Here is What Shiba Inu Price Might Look Like if Dogecoin Hits $1 Trillion Market Cap

Shiba Inu could eliminate a zero from its price if Dogecoin achieves a market cap of $1 trillion. 

Investors are closely monitoring Shiba Inu and Dogecoin, two of the world’s largest meme coins, and analyzing how their price movements impact each other.   

This analysis gained momentum as several analysts project that Dogecoin might become the first meme coin to reach a $1 trillion market cap. Despite being the biggest meme coin, Dogecoin’s market cap is still around $50.88 billion. It is a 1,865% rally away from achieving the $1 trillion valuation. 

Should it achieve this feat, its price will soar to $6.77 from the current $0.3447 value, assuming no changes to its circulating supply. 

How Dogecoin Surge to a $1T Market Cap Could Impact Shiba Inu 

Amid this optimistic projection, several investors are eager to know how Dogecoin’s potential surge to a $1 trillion market cap will impact the meme coin market, particularly Shiba Inu. 

Shiba Inu, which launched in 2020, has quickly elevated itself as one of the leading meme coins, with its utility extending beyond just trading to decentralized finance (DeFi). 

Several factors, such as Shiba Inu’s ecosystem developments, market sentiments, and its correlation with other assets like DOGE, have significantly influenced SHIB’s price. 

For context, Shiba Inu boasts a correlation of 83% with Dogecoin over the past 30 days, soaring to 88% in the past two months. However, Shiba Inu’s correlation with other top assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum has been low compared to Dogecoin.

This indicates that SHIB has been moving in tandem with Dogecoin’s price movement than any other crypto over the past 60 days. 

Shiba Inu Price if Dogecoin Hits $1T Market Cap 

At press time, Shiba Inu’s market cap is $12.75 billion, trading at $0.00002134. Assuming Shiba Inu experiences a proportional surge of 1,865%, like Dogecoin on its way to a $1 trillion market cap, its price will soar to $0.0004193. 

Therefore, if Dogecoin achieves a $1 trillion market cap, Shiba Inu’s price could rise to a staggering $0.0004193 per token.  

At $0.0004193, Shiba Inu’s market cap will soar to $250.53 billion if SHIB’s circulating supply of 589.25 trillion tokens remains stable. Also, investors with portfolios of 100 million SHIB, currently worth $2,134 at the current price, will see their investments surge to $41,930 if SHIB hits a target of $0.0004193. 

Similar Projections 

The $0.0004193 target aligns with several optimistic predictions top experts have issued for Shiba Inu. 

Last month, pseudonymous market observer CryptoELITES identified the formation of a bullish cup and handle pattern on Shiba Inu’s chart, forecasting a rise to $0.000472905 this cycle. 

In October, popular market analyst Cantonese Cat referenced Shiba Inu’s 2023 performance to project a potential surge to $0.00047. Cantonese Cat emphasized that Shiba Inu was the only crypto asset flashing a buy signal at the time. 

Even though Shiba Inu has demonstrated its prowess for recording substantial gains, its potential to hit the $0.0004193 target depends on several factors, ranging from market sentiment to burns. A considerable portion of Shiba Inu’s 589.25 trillion must be incinerated to hit the target quickly. 

Here’s Ripple’s Strategy for XRP as Ripple Acquires $250M+ Worth of Companies

Here’s Ripple’s Strategy for XRP as Ripple Acquires $250M+ Worth of Companies

Market commentators view Ripple’s acquisition spree, surpassing $250 million, as a strategic move to position the company and XRP at the forefront of the financial world.

Austin King, co-founder of Omni Network, who sold his company to Ripple, is among those championing this perspective. In a tweet today, he argued that Ripple’s acquisitions are part of a broader strategy to expand XRP’s role in global banking.

Ripple’s Key Acquisitions

One of the standout acquisitions is Metaco, a provider of custody services for cryptocurrencies. Notably, news of this acquisition first broke in May 2023. Meanwhile, a subsequent report by The Crypto Basic confirmed Ripple completed the takeover in early 2024.

With this acquisition, Ripple is enabling banks to offer their customers a range of crypto products, including secure storage and management of digital assets. According to King, major financial institutions like Citi, HSBC, and BNP Paribas are already leveraging Metaco’s platform.

