Saturn Goes Turbo, Arch Raises Big, and More!
There’s not much to report in terms of market movement…. that is aside from Bitcoin ripping past $90K! However, Ordinals and Runes are still biding their time, but plenty has been happening behind the scenes.
Here's a quick snapshot of what dropped just today:
Arch Network has raised $13 million in a Series A round led by Pantera Capital. They’re building the rails for fast, scalable Bitcoin-native applications. The vision is no bridges, no wrapped assets, just direct transactions from BTC wallets. Devs can choose final settlement on Bitcoin or sub-second execution via Arch.
We’re excited to share that @PanteraCapital is leading our $13M Series A to help @Arch build the permissionless financial rails for a Bitcoin-denominated world.
This funding brings us closer to unlocking Solana-like speed for Bitcoin apps, tapping into the $1T+ Bitcoin economy.

A few names from the Alkanes team jumped into an X Space hosted by Barbra to dig into what’s going on over there. If you’ve got questions, they’re probably answered in the recording below:
Spaces rugged,but we already asked all the questions.
Thank you @judoflexchop@AirheadFun@SUBFROSTio@jin_maa for coming
And to all 579 of you that tuned in.
Alkanes!!!

Busy day on all fronts! We love to see it!
It’s hard to disagree with Juanse’s take with that in mind:
Runes trading infrastructure and experience just keeps improving.
Bitcoin memecoins reached new ATHs in November 2024, despite having far worse infrastructure and user experience back then.
The next attention cycle and volume shift to Runes will be met with smoother trading,

Top Posts | An update from Null on what levels he’s watching:
Bitcoin testing the 92k 50% area and is 8 hourly bars up and 6 4hr bars up (looking for the 7 bar signal on the 4hr).
If it pulls back from here levels I'm watching to the downside are around 88k, 85k, and the 83k 50% (as it stands based on the current high).

Ordinals
Yesterday was green, today is red. Simple as that. This has been the pattern for months now. Calling it early, tomorrow's green! Let’s see.
Bit harsh to say Bro Bears are the biggest losers of the day, down 16%, since they only just launched. But after them, it’s Airheads down 11% following a big run where they nearly tripled in price. Some pullback was bound to happen.
Bitcoin Puppets and NodeMonkes are sitting at exactly the same price again. Still waiting to see which one breaks free, if either ever does. Maybe they stay linked forever and everyone wins.
Runes
Still no Runes live on Slingshot, and that’s likely the next big catalyst unless something drops out of nowhere. It should be landing any day now, potentially.
Only $BRO is up today, pushing back above the $2M market cap line. Nothing too rough elsewhere, $ZBIT dropped a bit, but they've been in the green for a few days so a pullback was expected.
Could just be some profit-taking because Bitcoin has pushed higher. Even with many floors near all-time lows, this still happens. Doesn’t always make sense, but here we are.
OdinDog shows signs of life today, up 8.5% since yesterday.
Meanwhile, the third (or maybe fourth, it’s hard to keep count as mentioned yesterday) version of $BITCAT drops to second place, still oddly held up by one wallet holding 53.09% of supply. That’s down from 68.3% just a day ago.
Great distribution going on there (sarcasm, just to be crystal clear.) Nuke soon? Or are we missing something?
Only tokens seeing any real action on FunkyBit right now are $FUNK and $FUNKY, based on the 24-hour volume stats in the rightmost column. Nothing else moving.
