NOWPayments Announces Significant Gain in Crypto Payments

NOWPayments, a leading crypto payment gateway, is excited to announce the significaте Increase of Crypto Payments since the beginning of November. 

Why Bitcoin took a new ATH in November?

Starting in January 2024, Bitcoin’s price was around $48,717, marking a period of cautious optimism following a tumultuous 2023. Throughout the first half of the year, Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations as market dynamics shifted, driven by regulatory developments and increased institutional interest. By November 2024, Bitcoin had reached a pivotal moment, hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $75,000 on November 8 and then surging to $89,000 shortly thereafter.

This remarkable growth didn’t go unnoticed by the business world. Companies across various industries quickly recognized the massive business opportunity Bitcoin presented. The ATH sent a clear message: Bitcoin was no longer just a speculative asset but a powerful tool for transactions, store of value, and an entry point into the broader crypto economy.

Businesses’ interest in Bitcoin grew for several reasons:

  • Increased Institutional Adoption: Major financial institutions rolled out Bitcoin-based services, providing legitimacy and opening doors for mainstream use.
  • Global Payment Integration: Bitcoin’s borderless nature appealed to businesses seeking efficient, low-cost cross-border transactions, particularly as inflation and currency instability impacted traditional fiat systems.
  • Hedge Against Inflation: As global economies faced ongoing inflationary pressures, Bitcoin became a preferred asset for protecting wealth, especially for businesses looking to diversify holdings.

Climbing to $75K

The journey to $75,000 began with a series of positive developments in the cryptocurrency market. Following the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs and increased institutional buying, Bitcoin’s price steadily climbed. On November 7, 2024, Bitcoin reached approximately $76,999 before closing at around $75,820. This surge was fueled by a bullish market sentiment as investors reacted positively to the election results and anticipated regulatory clarity under Trump’s administration.

Breaking Through $80K

Following its initial surge to $75K, Bitcoin quickly surpassed the $80,000 mark on November 10, 2024. The momentum continued as traders rushed to capitalize on the positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency. By this point, BTC was trading at approximately $80,976, reflecting an increase of nearly 9.64% from the previous day.

Approaching a New BTC All Time High at $90K

As of November 12, 2024, Bitcoin’s price soared to around $89,000. This represents a staggering increase within just a few days following the election and highlights the cryptocurrency’s volatility and potential for rapid gains. The combination of strong demand from both retail and institutional investors has driven BTC prices higher as they anticipate further growth.

How has the new ATH for BTC led to an increase in crypto payments?

We decided to analyse how the rise in the price of the main cryptocurrency – BTC affected the number of payments. NOWPayments team took the number of payments before the U.S. election and compared it with the data after the Trump has won. The result exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the growth of BTC from $72,729.89 to $90,750.94, the number of payments increased by as much as 8%. This significant change indicates the increased interest in cryptocurrency and the correlation of BTC price and cryptocurrency usage.

  1. Correlation Between BTC Price and Crypto Payments:

The 8% increase in the number of payments demonstrates a clear correlation between Bitcoin’s price growth and the rising adoption of cryptocurrency for transactions. As BTC’s value surged, so did user engagement with crypto payments.

  1. Increased Interest in Cryptocurrency:

The significant rise in payments highlights growing public and business interest in cryptocurrencies as a viable payment method, especially during moments of market optimism fueled by events like the U.S. election.

  1. Market Events Drive Crypto Adoption:

The post-election Bitcoin rally, combined with its ATH, underscores how political and economic events can directly impact crypto adoption, encouraging more users to explore cryptocurrency as both an investment and a practical payment tool.

BlockDAG Presale Nears $600M With Alpine F1® Sponsorship as Litecoin & Polygon Approach Critical Q4 Breakout Levels

Published

2 weeks ago

on

October 2, 2025

By

Crypto markets are entering Q4 with volatility returning, and major altcoins are testing important resistance levels. Litecoin (LTC) has been consolidating strongly above $100, positioning for another push higher, while Polygon (POL) is compressing beneath the $0.28–$0.29 resistance zone.

Both projects carry credible catalysts: Litecoin benefits from a rising network hashrate, while Polygon has its Rio upgrade and token migration almost complete. Yet, the project commanding the most attention is BlockDAG (BDAG). Its presale has already raised more than $415M at a fixed $0.0013 price and secured a global sponsorship with the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team, placing it among the most impactful presales ever.

Polygon (POL) Price Forecast: Rio Upgrade & Token Migration

Polygon (POL) has traded between $0.24 and $0.29 for months, creating a setup where a breakout could be close. A weekly close above $0.29 would confirm a base breakout, opening initial upside toward the low $0.30s and extending toward $0.35–$0.39 if momentum continues. Failure to reclaim $0.29 keeps the price rotating within its established range.

Two catalysts stand out for Q4. The Rio upgrade, completed on testnet in September, is scheduled for mainnet deployment in October and aims to improve throughput and validator economics. In parallel, the MATIC → POL migration is now 99% complete, reducing supply risks and finalizing the new token economy.

Prediction for Q4: If Rio launches smoothly and POL breaks $0.29 with RSI above 50 and stronger volume, the breakout case strengthens. Otherwise, expect continued sideways trade within $0.24–$0.29.

Litecoin (LTC) Price Prediction: Network Growth Supports Breakout

Litecoin has spent the last several months consolidating between $103 and $125, building a stable base above $100. Key support remains between $103 and $106, with resistance at $125–$135, the level that capped its rallies in June. A weekly close above $125 would confirm bullish continuation, opening the path toward $150–$155, where prior 2024 supply remains.

