Ripple Set to Unveil Expanded XRP Markets Report as Institutional Demand Soars – What’s Coming Next?

May 6, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Ripple is set to retire its current quarterly XRP Markets report format after Q2 2025, introducing new versions that will offer deeper insights into XRP’s growing institutional usage. This shift comes as Ripple recognizes the increasing demand from institutional investors, prompting a need for more detailed market data. The decision follows Ripple’s admission in its Q1 2025 report that the current format hasn’t had the intended impact, with the company’s transparency often being used against it, particularly by former SEC leadership. As institutional interest in XRP continues to rise, the revamped reports will include enhanced perspectives to better reflect the evolving market dynamics.

The Q1 2025 report also highlighted XRP’s impressive performance, with the token surging nearly 50% in February, outpacing Bitcoin and Ethereum amid market turbulence. XRP’s relative strength was underscored by a 10% rise in its ratio against BTC. Institutional interest was evident, with \$37.7 million in net inflows into XRP-based investment products, bringing the year-to-date total to \$214 million. This surge in interest also mirrored strong spot market activity, with average daily volumes around \$3.2 billion, and a sharp spike in price volatility during the quarter. Despite some slowdown in on-chain activity, XRP’s decentralized finance sector showed resilience, particularly through RLUSD, which surpassed a \$90 million market cap.

Crypto on the Edge: Pi Network, XRP, and Sui Set to Shake the Market This Week

April 27, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Cryptocurrency prices saw a significant rally last week, with Bitcoin breaking the $95,000 mark for the first time in over a month. This surge, alongside Solana meme coins reaching a $10 billion market cap, set the stage for key cryptos like Pi Network, XRP, and Sui to dominate the spotlight this week.

Sui, a leading layer-1 blockchain, saw its price surge to $3.80, driven by a rise in meme coin activity and a 60% increase in weekly DEX volume. However, a scheduled token unlock worth $120 million on Thursday could disrupt its momentum. Similarly, XRP is at a pivotal level, trading near its 50-day Exponential Moving Average, with the price needing to break a descending trendline to avoid a bearish outlook. Pi Network, currently in a phase of consolidation, could experience a breakout if it gets listed on a major exchange, such as HTX, fueling speculation about a major price jump.

Pi Network Price Surges — But Is a Devastating Crash Looming?

April 15, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Pi Network has staged a remarkable 92% rebound in just ten days, climbing to its highest price since late March amid a broader crypto market recovery. However, despite this bullish momentum, technical indicators are flashing warning signs. A rising wedge pattern and emerging bearish divergences suggest that Pi could be on the verge of a sharp pullback, with a potential drop of nearly 47% if key support levels fail to hold. Still, a breakout above $0.8610 could reignite bullish hopes, with the $1 mark in sight.

Ripple’s RLUSD has officially launched on Kraken, adding to its growing adoption across major exchanges. Within a short time, the stablecoin has surpassed $10 billion in trading volume, reflecting strong market momentum. Kraken users can now deposit RLUSD, though mobile access and the instant Buy feature remain unavailable until liquidity improves.

Beyond exchanges, Ripple has integrated RLUSD into its cross-border payments network, connecting financial institutions and payment providers across 90+ markets. With a market cap nearing $250 million and a 55% surge in monthly transfer volume, RLUSD continues to gain traction, driven by institutional adoption and strategic partnerships.

**Bitcoin Slips as Goldman Bets on Yen—Is BTC Losing Its Safe-Haven Status?**

April 2, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Goldman Sachs has identified the Japanese yen as the strongest hedge against rising U.S. recession risks, emphasizing its historical reliability in uncertain market conditions. On Wednesday, Bitcoin struggled against the yen, dropping 1% after failing to break key resistance levels, while broader financial markets braced for potential economic fallout from President Donald Trump’s new tariffs.