In February 2024, Ripple also acquired Standard Custody, a company that allows banks to tokenize assets on the XRP Ledger. While Ripple publicly disclosed its $250 million acquisition of Metaco, it did not reveal the financial details for Standard Custody.

King believes this acquisition lays the groundwork for Ripple to offer tokenization services to banks. He backed this view by citing the company’s recent introduction of RLUSD, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar.

“RLUSD is just Ripple’s first tokenized asset,” King said. He believes Ripple’s next move will be to provide banks with the tools to tokenize a wide array of assets and integrate them into the blockchain ecosystem.

Additionally, King revealed that Ripple also acquired his own firm, which focuses on interoperability.

The Strategy for XRP

With this growing list of acquisitions, King argues that Ripple’s long-term goal is to turn the XRP Ledger into the global hub for tokenized assets.

Specifically, he noted that while tokenized assets may be moved across various blockchains, the XRP Ledger will remain central to this ecosystem, facilitating cross-chain interoperability.

Furthermore, King suggested that in addition to traditional transaction fees, Ripple plans to monetize tokenization by introducing new fee mechanisms with the tokenization process.

He believes these tokenization fees could be far more lucrative than transaction fees. According to the expert, the move would position XRP as a major infrastructure component for global financial markets, potentially driving its price upward.

A 100x Opportunity

Furthermore, King highlighted that Ripple’s strategic positioning will accelerate with the anticipated regulatory changes under the incoming Donald Trump administration.

Ultimately, as Ripple continues to focus on tokenization, interoperability, and bank adoption of blockchain, King believes the current moment represents a 100X opportunity for investors and participants in the XRP ecosystem. In his view, market participants adopting XRP are still early, with a promising future ahead.

Bitcoin Price Correction to as Low as $50K Possible but Bullish Long-Term Trajectory Intact: Expert

Fundstrat Head of Research Tom Lee asserts that Bitcoin could face a steeper decline but remains confident in its prospects for 2025.

After rallying to a record high of $108,000 in early December 2024, Bitcoin‘s price has remained largely muted, save for a few wild oscillations between $90,000 and $100,000, as markets adjust to changing global liquidity expectations.

Amid the uncertainty, one expert has disclosed that a further price decline may be in the cards but maintains that the asset’s bullish long-term trajectory remains intact.

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee Remains Confident in Bitcoin

Fundstrat Head of Research Tom Lee has asserted that Bitcoin could face a steeper decline but remains confident in its prospects for 2025.

The analyst disclosed this on CNBC Television on Monday, January 13, when asked about Bitcoin’s sharp decline to $91,000.

Speaking to host Andrew Sorkin, he maintained that the recent correction was normal for the asset while adding that Fundstrat expected to see a possible line of defense at the $70,000 price point or $50,000 in the worst-case based on Fibonacci retracement levels.

He further argued that all corrections presented a potential high-return opportunity, as he still expected Bitcoin to be among the best performers of 2025. 

At the same time, when asked if people should buy now or wait for the potential correction, he asserted that $90,000 remains a good entry as long as the outlook was long-term.

“Bitcoin could be significantly higher this year, maybe $200K or $250K. So I think $90K is still a good entry,” he asserted, alluding to Fundstrat’s 2025 Bitcoin price prediction.

Inflation Not a Big Deal?

In recent weeks, one of the main market concerns has been inflation and how its effect on the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut schedule could impact crypto assets.

Unlike some analysts, Tom Lee argues that inflation is not yet a big deal, though he stresses that recent natural disasters like the wildfire in Los Angeles were likely to muddle the data. He further contended that the Federal Reserve’s decision to spread rate cuts into the coming years could actually be positive, offering markets years of runway.

In the short term, he noted that a slightly lower month-on-month (MoM) CPI inflation print and strong earnings would likely boost risk markets.

In the hours following Lee’s appearance on CNBC, the market has notably rebounded, with Bitcoin now trading around $96,400.

Bitcoin V-Shaped Reversal Sets Sights on $99,514 Level

Bitcoin V-Shaped Reversal Sets Sights on $99,514 Level

Will Bitcoin reclaim the $100k mark as demand at lower levels propels BTC price to challenge the $95,119 resistance level?