Network security continues to improve. Hashrate has risen nearly 19% in the past 90 days, reaching multi-year highs. This growth in miner participation supports long-term chain health. Technical signals are constructive as well, with daily RSI neutral and price above the 50- and 100-day EMAs, leaving room for further upside.

Prediction for Q4: If LTC holds $103 and clears $125–$135 with volume support, a rally toward $150 is realistic. If support breaks, a pullback toward $95–$100 may occur before another move higher.

BlockDAG: The Presale Setting New Standards

BlockDAG (BDAG) is changing expectations for presale projects. With more than $415M raised, 26B+ coins sold, and 312,000 holders already onboarded, it is scaling at levels many Layer-1 networks only achieve years after launch. Adoption is visible across both retail and infrastructure: over 3M people mine through the X1 Mobile Miner app, and 20,000 hardware miners have shipped to 130+ countries.

The landmark sponsorship with the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team elevates BDAG beyond crypto circles, making it the first Layer-1 blockchain to secure a Formula 1® partnership. This places its brand before billions of fans each season, linking it with speed, global culture, and mainstream credibility.

At a fixed presale price of $0.0013, with less than $200M left before the $600M cap, the opportunity is becoming increasingly limited. Analysts highlight that presales often accelerate in final phases, and BDAG’s momentum suggests sellout could come sooner than expected. With long-term speculation pointing to $1, the ROI potential exceeds 62,000%, making BDAG stand out as the best crypto presale of 2025.

Summing Up

Litecoin and Polygon both offer strong Q4 setups. Litecoin’s improving hashrate and supportive structure suggest a path to $150+, while Polygon’s Rio upgrade and POL migration provide catalysts for a breakout above $0.29. Both carry potential, though gains may be measured.

BlockDAG, however, is showing a different trajectory. With over $415M raised, adoption proven through millions of miners, and cultural visibility secured through the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team partnership, it is positioning itself as the best crypto presale of 2025. At $0.0013, BDAG presents a rare asymmetric opportunity in a market that rewards both adoption and credibility.

$STRAYDOG: From Scraps to Steaks… And Now Giving Back to the Pack

Published

2 months ago

on

August 29, 2025

By

Every street has one… the scarred, hungry stray dog that refuses to die. In crypto, that stray is all of us: rugged, scammed, abandoned, yet somehow still here.

That spirit is what gave birth to $STRAYDOG, the meme coin that doesn’t wag its tail for VCs or insiders. StrayDog didn’t start in a polished boardroom with pie charts and buzzwords. It started in the alleyways of Web3 scarred by rugs, hardened by scams and raised on scraps of degen dreams.

The Cleanest Dirty Dog

Most meme coins arrive with presales, hidden wallets, or bloated marketing allocations. StrayDog flipped the script:

🚫 No presale
🚫 No team tokens
🚫 No leash
🚫 No masters

Instead, StrayDog calls itself the cleanest dirty dog … scarred on the outside, pure at the core. A fair launch built on chaos, loyalty, and Pack energy.

Why StrayDog Matters

StrayDog is more than just a coin, it’s a cultural movement for underdogs. Every rug leaves survivors. Every scam leaves fighters. Every broken chart leaves a few more strays still standing.

StrayDog doesn’t beg. It bites.

The project has already drawn attention as one of the cleanest launches of the cycle, with its bundle buyback model fueling liquidity and buy pressure while ensuring the supply stays in community hands. The Pack is built on resilience, loyalty, and a refusal to roll over.

Where the Pack Is Going

The vision is simple: turn scraps into steaks, keep the streets safe, and prove that the underdog always bites hardest.

Unlike kennel coins that rely on polished marketing, StrayDog thrives on chaos and culture. The developers describe it as “the Mad Max of meme coins,” and its roadmap reflects that: grow the Pack, fuel buybacks, and howl so loud the suits can’t ignore it.

The First Step in Giving Back

But StrayDog isn’t just taking over the streets of crypto. It’s also stepping into the real world.

In its first act of giving back, StrayDog has become an annual sponsor of the Cape Coral Soccer Association (CCSA), the largest full-service soccer organization in Southwest Florida, established in 1974.

CCSA is a non-profit dedicated to fostering the physical, mental, and emotional growth of Cape Coral’s youth through the sport of soccer. With over 160,000 residents in Cape Coral, the league provides a safe and structured environment where kids can learn teamwork, resilience, and loyalty… the same values that define the Pack.

⚽ Facilities:

  • Cape Coral Sports Complex: 54 acres, 14 athletic fields, concessions, playgrounds.
  • Pelican Soccer Complex: 14 acres, 4 oversized fields, playgrounds, concessions, club office.

Over the years, CCSA has hosted major events for the Florida Youth Soccer Association including the State Cup Final Four, Presidents Cup, and the annual Norm Rosen tournaments.

For StrayDog, this sponsorship is symbolic: it’s about teaching the next generation Pack values… loyalty, looking after each other, and never rugging your teammates.

Who Joins the Pack?

Not the suits. Not the polished. Not the ones who need their paws held.

The Pack is made up of survivors.. scarred by rugs, hardened by scams, yet hungrier than ever.

StrayDog doesn’t want fans, it wants family.

In the End

Every dog has its day. This one belongs to the Stray.
