Tether, issuer of the USDT stablecoin, has shut down its Bitcoin mining operations in Uruguay after negotiations with local power authorities over sharply higher electricity tariffs made continued operation unviable. Reports state the company deactivated its Uruguay facilities but did not disclose timelines, job impacts, megawatt capacity or asset disposition. The decision reflects broader pressure on miners from rising energy costs and regulatory scrutiny and highlights operational risk for vertically integrated crypto firms that run mining arms alongside treasury or payments businesses. For traders: the direct impact on BTC liquidity is likely limited, but the shutdown signals margin pressure for miners that can lead to miner capitulation, tighter block production economics, and weaker sentiment for Bitcoin mining stocks and related equities. Primary keywords: Tether, Bitcoin mining, energy costs, Uruguay, miner shutdown. Secondary keywords: miner margins, operational risk, mining capitulation, BTC liquidity.

Google, via Google.org, will commit 3 billion naira (about $2 million) to strengthen Nigeria’s digital sector by funding AI skills development and digital safety initiatives. The programme supports Nigeria’s National AI Strategy and its goal to create over one million digital jobs. Funds will be distributed to five organisations: FATE Foundation (with African Institute for Mathematical Sciences/AIMS), African Tech Forum (ATF), JA Africa, and CyberSafe Foundation. Key activities include integrating an advanced AI curriculum into universities, launching an innovation challenge for developers, scaling the “Be Internet Awesome” youth digital-safety programme, and bolstering cybersecurity for public institutions. Nigerian Minister of Communication, Innovation and Digital Economy Dr. Bosun Tijani welcomed the investment as a private-sector partnership to operationalise national AI priorities. The announcement follows Google’s prior commitments in Nigeria, including the Equiano subsea cable and past training programmes (e.g., a ₦1.2bn “Mind the Gap” initiative that trained over 20,000 participants). Public First projects Nigeria could unlock up to $15bn in AI-driven economic value by 2030, underlining the economic rationale for accelerating AI skills and digital safety.

OpenAI confirmed a data breach tied to a third‑party analytics vendor, Mixpanel, which exposed API user metadata. The company says the leaked data included non-sensitive metadata about API usage (timestamps, endpoints, and request volumes) rather than full user content or API keys, but it is urging customers to be vigilant for targeted phishing and social‑engineering attempts. OpenAI recommended rotating any exposed credentials as a precaution, monitoring account activity, and implementing multi‑factor authentication. Security teams and developers using OpenAI APIs should check logs for anomalous calls and follow vendor guidance. The incident highlights operational risks from third‑party providers and underscores the importance of credential hygiene and phishing awareness for crypto firms and trading platforms that integrate AI services.

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading in a $79,000–$95,000 range after a >6% weekly rebound from last month’s dip, though it remains down ~12% over six months. Short-term averages show strength. Immediate resistance lies just above $103,000; a decisive break could target $118,000 (~25% upside from current upper levels). On the downside, support sits near $72,000. Analysts flag mixed indicators: cautious optimism tempered by potential resistance and macro/institutional flows. Traders should expect heightened volatility in December as market participants react to technical levels, positioning, and broader economic drivers. The article also contains promotional commentary from Outset PR about data-led crypto PR services.

Advertising drives visibility, but in crypto it cannot create lasting credibility. The article argues that earned public relations — specifically tier‑1 media coverage — provides independent validation that ads cannot: it validates projects to investors and partners, strengthens narratives, and produces durable reputation assets. Outset PR’s approach is summarized: craft journalist‑ready briefs, select strong angles, pitch to trusted reporters, react to news cycles, and manage publications end to end. A case study with Graphite Network is cited: targeted pitching secured features in Forbes and VentureBeat and expert commentary on Investing.com, which elevated credibility and investor confidence. The piece concludes that advertising amplifies exposure but PR anchors long‑term trust; tier‑1 coverage acts as an editorial checkpoint that can materially affect investor perception and market positioning.