With Bitcoin’s price making a bullish comeback overnight, the crypto market has reclaimed its $3.3 trillion valuation. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at a market price of $96,830 with a 24-hour surge of 5.73%. 

With the overnight recovery, market analysts anticipate a bullish recovery in the coming week. Will this recovery create a new swing high above the $100,000 mark? 

BTC Price Analysis

On the 4-hour chart, the BTC price action reveals a quick reversal from the $90,742 support level. Notably, the BTC price avoided a bearish closing under this support and took a V-shaped reversal. 

Currently, it is challenging the long-standing resistance level above $95K. Furthermore, the 4-hour candle reveals a higher price rejection from the merged 100 and 200 EMA lines. 

Bitcoin Price Chart
Bitcoin Price Chart

Nevertheless, the four consecutive bullish candles making the V-shaped recovery account for an over 6% surge. The 4-hour RSI line also reflects a minor bullish divergence with the past two bottom formations. 

While BTC dropped from $91,800 to $91,700, the 4-hour RSI line took a double-bottom reversal from the oversold boundary level. This hints at a potential breakout rally for Bitcoin.

In case of a strong closing above the $95,119 resistance level, the BTC price will likely challenge the immediate resistance of $99,514. Interestingly, this is gradually materializing as Bitcoin now trades above $96K.

Meanwhile, a bearish reversal will prolong the consolidation, with the primary support remaining at $90,742. 

Bitcoin ETFs Start the Week With Outflows

Despite the impressive bullish escape last night, institutional investments in Bitcoin remained red. The total daily net flow to U.S.-spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday was negative $284.19 million. 

The only positive Bitcoin ETF inflow yesterday was BlackRock, with a fresh investment of $29.46 million. Fidelity recorded the largest outflow on January 13, with $113.64 million. 

ARK and 21Shares recorded $92.36 million in outflow. Grayscale’s GBTC recorded $89.01 million in outflow, while Bitwise saw an $18.64 million drain. 

Meanwhile, Hashdex, Wisdomtree, Franklin, Invesco, Valkyrie, VanEck, and Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust remained with daily net zero outflows.

Bitcoin Derivatives and Liquidations Support Bullish Narrative

With Bitcoin sustaining above the $95,000 level, the open interest remains at $60.41 billion. Despite the 0.26% decline in OI over the past 24 hours, the funding rate in Bitcoin has reached 0.0103%. 

This marks a significant recovery from a drop to 0.0074% during the pullback phase. However, the long-to-short ratios reflect a significant bearish influence, which remains at 0.967%. 

Bitcoin Derivatives
Bitcoin Derivatives

Over the past 24 hours, liquidations amounted to $151.42 million. Long positions recorded $99.46 million in losses, while short liquidations totaled $51.96 million.

On the other hand, the 12-hour liquidations tell a different story, with $24.83 million in liquidations, of which $23.56 million were from the bearish side. This discrepancy in liquidation patterns reflects increased price volatility.

Overall, the recent trend suggests an increased likelihood of a bullish continuation, as the short-term liquidations reveal a weakening of the bearish side.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Now Trading on Canadian Stock Exchange

BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited has officially launched the iShares Bitcoin ETF, further expanding crypto investment options in Canada.

The ETF trades under the tickers IBIT and IBIT.U on Cboe Canada, the country’s tier-one stock exchange. Notably, it offers a regulated avenue for investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin via traditional brokerage accounts.

Investment Strategy of the Bitcoin ETF

The iShares Bitcoin ETF is designed to mirror Bitcoin’s price movements, excluding operational costs and liabilities. To achieve this, the fund allocates most of its assets to the U.S.-based iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (U.S. IBIT), which maintains a portfolio primarily consisting of long-term Bitcoin holdings. 

By integrating with established financial systems, the ETF eliminates the technical challenges of managing Bitcoin directly. This makes it an appealing choice for investors seeking secure and streamlined access to the digital currency.

Cboe’s Legacy of Pioneering Crypto ETFs

In their press release, Rob Marrocco, the Global Head of ETF Listings at Cboe, emphasized the platform’s commitment to innovation by facilitating the launch of BlackRock Canada’s IBIT ETF.

Marrocco highlighted Cboe’s track record of introducing groundbreaking products, including spot crypto ETFs in the United States. He also noted the growing demand for cryptocurrency investments through regulated, exchange-listed options. 

