For the week of October 20 – 26, 2025

GM Hegends. This is Day at the keyboard, coming in to you from a rainy Sunday morning here in Sweden. A perfect time to sit down and go through all that went down in Hege this week.

Jumping straight into it, the two big items we'll cover this week are 1) Hege Dash launching on the Play Solana PSG1 console from day one, and 2) the launch of the Hege DAO. Read on below the market update for a deeper dive into those!

Aside from these two main items, a bunch of other things happened this week too. Here they are in a short list for you to check out on your own:

Let's dive in!

Crypto markets stabilized this week

As always, let's start with a short look at what the markets did this week.

Big picture first: in tradfi, US stock markets had a good week. The fearful sentiment after the recent dip is waning, as both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq closed at new weekly all time highs.

The US government shutdown is still leaving the markets flying somewhat blind, as it's causing much of the usual economic data to not be released. However, on Friday the latest CPI numbers did come out, and they came out slightly lower than expected. This was welcomed by the markets, as it removed any doubts of further Fed rate cuts.

Turning to crypto, last Sunday it looked like bitcoin would close the week below $109k support. Losing this level, which has held all the way since the July breakout, would have made the chart look weaker. But as it turns out, later on Sunday evening bitcoin bounced back, and ended up closing last week right at $109k support. Holding this weekly support made the chart look a lot better than it would have otherwise.

Last week we mentioned that the bitcoin ETFs had a week of outflows after the flash crash, and that we need to see those turn into inflows again for bitcoin to turn around. And that's exactly what they did this week. A total of 4k BTC, the inflows were not large, but it shows that institutions remain positive, not turning away from crypto in fear.

The week has not closed yet, but it looks like bitcoin will comfortably close above $109k yet another week. Holding this support, in combination with strong stock markets, and ETF flows turning positive again, sets up a good base for the possibility of a renewed rally into the end of the year. Meanwhile, the conservative price target at $142k remains.

BTC/USD weekly chart, 26 October 2025. Closing the week consolidating above support at $109k. Price target still at $142k.

Hege Dash on PSG1

Markets done. Hege Dash up next!

This week we were happy to announce that our Hege Dash game is a day 1 release on the Play Solana PSG1, the first ever gaming console powered by Solana.

The PSG1 is now landing in the hands of 8,000+ early supporters, and Hege is already running wild on it. Dodge rug pulls, leap over bear traps, collect Hegecoins and prove you have what it takes to win Hegena’s heart!

Big thanks to Larva for building the game, Ollie for getting it onto PSG1, and
Chris and Elena for the fantastic artwork!

Hello, Hege DAO!

Moving on, we're finally ready to give you all in the Hege community a more direct voice in the project. From decisions shaping the future of Hege, to how treasury funds are used for marketing and community events, the Hege DAO is a first step on the road to giving more power to the community.

In simple terms, you can think of the Hege DAO as a treasury wallet that is fully owned by the Hege community. The DAO members all come together to decide how funds are spent from this wallet.

To become a member you go to the DAO website, where you deposit some $HEGE tokens to prove that you are a stakeholder in the project. You can then vote on proposals, and even create your own proposals to request funding for your idea.

Head over to the Hege Blog for detailed instructions on how to join the DAO, vote, and make proposals!

The Hege DAO, where community ideas turn into reality.

Coming up ahead

On Monday, we're holding a new Hege Hangouts. This one will be a special DAO Q&A, so if you have any questions about the DAO, come join! Hosted by Chris and Day, tune in live in Hegequarters on Monday, October 27, at 16:00 UTC.

On Tuesday it's time for more charts with Day. Tune in to TA Tuesday live in Hegequarters, on Tuesday, October 28, at 17:00 UTC.

Both Hege Hangouts and TA Tuesday will also be livestreamed on the Hege Community YouTube channel.

And with that another week comes to a close. Thanks for reading, and we'll be back again next week!

Until then,

— Team Hege
