Logan Paul has officially been dismissed from the class action lawsuit involving the cryptocurrency project CryptoZoo. A federal judge in Texas ruled in his favor, ending all claims against the social media star and part-time boxer.
The lawsuit accused Paul of misleading investors and causing financial losses through the failed NFT-based game, which was marketed as a way to earn money by buying and hatching “egg NFTs” that revealed collectible animals.
On Wednesday, Judge Alan Albright of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, signed off on Paul’s motion to dismiss all counts.
“It is further ordered that Defendant Logan Paul’s Motion to Dismiss is hereby granted as to all counts and all 27 of Plaintiffs’ claims be dismissed,” the judge wrote.
CryptoZoo was presented to the public as a play-to-earn NFT game, but investors encountered multiple issues shortly after its launch. Concerns about mismanagement led to the federal class action being filed.
Paul responded by promising to make restitution to affected users, including implementing a buyback program to refund players impacted by the failed project.
Today, I am incredibly happy to announce that I am delivering on my promise to buy back Base Egg and Base Animal CryptoZoo NFTs for their original purchase price. This buy-back program is being carried out at https://t.co/XIQzLAGKiG. Claims can be submitted through this site… pic.twitter.com/VMPDHvdXkq

In the midst of the legal proceedings, Paul shared an update on social media, posting, “case dismissed,” signaling relief and marking the resolution of a drawn-out legal battle.

Paul also filed his own lawsuit against former business partners Eduardo Ibanez and Jake Greenbaum. He alleged they had misrepresented their experience and intentions, describing them as “con artists” who caused him to fail in the CryptoZoo venture. Paul emphasized that he personally did not profit from the project due to their alleged misconduct.
A magistrate judge had previously noted that plaintiffs failed to show a direct connection between Paul and their losses. Judge Albright’s final ruling now formally removes him from the case, clearing all allegations.

One of these coins is on much firmer footing. Here's why.
When two blockchains chase the same pool of capital, the one that solves bigger problems for pickier (and richer) customers usually wins. The next few years look like a test of that dynamic, with XRP (XRP 1.84%) and TRON (TRX +0.26%) vying for victory. Both move dollars quickly, but by 2030, I predict that XRP will be worth far more than TRON.
Here's why.

Today, XRP's market cap of $156.5 billion is far larger than TRON's market cap of $27.8 billion. By 2030, that gap is going to widen by a lot, in XRP's favor.
The coin's long-running legal battles are now over. In May, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a settlement framework with Ripple, the company that issues XRP. That lowers the risk for financial institutions considering exposure to the XRP ecosystem — and they're the chain's target market.
On the product side, Ripple's dollar stablecoin RLUSD is live and designed for institutional comfort, with issuance on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) so that holders can take advantage of the chain's strong suite of regulatory compliance tooling intended for use by banks and other institutions. That matters because big money moves onto stablecoins first before parking value in other assets. Having large native stablecoin rails makes on-chain finance a lot simpler to operate and a lot easier to get started with.
Ripple is also acting like a financial infrastructure business. Its recent Hidden Road acquisition includes a multi-asset prime brokerage footprint and institutional distribution, reinforcing the pitch that XRP, RLUSD, and capital markets tooling interlock gracefully to form a financial platform that many wealthy users will be eager to adopt.
Now that we're up to speed on a few of XRP's strengths, let's see why TRON will lag further behind.
TRON is currently the dominant stablecoin settlement chain, with $78.7 billion in stablecoin value, much of which is USDT.
Forensic reports have tied most illicit crypto transfer volumes to stablecoins specifically on TRON's network. That's exactly the kind of narrative that keeps traditional institutions and investors cautious and sidelined. It could actually threaten USDT itself, which, if compromised, would devastate TRON. Furthermore, signals from major U.S. players have not helped. Circle Internet Group ended its stablecoin support on TRON in early 2024 under its risk framework, underscoring that not all stablecoin issuers view every chain as equally suitable.
Given the backdrop of being a single-purpose chain that's consistently threatened by what its clientele decides to use its platform for, TRON's future is far less certain than XRP's. It could still manage to add on new features (though it hasn't showed much momentum on that front), so it could still continue to grow.
But, in comparison to XRP's strong product-market fit and rapid onboarding of new customers in its target market, its odds of catching up to the bigger coin's value are practically zero. It's far more likely to lag behind even more.

