Meanwhile, Bitcoin has rebounded above $80,000 with analysts offering mixed forecasts, ranging from bullish targets of $93,000-$97,000 in the near term to more optimistic predictions of $100,000 by Thanksgiving, though some analysts warn of potential downside risks. Other developments include Solflare issuing a security alert for SOL stakers and USDC overtaking USDT in the European market.
