A prominent crypto trader has made a bold move back into Ethereum, stirring attention across digital markets. Reports have disclosed that the account known as “1011short” converted 10 million USDC into Hyperliquid before opening a long position with a five-fold leverage, controlling around $44.15 million in ETH. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces More Downside After Recent Crash, Data Shows Whale Opens A Massive Ethereum Bet The trade uses 15,000 ETH at an entry price of $2,945, while current market levels sit near $2,896. That puts the position about $38,000 in the red for now. Based on reports, the liquidation point is $2,326, giving the trader a sizable margin to withstand market swings. With leverage in play, profits and losses are both magnified, making the move high-risk but potentially high-reward. Market Momentum Shows Mixed Signals Bitcoin has bounced back to $89,000, gaining 1.37% in the last 24 hours, though it still remains over 20% below last month’s highs. Some altcoins followed the trend upward. These gains helped trigger a wave of liquidations, catching many traders off guard. This #BitcoinOG(1011short) is back! He deposited 10M $USDC into #HyperLiquid 6 hours ago and opened a 5x long on 15,000 $ETH($44.15M)!https://t.co/f54Xo9g6vf pic.twitter.com/wfsyYm5JhS — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) November 25, 2025 Liquidations Surge As Prices Bounce In the last day, leveraged positions worth $337 million were liquidated, reports show. About 112,021 accounts were wiped out in total. The majority of liquidations came from short trades ($233 million), while the total for long trades was ($104 million). One of the largest orders liquidated was on Hyperliquid at $8.61 million BTC-USD. At the end of the day, Bitcoin and Ethereum made up the majority of the liquidations: about $119 million in BTC and about $73.34 million in ETH. This indicates the continued high levels of leverage employed in trades on both of the two largest digital currencies by market capitalization, despite large price fluctuations that have been observed recently. The larger the move in either direction, the more uncertain the trader will be with respect to the timing and extent of their exposure, and thus the potential for loss exists for both bears and bulls. Institutional Accumulation Continues Meanwhle, Nasdaq-listed BitMine Immersion Technologies expanded its ETH holdings last week by 69,822 coins, bringing its total to 3.63 million ETH — about 3% of circulating supply. The company also reported 192 BTC, $38 million in Worldcoin, and $800 million in cash. CryptoQuant data indicate unrealized losses of roughly $3.4 billion on its ETH treasury, reflecting market dips.

Ethereum’s price has spent the past several days under intense pressure. The leading altcoin has broken below $3,000 and is now probing deeper into ranges that were previously considered secondary support. The latest technical read points to a single leverage point on the chart that now determines whether this recovery attempt can continue or whether the market is preparing for another leg lower. Where The Real Leverage Sits: $2,830 To $2,835 Ethereum’s price decline in November recently pushed it into a demand zone around $2,680 on November 21, where buyers finally stepped in to produce a 10% rebound back up to $2,970. The RSI trendline, which had been sloping downward for weeks, has now been reclaimed. This shift is significant because it indicates that momentum is no longer deteriorating at the same pace as before. Related Reading: Ethereum Dead Cat Bounce Puts Price At $3,400, But What’s The Ultimate Target? Even with that bounce, the cryptocurrency has not fully escaped danger. This is based on a technical outlook by a crypto analyst known as Umair Crypto on the social media platform X. The most important finding in the technical analysis is not the bounce itself but the location of the largest recent whale orders. Roughly 4,000 to 5,000 ETH blocks were executed between $2,830 and $2,835. That narrow band has now become the market’s true leverage point. As long as the Ethereum price is trading above $2,835, these whales are in profit. The psychological impact of that cannot be overstated, as large players do not usually abandon positions that are above their entry zone. This is why the price has repeatedly reacted within tight candles around this level, and there is always a possibility for a rebound if Ethereum continues to hold this area. Momentum will build naturally as trapped shorts unwind and sidelined buyers follow the strength in trading volume and RSI. The Bigger Breakdown Starts Below $2,770 Failure to hold above the leverage zone between $2,830 and $2,835 will lead directly into the second important leverage at $2,770. If Ethereum were to close below this level, the same whales who supported the bounce would instantly become vulnerable. Their positions would move underwater, and many of them may be forced to become sellers. Related Reading: Why Are The Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Dogecoin Prices Down Again? This zone is visible with the clusters of red circles visible at lower points on the short-term chart below. A breakdown under $2,770 would reopen the lower part of the support box and drag Ethereum back to its lowest price level since June. Ethereum is currently trading at $2,908, up by 1.5% in the past 24 hours and just a little bit above the recognized leverage zone between $2,830 and $2,835.