Despite a roaring start and fresh all-time high early on in October, the expected "Uptober" turned into a real downer for Bitcoin, with the leading cryptocurrency sinking to levels untouched for four months. 
Bitcoin's price recently stood at $109,820 per coin, according to CoinGecko, about 13% below its October 6 record of $126,080. Over a 30-day period, the asset is down by more than 8%.
October is historically one of Bitcoin's strongest months—thus the "Uptober" moniker—with data from CoinGlass showing just one monthly loss over the previous 10 years, back in 2018. This October broke a six-year streak of gains, showing a 3.69% drop from the start of the month to the end.
The plunge during a historically strong month for Bitcoin came amid unsettling macroeconomic conditions, including most recently, concerns about liquidity and the diminishing prospects of a third interest rate cut that investors have been eagerly anticipating. 
On Wednesday, U.S. central bank Chair Jerome Powell said that a reduction was "not a foregone conclusion," sending digital assets into a tailspin that dropped the largest cryptocurrency by market value below $106,000 at one point. 
Earlier in the month, BTC and other risk-on assets had tumbled after U.S. President Donald Trump re-escalated his trade war with China, raising concerns about the global economy. Investors liquidated more than $19 billion in positions, nearly 90% of them long positions expecting price increases. 
"The negative October returns can be attributed to a convergence of three primary factors: a powerful macroeconomic shock, fragile internal market structure, and a subsequent lukewarm monetary policy signal," Bitwise Senior Investment Strategist Juan Leon told Decrypt, adding that October 11's crash had a long-term effect on the market. 
In her Crypto is Macro Now newsletter on Friday, analyst Noelle Acheson wrote that "the reset of rate cut expectations" had continued "to weigh on crypto prices."
"As Chair Powell acknowledged in his statement, liquidity conditions have been tightening," Acheson wrote. "They're not yet near crisis levels as a percentage of bank reserves, but BTC is one of the more sensitive assets to liquidity conditions."
She added: "Equities have earnings and other factors impacting their appeal, and bonds have fiscal and economic growth. BTC doesn't, it's pure sentiment, which in the short-term is affected by monetary liquidity and in the long-term by the supply/demand balance."
Earlier in the week, in a Telegram exchange with Decrypt, she also noted increased selling by long-term holders, possibly tied to the belief that Bitcoin had reached a peak in its latest four-year cycle—the timeframe that has defined crypto market rhythms. 
“If you still believe in the BTC four-year cycle (and many old-timers probably do), then we're at the peak if you map previous cycle patterns," she wrote.
Bitcoin, crypto, and stocks have typically performed well in a low-interest rate environment. The Fed has cut rates at its last two meetings.
Bitcoin climbed nearly 11% last October, and almost 29% in October 2023. Back in 2021, it jumped a whopping 40% that month. On average, the digital coin has given investors average returns of nearly 20%, according to CoinGlass.
"That makes this feel like one of the weakest 'Uptober' performances in years, not the result of a single broad selloff, but largely driven by selling during U.S. hours," pseudonymous CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn told Decrypt. They noted other factors including China tariffs and economic readings, including unemployment data and the consumer price and producer price indexes, which moved in less favorable directions in recent months. 
Still, some analysts are feeling optimistic. Grayscale's Head of Research Zach Pandl told Decrypt that the long list of crypto exchange-traded funds the SEC is expected to approve could help the market, and that the regulatory environment remains favorable for digital assets. 
"With bipartisan market structure legislation back on track and several altcoin exchange-traded products set to launch, we expect that the crypto market setback will be short-lived," he said.
Will it be "Moonvember" for Bitcoin, then? Last year, the 11th month brought a whopping 37% price spike for BTC—something investors would no doubt be thankful to see again.

