Uptober has started with a bang as bitcoin’s price jumped to just over $120,000 for the first time since mid-August, when it rocketed to a new all-time high before it was violently rejected.

Many altcoins are also well in the green daily, which has resulted in many liquidations for over-leveraged traders.

Ever since BTC’s aforementioned ATH in August, the bears seemed to have dominated the market, as evidenced by some of the wild swings in the past seven weeks. September, which is historically a bearish month, provided a relief rally after the US Federal Reserve lowered the interest rates for the first time in 2025, but that was short-lived.

The overall negative sentiment prevailed, and BTC slipped below $109,000 at the end of the month. However, the bulls returned to the scene at the start of the current business week, and especially since October kicked off.

In the past four days alone, the primary cryptocurrency has added over ten grand and skyrocketed past $120,000 just minutes ago for the first time since those ATH levels mentioned above.

This impressive surge has propelled a massive increase in BTC’s market cap, which is now close to $2.4 trillion once again. Many altcoins have followed suit, led by Zcash’s massive 40% surge. XMR, CRO, HASH, ENA, APT, and ASTER are next in terms of daily gains.

Data from CoinGlass shows that the total value of wrecked positions in the past day is up to over $430 million. The number of liquidated traders is also on the rise, surpassing 127,000.

The single-largest liquidated order took place on Hyperliquid and was worth over $11 million.

Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised

The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price. As sales continue to climb beyond $7m, each new stage automatically increases the token price. This built-in mechanism creates a clear advantage for early investors and explains why the project is increasingly cited in “best presales to buy now” discussions across the crypto space. High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability. This structure transforms token ownership from a speculative bet into an income-generating position, a rare feature among today’s altcoins. A Multi-Asset Platform…
