Citadel Securities provides liquidity for major financial institutions. Crucially, though, Citadel doesn’t deal with crypto.
Or it didn’t until now.
In the wake of Donald Trump’s major shake-up of the crypto regulatory scheme, Citadel – who already controls $63B in assets – is reportedly ready to make the jump to becoming a crypto liquidity provider.
Why now? Bitcoin is down 7% in the past week, and the broader crypto market dropped well below $3T to $2.92T market cap. That seems like poor timing.
But Citadel’s a leading hedge fund for a reason; it looks at the big picture.
And the big picture shows:
- US President Trump installing pro-crypto Mark Uyeda at the SEC
- Setting up a Crypto Task Force
- Backing Senator Lummis’s push for a Bitcoin reserve
Those are all moves poised to supercharge crypto growth and adoption – exactly what Citadel’s betting on.
Citadel focuses on servicing major financial institutions; they’re already involved in the institution-only crypto exchange EDX Markets.
Average investors can follow Citadel’s lead with these three new crypto projects poised for big growth. Will one of them go 100x?
1. BTC Bull ($BTCBULL) – Earn $BTC with $BTCBULL for Double Growth Potential
BTC Bull is the rare Bitcoin-focused Ethereum memecoin. The $BTCBULL token resides on Ethereum, but token holders earn rewards in $BTC each time Bitcoin breaks through key growth levels.
BTC Bull aims to capitalize on the fact that BTC is among the best-performing assets in history, with an average annual return (AAR) of 230%.
Each time $BTC hits certain high prices, BTCBULL will be there to act.
Rewarding $BTC to $BTCBULL holders ties the Ethereum-based memecoin to the power of Bitcoin’s phenomenal gains. And the regular token burns incentivize $BTCBULL’s own token price growth.
Holders can also stake $BTCBULL on Ethereum, receiving rewards over the next two years.
That gives $BTCBULL holders three ways to earn – potential $BTCBULL price gains, $BTC rewards if you bought via Best Wallet, and $BTCBULL staking.
Investors are already flocking to the project, with $2.8M raised in the ongoing presale. Token price is currently $0.002385.

2. B3 ($B3) – Base-Built Gaming Ecosystem
The B3 team highlights an ongoing problem with Web3 gaming; too many games are spread across too many blockchains.
B3 wants to unify blockchain gaming, creating interlinked ‘gamechains’ that share a common framework. Gamers on B3 would be able to share liquidity and even game revenue, creating incentives for more players, while developers capitalize on the low costs of building on Base.
Base itself is a Layer-2 solution powered by Coinbase, and B3 uses it as a settlement layer, making B3 a Layer-3 solution (and handily explaining the name!).
Gamers can use the $B3 token to gain early access to games on BSMNT, B3’s gaming network. They can also stake B3 for exposure to more gamechains.
Developers can apply for funding in the form of $B3 to develop new games, and can receive referral rewards in $B3 from new and existing games.
There’s even the potential for $B3 airdrops as the ecosystem grows.
$B3 is up 30% since its early-February launch.
3. Meme Index ($MEMEX) – Track Market Performance with Risk-Oriented Memecoin Indexes
Even by crypto’s standards, the meme coin market is incredibly volatile; just in the past 24 hours, the market cap is up slightly while the volume is down 40%, making predicting winners and losers incredibly difficult.
Indexes make the process slightly easier by gathering tokens into a single basket and tracking them as a unit. Indexes are a proven tool; CoinMarketCap tracks the Top 100 cryptos in its CMC100 Index.
But Meme Index ($MEMEX) ups the game, creating four meme coin indexes based on risk profile.
- Meme Titan tracks the biggest memecoins by market cap in an effort to reduce risk
- Meme Moonshot follows slightly smaller memecoins, while Meme Midcap adds even more volatility.
- Meme Frenzy goes all-out, chasing low-cap memecoins with the potential for crazy gains and losses.
The $MEMEX token allows investors to allocate their holdings into different indexes, customizing their risk profile depending on their investment strategy. And $MEMEX holders also gain governance rights, allowing them to vote on the exact tokens represented in each index.
That makes Meme Index a memecoin itself, but also a powerful financial tool for navigating the complex and ever-changing world of new meme coins.
To see $MEMEX for yourself, follow the presale, which has already raised over $3.8M. You can also find out more about how to buy Meme Index here.
Citadel Defies Current Crypto Headwinds
As a major financial player, Citadel shows just how positive the current outlook is for crypto in 2025 and beyond. Remember, Citadel isn’t interested in making short-term moves – they’re the most profitable hedge fund ever, with some of its largest funds producing $56.8B in gains from 2021-2025.
Do your own research on the projects above before making any investments, but Citadel’s move shows that the outlook is bright. And these three new cryptos could be among the next big movers.