The XRP price is currently at risk of a crash as crypto analyst Umair has revealed that the altcoin has formed a death cross. Notably, this same pattern formed the last time that XRP suffered a 15% crash. XRP Price At Risk With Death Cross Forming In an X post, Umair stated that a death cross was forming on the daily chart for the XRP price. He further noted that the last time the altcoin printed this setup, it crashed by 15%, which, the analyst said, lines up perfectly with a potential decline to the $1.50 range. As such, he suggested that XRP could face the same outcome, since the same ingredients have formed. Related Reading: XRP Price Will Climb Above $10 When This Happens: Analyst Umair also mentioned that the chart was building a tight range between $1.90 and $2.08, a range which he described as the entire decision maker. He explained that if the XRP price can stay inside this band and spend time there, then it could form a month-long consolidation needed for a real base. However, if the XRP price fails to hold this range, then there is nothing stopping it from crashing to the $1.50 zone, according to the crypto analyst. He noted that this is exactly where the previous breakdown logic pointed. He also raised the possibility of another scenario playing out for XRP. Umair stated that if the XRP price wicks below $1.82 but snaps back inside the $1.90 and $2.08 range, then that could mark the bottom. However, if the altcoin closes below this range, then the range loses integrity, and XRP could begin its freefall. It is worth mentioning that XRP had dropped to as low as $1.8 last week but has since reclaimed the psychological $2 level. $1.65 Could Mark The Bottom For XRP Crypto analyst CasiTrades has predicted that the macro .618 support near $1.65 is likely to mark the bottom for the XRP price. This came as she noted that the altcoin was seeing a relief bounce for subwave 4. The analyst added that she expects XRP to backtest the $2 or $2.09 resistance before heading down to complete the final wave of this correction at $1.65. Related Reading: Pundit Reveals Why XRP Price At $1,000 Is Not A Dream – ‘It’s Math’ CasiTrades noted that this aligns extremely cleanly with Bitcoin. She explained that the BTC price came close to its own macro .382 retracement but hasn’t fully made it yet. The analyst expects BTC to finish its correction at $80,000, as XRP price makes its last move to $1.65. Once those levels are hit, CasiTrades expects the structure to flip bullish fast. The analyst predicts that Bitcoin will begin its Wave 5 into new highs while the XRP price and other altcoins kick off their macro Wave 3. She declared that they will begin their move together, but with different strengths because they are in different positions in the broader market cycle. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.17, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP’s price action in November has dragged it below $2, but technical analysis suggests that the breakdown might not be over. A new technical outlook from crypto analyst CasiTrades suggests that the XRP price is entering the final stages of its corrective structure. The analyst believes the current movements are part of a clean Elliott Wave formation that is approaching its final wave to as low as $2.65 before a major bullish reversal takes place. Related Reading: Dogecoin Goes Wall Street: Grayscale Confirms Nov. 24 ETF Launch XRP Breaks Below Fibonacci Levels As Wave Structure Unfolds XRP’s volatility has intensified in recent days as the cryptocurrency continues to unwind into new November lows. Price action across the major exchanges shows a steady decline beneath retracement levels that have pushed XRP into deeper corrective territory. CasiTrades noted that XRP’s drop beneath the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement on Coinbase was the move that confirmed further downside. According to the analyst, she had already warned that a failure of this level would open the door to a wave of selling toward the extended Wave 3 support at roughly $1.84. XRP reached that target with precision, while Binance’s chart tagged its own macro .5 level around $1.88. The current bounce back above $1.9 might be looking like a reversal but is actually a subwave 4 relief move. This means XRP is temporarily recovering from deeply oversold conditions, yet the core market structure still points to one more leg lower before the trend shifts. Based on the Fibonacci map and wave count, the technical outlook is for XRP to retest familiar resistance levels around $2.00 or $2.09 before the final decline begins. ???? Get Ready! XRP Likely to test the Macro .618! ???? XRP has officially broken below its .5 retracement on Coinbase, and just like I said in my last update, if that level fails, the next target will be the extended Wave 3 support around $1.84. We’ve now reached that perfectly and… pic.twitter.com/tSQdVAlpdY — CasiTrades ???? (@CasiTrades) November 21, 2025 $1.65 As The Final Level To Complete Correction The most important area in CasiTrades’ outlook is the macro 0.618 support, located close to $1.65. This level aligns across both Coinbase and Binance and sits at the heart of the analyst’s projection for where Wave 5 of the correction should land. The chart above shows a descending wedge meeting the macro support, along with an RSI trend that has continued building a bullish divergence. These signals suggest that momentum is flattening. However, CasiTrades believes that XRP dipping into the $1.65 region would mark the moment the correction concludes. Related Reading: Kiyosaki Dumps Bitcoin At $90K After Predicting A $250K Moonshot – Here’s Why The analyst also pointed out that Bitcoin’s chart is moving in harmony with XRP’s structure. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has approached its own macro 0.382 retracement but has not fully reached it yet. The expectation is that XRP’s final leg to $1.65 will occur simultaneously with Bitcoin sliding to a clean $80,000 touch. CasiTrades projects Bitcoin entering its Wave 5 advance into new all-time highs shortly after touching its support. If that scenario plays out, both assets would complete their macro supports at the same moment, setting the stage for a synchronized bullish reversal. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.02.

