BNB just hit $1,000. HYPE exploded past $59. ASTER pumped 350% in 24 hours… and CZ might be behind it. He lowkey declared war on the #1 perp DEX by tweeting a chart?

Here’s what we got for you today:

  • šŸ‘€ How to spot low cap gems early

  • ⭐ FED x SEC → bull run setup!?

  • ⭐ BNB $1K | HYPE vs ASTER war begins

  • šŸ”„ Burning hot takes for the road

crypto-chart

You’re late if you wait. But you’re early if you know where to look. In this part 1, I’ll show you how I filter out noise, fake hype, and spot low cap gems before the herd finds them.

Because while everyone’s chasing after $HYPE.X ( ā–¼ 4.2% ) and $ASTER.X ( 0.0% ) , the next 10x is still hiding… in plain sight:

šŸ’š FED + SEC → IS THIS THE BULL RUN SETUP?

Big news from both the Fed and SEC just dropped, and markets are already reacting.

1. Fed Cuts Rates by 0.25% → First Time in 2025

  • Fed lowered interest rates by 0.25%, now targeting 4.00–4.25%

  • Matches market expectations (90%+ predicted it on CME + Polymarket)

  • First cut in 8 months, signaling the start of a new easing cycle

  • Expect only 1 cut in 2026, surprising many analysts

Fed plans 2 more rate cuts this year (likely in Oct 30 and Dec 11 meetings). Jerome Powell’s key points:

  • Unemployment rising slightly

  • Job growth slowing

  • Inflation higher than expected → ā€œThis is a risk-management decisionā€

2. SEC Approves Fast-Track Crypto ETF Process

In parallel, the SEC has greenlit a new, streamlined ETF approval process for crypto assets.

  • Now only 75-day review periods (down from 240 days)

  • Assets only need to have futures trading for 6+ months on a regulated exchange

This change came after major U.S. exchanges, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX, pushed for unified listing standards.

So what coins qualify first? Bitcoin and Ethereum already have ETFs. Solana and XRP now have futures on CME → ETF-ready in 2025. Coinbase’s futures platform might help bring in others.

I think that ETF race for altcoins will move quicker than most are pricing in. Fed is managing risk, so expect volatility along the way.

Retail investors may not feel it yet, but institutions are already preparing entries. Don’t forget to recheck altcoin portfolios (especially ETF contenders)

Also watch macro calendar dates closely (Oct 30 & Dec 11 = potential rate cut catalysts). It’s not going to be a straight line

šŸ”„ BNB 4 DIGITS. FINALLY, ALL-TIME HYPE & ASTER

BNB has officially hit 4 digits. Yes, you read that right, $1,000 per $BNB.X ( ā–² 0.11% ) , up nearly +19% in just one month.

But that’s not even the craziest thing happening today: $HYPE.X ( ā–¼ 4.2% ) vs $ASTER.X ( 0.0% ) and CZ’s surprise cameo.

→ Hyperliquid’s token HYPE just printed a new ATH: $59.29, up 8% in 24h and +38% over the past month → outperforming BTC, ETH, and XRP.

[All-time Hype 😁]

And he's not wrong. Hyperliquid is:

  • The top perp DEX with $13.6B daily volume, $335B+ over 30 days

  • Generating $110M+ revenue in August alone

  • Dominating spot volume too, ranked #3 just behind Uniswap & PancakeSwap

  • Running a $1.4B HYPE buyback program (31M tokens bought so far)

One trader (@tummyy1) is long $30M HYPE, adding 123 HYPE every 30 seconds, still not taking profit.

Meanwhile, Hyperliquid’s stablecoin project $USDH just kicked off its dev battle. Circle is integrating $USDC.X ( ā–¼ 0.01% ) via HyperEVM, and might even become a validator.

But then, out of nowhere, CZ (ex-Binance CEO) posted a chart of ASTER, the new perp DEX on BNB Chain, with a good praise!

cz-shill-aster

→ ASTER exploded +350% within 24h, peaking at $0.52. Why it matters?

  • Aster is backed by YZi Labs (CZ’s fund)

  • CZ hinted months ago that he wanted to invest in an orderbook-hidden perp DEX

  • Aster was the community's answer

  • Now, it's clearly in CZ's spotlight, possibly his play to take back market share from Hyperliquid

After all, HYPE is still outperforming everything in sight. ASTER has CZ backing and early momentum.

BNB just joined the 4-digit club. It’s a battle for perp dominance.

CZ doesn’t move like this unless it’s strategic. If he’s pushing Aster, it’s because Binance feels the pressure from Hyperliquid’s insane growth.

We need to keep an eye on CZ, when he tweets, the market moves šŸ˜Ž DEX season is already here.
