A new study reveals the most volatile cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin ranking as the riskiest of the market leaders.

The research by online crypto casino Bombastic analyzed price data for the largest 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap. It ranked each based on the volatility between its highest and lowest USD price over the last 12 months from January 2024.

The most volatile cryptocurrencies

Bitcoin (BTC) is the most volatile after its price skyrocketed from $20,195 in March 2023 to $46,936 in Jan 2024. It has the highest growth in dollar value compared to any other cryptocurrency over the last 12 months.

Maker (MKR) had the second greatest fluctuations in value this year. From June 2023 to January 2024, its price went from a low of $616 to a high of $2,144, a 248% increase in seven months.

Ethereum (ETH), in third, has experienced some of the most dramatic price changes in the last year. Its price has skyrocketed by over $1,000 in the last 12 months, from $1,429 on March 2023 to $2,618 on January 2024.

Bitcoin’s altcoin, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), has the fourth most unpredictable prices in the last year. From June 2023 to July 2024, it tripled from a low of $101 to $306.

BNB (BNB), previously Binance Coin, ranks fifth among the most volatile coins. Its price went from a year-high of $347.9 in April 2023 to a low of $205 in September, plummeting by $142.9 in just four months; the most lost in USD value of the top 100 coins.

Solana (SOL) had the sixth-largest price swings over the last year, with its value flying from just $14.5 in June 2023 to $121 in December 2023, a rapid 736% change in six months.

ORDI (ORDI) is seventh among the wildest price jumps in the past year. Its value experienced the greatest percentage change of the top ten, skyrocketing 27-fold from $3 in September 2023 to $83 in January 2023. ORDI took the shortest time between its lowest and highest yearly valuation of the top ten.

Bitcoin SV (BSV) showed the eighth most unpredictable shifts in the market. It more than quadrupled from $24.3 to $104 between June 2023 and January 2024.

Quant (QNT) had the ninth most dramatic ups and downs. Its value dropped from $155.9 to $84 between January and October 2023, experiencing the second-greatest dollar loss of $71.9, behind BNB.

Aave (AAVE) ranks tenth among the most unpredictable crypto coins. Its value doubled from $50 to $118.9 between June and December 2023.

A spokesperson from Bombastic commented on the findings: “Now, with years of historical data, these findings offer crypto traders an insight into the riskiest coins to invest in. Data shows that Bitcoin experienced the biggest changes in price, over $25,000 more than the next coin”.

Blockchain’s metamorphosis from niche ledger technology to the backbone of Web3 has never been more evident. Today, we cover five stories that illustrate the evolving ecosystem: a gaming platform issuing its own token on Solana; Europe’s marquee Web3 summit; a major bank forecasting a “ChatGPT moment” for blockchain; a Southeast Asian conference aimed at busting crypto myths; and a foundation rebuilding blockchain from the ground up to solve scalability. Each development—whether product launch, industry gathering, macro forecast, educational initiative, or infrastructure innovation—offers a window into the trends shaping decentralized finance, NFTs, DeFi, and beyond.


1. BitNile.com to Launch Nile Coin on Solana

News Summary
Hyperscale Data’s subsidiary BitNile.com will introduce the Nile Coin on Solana starting May 1, 2025. The U.S.–based social gaming site chose Solana for its high throughput and low fees, aiming to enhance in-game economies, reward engagement, and deliver seamless micro-transactions. Details on tokenomics and governance are forthcoming, but management touts Nile Coin as a cornerstone of future gaming experiences.

Analysis & Commentary
Launching a proprietary token underscores two converging trends: the gamification of finance and finance-ification of gaming. By minting Nile Coin, BitNile.com taps into DeFi mechanics—staking, liquidity pools, NFT rewards—while leveraging Solana’s scalability. Strategically, BitNile.com positions itself for partnerships with NFT marketplaces and DeFi protocols, potentially opening secondary markets for in-game assets and generating new revenue streams beyond ad sales or subscription fees.