Major asset managers BlackRock, Fidelity and Ark Invest have quietly accumulated substantial positions in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), signalling a renewed wave of institutional buying. Data shows Fidelity and Ark Invest added about $165.5 million in Bitcoin, while BlackRock bought roughly $68.8 million worth of Ethereum. The purchases reinforce a narrative that institutions view BTC and ETH as strategic macro assets ahead of expected Federal Reserve rate cuts and increased ETF inflows. Institutional accumulation is widely seen as a bullish indicator—historically preceding accelerated price rallies as retail follows institutional lead. Key takeaways for traders: expect increased ETF flows and higher liquidity in BTC/ETH markets, potential short-term volatility around macro events (Fed decisions), and a constructive long-term trend if inflows persist.

BlockchainFX has emerged as the top bullish cryptocurrency, rapidly overtaking Injective (INJ) and Litecoin (LTC) in market momentum and sentiment. The report highlights a sharp uptick in on-chain activity, social engagement, and price performance for BlockchainFX, driven by renewed investor interest, technical catalysts, and positive developer updates. Analysts note that the token’s short-term rally reflects a concentration of buy-side flows and heightened leverage in derivatives markets. While specific percentage gains and timeframes were not provided in the source, the article signals heightened volatility as traders rotate capital into BlockchainFX and away from previously strong performers like INJ and LTC. Short-term implications include increased liquidity, wider bid-ask spreads during spikes, and potential profit-taking that could lead to rapid pullbacks. Longer-term outcomes will depend on sustained on-chain adoption, continued developer progress, and whether trading volume and fundamentals support the higher valuation. Traders should monitor order-book depth, futures funding rates, on-chain transfer volumes, and official project announcements to manage risk. Primary keywords: BlockchainFX, bullish crypto, Injective, Litecoin, on-chain activity. Secondary keywords: price momentum, derivatives leverage, trader rotation, liquidity, volatility.

Uzbekistan will introduce a controlled regulatory regime from January 1, 2026 to pilot stablecoin-based payments and distributed ledger technology (DLT). A presidential decree creates a sandbox jointly overseen by the National Agency for Perspective Projects and the Central Bank to test stablecoin performance, security, AML controls and monetary-policy impacts before any wider roll-out. The framework allows Uzbek legal entities to issue tokenized shares and bonds and trade them on a specialised platform operated via licensed local exchanges. Authorities have paused a separate soum symbol project to prioritise fintech reforms; officials including President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Central Bank Chairman Timur Ishmetov back measured testing, CBDC research for interbank settlements and open-banking initiatives. The package aims to modernise payments, attract investment through tokenised assets and boost fintech growth while limiting systemic risk through sandbox constraints and phased testing. For traders, the move signals gradual institutional adoption, potential new liquidity from tokenized securities and payments rails, but restrictions and careful testing mean any market effects will be incremental rather than immediate.

Matrixport analysts say Bitcoin (BTC) is trading in a rare, conflicted state after a partial price recovery. The report highlights a sharp drop in implied volatility (IV), which has reduced demand for downside protection, while BTC remains below a key resistance band it has repeatedly failed to clear. On-chain metrics indicate an imminent retest of a critical cost level that historically separates “panic” from “deep value” zones. Macro factors — notably a Fed shift in tone around rate-cut expectations — have added to uncertainty. Technically, Bitcoin formed a bullish hammer at recent lows, but Matrixport concludes the primary downtrend is still intact. The mix of compressed volatility, opposing position structures, and macro signals suggests short-term low volatility with potential for sudden directional moves. Traders should note increased pricing uncertainty and the likelihood of limited downside protection demand during this phase. (Keywords: Bitcoin, BTC, implied volatility, Matrixport, on-chain, Fed, downtrend)

