The Bitcoin price predictions remain bullish as BTC trades above $117,000, with analysts eyeing a surge toward $135,000 this August. The BTC momentum is spilling into the altcoin market, where select tokens like Chainlink (LINK) and Layer Brett ($LBRETT) are showing explosive potential. Chainlink has broken past $26 with substantial volume, highlighting renewed demand across DeFi. Meanwhile, Layer Brett ($LBRETT), a new Ethereum Layer-2 memecoin with staking rewards and community power, is emerging as one of the best altcoins to buy now before prices accelerate. Bitcoin price prediction: Institutional confidence signals new highs Bitcoin is experiencing a recovery phase, having hit a recent high of $124,474, and is currently trading at $117,899. The recent Bitcoin price trend is fueled by institutional adoption, as BlackRock has accumulated 749,000 BTC in its iShares Bitcoin Trust. Meanwhile, the U.S. government has accumulated $24 billion worth of Bitcoin in its reserves through confiscated property, which further lends credibility and stability to the market. The growing institutional and government interest in Bitcoin boosts BTC's bullish outlook. Experts forecast a Bitcoin price prediction of $135,000 in the near term and $150,000 in 2026. Chainlink price performance shows a strong uptrend Chainlink (LINK) is trading at $26.05, marking a sharp 19.08% daily gain and a monthly rally of 47%. Over the past year, LINK has surged nearly 158%, reflecting sustained investor confidence and rising adoption. The recent rally is fueled by Chainlink's accelerating integration across DeFi, CeFi, and even traditional finance. By delivering real-time pricing data tied to the U.S. financial markets, Chainlink strengthens DeFi asset reliability and cements its role as the leading oracle network. With momentum on its side, Chainlink's price performance suggests potential upside toward the $30 mark if buying pressure continues, with the support around $22 crucial for sustaining this bullish trend. Layer Brett is the next 100x altcoin for the crypto bull run in 2025 Layer Brett ($LBRETT) is positioning itself as the next big crypto by fusing meme culture with real blockchain innovation. Unlike typical meme tokens that rely purely on hype, Layer Brett is built as a full Ethereum Layer 2, delivering lightning-fast transactions, ultra-low gas fees, and scalable performance. Currently in presale, $LBRETT offers early backers a rare chance to lock in at a low price point while also gaining access to unlocking massive staking rewards. With projected APYs exceeding 20,000% for early stakers, it's no surprise that many investors are calling it one of the best low-cap crypto gems to watch. What sets Layer Brett apart is its dual appeal: the explosive, community-driven energy of meme coins, combined with the high-performance backbone of a Layer-2 solution—holders enjoy both the culture and fun of a top meme coin and the utility of a scalable blockchain protocol. Here are reasons why Layer Brett ($LBRETT) is now a major topic in crypto circles: Built on Ethereum Layer-2 for speed. Massive staking rewards up to 20,000% APY. Fully decentralized with no KYC required. A $1 million community giveaway is ongoing. As excitement builds for the 2025 crypto bull run, projects like Layer Brett stand out as the best cryptos to invest in for those seeking projects with long-term gain potential and real utility. Layer Brett presale: The ground-floor opportunity everyone wants Layer Brett's presale is live at just $0.0044, giving early buyers a rare ground-floor entry. With explosive staking rewards, Layer-2 speed, and meme-powered momentum, $LBRETT is tipped to outperform Bitcoin and Chainlink.