Student-led movement continues to demand political change as embattled president issues rare apology
Tens of thousands of Serbians have gathered to commemorate victims of a fatal railway station collapse a year ago, a tragedy that galvanised anti-government sentiment that still threatens the embattled president, Aleksandar Vučić.
A student-led movement organised the rallies in the country’s second largest city, Novi Sad, where on 1 November 2024, the canopy at the newly renovated railway station collapsed.
Saturday’s commemorative rally started at 11:52am, the exact time when the roof fell, with 16 minutes of silence observed for the 16 people who died. People placed flowers and candles along temporary fencing near the damaged station entrance, as thousands more packed into the square.
The disaster inspired Serbia’s largest youth-led movement since the fall of Slobodan Milošević, a hardline leader who died in 2006 of a heart attack while he was being tried on 66 counts of crimes against humanity, including genocide.
Protesters had initially demanded a transparent investigation into the disaster, but their calls soon escalated into criticism of corruption and nepotism, as well as calls for early parliamentary elections, which are due in 2027.
Many arrived to Novi Sad by bus or car, but in a gesture of continued protest, others marched from Novi Pazar, about 340km (211 miles) south of the capital. It took them a symbolic 16 days to finish the march.
The people of Novi Sad took to the streets to greet the marchers, blowing whistles and waving flags. “I came to bow to the strongest force in the world right now – our students, our youth,” said one Novi Sad resident, Ratko Popovic.
The protests have yielded results, including the resignation in January of the former prime minister Miloš Vučević.
Vučić has remained defiant and branded demonstrators as western-backed “terrorists”. However, Saturday’s gathering may have shaken him. In a televised public address on Friday, the president made a rare apology for his harsh rhetoric.
“I have said some things that I am now sorry for saying,” Vučić said in a TV address that called for dialogue. “All that hatred boiling in our society cannot bring any good. It can only lead to further destruction.”
The government has declared Saturday a day of national mourning.
Serbia is seeking to join the EU, but Vučić’s crackdown, as well as his close relations with Russia and China, have spooked Brussels.
The EU’s commissioner for enlargement, Marta Kos, said on X that the canopy tragedy “is changing Serbia”.
“It moved masses to stand for accountability, free expression and inclusive democracy,” Kos said. “They are the same values to lead Serbia into the EU.”
The anti-government protests have remained largely peaceful, although in August, they turned violent with allegations of police brutality and excessive use of force.
In September, 13 people, including the former construction minister Goran Vesić were charged in a criminal case over the disaster. A separate anti-corruption inquiry continues alongside an EU-backed investigation into the possible misuse of EU funds in the project.

The 2025 crypto market is changing fast. Investors are no longer chasing hype alone; they’re looking for projects that merge real-world functionality with sustainable profit models. Early-stage tokens that combine trading power, AI, payments, and global inclusion are capturing the spotlight. These new ecosystems are being recognized not just as speculative bets but as the foundation of blockchain’s next major wave.
Among the best crypto coins to buy and best crypto presales 2025, five names lead the charge: BlockchainFX ($BFX), NexChain ($NEX), SpacePay ($SPAY), AiCell ($AIC), and Plasma ($PLSM). Each introduces innovation backed by tangible technology and growing investor traction, signaling a maturing, utility-focused market.
BlockchainFX ($BFX) is not just another presale; it’s an entirely new category of trading platform. Designed as a crypto-native financial super-app, it allows users to trade crypto, forex, stocks, ETFs, and commodities all within one ecosystem. For years, traders have struggled with fragmentation, switching between multiple exchanges, wallets, and brokers. BlockchainFX eliminates that friction, giving users a single, streamlined environment where traditional and digital markets finally coexist.

