Crypto analyst alicharts combines long-term K-line charts of mainstream crypto assets to predict the potential peaks of various mainstream cryptocurrencies in this bull market from a technical analysis perspective as follows: The first target for Bitcoin is the previous high of $125,000. If this high is broken, it may reach the upper boundary of the ascending channel—close to $190,000. The Ethereum monthly chart shows the ascending channel it has followed over the past 5 years, with the upper boundary around $5,000 being a level to watch. If this level is broken, the expected trend will point towards $8,800.The SOL monthly chart appears to be forming a cup and handle pattern, with the neckline around $295. If the monthly close breaks this line, it will strengthen the bullish case, with the potential target of this pattern expected to be close to $2,744.

According to CoinDesk, Tether's USDT will return to the Bitcoin network this month, issued through the Tether-supported infrastructure project Utexo.With a market capitalization of nearly $190 billion, USDT is the largest stablecoin in the world, originally launched on the Bitcoin Omni protocol in 2014, and later Ethereum and Tron became its main issuance networks. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated on X last week, "It's home."Utexo was established in 2025 and completed a $7.5 million financing round earlier this year, led by Tether, and has obtained a commercial license to issue USDT on Bitcoin.Utexo uses the RGB protocol with client-side validation, keeping most transaction data off the Bitcoin public ledger, with ownership anchored on UTXO. Unlike the account models of Ethereum and Tron, transaction details are fully preserved off-chain between the two parties, with the Bitcoin ledger used solely for cryptographic proof of ownership.Utexo offers three main use cases: private USDT transfers, direct exchanges between native BTC and USDT, and lending with native Bitcoin as collateral, without the need for cross-chain wrapping like WBTC.Since RGB assets are ultimately anchored to Bitcoin UTXO, Utexo cannot freeze assets like Tether can freeze Ethereum addresses, but instead maintains a blacklist of UTXO related to sanctioned or illegal activities and distributes it to exchanges and other institutions, making these UTXO non-redeemable.