XRP has entered a new phase in its growth as Spot XRP ETFs begin trading across the United States. The excitement surrounding institutional access to XRP has grown quickly in recent weeks, especially as filings and inflow reports hint at rising interest from funds preparing to scale their exposure. A market commentator known as Chad Steingraber presented a projection showing just how intense ETF accumulation could become if issuers adopt an acquisition strategy similar to what was seen in Bitcoin ETFs. The estimates outline an aggressive period of accumulation that could reduce XRP’s available supply far faster than many expect, and here are the numbers. Related Reading: Trump’s WLFI Moves To Contain Wallet Breach While Federal Inquiry Looms A Breakdown Of Steingraber’s Projection Steingraber’s first scenario examines a modest but steady accumulation model where 12 Spot XRP ETF issuers acquire an average of 3million XRP per day. His projection is based on focusing on the average rather than trying to predict which fund accumulates the most, because the combined impact is what ultimately matters for XRP’s market price. Under this setup, daily inflows would reach up to 36 million XRP. Over a standard five-day trading week, that accumulation would climb to 160 million XRP. Over the course of a month, the amount absorbed by ETFs would increase to 720 million XRP. By the end of a full year, this single projection implies that as much as 8.64 billion XRP could be removed from public circulation and locked into ETFs. Of course, these numbers only take into account the possibility of consecutive net inflow days and no net outflow days. Although these figures are hypothetical, the pace aligns with the early patterns seen in Bitcoin ETFs, where strong averages across issuers created a sustained demand for Bitcoin. A More Aggressive Scenario Based On Recent Activity In another post, Steingraber offered a more forceful accumulation model using the activity of Bitwise’s Spot XRP ETF as a benchmark. Data shows that the Bitwise XRP ETF received inflows of about 5.82 million XRP in its first trading day. In this second scenario, the projected daily acquisition rate is doubled to about 6 million XRP per issuer. If 12 funds follow this pattern, the combined accumulation could hit 72 million XRP every day. Extending the same five-day cycle, the weekly total would rise toward 360 million XRP, while monthly totals would reach approximately 1.44 billion XRP. Over a full year, this more aggressive model ends with 17.28 billion XRP absorbed into ETF products. “The entire XRP public supply will be gone UNLESS THE PRICE GOES ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH,” Steingraber said. Related Reading: $2 Billion Gone In Minutes: Bitcoin Slide Shakes Crypto World The projections serve as a wake-up call on how quickly XRP’s supply ecosystem might change once ETF inflows stabilize and larger issuers like Grayscale, Bitwise, Canary, CoinShares, Franklin, 21Shares and WisdomTree get in on the action. However, BlackRock, which oversees the largest Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, is yet to make any move on a Spot XRP ETF. The company had confirmed in August that it has no immediate plans to file for one. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
A crypto pundit has ignited discussion about the long-term outlook of the XRP price after arguing that a surge to a $1,000 target is not a dream but a realistic goal supported by market math. The analyst believes that XRP’s future depends on measurable utility rather than market hype, positioning the cryptocurrency as an asset built for deep financial integration, which could fuel a prolonged upward rally. Why A $1,000 XRP Price Is Not A Dream Pseudonymous crypto analyst 24HRSCRYPTO predicted on X this Friday that XRP could climb from its current price of above $1.9 to $1,000. He described the path to this ambitious target as a matter of scaling rather than a dream. He also framed it as a math-based outcome, essentially driven by XRP’s foundational role as a global payments currency. Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Price Will Surge To $220 Due To ETFs, But Is This Possible? The analyst noted that XRP’s upside potential is more closely tied to real financial infrastructure than to short-lived speculation-driven appreciation. He emphasized that investors often overlook the role of utility, global settlement demands, and deep liquidity, which he believes are the backbone of XRP’s trajectory. These factors set XRP apart from other cryptocurrencies that mainly depend on traders buying at consistently rising prices. 