Forward Industries Faces 24% Loss on Its Massive Solana Treasury

Forward Industries Faces 24% Loss on Its Massive Solana Treasury

The post Forward Industries Faces 24% Loss on Its Massive Solana Treasury appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Forward Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORD) just became one of the most talked-about traditional firms in crypto. According to DefiLlama, the company holds 6.82 million SOL, purchased at an average price of $232 per token. That stash is currently worth around $1.2 billion, marking a 24.13% unrealized loss of roughly $382 million. Still, even with the loss, that holding alone is worth more than the company’s entire market cap. Solana Bags Bigger Than the Company Itself FORD’s stock has taken a brutal hit. It’s down 73.6% from its $39.6 peak to just $10.44 today. That gives the company a market cap of about $900 million, nearly $300 million less than the value of its Solana holdings. A Nasdaq-listed firm now owns crypto worth more than the company’s entire market value. This kind of mismatch doesn’t happen often in traditional finance. It’s the kind of imbalance that gets traders circling, trying to figure out whether the stock is undervalued or the crypto bet is too big for comfort. Even the whales are feeling the heat – Forward Industries’ 6.82M $SOL stack is now $382M underwater. The stock’s down 73% from its highs, but conviction is what separates the winners from the noise. Selling into fear has never built wealth and fundamentally, crypto’s never… pic.twitter.com/kMg8C0VZ3J — Kyledoops (@kyledoops) November 5, 2025 The $1B Buyback Plan In a move that shocked the market, Forward Industries also announced a $1 billion share repurchase program. The plan runs through September 2027, signaling management’s confidence in the long-term direction of both the company and its Solana treasury. The buyback authorization is massive, more than the firm’s entire current market cap. That means, in theory, FORD could retire all its outstanding shares over time if it fully executes the plan. The timing raised eyebrows. Launching a buyback while…

75% of Americans Would Date a Crypto Investor, But 1 in 5 Fell for Scams

75% of Americans Would Date a Crypto Investor, But 1 in 5 Fell for Scams

As online dating continues to dominate the way people connect, finance now plays a surprising role in attraction. Cryptocurrency, once a niche interest, has gone mainstream and now appearing in dating profiles and everyday conversations. For some, it signals ambition and financial confidence; for others, it raises questions about risk and trust. Our new survey offers a closer look at this evolving dynamic: while most people are open to dating someone who invests in crypto, the digital currency space comes with its own set of red flags. This study provides findings on how cryptocurrency affects romantic relationships and dating perceptions today. 75% Are Open to Dating a Crypto Investors When it comes to dating someone who lists “crypto” on their bio, Americans are surprisingly open-minded. The data shows that 75.3% would consider dating someone who invests in cryptocurrency, with an almost equal split between men (51%) and women (49%). However, openness doesn’t necessarily mean enthusiasm. When asked what first comes to mind upon seeing “crypto investing” on a dating profile, opinions skew complex. While 20.5% view it as “financially smart” and 24.7% see it as “ambitious,” a striking 51% immediately think “risk taker” or “gambler.” This shows that crypto hasn’t shaken its association with high-risk speculation. More than a third (36.9%) expect crypto investors to talk too much about their digital assets, while 19.2% see them as “unstable” or “chasing trends.” Perhaps most damning, 16.8% assume they’re “probably a scammer”—a perception that, as we’ll see, isn’t entirely unfounded. That means over half (56.8%) associate crypto with some level of negativity. Percentage First Impression of seeing ‘crypto’ on a dating profile 20.5% Financially smart 24.7% Ambitious  51.5% Risk taker or gambler 36.9% Likely to talk too much about crypto 19.2% Unstable or chasing trends 16.8% Probably a scammer Do Crypto Make You More or Less Attractive? One of the survey’s most unexpected findings revolves around the gender gap in crypto dating dynamics. Interestingly: women are twice as likely as men to mention “crypto” on their dating profiles — a reversal of the common stereotype that crypto is a male-dominated domain. 66.67% of women say yes to put ‘crypto’ in their bio, which is double the number of men who do the same (33.33%). Meanwhile, 22.65% of women find men who invest in crypto more attractive, suggesting cryptocurrency can serve as a genuine attraction factor for some. The survey also revealed that crypto investors themselves are considerably more open to dating within their community: they’re 6.3 times more likely to want to date another crypto investor than non-investors are.  Crypto-Romance Scams: When Online Dating Gets Mixed Up with Fraud Crypto scammers often start with a romantic approach on social media or dating apps. Victims are then encouraged to invest in cryptocurrency platforms or send digital assets as proof of commitment. These approaches take various forms: 4.8% said they were convinced to invest, 4.1% were directly asked for money via cryptocurrency, and 7.9% received links to crypto platforms or apps. Who is The Target of Cryptocurrency Scam? Among Americans who were approached romantically online and then introduced to crypto, 58.44% are women and the other 41.56% are men. This gender skew suggests that scammers are specifically targeting women with romantic crypto pitches, making them disproportionately vulnerable to this type of fraud.  When broken down by age, the younger generation appears particularly at risk. 23% of Gen Z say they’ve been approached romantically online by someone who later brought up cryptocurrency. As the youngest, most digitally active demographic, Gen Z’s familiarity with crypto doesn’t necessarily protect them from manipulation — in fact, it might make them easier targets. How Do People React: Block, Chat, or Actually Invest? When confronted with someone bringing up crypto in a romantic context, Americans respond in varied ways. A concerning 2.6% actually started investing after these approaches, while 6.1% took protective action by blocking or reporting the person. The largest group (22.7%) continued chatting, suggesting either curiosity, politeness, or perhaps an inability to recognize potential red flags. How Much Money Did The Victims Lose? The survey found that 19% of respondents say they—or someone they know—have lost money to a crypto romance scam. When these victims were asked about the financial damage, the numbers became staggering: 62% lost $1,000 or more, with 21% reporting losses of $10,000 or higher. Even more concerning, 20.58% of those who are open to dating crypto investors report that they or someone they know had been affected by such scams — hinting that openness to crypto may correlate with higher risk exposure. Methodology This study surveyed 458 Americans through Prolific, a popular online research platform, in late August 2025 with a well-balanced gender distribution of 51.1% female and 58.3% male participants. The demographic breakdown showed multiple generations, including 19.9% Gen Z (ages 18-28), 44.3% Millennials (ages 29-44), 26.9% Gen X (ages 45-60), and 9% Baby Boomers (over age 60). More than half (53.5%) of respondents reported currently investing in cryptocurrency. The post 75% of Americans Would Date a Crypto Investor, But 1 in 5 Fell for Scams appeared first on NFT Plazas.

