on

Mechanical recycling using shredding and grinding to recover glass, aluminum, and silicon currently dominates, but advanced methods like laser, chemical, and thermal recycling are gaining ground due to their higher efficiency and purity of material recovery. A recent breakthrough in automation enables up to 99.3% material recovery using just 1 kWh of energy per panel. Significant investments are following these innovations, including the construction of a $344 million facility with a 5 GW processing capacity. Regulatory push in North America and Europe is further accelerating funding in infrastructure and R&D.

Pune, Maharashtra, India, 18th Jun 2025 – The Solar Panel Recycling market reached a valuation of USD 173.4 million in 2023, with projections indicating growth to USD 471.2 million by 2030. This market is anticipated to exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1% from 2025 to 2030. The primary focus of the Global Solar Panel Recycling Market is the recovery and recycling of materials from decommissioned solar panels, a response to the increasing volumes of solar waste as global installations continue to escalate.

As per analysis published by Mark & Spark Solutions estimates that, global discarded solar panel mass rose from 300,000 tons in 2020 and is estimated to reach nearly 1 million tons in 2025 a fourfold increase. By 2030, the IEA projects around 8 million tons of retired panels globally, with a tenfold jump to 78 million tons by 2050. Overall recycling cost of solar panel has fallen from USD 45 to USD 30 and this trend is estimated to fall in the coming years.

Key factors driving this market’s expansion include the rapid growth of solar energy adoption, stringent environmental regulations, and rising costs of raw materials. These elements collectively underscore the demand for efficient recycling solutions. The presence of valuable materials in solar panels, such as silicon, silver, and aluminum, significantly contributes to the economic feasibility of recycling efforts. As the industry evolves, the importance of sustainable practices in managing solar waste becomes ever more critical.

Initiatives such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in regions like Europe and Australia are significantly transforming the solar panel recycling landscape. Through EPR frameworks, manufacturers are legally required to manage the entire lifecycle of their products, which includes end-of-life collection, treatment, and recycling. This regulatory approach effectively shifts the responsibility for waste management from governments and consumers to producers, fostering eco-design, reuse, and enhanced recyclability. As import tariffs and rising upstream costs increase the value of solar panels, EPR programs allow recyclers to achieve higher margins from materials recovered, such as aluminum, copper, silver, and glass.

In the European Union, photovoltaic (PV) panels fall under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, which enforces structured collection systems and transparent recycling methods. Australia is also implementing national solar stewardship schemes that align with EPR principles to ensure the responsible disposal of aging solar installations. These policies contribute to reducing dependency on landfills and promote the development of a circular economy around solar technology. With the expected rise in solar waste by 2030, EPR-backed frameworks are preparing recyclers to scale their operations profitably while meeting sustainability and regulatory compliance goals.

Bitcoin Tops $112,000 as Dormant Whales Resurface; $150,000 Target Seen Viable by Year End

Published

9 hours ago

on

July 11, 2025

By

Bitcoin surged to an all-time high above $112,000 this week, buoyed by a wave of reawakened whale wallets and increasing institutional flows. The renewed on-chain activity is reviving bullish sentiment, and some forecasts suggest BTC could hit $150,000 by year-end.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency climbed more than 18% since the start of 2025, pushing its market capitalization to $2.21 trillion. As of mid-July, BTC was trading near $111,100 amid elevated daily volumes of approximately $59.4 billion.

A series of high-value transactions by dormant holders has added fuel to the current rally. On-chain data reveals that a long-inactive wallet moved 17,283 BTC valued at roughly $1.88 billion within a single 24-hour window.

Last week, two Satoshi-era wallets transferred a combined 20,000 BTC for the first time in 14 years, stoking market speculation over long-term holder behavior. 

Further inflows came from the Royal Government of Bhutan, which sent over 350 BTC (around $38.5 million) to Binance in the past 10 days. The transactions highlight the growing involvement of sovereign entities in Bitcoin’s capital flows and may suggest strategic liquidity operations or asset diversification.

Technical Picture Signals More Upside: The Road to $150,000

Despite the sharp price appreciation, technical indicators suggest the rally still has legs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 63.62, a level that indicates strength without crossing into overbought territory. The MACD has printed a bullish crossover at 172.51, typically viewed as a buy signal, while the 10-day simple moving average remains above the 100-day—a classic indication of short-term momentum.

Still, some caution is warranted in the near term. The stochastic oscillator has risen to 86.46, a reading often associated with interim consolidation. Analysts flag resistance levels at $117,498 and $127,279 as potential inflection points. Failure to breach these levels decisively could trigger profit-taking.

Sentiment among institutional investors continues to improve, helped by accommodative macro conditions, steady ETF inflows, and concerns over traditional fiat debasement. Analysts at cryptona.co see $150,000 as a realistic price target for Bitcoin in the coming months provided that $117K is broken with volume support.

Key tailwinds include expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, further sovereign adoption, and rising demand for digital assets in inflation-hedging portfolios.

Bottom Line

Bitcoin’s breakout above $112,000 reflects both deepening institutional engagement and a pivotal shift in long-term holder behavior. While short-term corrections remain likely, technical and fundamental structures align toward further appreciation. The $150,000 target may no longer be speculative, as it’s increasingly becoming the market’s base case.

In 2025, SocialFi and InfoFi have evolved rapidly, with projects like Kaito AI and Cookie DAO showcasing new models for decentralized content and community engagement. But in an age of AI-generated information, content validation and authenticity ratings are becoming inevitable. The reputation of creators – and the credibility of what they share – will be the most valuable assets in marketing.

This is why WOM’s timing is critical. While the protocol may have been ahead of the curve between 2020 and 2024, the team has demonstrated persistence, continuous improvement and has refined its unique content authentication model into a solution that can now be universally implemented across any type of content.

Since launch, WOM has surpassed 300,000 validated content pieces across platforms like the BULLZ app and the WOM Authenticator app and processes up to 200,000 daily transactions. These first applications will migrate their activity to the new WOM Layer 1 blockchain once Mainnet launches.

A $1 Million Grant Program and Strategic Growth Initiatives

To fuel ecosystem growth, WOM is introducing a grant pool worth up to $1 million in WOM Tokens over the next two years, supporting SocialFi builders, new platform integrations and community-led initiatives. This token unlock and a planned strategic token sale will help fund further development, onboard more projects and drive awareness through dedicated marketing and trading campaigns.

A High-Performance Blockchain Purpose-Built for SocialFi

The new WOM EVM Layer 1 blockchain is designed to meet the demands of decentralized applications, offering:

  • Up to 10,000 transactions per second
  • Transaction fees as low as $0.001
  • Full EVM compatibility
  • Smart contract automation to streamline rewards, validation, and governance

This combination enables a seamless experience for microtransactions, creator incentives and dynamic community engagement.

The Foundation for Authentic, Decentralized Communities

With the Testnet live, WOM will expand integrations, launch new SocialFi use cases and prepare for Mainnet launch in 2026.

In a landscape where SocialFi and InfoFi require dedicated infrastructure, WOM Protocol provides a high-performance home where communities can transact, collaborate and grow together. As the ecosystem evolves, WOM stands ready to be the foundation for authentic, decentralized economies built on trust and transparency.
