Crypto Markets Steady, Solana Drops 14% After Memecoin Debacle
Simon Peters, Crypto Analyst, eToro Crypto markets have remained steady with no significant movement, as the total market capitalization holds around the $3.08 trillion mark. According to Simon Peters, Crypto Analyst at eToro, Bitcoin continues to hold firm, trading between $95,000 and $98,000, while most altcoins are also experiencing minimal fluctuations in a relatively quiet market. Solana emerged as the worst performer among top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization last week, dropping 14% and falling below its recent $170 support level. This decline was driven by factors such as upcoming SOL token unlocks and the fallout from the failed LIBRA memecoin launch. However, Simon Peters noted that with Solana’s current price still 85% below its all- time high of $295, some investors might see this as a ‘buy the dip’ opportunity for future growth. Looking ahead, the market is anticipating U.S. inflation data, with the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report set to release on Friday. A lower-than-expected reading could provide a short-term lift to crypto prices, while a higher figure could weigh on sentiment. Today, HederaCon 2025 is taking place in Denver, Colorado. As Hedera's first major user conference since 2018, any significant announcements from the event could trigger volatility in HBAR prices. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s ‘Pectra’ upgrade is scheduled to go live on the Holesky testnet later today. Despite Ethereum’s lagging price performance in recent months, renewed investor confidence tied to this network upgrade may spark movement in the native crypto asset.

Despite major names missing from the official calendar and some key celebrities swept away to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, New York Fashion Week defied expectations, growing 39% year-over-year and generating $59.6 million in Earned Media Value (EMV), according to Lefty. At the heart of the buzz was Calvin Klein, where Veronica Leoni’s much-anticipated debut cemented the brand as the week’s undisputed leader.
In an era where digital presence is almost as vital as the clothes themselves, how did brands refine their social strategies to captivate audiences? And which names left an indelible mark? While some brands fueled social media moments through viral silhouettes, others looked beyond design and tapped into popular culture via casting or content strategy. Anna Delvey and her ankle monitor transformed runway appearances into real-life memes. Meanwhile, Collina Strada, which saw an 873% year-on-year increase in EMV, extended its show’s impact through a savvy post-show social strategy, featuring its models competing in the game show spinoff, ‘The Chicest Link’.  Savills latest research, which highlights Dubai’s position as the top-performing global city for prime residential growth in 2025. According to the newly released Savills Prime Residential World Cities Index, Dubai is forecast to see capital value growth of up to 9.9% in 2025, the highest among the 30 global cities tracked.
Key findings from the report include:
Andrew Cummings, Head of Residential Agency at Savills Middle East, is available for interviews to discuss the findings and what’s driving Dubai’s dominance in the luxury real estate sector. OMNIYAT Bespoke is A New Global Real Estate Category Empowering UHNWIs to Craft One-of-One Creations Tailored to Their Aspirations  OMNIYAT, Dubai's visionary lifestyle brand for UHNWI’s, is crafting a niche segment in the global ultra-luxury market with the launch of a new concept: OMNIYAT Bespoke. This exclusive category is poised to redefine luxury living on a global scale by allowing owners to define their own criteria and infuse their unique aspirations into every facet of their lifestyle.
With one-of-one creations shaped alongside the world’s finest talent in design and craftsmanship, the launch of the concept also marks the reveal of the latest addition to the OMNIYAT Bespoke real estate collection – the breathtaking Luna Sky Palace at ORLA, Dorchester Collection, Dubai. Spanning 58,476 square feet, this is one of the largest and rarest properties of its kind anywhere in the world. The concept’s origins began with a vision to redefine market dynamics through groundbreaking projects, spearheaded by OMNIYAT's inaugural Bespoke creation crowning One at Palm Jumeirah, Dorchester Collection, Dubai. This architectural marvel, created in collaboration with its owners and renowned designers, exemplified the ideal of bespoke living, and became the most valuable residence of its kind in Dubai in 2017. With each Bespoke creation unveiled since, OMNIYAT fostered an ethos of unparalleled refinement, culminating in the Sky Palace at AVA at Palm Jumeirah, Dorchester Collection, Dubai – the crown jewel of their collection which would become the most expensive ever on Palm Jumeirah upon its sale. These milestones not only surpassed previous benchmarks, but also obliterated sales records, each setting a new height of excellence. In doing so, OMNIYAT marked a paradigm shift in the conception of ultra-luxury real estate, giving rise to OMNIYAT Bespoke as a new division, and a testament to the company's unwavering commitment to elevating lifestyles above conventional norms. With the triumph of existing Bespoke properties already brought to life for their owners, the portfolio is poised to expand with the unveiling of more extraordinary creations to come, strategically nestled in the most coveted locations. Among them, the rarest Sky Palaces and a one-of-one mansion will enter the market, starting with the launch of Luna Sky Palace at ORLA, Dorchester Collection Dubai. The 58,476-square-foot ‘palace in the sky’—Luna Sky Palace—redefines the essence of luxurious living. This expansive residence spans three magnificent levels, crowned by a 13,500-square-foot sky garden rooftop featuring a breathtaking 36-meter infinity pool. Luna Sky Palace is graced with private lobby lounges at both the ground and basement levels, setting an exclusive tone from the moment of arrival. Tailored for an owner who values both privacy and luxury, the palace offers an array of bespoke features, from a private office for personal assistants to an exclusive wellness spa complete with a fitness suite, salon, treatment rooms, steam and sauna spaces, and serene relaxation areas. Additionally, a private garage accommodating up to 10 cars ensures that every element of the owner’s lifestyle is meticulously considered. The Luna Sky Palace at ORLA, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, represents yet another jewel in the crown of OMNIYAT Bespoke, which reigns as the height of luxury and premium living in the region, a portfolio never before seen globally. Mahdi Amjad, Founder & Executive Chairman at OMNIYAT, commented: "OMNIYAT Bespoke is about bringing dreams to life—offering rare, one-of-one creations that embody the deepest aspirations of our clients. We aspire to inspire, empowering individuals to shape surroundings that not only reflect their vision but elevate their lifestyle to something extraordinary. It’s about crafting a legacy of moments, emotions, and experiences that resonate deeply and uniquely with each person—a true expression of luxury that goes beyond any single creation, becoming an enduring part of their lives." Dubai is witnessing a new era of exceptional and unique experiences emerging within its ultra-luxury market, as the emirate continues to experience rising economic growth and reasserts its position as a global destination. This major transformation has led to the demand for personal and ultra-rare lifestyles, which OMNIYAT is committed to lead — building on its legacy of ultra-luxury real estate excellence – with OMNIYAT Bespoke.
