AUDC Deploys AUDD Stablecoin on Hedera, Expanding Multi-Chain Footprint

Bitcoin briefly slid to $98,974 late on Sunday after US airstrikes targeted 
Iranian nuclear facilities. That was its weakest point since early May. But by 
Monday morning in Asia, the leading cryptocurrency topped $101,000 again. 
Traders are weighing whether this was just a hiccup or the start of a fresh 
trend. Related Reading: Stablecoin Wars Ignite: Peter Schiff Champions Gold-

Weakness According to Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, the fall is only a 
short pause. On X, he wrote that “weakness shall pass” and predicted Bitcoin 
will “leave no doubt as to its safe haven status.” He said fresh money 
printing by central banks will be the main force driving prices back up. His 
view suggests that big dips can turn into buying chances when broader 
liquidity is rising. Do you hear that? … it’s the sound of the money printers 
revving up to do their patriotic duty. This weakness shall pass and $BTC will 
leave no doubt as to its safe haven status. pic.twitter.com/PTfZaAXFp7 —

Based on reports, it was US strikes on Iran that triggered the initial slide. 
The price drop happened late Sunday, pushing Bitcoin below six figures for the 
first time since early May. Yet buyers stepped in quickly, snapping up coins 
and lifting the price back above $101,000 during the first hours of trading in 
Asia. That pattern shows how headline shocks can spark fast moves, but also 
how quickly sentiment can flip. Altcoins Take A Hit Meanwhile, over the past 
12 hours, most altcoins fell about 1.4%, dragging total crypto market cap down 
by roughly $50 billion to $3.20 trillion, according to data. Experts expect 
that trend to reverse once major headlines calm down. Market analysts pointed 
out that altcoins might start to outperform if macro risks ease. They said 
smaller tokens are already showing signs of strength, even as Bitcoin stalls. 
Key Technical Levels Hold Traders are watching two key lines: the short-term 
realized price at $98,000 and the trend support at $102,000. The realized 
price reflects the average breakeven point for holders, so it often acts like 
a floor. Related Reading: Pump.fun’s Big Launch Put On Ice Over Legal Drama 
The $102,000 has capped rallies over the past weeks. As long as Bitcoin stays 
in that $98,000–$102,000 range, there are chances for quick rallies. But a 
break below $98,000 could force more focus on cutting losses. Featured image
