BTC Likely to Hit $100,000 Milestone by 1 January
In crypto news today, according to on-chain options DeFi protocol Derive.xyz’s data, as the market dynamics shifted after the US election, it wasn’t likely we would see Bitcoin hitting $100,000 by 1 December.
However, there’s a 76.8% probability that BTC will hit this milestone by 1 January next year, said Sean Dawson, Head of Research at Derive.
Chances are also to spike around Donald Trump’s inauguration on 20 January.
“Looking further out, the probabilities stretch to a 4% chance of BTC exceeding $200,000 by late March and almost four times more likely (14%) by late September,” Dawson said in an email.
Per the commentary, the data showcases “an intense focus” on Bitcoin’s trajectory during key economic events and changing macroeconomic conditions.
“Despite a recent pullback and subdued volatility, trading activity remains high, indicating sustained interest in Bitcoin’s market movements,” Dawson concluded.
BLOCKLORDS Unveils LORDCHAIN: A Layer-3 Solution on Base
MetaKing Studios’ BLOCKLORDS has launched LORDCHAIN, a Layer-3 blockchain solution built on Base.
Per the press release, the Master Validator is now live. This is the first phase of LORDCHAIN’s rollout.
Users can now lock tokens and earn rewards, and they will soon be able to become validators themselves.
LORDCHAIN will introduce a testnet phase, followed by the full mainnet launch.
The announcement states that this blockchain is “designed to redefine the gaming landscape.”
It features true play-to-own mechanics, minimal fees, near-instant transactions within a secure environment, and enhanced scalability and performance, the team claims.
Scaling-wise, given that BLOCKLORDS Dynasty attracted 1.85 million users and over 80 million transactions on Base, LORDCHAIN is capable of accommodating up to 100 million users and handling billions of transactions.
Its target is a throughput of 5 million gas per second, and it may offer even higher capacity based on demand.
Also, it is built on the Optimism Stack framework to ensure compatibility and interoperability within the broader blockchain ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the bridging time between Base and LORDCHAIN is less than 10 seconds, said the announcement.
Users pay all transaction fees using the LRDS token to improve in-game economy.