Despite some crypto analysts viewing Bitcoin as a haven asset, Goldman maintains that the yen is the superior safeguard against economic downturns, citing its resilience when U.S. equities and real interest rates decline. The strengthening yen could also trigger risk-off sentiment, similar to last year’s unwinding of yen-funded trades, which led to sharp declines in both stock markets and Bitcoin. Goldman forecasts further yen appreciation, expecting the USD/JPY exchange rate to fall into the low 140s, reinforcing its status as a key safe-haven currency.

No DOGE in D.O.G.E.’, Says Dogecoin Proponent Elon Musk

March 31, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Elon Musk has put an end to speculation about Dogecoin’s involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), confirming that the government has no plans to use the memecoin. His statement came during a town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he explained that the agency’s name was inspired by internet suggestions rather than any connection to cryptocurrency. Despite the lack of official ties, the department’s launch in August had previously sparked a surge in Dogecoin-related tokens and contributed to a months-long rally. Meanwhile, D.O.G.E. continues its mission to streamline government spending, reportedly saving taxpayers an estimated $130 billion since January.

March 31, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Global stock markets continued their downward trend for the fourth straight day as investors braced for President Donald Trump’s impending tariff announcement. Major Asian indices, including Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and Japan’s Nikkei 225, suffered sharp losses, while U.S. and European stock futures also slipped. Amid the market turmoil, gold surged to an all-time high and U.S. Treasury yields declined as traders sought safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $196 million inflow last week, contrasting with ether ETFs, which saw net outflows. In the crypto space, $751.2 million in token unlocks are set for release this week, with a significant $4.4 billion expected in May.

Pi Network in Trouble? Why Pi Coin Could Crash to Zero While This Crypto Takes Over in 2025!

March 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

As Pi Network struggles with a sharp price decline and growing concerns over its centralized structure, Rollblock (RBLK) is emerging as a dominant force in the GameFi sector for 2025. With Pi’s price dropping 62% in the past month due to heavy selling pressure, many investors are shifting their focus to Rollblock’s deflationary supply model, which could fuel a massive rally.

Rollblock is revolutionizing GambleFi with AI-powered gaming, real-time sports betting, and full blockchain transparency. Its innovative revenue-sharing model, which burns a portion of tokens to reduce supply, has driven significant investor interest. With rapid user growth and major presale success, analysts predict Rollblock could soar to $1 in 2025, positioning it as a top-performing crypto in its niche.

Shocking Twist: Trump Pardons BitMEX Founders Convicted of Money Laundering!

March 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Former President Donald Trump has granted pardons to BitMEX co-founders Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed, who had pleaded guilty in 2022 to violating the Bank Secrecy Act. The trio was accused of failing to implement proper anti-money laundering measures, leading to BitMEX being labeled a platform for money laundering.

Delo, in a statement, argued that the prosecution was politically motivated and based on an outdated law, expressing gratitude for Trump’s intervention. Prosecutors, however, maintained that the founders knowingly allowed illicit activity and had pushed for harsher sentences. With their convictions now overturned, the case reignites debates over cryptocurrency regulation and enforcement.

XRP to $10,000? The Shocking Breakdown You Need to See!

March 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Crypto analyst Joshua Jake recently addressed the bold prediction that XRP could reach $10,000 per coin, dismissing it as unrealistic. He argued that factors like ETF approvals, institutional adoption, and TradFi involvement are unlikely to trigger such a surge, pointing to Bitcoin’s ETFs as proof that institutional interest alone cannot drive extreme price increases.

Jake also challenged the idea that market capitalization is irrelevant, emphasizing that at $10,000 per coin, XRP’s market cap would reach an impossible $1 quadrillion—far exceeding the total global wealth. He further debunked claims that banks would push XRP’s price that high, noting that financial institutions are more likely to develop their own blockchain solutions rather than give Ripple overwhelming control.

While acknowledging XRP’s potential, Jake urged investors to remain cautious, warning against falling for exaggerated price targets that could lead to disappointment.