24HRSCRYPTO uses a simple comparison to illustrate the difference that drives cryptocurrency prices. In his view, the Bitcoin price reaches new all-time highs primarily through speculation, while XRP grows through real financial activity supported by its innovative technology. According to the analyst, this disparity is why he believes patience and consistency matter more than hype cycles. The analyst also insists that XRP’s design positions it for long-term use in financial infrastructure where trillions of dollars flow, creating steady demand. He explained that even a modest investment of $5,000 held with discipline until 2030 can grow when supported by real value. This bullish scenario puts a $100 target for XRP within reach as global settlement usage increases. The same logic also supports the analyst’s bold $1,000 price projection. XRP Technical Analysis Signals Growing Strength The XRP price has been dragged down amid the broader market slump, recently crashing to new lows below $2. Despite the altcoin’s weak price action, analysts still hold out hope for a potential market shift to the upside. Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Will Flip Bitcoin As These Developments Play Out In a recent technical analysis, crypto market expert Rose Premium Signals notes that XRP has tapped the same demand zone for the third time, creating a strong triple bottom on the weekly timeframe. The analyst’s chart shows that each time the price returns to the $1.8 to $1.9 demand zone, it triggers strong buying. This repeated pattern confirms the formation of a triple bottom, which she considers a classic high-timeframe reversal signal. The chart also reveals that XRP’s recent downtrend has been controlled and met by a well-defended support level. Rose Premium Signals emphasized that each bounce from this support area has triggered progressively stronger reactions. If momentum is confirmed, she predicts that XRP could surge above $3 in the mid-term. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
Analysts note that the XRP price is showing unusual resilience, as a key metric previously seen before short-term rebounds reappears on its chart. In a new technical analysis, crypto market expert Dom points out that the latest market setup mirrors conditions that have led to at least a 10% surge each time this pattern emerges. Recurring Metric Signals 10% XRP Price Surge In an X post released while XRP was still trading around $2.19, Dom highlighted a familiar technical signal, noting that past appearances of a bid-skew metric on the chart have consistently led to sharp price recoveries. As a reflection of its previous stability, the analyst stated the XRP had displayed incredible strength over the last several days, trading above the $2 level. Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Price Will Surge To $220 Due To ETFs, But Is This Possible? Even as the Bitcoin price plummeted by more than $15,000 in the past few days, the analyst pointed out that XRP had maintained its local low from November 5. The accompanying chart highlights this divergence between XRP and BTC, where the altcoin’s structure holds its range despite the widespread market downturn. Historically, when XRP has shown such strength during periods of Bitcoin weakness, Dom notes that it has signaled countless price reversals. The analyst further highlighted that over the past three months, every time the recurring bid-skew pattern appeared, XRP followed with an upswing of at least 10%. If the historical metric holds, Dom’s analysis suggests there could be a continuation of XRP’s recent resilience, potentially driving its price up by 10% to at least $2.09. At the time of the analyst’s post, this target may have been higher, since XRP was still trading above $2. However, the cryptocurrency has since fallen below that threshold, reaching $1.9 at the time of writing. XRP CVD Data Reveals Controlled Selling Pressure In a subsequent update, Dom shared a second chart, showing that XRP’s price had declined from its previous level of $2.19 to $2.01. He highlighted that this negative price action serves as a reminder that market dynamics don’t always follow textbook patterns. The recent decline in XRP also falls into roughly 15% of cases where typical orderbook signals fail to predict short-term moves. Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Needs To Be To Flip Bitcoin In the Binance spot market, Dom points out evidence of “controlled” selling rather than forced liquidations. Unlike earlier periods where strong bids consistently led to upward price momentum, XRP’s Spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) curves on Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, and other exchanges are sloping downwards. Moreover, among all the crypto exchanges, Binance has recorded the most decline. Dom notes that controlled selling can be seen clearly in the smoothed cumulative volume lines on the chart. He warns that these developments are tricky to time. Moreover, without a sudden climax or sharp liquidation, bottoming could form slowly, making entries based on traditional reversal signals more challenging.

