DOG to Binance? Bitcoin Ordinals Advocate Calls for Listing
A Bitcoin Ordinals developer is seeking a Binance listing for DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON (DOG), a meme coin built via the Ordinals protocol. However, the developer in question has included some interesting warnings for the exchange in the request.
This particular call, alongside DOG community support, has captured the attention of the market, especially as DOG’s price has increased by 62% in the last seven days. Here’s all you need to know.
Binance Should Go to the Moon with the Coin, Developer Says
Leonidas, a Bitcoin Ordinals advocate and host of The Ordinal Show posted on X asking Binance to List DOG-GO-TO-THE-MOON. In the post, Leonidas noted that the token is the top meme coin on the Bitcoin network.
It was developed through the Ordinals and Runes protocol, which enhances the minting of fungible tokens on Bitcoin. However, Leonidas’ request was interesting and laced with “wise counselling” for Binance.
“If you would like to list DOG, the #1 meme coin on Bitcoin, we would very much be in favor of this however, we will not pay your listing fee or provide market makers. Should you choose not to list DOG, we will not be able to help you explain to your users why you chose to list corporate testnet meme coins that have been down only this month instead of listing the top meme coin on the largest blockchain in the world, which has been up only this month,” Leonidas wrote on X.
Currently, DOG’s price is $0.0040. While this is a 5% decrease in the last 24 hours, it represents a 62% hike since the past week. Following this development, the Weighted Sentiment around the Bitcoin-based meme coins jumped.

The rise in sentiment indicates an increase in positive comments about the cryptocurrency online. If sustained, this could lead to higher demand and price for the meme coin. Regarding this Binance Listing call, BeInCrypto found another X user saying DOG’s market would be much higher than $400 million soon.
“The next big DOG candle could send DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON to a $750 million market cap,” pseudonymous user MadPunk said.
DOG Price Prediction: 84% Rally Possible
An assessment of the daily chart shows that DOG traded within a descending triangle between the first week of July and September 20. This range-bound movement ensured that DOG’s price could not hit anywhere near $0.0098.
However, as of this writing, the meme coin has broken above the triangle. This breakout was instrumental in sending DOG to $0.0042 over the weekend.
But as of this writing, the price has declined to $0.0040. While the Fibonacci retracements indicator suggests that the token’s price might drop to $0.0037, bulls might prevent it from going below that value.

If this happens, DOG’s price could jump and rally toward $0.0067, especially if the Binance listing goes through. But if the exchange fails to heed the call, the meme coin value could plunge to $0.0018.

Aptos Partners with Circle and Stripe to Revitalize Network
The Aptos Foundation announced a new partnership with Circle and Stripe, hoping to revolutionize its network functionality. Circle’s CCTP and USDC stablecoin will enhance blockchain interoperability, while Stripe will attract TradFi by simplifying fiat interactions.
Aptos has set ambitious goals with this partnership, but APT’s upward momentum has stagnated.
Aptos Partners with Circle and Stripe
According to a new announcement from the Aptos (APT) Foundation, its network is integrating Circle’s USDC stablecoin and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). Additionally, Aptos is integrating the payment platform Stripe, generally streamlining fiat-related features. These include on- and off-ramps, payment processing, and TradFi ease of adoption.
“Once the integration is complete, users will be able to seamlessly transfer USDC between Aptos and 8 major blockchains. In addition to USDC and CCTP, Stripe will soon launch its payment services on Aptos, creating a reliable fiat on-ramp to streamline merchant pay-ins and payouts using Aptos-compatible wallets,” the firm claimed via press release.
In other words, Aptos aims to use this partnership to make itself “the ultimate hub for interoperable DeFi.” These companies will approach this goal from both ends: enticing new users and investors while substantially improving the core experience. This partnership marks a new development for Stripe’s integration with crypto.
Indeed, Stripe took a six-year hiatus from cryptocurrency payments, which only ended this April. Since then, however, it’s been engaging seriously with the industry. The firm entered an earlier partnership with Circle this June, hoping to promote USDC adoption. Additionally, Stripe acquired Bridge, a crypto payment platform, last month.
For its part, Aptos is undertaking a recovery process. Despite a major price spike in March, it suffered a lingering decline for most of 2024. The asset began regaining steam in October, and the November bull market has brought increased optimism. Still, its gains have stagnated for about a week.
This partnership between Aptos, Circle, and Stripe may help APT regain its forward momentum. These ambitious new features will greatly add functionality and accessibility to Aptos’ network. Still, the firm has set a very ambitious goal for itself: to solidify “its place as a leader in interoperable DeFi and enterprise-grade blockchain technology.” Only time can tell its success level.

