JPMorgan is set to build new crypto solutions on Coinbase's Base blockchain, an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution, signaling a major institutional push that could inject billions into the ecosystem. This development coincides with BlackRock's substantial crypto accumulation, adding approximately $22.46 billion in Q3 2025 to reach over $102 billion in holdings, primarily in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Bitcoin's price currently trades at $96,635, facing short-term bearish pressure due to Federal Reserve interest rate concerns, but analysts project a potential surge to $115,000 by late 2025, driven by ETF approvals and institutional inflows. Ethereum, trading around $3,215, is poised for growth with targets of $5,000 to $7,000 as Layer-2 networks like Base expand.

In the altcoin space, XRP is under scrutiny with Polymarket predicting an 81% probability of ETF approval by the SEC in 2025, which could propel XRP prices to the $5–$8 range or higher. Meanwhile, presale projects like Based Eggman (GGs) on Base are gaining attention for their potential 100x–1000x returns, leveraging meme virality and utility in gaming and social-fi.