AlphaPepe Emerges Strong Despite Crypto Market Sell-Off

AlphaPepe Emerges Strong Despite Crypto Market Sell-Off

The post AlphaPepe Emerges Strong Despite Crypto Market Sell-Off appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Presales The crypto market has cooled slightly this week, with Bitcoin hovering around $102,000 and Ethereum steady near $3,300. Solana and XRP are also holding firm despite light profit-taking across the board. Analysts view this as a normal pause in a long-term bull cycle that began earlier this year. Amid this consolidation, one name continues to generate momentum — AlphaPepe (ALPE). The BNB Chain-based meme coin has become a standout in 2025’s presale scene, amassing over 3,300 holders and attracting more than 100 new buyers daily. The presale is now approaching $400,000, signaling strong retail demand even as broader markets catch their breath. Crypto analysts are calling AlphaPepe the “next Shiba Inu”, pointing to its blend of meme culture, structured tokenomics, and early traction as key signs of long-term potential. A $1,000 allocation now buys over 400,000 ALPE, which could be worth around $6,000 at launch — and potentially $100,000 by 2026 if forecasts of a $1 price target play out. Market Context: Bitcoin Holds, Altcoins Reset After weeks of strong performance, the crypto market is entering a phase of natural consolidation. Bitcoin remains above $100K, a level that analysts consider the new psychological floor heading into 2026. Ethereum has maintained steady network activity and remains comfortably above $3,000, supported by institutional inflows and growing DeFi usage. Solana, meanwhile, continues to dominate in transaction volume and developer growth, trading around $158. XRP stays above $2, while Dogecoin and Shiba Inu — the previous generation of meme icons — are seeing modest pullbacks as traders rotate into newer, faster-moving assets. This shift in momentum has created the perfect backdrop for AlphaPepe’s rise. While blue chips steady, ALPE is proving that retail enthusiasm is alive and well — especially for meme projects that show substance beyond the hype. AlphaPepe: The Meme…