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has traded roughly between $27 and $39 after recent dips, showing mixed timeframe performance: about -4% last week, -24% month-over-month, but +10% over six months. Short-term technicals are mixed-to-cautiously bullish. Key resistance sits at $36–$38 (earlier neckline) and a higher, critical resistance near $46; a confirmed break above $46 could open a path toward $50–$58. Support levels to watch are approximately $30, $27 and deeper supports at $25, $22 and $10. Indicators cited include an RSI near the low-60s and a MACD that is turning marginally positive but remains below zero; price recently bounced from the lower Bollinger Band and is retesting the 20-day moving average (~$37). Traders should monitor price action and volume at the $36–$38 and $46 zones, and wait for MACD confirmation above zero and a decisive volume-backed breakout before assuming trend reversal. Manage risk with stop levels around $30–$31 and be prepared for downside to $25 if neckline resistance holds. No new on-chain developments, partnerships or material fundamentals were reported; the later article removed promotional content and emphasized volume and breakout confirmation as primary trade triggers. This is informational, not investment advice.

CoinShares has withdrawn its Form S‑1 filings with the U.S. SEC for multiple planned spot single‑asset crypto ETFs — including XRP, Litecoin (LTC) and a Solana staking product — saying the U.S. single‑asset ETF market is saturated and margins are limited. CEO Jean‑Marie Mognetti said single‑asset crypto ETPs have been commoditized and consolidated among large incumbents, prompting a strategic pivot to higher‑margin US offerings such as crypto equity exposure vehicles, thematic baskets and actively managed strategies combining crypto and other assets. The firm will also wind down its Bitcoin Futures Leveraged product (ticker BTFX) and pursue alternative US launches over the next 12–18 months as it prepares for a planned Nasdaq listing following a $1.2bn SPAC with Vine Hill Capital. No shares were sold under the withdrawn registrations. The move follows heavy inflows into some spot ETFs recently (notably XRP and SOL products), highlighting intensifying competition and market concentration that reduced opportunities for late entrants.

STBL, a stablecoin protocol, announced the launch of its reward-claiming feature. Eligible contributors can log in with their X (formerly Twitter) accounts, link wallets on the official page, and claim rewards. STBL said future reward calculations will incorporate additional participation metrics — including multi-factor staking within the STBL dApp and USST minting volumes — which will affect leaderboard scores to better reflect deeper engagement and genuine ecosystem contributions. The announcement aims to encourage sustained on-chain participation and align incentives with active protocol use. No financial figures or timelines were disclosed. (Keywords: STBL, stablecoin, reward claim, USST, dApp staking, leaderboard)

Bitcoin (BTC) remains around $90,000 while Ethereum (ETH) is gradually climbing after a brief Chicago data-center outage that temporarily froze global trading screens. Markets recovered quickly once the outage was resolved and stocks gained on hopes of Fed easing. Institutional flows show conviction: Ark Invest bought about $88 million of Bitcoin and BlackRock added roughly $68.8 million of Ethereum. Roughly $190 billion returned to crypto markets over the week and Circle minted another $500 million USDC, increasing short-term liquidity. Key on-chain indicators (MVRV Z-Score ~1.07, Puell Multiple <1) and the inactive Pi Cycle Top suggest no clear cycle top. Despite a 36% pullback over six weeks, ETF and custody flows remain large (BlackRock holding ~777,000 BTC) and liquidation maps show meaningful short-squeeze potential toward $112,000. Short-term: calm after disruption, liquidity and institutional buying supporting prices. Medium/long-term: structural bullish bias persists given ETF holdings, renewed liquidity, and oversold miner metrics, though risks remain from macro shifts and retail sentiment.

