XRP is under renewed pressure as the broader market downturn drags its profitability metrics back to levels last seen during Donald Trump’s November 2024 re-election. Glassnode data shows that only 58.5% of XRP’s circulating supply is now in profit. That is the weakest reading since late November 2024, when the token hovered around $0.53. Even at today’s price of roughly $2.15, about 41.5% of all...
Bitcoin is quietly walking its way down the liquidity staircase, and the next solid step sits around $85,000. That number is not coming from a Fibonacci retracement, a moving average crossover, or any other technical analysis ‘gold standard.’ It comes from my simple grid of horizontal bands, grounded in factors that actually move markets: order-book depth, leverage positioning, psychological...
For more than a decade, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has, for one reason or another, stood apart from the rest of the blockchain industry. Built in 2012, long before the rise of modern DeFi, it embraced a minimalist design of fast settlement, deterministic consensus, and no economic incentives for validators. That architecture helped XRPL grow into a trusted payments network, but it also left it...
Yesterday’s outage showed how dependent the modern web is on a handful of core infrastructure providers. In fact, it’s so dependent that a single configuration error made large parts of the internet totally unreachable for several hours. Many of us work in crypto because we understand the dangers of centralization in finance, but the events of yesterday were a clear reminder that centralization...
The Bitcoin market is undergoing a significant transition, with traders aggressively positioning for a year-end close beneath the $90,000 threshold. This comes as the flagship digital asset briefly slid to a seven-month low of $89,970 on Nov. 18 before recovering to $91,526 as of press time. As a result, crypto traders’ sentiment has significantly shifted amid a convergence of structural capital...
US-traded spot Bitcoin ETFs hemorrhaged $2.57 billion in net outflows through Nov. 17, the funds’ worst monthly drawdown since their January 2024 launch. In the same month, Bitcoin dropped 14.7% and briefly touched $89,253.78 on Nov. 17, its lowest level since April, before recovering to $93,426.16, up 1.3% in 24 hours. The outflow wave crested on Nov. 13, when $866.7 million exited the funds in...
Mt. Gox-linked Bitcoin (BTC) wallets moved roughly 10,600 BTC on Nov. 17, breaking an eight-month silence that had lulled traders into forgetting the estate still controlled nearly $3 billion in legacy coins. The transaction routed about 10,608 BTC to a new, unlabeled address, with the remainder returning to a known Mt. Gox wallet. Timing turned the routine shuffle into a headline: Bitcoin had...
Strategy bought 8,178 BTC for $835.6 million as Bitcoin (BTC) tumbled through $90,000, locking in a $102,171 average that now sits underwater. Harvard Management Co. reported 6.8 million IBIT shares worth $442.9 million in its September 30 13F filing, triple its prior quarter and the endowment’s largest reported US listed equity holding by value. Both moves landed as funding rates dipped into...
For years, quantum computing has served as cryptocurrency’s favorite doomsday scenario, a distant but existential threat that periodically resurfaces whenever a lab announces a qubit milestone. The narrative follows a predictable arc where researchers achieve some incremental breakthrough, social media erupts with “Bitcoin is dead” predictions, and the news cycle moves on. But Adam Back’s...
Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) pulled in $56 million in volume on its launch day, while Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF (XRPC) posted $58 million, the highest two volumes for any ETF launched in 2025. Yet, SOL traded near $205 one day before the ETF launch and slumped to $165 within a week, a 20% drop during what K33’s Vetle Lunde called “a clear success” in terms of flows. As of press time,...