2. Dutch Blockchain Week 2025 Gears Up in Amsterdam

News Summary
From May 19–25, Amsterdam will host the sixth annual Dutch Blockchain Week, culminating in the two-day summit (May 21–22) at De Meervaart. Tier 1 exchanges (Bitvavo, Kraken, Coinbase), Web3 pioneers (WOW.ai, Blockrise), regulators (European Commission, De Nederlandsche Bank), and industry partners (Mastercard, Deloitte) will convene. Side events range from AI-powered hackathons tackling compliance to padel networking meetups—underscoring the event’s blend of technology, policy, and community.

Analysis & Commentary
Dutch Blockchain Week typifies the maturation of blockchain conferences into multidisciplinary forums. Beyond token talk and yield farming, panels on regulation, institutional adoption, and security reflect Web3’s integration into mainstream finance. Anticipate announcements on CBDC pilots, DeFi compliance frameworks, and cross-chain interoperability projects that may emerge from the Block & Order Hackathon.


3. Citigroup Predicts Blockchain’s “ChatGPT Moment”

News Summary
In an April 23 report, Citigroup analysts argue that 2025 could be blockchain’s “ChatGPT moment,” driven by regulatory clarity around stablecoins and integration with traditional financial systems. They forecast stablecoin market capitalization ballooning to $1.6 trillion (base case) or as much as $3.7 trillion (bull case) by 2030—anchored by dollar-denominated issuers and collateralized with U.S. Treasuries. Regulatory frameworks like the GENIUS Act could catalyze adoption among banks and fintechs.

Analysis & Commentary
Drawing parallels to generative AI’s explosive growth, Citigroup envisions a tipping point where blockchain moves from experimental to essential infrastructure.  Successful integration will hinge on robust compliance tools, auditability, and clear governance models. Enterprise blockchain vendors should prepare for surging demand in tokenized payments, on-chain settlements, and embedded DeFi rails within legacy systems.


4. Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 Debunks Crypto Myths

News Summary
Scheduled for June 10–11 at SMX Convention Center Manila, Philippine Blockchain Week (PBW) 2025 will tackle misinformation and spotlight real-world use cases. Highlights include “Crypto, Unpacked” sessions demystifying the technology; “Smart Regulation” panels uniting policymakers and innovators; and “Blockchain for Impact” showcases on remittances, disaster relief, and digital identity. Founding President Donald Lim emphasizes government support and public–private collaboration to spur inclusive growth.

Analysis & Commentary
PBW exemplifies how emerging markets leverage education to accelerate Web3 adoption responsibly. By engaging regulators early, PBW can shape balanced frameworks that encourage innovation while protecting consumers—an instructive model for markets wrestling with both hype and skepticism.


5. D.O.G.E Foundation Launches New Blockchain, Opens Seed Round

News Summary
The D.O.G.E Foundation announced a ground-up blockchain rebuild designed to solve the scalability and reliability challenges plaguing existing networks. This modular architecture separates validation from execution to enable parallel transaction processing—targeting real-time gaming, DeFi under high load, and AI-driven applications. A seed funding round is now open to investors who share the vision of a performant, decentralized infrastructure.

Analysis & Commentary
As layer-1 congestion and high gas fees persist, new entrants must justify a “why now” with clear architectural advantages. If the D.O.G.E blockchain delivers real-world throughput and maintains decentralization, it could spur a renaissance of high-performance DeFi protocols and NFT platforms hungry for cost-effective base layers.


Conclusion & Key Takeaways

  1. Tokenization of Entertainment: BitNile’s Nile Coin on Solana highlights blockchain’s expansion into gaming economies and NFT reward systems.

  2. Convergence of Tech, Policy & Community: Dutch Blockchain Week showcases Web3’s evolution into an ecosystem engaging regulators, enterprises, and developers under one roof.

  4. Education as Catalyst: Philippine Blockchain Week’s myth-busting curriculum underscores the importance of public–private dialogue in emerging markets.

  5. Infrastructure Innovation: The D.O.G.E Foundation’s modular, high-throughput chain exemplifies the next wave of layer-1 networks addressing real-time, real-world use cases.

Today’s stories convey that blockchain’s next chapter will be written through strategic token launches, global convenings, regulatory clarity, educational outreach, and radical infrastructure redesign. By tracking these threads, industry participants can anticipate opportunities in DeFi, NFTs, Web3 games, and enterprise integration. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s Blocks & Headlines, where we’ll continue to decode the innovations shaping decentralized finance.