Bitcoin (BTC) has staged a short-term rally above $91,000, improving market sentiment after a recent correction. Simultaneously, BlockchainFX (BFX) — a presale stage trading platform — announced it has raised $11.7 million, approaching a $12M soft cap. The project is marketing a 70% Black Friday bonus (code: BF70) and a presale price of $0.03 with an expected $0.05 launch target. BlockchainFX says it secured an international trading licence from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) and offers multi-asset trading (crypto, stocks, forex, commodities, ETFs), staking rewards distributed in BFX and USDT, and fee redistribution to holders. The presale accepts multiple payment methods (ETH, USDT, BTC, Apple Pay, VISA) and claims instant token crediting. The article is a paid promotion and includes a giveaway incentive (Gleam) for purchases over $100. Key figures: $11.7M raised, $12M soft cap, $0.03 presale price, 70% bonus, BTC price > $91,000. Traders should note this is promotional material and assess regulatory and counterparty risk despite the AOFA licence claim.

Kazakhstan’s National Bank (NBK) said it may allocate up to $300 million from its gold and foreign-exchange reserves to buy crypto assets, according to NBK Chairman Timur Suleimenov. The bank plans a market-sensitive approach: initial investments could range from about $50 million to the full $300 million depending on post-drawdown recovery and profitability signals. The NBK has already created a dedicated portfolio for high‑tech and crypto-related instruments and is conducting detailed analysis before entering trades. Earlier comments from Deputy Chairman Berik Sholpankulov suggested the NBK might consider additional sources such as the National Fund, but Suleimenov clarified current purchases would come only from central-bank reserves. Suleimenov has also said Kazakhstan aims to build a larger crypto reserve (target cited up to $1 billion) composed of seized coins, industry equity and crypto ETFs. Separately, the government-backed Alem Crypto Fund — backed by Binance — has begun investments including BNB. Traders should watch for official announcements on allocation size, timing and any spot purchases from sovereign reserves, as these could provide detectable demand support in liquid markets. Main keywords: Kazakhstan, National Bank, crypto investment, reserves, Bitcoin, BNB.

Wave-based technical analysis from ChartNerd shows XRP trading inside a defined five-wave structure and consolidating within a ’vertical accumulation’ range bounded by clear support and resistance. The chart maps prior accumulation, a steep vertical move, and a structured consolidation that sits above 2021 cycle highs—now acting as support. Neither support nor resistance has been decisively broken, so the analyst advises waiting for a confirmed breakout before taking directional positions. Community reaction mixes short-term caution with long-term buy-and-hold conviction. Positive fundamental signals noted alongside the technical view include reports of funds developing XRP products, renewed discussion of a US XRP-focused ETF, and partnership rumors around payment infrastructure. For traders: maintain a low short-term directional bias, watch range boundaries closely for confirmation, size positions conservatively, and let a breakout (or failure) guide entries. (Keywords: XRP, XRP technical analysis, breakout, accumulation zone, support and resistance)

Bitwise Europe research head André Dragosch says Bitcoin is exhibiting a risk-reward profile similar to early COVID-19 market conditions, arguing BTC is already pricing in a recession-like global growth outlook after heavy sell-offs and large liquidations. Dragosch cited March 2020’s asymmetric setup as the last comparable episode and noted BTC has likely absorbed much bad news. Bitcoin fell more than 17% in the past 30 days and slid from an Oct. 5 all-time high of $125,100 into a post‑liquidation pullback (notably a $19bn liquidation wave on Oct. 10). Prices briefly dipped under $90,000 on Nov. 20 before buyers stepped in, suggesting a possible floor. Dragosch expects global growth to rebound as prior monetary stimulus filters through, which could lift Bitcoin. The article also references Cathie Wood (ARK Invest) who expects a rapid liquidity rebound driven by near-term Fed policy shifts and resumed government spending; ARK continued large crypto-equity purchases during the downturn. Key takeaways for traders: BTC sentiment is weak but may be discounting the worst outcomes; the market setup presents asymmetric risk-reward similar to COVID-era rebounds; monitor macro cues (Fed policy, liquidity metrics, Treasury flows) and liquidation/derivatives activity for short-term signals.