According to him, Cboe plans to address this demand by leveraging its global listing capabilities and expertise in derivatives to expand market access and support the development of the broader crypto ecosystem. He also underscored Cboe’s collaboration with BlackRock, expressing optimism about fostering the success of the IBIT ETF on a global scale through Cboe’s expansive listings network.

Rising Demand for Bitcoin ETFs

The launch aligns with a notable increase in Bitcoin ETF inflows in the U.S. market. As of early January 2025, net inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs reached 17,567 BTC, valued at approximately $1.7 billion.

This activity surpassed the weekly average inflows recorded in the final quarter of 2024. Last year marked a pivotal moment for the ETF sector, with total net inflows across all ETFs reaching a record $1.14 trillion. 

Specifically, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF demonstrated remarkable growth in its debut year, accumulating $37.25 billion in assets. This performance positioned it as the third-largest ETF in the 2024 leadership board. Specifically, it trails only the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) and iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV).

Tron Price Analysis: Can TRX Reclaim $0.28 Soon?

Will the price of Tron (TRX) maintain bullish dominance at $0.22 and trigger a reversal-led channel breakout rally this week?

Amid increased volatility in the crypto market, the bearish influence on the Tron price trend is gradually intensifying. Despite holding the 10th rank in the crypto market with a market cap of $19.25 billion, the risk of further decline is growing.

However, shifting trends in the broader crypto market and Bitcoin price support the potential for a bullish reversal. Could this result in a morning star reversal for Tron?

Tron Price Analysis

Over the past seven days, the Tron price trend has seen six consecutive bearish candles, with a minor recovery on January 10. During this time, TRX’s price dropped nearly 16% from $0.2688 to the recent support level of $0.2231.

Tron Price Chart
Tron Price Chart

Meanwhile, the declining trend in TRX’s price created a falling candle pattern. Currently, the retracement tests the 100 EMA line. Notably, Tron is trading at $0.2251, with an intraday recovery of 2%.

As Tron forms a doji candle, the minor recovery in the crypto market increases the chances of a potential morning star pattern. However, the daily RSI line is now closer to the oversold boundary line due to the prevailing bearish trend.

Additionally, the 20- and 50-day EMA lines hint at a bearish crossover, as technical indicators maintain bearish cards for Tron.

As Bitcoin resurfaces above the $96K mark, the crypto market anticipates a bullish comeback among altcoins.

TRX Price Targets

Considering the Fibonacci level, a potential reversal in Tron will likely challenge the 23.6% Fibonacci level at $0.2826. If a recovery rally surpasses the local resistance trend line, this could push the price to $0.3272, corresponding to the 38.20% Fibonacci level.

However, a bearish continuation could fracture the local support trend line, testing the 200-day EMA at $0.1934 and threatening the $0.20 psychological mark.

TikTok Says Selling the Platform to “DOGE Father” Elon Musk is “Pure Fiction”

TikTok Says Selling the Platform to “DOGE Father” Elon Musk is “Pure Fiction”

Beijing representatives have debunked rumors that it is considering selling the video-sharing platform TikTok to ‘Doge Father’ Elon Musk amid regulatory hurdles.

In a statement reported by the BBC, Chinese government officials insisted that they do not plan to hand over control of TikTok US to continue operations. The representative specifically branded the widespread rumor a “pure fiction.”

TikTok Not Pursuing Contingency Plans

For context, earlier, on Monday, Bloomberg reported that representatives of Beijing-based TikTok are evaluating the options required to keep the video-sharing platform running in the United States. One option, according to the report, is selling the widely used social media platform to Elon Musk.

Musk—fondly called DogeFather because of his soft spot for the meme coin alpha Dogecoin—emerged as an option, owing to his affluence and social media flair, as seen in his X (formerly Twitter) purchase in April 2022.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government maintains that it does not plan to relinquish control of ByteDance’s US TikTok subsidiary to continue operations. However, it awaits a Supreme Court ruling on January 19 on whether it will uphold an earlier mandate for ByteDance to either sell off the platform or face a ban in the United States.