NFTs hit the brakes: Market cap tanks 46% in just 30 days

The post NFTs hit the brakes: Market cap tanks 46% in just 30 days appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CoinGecko data shows the NFT market value has nearly halved in a month, with even top collections like BAYC and CryptoPunks losing ground. The non-fungible token (NFT) market has lost nearly half its value in the past 30 days, even as trading activity picked up in October. CoinGecko data shows that the global NFT market capitalization plunged from about $6.6 billion on Oct. 5 to $3.5 billion on Wednesday, a 45% drop in just 30 days. The slump comes despite a sales count increase in October that briefly lifted blue-chip floor prices.  CryptoSlam data shows NFTs recorded a sales count of around $631 million in October, a 13% increase from September’s $556 million. Bitcoin and Base NFTs demonstrated resilience over the last 30 days, with increases of 9% and 24%, respectively.  Read more Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/nfts-hit-the-brakes-market-cap-drops-46-in-30-days?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=feed%3F__%3D1762393842673%26nc%3D1762393842673%26_q%3D1762393842673%26ttt%3D1762393842673&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound

YouTube Says New Policy Doesn’t Ban All Crypto Content, Despite Uproar From Creators

YouTube Says New Policy Doesn’t Ban All Crypto Content, Despite Uproar From Creators

The post YouTube Says New Policy Doesn’t Ban All Crypto Content, Despite Uproar From Creators appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief YouTube expanded its ban on promoting certain gambling sites on its platform to include those giving video game skins, cosmetics, or NFTs as part of the casino. Crypto gaming advocates were concerned this would include general crypto gaming content, as the industry is often referred to as a casino. YouTube confirmed to Decrypt that this is not the case, as the ban is targeting casinos and gambling sites, not gaming experiences. YouTube recently said that it will expand its ban on online gambling content to prohibit redirecting viewers to sites that offer “additional items that have monetary value,” including video game skins, cosmetics, and NFTs. The change will take effect on November 17. The announcement led to uproar across the crypto community, as creators anticipated that this would result in a blanket ban on crypto content, particularly crypto gaming content. However, a spokesperson for YouTube confirmed to Decrypt that this will not be the case.  “Content showing video game skins or cosmetics creators earn in games or general discussions about items with real-world monetary value, such as NFTs, will not be impacted by this update,” the Google-owned company said.  YouTube’s new policy is a direct attack on Web3 gaming and CS skins. Starting November 17, any videos promoting NFTs, crypto tokens, or in-game skins with real value get hit as gambling violations. The end of an era… I discovered NFTs through YT. It’s TikTok time I guess pic.twitter.com/5NYqKSaV4u — Leevai (@LeevaiNFT) October 31, 2025 The concern arose due to some elements of modern gaming often being compared to a casino or gambling experience. Counter-Strike 2 case openings, for example, have often been compared to gambling. In crypto gaming, the allegation of gambling is intensified because in-game items can be sold on the open market for cryptocurrency. YouTube confirmed…

Release Date for the Most Anticipated Altcoin of Recent Months Has Been Announced

The post Release Date for the Most Anticipated Altcoin of Recent Months Has Been Announced appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The next-generation layer 1 blockchain project Monad (MON) announced that it will launch its mainnet and distribute its native token on November 24 at 17:00 (UTC). The Monad Foundation team stated in a statement that both the community airdrop and the public launch of the network will be among the most notable cryptocurrency events of this year. The Monad Foundation launched its token request portal in mid-October, where users could view their MON token allocations and connect their wallets. This portal remained active until November 3. Monad’s partner wallet platform, Privy, reported experiencing “poor performance due to high demand” on the morning the portal launched. “This is one of the most anticipated crypto launches of the past year,” said Nathan Cha, Director of Marketing at Monad Foundation. The airdrop is designed to reward early adopters of the Monad ecosystem and approximately 225,000 verified on-chain users. Recipients include users of decentralized exchanges like Hyperliquid and Uniswap, active participants in lending protocols like Aave, Euler, and Morpho, as well as users of memecoin platforms like Pump.fun and Virtuals. In addition, long-term holders of various NFT projects and DAO governance participants will also receive a share of the distribution. The Monad team stated, “We want members of our community to be important stakeholders in the future of the network because we believe they will have a transformative impact on Monad and the overall crypto ecosystem.” A portion of the airdrop was earmarked for crypto education startups like RareSkills and SheFi, and security researchers like SEAL 911 and Protocol Guild. Monad also released a limited-edition collection of “Monad Cards” featuring prominent figures on social media. Founded in 2022, Monad has raised $225 million to build an EVM-compatible network that aims to combine the speed of Solana and the decentralization of Ethereum. *This is not…