Upbit, South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, discovered a critical wallet vulnerability while investigating a recent $30 million hack. The breach prompted an emergency probe; Upbit said it has identified the flaw in its wallet infrastructure and is taking steps to secure assets and prevent further exploitation. The exchange is collaborating with law enforcement and blockchain analytics teams to trace stolen funds and determine the attack vector. Upbit has not disclosed full technical details but emphasized customer asset safety and is performing patches and enhanced monitoring. The incident has triggered internal security reviews and may affect withdrawal and deposit operations temporarily as protective measures are enacted. Market participants should watch for official updates on recovered funds, forensic findings, and any regulatory or operational impacts.

Coinbase submitted a formal policy letter to the CFTC on November 28, 2025, responding to the agency’s request for input on updating the 2022 President’s Working Group Report on Digital Assets. Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad highlighted three core recommendations: 1) permit vertically integrated trading models with strict conflict‑of‑interest protections and independent oversight; 2) establish a tailored, principles‑based regulatory category for DeFi derivatives that recognizes decentralised protocol structures; and 3) allow high‑quality, regulated stablecoins to be used as initial and variation margin in U.S. futures markets. Coinbase argued current derivatives rules—designed for centralized intermediaries—do not fit blockchain native markets and risk pushing innovation offshore. The firm noted its subsidiaries’ experience as a registered futures commission merchant and designated contract market, and said stablecoin collateral would enable 24/7 settlement and lower counterparty risk. The submission aligns with broader bipartisan momentum for clearer U.S. crypto rules and follows signals from CFTC leadership urging coordination and innovation‑friendly policy. If adopted, Coinbase’s proposals could keep DeFi and stablecoin derivatives activity onshore and improve market efficiency for retail and institutional traders.

Bitcoin may be forming a short-term bottom as on-chain and technical signals show stabilisation, suggesting a relief rally toward the $100,000–$110,000 range. Trader Mister Crypto pointed to the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) approaching the 30 oversold level and increased long positions by large traders (whales) despite sentiment dropping into “extreme fear.” Historically, moves from similar RSI levels have preceded temporary bounces. Another technical point of interest is Bitcoin’s distance from the 50-week moving average, near $102,000; past cycles have seen retracements back toward that average after dips. Macro expectations — potentially easing quantitative tightening and a future interest-rate cut — could further support risk assets like Bitcoin. However, the analyst cautioned the broader market remains in bear territory and any rally may be temporary and followed by renewed weakness. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index recently moved from “Extreme Fear” to “Fear” (28), and some analysts see asymmetric upside if macro conditions improve.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and author Robert Kiyosaki urged investors to buy cryptocurrencies amid heightened market fear, arguing that peak fear is a buying opportunity. The Fear and Greed Index sits at 20, signaling strong market fear. Kiyosaki highlighted the breakdown of Japan’s long-running carry trade — where cheap yen-funded borrowing propped global asset inflation — after the Bank of Japan’s rate hikes pushed yields above 1.7%. That unwind is forcing liquidations and reallocations toward safe-haven and alternative assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. On-chain analytics from CryptoQuant indicate Bitcoin’s Net Realized Profit and Loss (NRPL) is retreating toward zero after sharp spikes, a pattern consistent with the end of forced selling and the start of a neutral “quiet equilibrium.” Anchored VWAP measures show Bitcoin trading below event-based levels tied to major past catalysts, suggesting accumulation. Analysts say if NRPL stays above zero, a recovery base may form; a move negative would indicate renewed weakness. Key takeaways for traders: market sentiment is fearful but selling pressure may be abating; macro shifts (Japan carry trade) can spur further volatility and flows into BTC/ETH; watch NRPL, VWAP, and Fear & Greed Index for confirmation.