Trump Wants to “Save” TikTok

The Bloomberg report alleged that the Chinese government considered Musk an option due to his bromance with incoming US President Donald Trump. The Tesla founder was pivotal in Trump’s reelection, sparking a massive upside for Dogecoin in November.

A part of the disclosed proposal to Musk would entail running TikTok alongside ByteDance. The officials seek to entice the Tesla CEO, who openly kicked against the TikTok ban, with metrics that the video-sharing platform’s over 170 million users will boost X’s population stats and attract more advertisements.

Meanwhile, Musk’s right-hand man, Trump, has teased the idea of truncating the TikTok ban. The pro-Bitcoin president mentioned he wants to save the platform, with reports stating he has made efforts to delay the Supreme Court’s January 19 decision till he assumes office.

Shiba Inu Targets 40% Upside as Bulls Defend $0.00002

Will Shiba Inu (SHIB) prices bounce back for a breakout rally as the crypto market narrowly escapes an intense correction?

With Bitcoin bouncing back after briefly dipping below the $90,000 mark, the crypto market is on a recovery run. Bitcoin has now reached the $95,000 mark, while meme coins like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are showing signs of a potential reversal.

Over the past 24 hours, the price of Shiba Inu has seen a modest increase of 4%. However, the meme coin continues to maintain dominance above the psychological $0.000020 mark, with a market capitalization of $12.56 billion. As the recovery continues, Shiba Inu’s price analysis suggests a potential breakout rally.

Shiba Inu Price Analysis

On the daily chart, Shiba Inu’s price trend demonstrates bullish momentum, remaining above the 38.20% Fibonacci level at $0.00002085. Notably, Shiba Inu is currently trading at $0.00002146.

Shiba Inu Price Chart
Shiba Inu Price Chart

However, the price trend also shows signs of a potential head and shoulders pattern, with the 38.20% Fibonacci level acting as the neckline. A close below this critical support level would signal a significant correction for the second-largest meme coin in the market.

Meanwhile, closer inspection of the 4-hour chart shows that SHIB’s price trend reveals a local resistance trendline, limiting bullish growth. Additionally, the $0.000020 psychological level facilitated a V-shaped reversal.

Shiba Inu Price Chart
Shiba Inu Price Chart

Furthermore, the 4-hour RSI line reflects a bullish divergence between the last two lower formations. Hence, the chances of a recovery run in the short-term time frame are significantly higher. 

Shiba Inu Funding Rate Turns Positive, Suggesting Renewed Bullish Interest

With the overnight recovery, Shiba Inu’s Open Interest has witnessed a 16.57% increase to $389.04 million.

Furthermore, the 24-hour liquidations amounting to $1.33 million, with $1 million in long position liquidations, result in a long-to-short ratio of 0.8783, indicating a strong bearish influence.

Shiba Inu Derivatives
Shiba Inu Derivatives

However, the funding rate has recently turned positive after a dip to negative 0.0073%. Currently, the funding rate stands at 0.0083%, reflecting a renewed interest of traders to hold long positions in Shiba Inu.

SHIB Price Targets

Using the Fibonacci levels on the 4-hour chart, the recovery run is likely to challenge the local resistance trendline. The trendline is close to the 23.60% Fibonacci level at $0.00002195. 

In case of a breakout rally, the short-term price target remains at $0.000024 and $0.00002980. This hints at a 12.50% to 40% upside potential. On the flip side, the crucial support levels are $0.000020 and $0.00001858. 

Here’s How High Bitcoin Must Rise to Turn 0.1 BTC into $1M

Here’s How High Bitcoin Must Rise to Turn 0.1 BTC into $1M

An investor who acquires 0.1 BTC for $9,500 at the current market price could become a millionaire if Bitcoin hits eight figures.

Bitcoin has outgrown its early days when prices were in a few dollars and has matured into a global store of value. Spurred by bullish macroeconomics, the pioneering cryptocurrency recently reached a six-figure valuation, hitting a new all-time high of $108,000.

Meanwhile, some believe holding 0.1 BTC can still produce a staggering 10,426% growth to $1 million despite its historic gains. This theory suggests that the asset still has more room for growth. Here’s how high Bitcoin needs to reach to attain this valuation and why analysts think it is possible.

Turning 0.1 BTC to $1M

Bitcoin currently hovers around $95,000 at press time, recovering from a downside that saw it drop under $90,000. Currently, 0.1 BTC is worth $9,500.