FASTag Annual Pass Update: 200 highway trips for just INR 3,000: Everything you want to know about the yearly pass
FASTag is one of the best things that has been introduced for travellers. It is one thing that has solved a lot of issues, including toll booth traffic and making life easier for highway travellers. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), to make highways more affordable and convenient, launched an annual pass on 15 August 2025. The FASTag Annual Pass is a prepaid facility allowing private vehicle owners to take 200 toll-free trips across national highways and expressways for a fee of INR 3,000. The pass is valid for one year or 200 trips, whichever comes first. Let's have a look at some of the prime factors of FASTag Annual Pass: Eligibility The annual pass is only for private, non-commercial vehicles like cars, jeeps, and vans. Commercial vehicles such as taxis, buses, trucks can't use this. The pass is connected directly to the FASTag account and vehicle registration number (VRN) of the user. So it is also non-transferable. What happens if it is misused If a tag is found misused or linked only with a chassis number, it will be deactivated immediately. It is crucial to note that the pass applies only on NHAI and MoRTH-managed toll plazas. State highways, private toll roads, and parking facilities will continue to charge tolls through the standard pay-per-use FASTag system. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Passive Income Ideas Sitting at Home Mone Click Here Undo How to buy and activate (Rajmarg Yatra app) Log in to the Rajmarg Yatra app or visit the NHAI official website. Choose the annual pass option Confirm vehicle details Pay INR 3,000 through UPI, debit/credit cards, or net banking Note: Wallet balances are not accepted If the vehicle's FASTag is already active and linked to a registration number, it's a quick activation. In most cases, the pass activates within two hours. It can take up to 24 hours in rare situations. Once active, users receive a confirmation SMS. Understanding 200 trips concept Every crossing at a toll plaza is counted as one trip. So, for open toll systems, every time you pass through a plaza, one trip is deducted. On closed toll roads such as certain expressways, the entire journey—from entry to exit—is treated as a single trip. The pass remains valid until either 200 trips are used or one year has passed. After that, the FASTag automatically switches back to the regular mode. How is it a money saver deal So understand this: Your one-way toll on national highways might cost between INR 70 to INR 100. In one year, you might end up paying INR 10,000–15,000 on tolls. But with the annual pass, the effective cost per crossing comes down to just INR 15– INR 20. For those who frequently commute between cities—say, from Mumbai to Surat, Delhi to Jaipur, or Bengaluru to Hyderabad—the savings can add up to INR 7,000 or more per year. This is absolutely the thing passengers wanted. With the introduction of the FASTag Annual Pass, the government aims to make highway travel smoother, cashless, and more affordable for millions of private vehicle owners.

Renewable energy sector to transform Rajasthan: Experts at BS Samriddhi
Two factors make Rajasthan the country's solar capital: favourable solar conditions and vast land availability, said Sunil Bansal, President of the Rajasthan Solar Association, at Business Standard's Rajasthan Samriddhi 2025 event in Jaipur on Wednesday. Speaking at a panel discussion moderated by Business Standard's Agriculture Editor Sanjeeb Mukherjee on 'Energy: The Surging Renewables Sector', Bansal said the state is already generating 32 gigawatts of solar power, unmatched by any other state. However, he noted Rajasthan has been unable to fully leverage the opportunity for wider public benefit. 'While Surat already has 50 manufacturing plants, Rajasthan is trailing with only two. Manufacturing creates jobs, and the state will benefit only if large-scale facilities are set up,' he said. Manufacturing remains a drawback Explaining why Rajasthan lags in manufacturing, Rahul Gupta, Founder, MD, and CEO of Rays Power Experts Ltd, said the state is already generating 32 gigawatts of solar power, and no other state compares. However, the state has been unable to fully utilise the opportunity and extend benefits to the common people, he said. While Gujarat's Surat already has 50 manufacturing plants, Rajasthan is trailing with only two, Bansal said, adding that manufacturing is ultimately responsible for providing employment. The state will be able to benefit only if large-scale manufacturing facilities are created. 'Rajasthan to become one of lowest-cost power states' Explaining why manufacturing continues to be a drawback for Rajasthan, Rahul Gupta, Founder, MD, and CEO of Rays Power Experts Ltd, said that the state, in 2017, introduced an open access mechanism, which allowed industries to produce their own power in the state. However, Gujarat had already implemented the same mechanism in 2012–2013. Gujarat was able to bring power prices under control because of the open access mechanism and generated power on its own, he said. Even though solar manufacturing has been limited in Rajasthan, upcoming technologies such as battery storage are expected to expand significantly in the state. According to Gupta, within three years, Rajasthan will become one of the lowest-cost power states in the country, which will, in turn, bring manufacturing back to the state. Renewable sector to change Rajasthan: Nitin Agarwal Speaking on India's total renewable energy target for 2030, Nitin Agarwal, CEO of the Rajasthan Solar Association, said that while the country's total energy target is 500 gigawatts, Rajasthan's share is 125 gigawatts. He added that the sector will play a decisive role in transforming the state. Rajasthan attracts investments in renewable energy Business Standard previously reported that the state is riding the crest of the renewable energy wave as investment plans in solar and wind power have increased significantly. Rajasthan topped the fresh investment table with a total investment of ₹2,69,391.46 crore across 419 new projects. The state, one of the top producers of cement and crude oil, is now on investors' radar in renewable energy, according to a Projects Today survey. The dominance of solar and wind power projects in Q1 was clearly visible in Rajasthan, accounting for around 86.4 per cent of the state's total fresh investment. Business Standard launches Jaipur editions Business Standard on Wednesday rolled out its Hindi and English editions from Jaipur, formally stepping into the Pink City's media space. With this launch, the English daily now publishes 14 editions, while the Hindi version has grown to seven editions. Until now, Business Standard Hindi was published from six locations — New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Lucknow, Bhopal, and Chandigarh. Jaipur has now joined the list as the seventh publishing hub.