LivLive ($LIVE) is running a time-limited presale promoting a Live-to-Earn (L2E) model that rewards verified real-world activity through AR quests, reviews and interactions. The project bundles NFT Token Packs that include a free wearable granting permanent mining power and passive token income. LivLive emphasizes real-world asset (RWA) revenue by integrating brand-paid rewards—luxury goods, tech and VIP experiences—to create external demand for $LIVE and a claimed durable price floor. Tokenomics reserve 65% of $LIVE for presale participants and mining rewards; prices rise across stages (example stage price move from $0.02 to $0.04) to incentivize early entry. A limited Black Friday flash sale offers a 300% bonus using code BLACK300 (quadruples token allocation), which the piece frames as a major incentive for early investors. The article is a paid promotional press release and includes a disclaimer. Key calls to action point users to LivLive’s website and social channels. Primary keywords: LivLive presale, Live-to-Earn, $LIVE token, presale bonus, NFT wearable.

The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center has issued a public alert about a rising Account Takeover Fraud scheme that has generated more than 5,000 complaints and reported losses exceeding $262 million. Scammers impersonate bank or payroll staff via social engineering (fraudulent calls, texts, emails) and phishing websites to harvest login credentials. Once inside, criminals change passwords, lock owners out and quickly move funds — often routing money through digital wallets to complicate recovery. The FBI noted cases where fraudsters impersonate law enforcement to obtain further account data. Recommended protections include using unique, complex passwords, bookmarking real financial sites, exercising caution with information shared online, and reporting suspicious activity immediately. Victims are urged to contact their financial institution quickly to request recalls, reversals or Hold Harmless/indemnity letters to reduce losses. Primary keywords: account takeover, phishing, social engineering, digital wallets, FBI alert. Secondary/semantic keywords: financial scam, wire fraud, online account security, funds recovery.

The FBI issued an alert about a surge in account takeover (ATO) fraud that impersonates banks and financial institutions to steal credentials and transfer funds into cryptocurrency wallets. Since the campaign intensified, U.S. victims filed over 5,000 complaints in 2025, reporting losses exceeding $262 million. Attackers use phishing emails, SMS and phone calls directing victims to fake login pages, then change account settings and link accounts to wallets they control. The FBI notes rapid conversion to crypto complicates recovery; industry data cited a 20% rise in such incidents in 2024 and indicated blockchain transfers hindered recovery in about 70% of cases. Cybersecurity firms warn that two-factor authentication can be bypassed via SIM swaps and social-engineering techniques. Traders and users are advised to verify communications via official channels, enable strong unique passwords, use hardware wallets or secure custody for large holdings, enable robust multi-factor authentication (preferably app- or hardware-based), and report suspected takeovers to banks and the FBI promptly. Key implications: increased theft funnels liquidity into on-chain wallets, raising short-term selling pressure on some assets tied to stolen flows and complicating enforcement and asset recovery. Primary keywords: account takeover, phishing, crypto wallet, FBI alert; secondary keywords: SIM swap, two-factor authentication, fund recovery.

US federal interest payments rose to an estimated $970 billion in fiscal 2025 — about $7,300 per household and 3.1% of GDP — surpassing national defense and Medicaid allocations. The jump, driven by higher borrowing needs and elevated rates, has reignited investor interest in fixed‑supply crypto assets. Against this fiscal backdrop, Bitcoin Munari (BTCM) concluded the final day of its Round 2 presale at $0.22. Bitcoin Munari positions itself as a fixed‑supply project with a 21,000,000 BTCM cap, initially issued as a Solana SPL token before a planned 1:1 migration to a native Layer‑1 chain. The project proposes a delegated proof‑of‑stake validator model with three participation tiers (full validators at 10,000 BTCM and specified hardware; mobile validators at 1,000 BTCM via an Android client; delegators from 100 BTCM). Tokens are fully unlocked at distribution. Bitcoin Munari completed smart‑contract audits (Solidproof, Spy Wolf) and team KYC ahead of testnet, validator onboarding and mainnet launch. The article frames the presale milestone amid broader macro fiscal concerns, suggesting demand for scarcity‑oriented digital assets may increase as interest costs strain public finances.

Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) are under renewed selling pressure as both assets approach critical support zones. ETH has retreated from above $3,300 to test structural support around $2,680; falling open interest (from $15.4B to $15.3B) suggests de-risking rather than new shorting, and a breakdown could expose $2,400–$2,500. SOL trades near $127 after a 31% 30-day drop but shows strong institutional inflows via six U.S. spot ETFs (assets > $2B) and 15 consecutive days of positive flows; open interest has fallen from $8.84B to $3.36B, signaling leveraged position unwind and potential for sharper moves if trend reverses. Traders are shifting attention to lower-priced altcoins, notably Mutuum Finance (MUTM). MUTM’s presale is in Phase 6 at $0.035 (up 250% from Phase 1), with $19M raised, 18,200 holders, and Phase 6 ~95% filled; Phase 7 will raise the price to $0.04 and confirmed launch price is $0.06 (implying ~328% ROI for Phase 6 buyers). MUTM runs engagement incentives (daily leaderboard bonuses and a $100,000 giveaway) that may accelerate demand. Market implication: mixed — ETH and SOL technicals demand close monitoring for support breakdowns or rebounds, while MUTM’s fast-moving presale and promotional mechanics could drive speculative flow into low-priced tokens. This article is a sponsored press release and not investment advice.

Macro commentator Levi Rietveld highlighted Raoul Pal’s view that several macroeconomic and regulatory shifts could boost demand for risk assets, potentially driving XRP higher. Pal cited a likely decline in the US Treasury General Account (TGA), the end of quantitative tightening (QT), China expanding its balance sheet, upcoming regulatory adjustments, and expected interest-rate cuts as catalysts that would increase liquidity and risk-on positioning. Social-media commenters added that active spot ETF inflows for XRP are already supplying liquidity and could accelerate price gains if sustained. The article frames these points as reasons some market participants expect renewed strength for XRP but stresses uncertainty: outcomes depend on how policy, economic data, and institutional flows evolve. This is analysis and not financial advice.

Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded from a multi-month low below $82,000 and briefly reached about $93,000 before encountering immediate resistance and pulling back roughly $2.5K–3K to trade near $90.5K. BTC market capitalization remains above $1.8 trillion and dominance is around 56–57%. The latest session saw most large-cap altcoins soften: ETH traded near $3,000, XRP slipped under $2.40, while SOL and ADA fell about 3–4%. Pi Network’s PI was a notable mover, dropping about 7% in 24 hours to below $0.25 after earlier weekly gains. Other notable movers included M (up ~16% in one report) and QNT (up ~8%), while some earlier reports showed mixed small-cap outperformers (BCH, HYPE, XMR, SHIB, ENA, TAO). Total crypto market capitalization moved in the $3.07T–$3.17T range across reports, implying roughly flat to a ~$50B intraday decline. Key trading takeaways: BTC faces clear resistance around ~$93K — watch for a decisive break or rejection; BTC dominance remains high near 57% which can limit broad altcoin strength; PI’s volatility highlights idiosyncratic risk in token-specific news; monitor market-cap flow for signs of rotation into or out of altcoins.

This analysis examines Ripple’s XRP price outlook from 2025 through 2030 and whether XRP could reach $5. Key drivers identified are regulatory clarity (particularly the outcome of legal actions and SEC stance), wider banking and RippleNet adoption for cross‑border payments, major exchange listings and liquidity, and overall crypto market cycles. The piece provides conservative, moderate and optimistic scenario targets: 2025 ($0.85 / $1.20 / $1.80), 2027 ($1.50 / $2.25 / $3.50), and 2030 ($2.80 / $4.20 / $6.00). Reaching $5 by 2030 is considered possible under a favorable convergence of clear regulation, major institutional/bank adoption, successful RippleNet expansion, and sustained bull-market conditions. Risks highlighted include ongoing regulatory uncertainty, competition from alternative payment solutions, market volatility, and adoption barriers. The article recommends cautious optimism and independent research, noting the forecast is not trading advice.