Notably, for 0.1 Bitcoin to reach a $1 million valuation, the crypto firstborn needs to hit $10,000,000 per coin. Although the valuation seems ambitious, Bitcoin’s historical trajectory and future outlook suggest it is theoretically possible.

Meanwhile, there are predictions that Bitcoin will surge to $10 million per coin. For context, Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, predicted that Bitcoin would hit $10 million in the near future, according to a Forbes report.

Maximalist Michael Saylor believes Bitcoin will have more upsides after $10 million, predicting a surge to $13 million by 2045. The evangelist thinks Bitcoin will capture 7% of the global wealth in the next 20 years, culminating in the ambitious target.

Growing Adoption to Drive Bitcoin’s $10M Prediction

If Bitcoin is to hit $10 million per coin, adoption would play an integral part in the lofty surge. Using basic economics, a growing demand and a fixed supply result in a price uptick.

Notably, Bitcoin’s supply is limited, hence its “digital gold” tag. The pioneering cryptocurrency has a total supply cap of 21 million, and 19.8 million are already in circulation.

As a result, mainstream adoption will significantly impact its price, making the $10 million prediction feasible. Meanwhile, the asset has already started coming to the limelight with growing global adoption.

For context, states and corporate firms in the United States are vigorously craving exposure to Bitcoin amid the growing momentum of adoption at the national level. On the state level, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Florida, Texas, and Alabama are contemplating proposals to adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

The FOMO from MicroStrategy’s incessant acquisition has reached other corporate entities, who are now buying into Bitcoin. For instance, Rumble, Matador, Kurl Technologies, and Thumzup have all created a strategic Bitcoin reserve, buying millions worth of the premier asset.

With the incessant purchases and the growing adoption even among nations, Bitcoin to $10 million could come in sooner than expected.

As Tether Relocates to El Salvador, President Bukele Invites YouTube Rival Rumble to Move HQ

As Tether Relocates to El Salvador, President Bukele Invites YouTube Rival Rumble to Move HQ

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has invited Rumble to relocate its headquarters to the country as Tether has moved to set up its corporate base there.

Bukele’s suggestion came shortly after Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski hinted at new platform initiatives with Tether CEO Paolo. President Bukele used the opportunity to publicly invite Rumble to move its headquarters to El Salvador like Tether. 

Crypto Firms Heading to El Salvador?

Accordingly, Bukele’s suggestion drew widespread attention. Some commentators speculated that El Salvador could become a hub for crypto companies and tech innovators.

For instance, one observer suggested that everyone in the crypto industry should consider relocating their headquarters to El Salvador, referencing the growing trend of companies moving to the country. 

However, another commenter questioned whether this relocation would prompt any changes to digital asset strategies or if the focus would remain exclusively on Bitcoin.

Tether Setting Up HQ in El Salvador

These discussions come on the heels of Tether’s announcing relocating its corporate headquarters to El Salvador. According to Paolo Ardoino, this decision follows Tether’s successful acquisition of a license to operate as a digital asset service provider in the country.

As part of this transition, Ardoino and Tether’s senior leadership team, including its co-founders, plan to move their residences to El Salvador. 

While the headquarters relocation represents a major organizational change, Ardoino stated that Tether’s global workforce of over 100 employees would not all relocate to El Salvador. Many team members will continue to work remotely.

However, the company intends to bolster its local presence by hiring approximately 100 Salvadoran employees over the next several years.

In the announcement, Ardoino described El Salvador as a beacon of freedom and innovation. He commended the country’s leadership under President Bukele for fostering a supportive environment for crypto initiatives.

Rumble Partners with El Salvador

Notably, Rumble, a video-sharing platform rivaling YouTube, announced a new partnership with the Salvadoran government earlier this month.

Under this agreement, Rumble will provide a suite of cloud services, including storage solutions, computing power, database management, and Kubernetes integration. 

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski highlighted the importance of this partnership. Specifically, he noted that Rumble’s technology offers the reliability and scalability needed for critical government operations.

Stacy Herbert, Director of the National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador, echoed similar sentiments. He described the collaboration as a natural alignment of values between the government and Rumble. This agreement further strengthens El Salvador’s push for technological innovation and independence.