The platform has already raised over $10.5 million from more than 16,200 global investors, closing in on its $11 million soft cap. The current presale price is $0.029, rising to $0.05 at launch, a 72% pre-listing boost. This strong performance, combined with an audited live beta already dubbed “the Best New Crypto Trading App of 2025,” shows that BlockchainFX is building a future where seamless multi-asset trading becomes the industry standard.
BlockchainFX’s core strength lies in its ability to merge accessibility with profit-sharing. The platform redistributes up to 70% of trading fees daily in BFX and USDT, transforming each trade into a potential income stream. Traders can access over 500 global assets without leaving the app, while holders earn passive yield from ecosystem activity.
This model is a breakthrough in the Web3 space, balancing active and passive earning potential without complexity. With an experienced team boasting 25+ years in fintech and trading, BlockchainFX has secured its place among the best crypto coins to buy for both professionals and everyday investors.
At the current presale price of $0.029, a $5,000 investment secures around 172,413 BFX tokens. Using the CANDY40 Halloween code, investors receive 40% additional tokens, bringing the total to 241,378 BFX. If BFX reaches its projected $1 post-launch target, that $5,000 stake could rise to $241,378, a staggering 4,727% ROI.
The CANDY40 bonus, active until November 3 at 6 PM UTC, is one of the largest limited-time offers of 2025. Missing this window means losing a rare early-stage advantage. Buyers who spend $100 or more also qualify for the $500,000 Gleam giveaway, featuring multiple BFX prize pools. This mix of strong fundamentals and high-value incentives cements BlockchainFX as the leader among the best crypto presales 2025.
NexChain ($NEX) tackles one of blockchain’s biggest limitations, the lack of seamless interoperability. Using AI-based routing algorithms, NexChain connects multiple blockchains without bridges, wrapped tokens, or risky third-party protocols. Its validator network dynamically finds the most efficient route for liquidity and data movement, ensuring ultra-fast, cost-effective cross-chain transactions.
The NEX token is the heart of this infrastructure, powering governance, staking, and network security. With integrations underway across DeFi and enterprise ecosystems, NexChain is emerging as one of the best crypto coins to buy for investors seeking exposure to blockchain’s core infrastructure layer, the invisible technology linking all Web3 ecosystems.
SpacePay ($SPAY) is redefining crypto’s usability by transforming it into a real-world payment solution. The platform enables instant, contactless transactions where users can pay merchants directly in crypto while retailers receive fiat instantly through on-chain conversion. Its compatibility with e-commerce and physical payment gateways makes it a bridge between blockchain and everyday consumer finance.
With digital payments exceeding $200 trillion annually, SpacePay’s potential market is enormous. Strategic fintech partnerships already position it for mainstream rollout. As adoption expands, SPAY could become one of the best crypto coins to buy for those betting on Web3’s mass retail integration in 2025 and beyond.
AiCell ($AIC) represents the frontier of AI-meets-blockchain innovation. Its platform hosts self-learning models that evolve through on-chain data feeds, creating adaptive intelligence for financial predictions, gaming, and decentralized analytics. Unlike traditional AI, AiCell’s models are fully decentralized, ensuring transparency, scalability, and user ownership of generated insights.
The project’s roadmap includes partnerships with major data oracles and AI labs, positioning it as one of the most forward-thinking platforms of the year. For investors chasing innovation-driven returns, AiCell stands among the best crypto presales 2025, combining AI’s predictive power with blockchain’s security and openness.
Plasma ($PLSM) is bringing financial inclusion to the blockchain era. The platform enables zero-fee USD₮ transfers, allowing fast and borderless transactions between users anywhere in the world. Its architecture is lightweight and mobile-friendly, designed for communities where traditional banking systems are either inaccessible or too expensive.
With institutional partnerships already exploring its stablecoin infrastructure, Plasma’s model has major long-term potential. It combines humanitarian value with practical scalability, giving it strong investor appeal. For those seeking purpose-driven investments, Plasma represents one of the best crypto coins to buy for real-world impact and stability.
All five projects deliver innovation in their niches,  but BlockchainFX dominates the conversation because it merges real functionality, strong presale performance, and proven utility. It’s not a concept; it’s a working system with live users, audited smart contracts, and verified security.
By combining multi-market trading, passive income, and cross-asset utility, BlockchainFX achieves what most presales only promise. Analysts are calling it the “gateway between blockchain and global finance,” and early investors see it as one of the most credible paths to exponential growth in 2025.

The upcoming market cycle is shaping around utility, not hype. BlockchainFX leads with unified trading power, NexChain powers AI-driven interoperability, SpacePay drives global payments, AiCell pioneers adaptive intelligence, and Plasma redefines low-cost international transfers.
Together, they form a portfolio of practical innovation and financial opportunity. For investors evaluating the best crypto coins to buy before 2025’s bull run, these five projects represent the perfect balance between early entry, utility, and massive upside potential, with BlockchainFX clearly setting the pace.