SEC Moves Toward Solana ETF Approval Amid Pro-Crypto Shift
The SEC is quietly meeting with several issuers to discuss approving a Solana ETF, claims Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett. With Trump’s impending pro-crypto administration, the SEC seems more inclined to approve such a product.
However, anti-crypto figure Gary Gensler is still nominally in charge of the SEC, and public progress might not begin until 2025.
Solana ETF Approval Is Getting Closer
According to a scoop from Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, the SEC and several ETF issuers are in talks to approve a Solana ETF. Currently, Brazil is the only country that has given this product a green light. As recently as September, Polymarket odds gave the SEC a dismal 3% chance of approving it. This reluctance, however, might soon be changing:
“Talks between SEC staff and issuers looking to launch a Solana spot ETF are “progressing” with the SEC now engaging on S-1 applications. Recent engagement from staff, coupled with the incoming pro-crypto administration, is sparking a renewed sense of optimism that a Solana ETF could be approved sometime in 2025,” Terrett claimed.
Terrett was very clear about the impetus for this progress in negotiations: Donald Trump’s re-election. On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to significantly reform US crypto policy, and one cornerstone was firing anti-crypto SEC Chair Gary Gensler. Gensler has apparently conceded to his impending ouster, and his replacement will undoubtedly support the industry.
Previous attempts have floundered at an early step in the process. Once the SEC officially acknowledges an application, it must confirm or deny it within a 240-day window. Previous filings have lingered in limbo at this stage. However, the list of candidates is now growing: Canary Capital filed for a Solana ETF in October, and BitWise did the same earlier today.
Nonetheless, these positive negotiations still only consist of anonymous rumors. The Commission has not publicly moved to begin this process, and Gensler is still nominally in charge. Terrett posits that the SEC will only make serious progress on the Solana ETF at the start of 2025. Compared to previous pessimism, however, this is a complete sea change.

ETH/BTC Ratio Plummets to 42-Month Low Amid Bitcoin Surge
The ETH/BTC ratio, a metric measuring Ethereum’s price performance compared to Bitcoin, has reached its lowest point since March 2021. This development comes amid BTC’s brief rise to $98,000.
While the flagship cryptocurrency has increased by 7.45% in the last seven days, ETH has hovered around the same region, with investors raising concerns about the altcoin’s future.
Ethereum Continues to Lag Behind Bitcoin
In February, the ETH/BTC ratio climbed to a yearly high of 0.060. During that time, speculation spread that Ethereum’s price would begin to outperform Bitcoin and validate the altcoin season. However, that has not happened, as Bitcoin’s price has continued to make new highs
Ethereum, on the other hand, is yet to retest to reclaim its all-time high despite reaching $4,000 earlier in the year. This disparity in performance could be linked to several factors. For instance, both cryptocurrencies saw approval for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this year.
However, while Bitcoin has seen billions of dollars in inflows, ETH has been inconsistent in attracting capital. Hence, the institutional inflow has driven BTC toward $100,000, ensuring that the ETH/BTC ratio drops to $0.033 — the lowest level in 42 months.
Further, the disparity in Ethereum’s performance can largely be attributed to sustained selling pressure. For instance, CryptoQuant data reveals that exchange inflows into the top 10 exchanges have climbed to 461,901 ETH, valued at approximately $1.50 billion as of this writing.
This surge in exchange inflow reflects large deposits by investors, indicating a heightened willingness to sell. Such movements typically increase the supply of ETH on exchanges, raising the likelihood of a price drop.
In contrast, a low exchange inflow generally indicates that investors are holding onto their assets, which is not the current scenario for ETH.
ETH Price Prediction: Crypto Could Retrace
As of this writing, ETH trades at $3,317, which is a higher close than yesterday’s. Despite that, the altcoin is still below the Parabolic Stop And Reverse (SAR) indicator. The Parabolic SAR generates a series of dots that track the price movement, positioning above the price during a downtrend and below the price during an uptrend.
A “flip” in the dots — shifting from one side to the other — often signals a potential trend reversal. As seen below, the indicator is above ETH’s price, suggesting that the cryptocurrency could reverse its recent gains.
If this is the case and the ETH/BTC ratio declines, Ethereum’s price could decline to $3,083. However, if buying pressure increases, that might not happen. Instead, the value could surge above $3,500 and toward 4,000.
