Husky Inu AI (HINU) has completed its latest scheduled price increase in its ongoing pre-launch phase, moving from $0.00026331 to $0.00026431. The project's pre-launch phase, which began on April 1, 2025, is designed to continue fundraising, secure capital for platform improvements, and support ecosystem expansion ahead of its official launch. The team has scheduled a series of review meetings to finalize the launch date, with the third meeting set for January 1, 2026. To date, the project has raised $935,602 and is approaching the $1 million milestone.
Concurrently, the broader cryptocurrency market showed signs of recovery after a difficult week. Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed the $70,000 level, trading around $70,330 to $71,123, while Ethereum (ETH) crossed the $2,100 mark. Other major altcoins like Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) also traded in positive territory, contributing to a 2.57% increase in the total crypto market capitalization to approximately $2.4 trillion.
In a separate development, the Bitcoin network's mining difficulty registered a sharp drop of over 11% in a single adjustment period, the steepest decline since China's mining ban. The difficulty fell to around 125.86 T, with the average block time decreasing from 11 minutes to 9.47 minutes. Projections indicate the difficulty will rise again in the next adjustment.
Finally, digital asset manager CoinShares addressed concerns about quantum computing threats to Bitcoin, with research lead Christopher Bendiksen noting that only about 10,230 BTC are held in wallets with publicly visible cryptographic keys that could be potentially vulnerable, a fraction of the total supply.