A new projection from an XRP analyst is drawing fresh attention to how quickly spot ETFs could gobble up available tokens if heavy inflows persist. Related Reading: With 42% Of XRP Holders Underwater, Analysts Say The Altcoin Could Crash Even Further The numbers in the model are simple and large, and they force a straightforward question: what happens if steady ETF buying meets a limited public supply? ETF Flows Could Outrun Supply According to analyst Chad Steingraber, one XRP ETF might average $90 million in daily inflows. Multiplying that by 12 ETFs and the result is $1.08 billion each day. Based on his assumptions, if half of those flows create fresh demand for XRP, issuers would need to buy about $504 million worth — roughly 229 million XRP — in a single day. One Day Billion ETF Flow Scenario (assume current price) Single Fund Day Avg – $90Million x12 Funds Avg – $1.08Billion Day 50% Avg Net Share Creation – $504Million Required Acquisition – 229,090,909 XRP —> 1 Day For fun — what if one week: x5 Days – 1,145,454,545 XRP What if… https://t.co/wpdDD1q7bn — Chad Steingraber (@ChadSteingraber) November 19, 2025 Stretch that pace for a week and the total climbs to 1.14 billion XRP. A month pushes it to 4.58 billion XRP. After six months, the model reaches 27.49 billion XRP, which is nearly half of the roughly 60 billion XRP currently in circulation. According to the projection, a full year at those levels could theoretically absorb the entire public supply unless prices move higher and slow purchases. Early Fund Flows Show Demand But Not A Shock Reports show Canary Capital’s XRPC ETF opened with $245 million in day-one inflows, followed by $25.41 million and $8.32 million on the next two days, bringing the fund to $277 million in assets. Franklin Templeton’s EZRP is scheduled to launch on November 24 and market estimates put first-day demand between $150–$250 million. Five other issuers — Bitwise, Grayscale, 21Shares, Valkyrie, and CoinShares — are waiting in line. Community math that assumes seven ETFs has produced a $7.2 billion annual inflow figure. That is a lot of money. But, so far, the market reaction has been muted rather than explosive. Related Reading: The Final Dip? Bitcoin’s Days Under $90K May Be Over According to analysts, fund purchases don’t hit public exchanges right away. Trades settle on a certain cycle, and many issuers buy XRP over-the-counter.

Analyst Nebraskangooner points to a failed breakout from a descending triangle and sets a target near $1.50 — roughly a 30% drop from a recent $2.15 trading level. The chart argument traces a rally to a yearly high of $3.66 in July, a late-October attempt to break higher, and a subsequent break below support around $2.2.

Libra-linked wallets quietly pulled roughly $4 million from a failing memecoin and used part of their stash to pile into Solana, according to on-chain tracking and news reports. Related Reading: Crypto Carnage Continues — Tom Lee Exposes What’s Really Going On The move comes amid fraud probes and renewed scrutiny of the token’s launch, which earlier this year saw large withdrawals that rocked investor confidence and drew legal attention. Wallets Rotate Funds Into Solana Based on on-chain data, two addresses tied to the Libra project — labeled “Libra Deployer (Defcy)” and “Libra Wallet (61yKS)” — bought about $61.5 million worth of SOL at an average price near $135. Before these purchases, the same addresses reportedly held roughly $57 million in USDC, enabling a quick rotation from stablecoin holdings into a major Layer-1 token. Blockchain analysts flagged the activity after tracing a string of transfers that drained the last remaining liquidity from the token’s market. The withdrawals of nearly $4 million followed earlier large cash-outs tied to the coin’s creators that investigators say removed as much as $99 million from circulation at the token’s launch. That wave of exits and the token’s sudden collapse prompted several probes in Argentina and the US. What The Purchases Mean For Markets Market watchers said the swap into SOL is notable because it moves money from a controversial, politically linked memecoin into a mainstream crypto asset. Meanwhile, the political angle has not faded. The Libra token’s launch drew attention after Argentine President Javier Milei publicly promoted the coin and then tried to distance himself as losses mounted. The broader pattern of meme tokens tied to politicians has raised fresh worries about transparency and investor protection, with some lawmakers and regulators taking a closer look. Legal And Control Questions Remain Reports have asked who finally controls the wallets now and whether authorities can freeze the new SOL holdings. Fraud investigations are active, but on-chain moves show the addresses retained control long enough to shift assets across chains.

On Tuesday, the market’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), experienced a notable decline, dropping toward the $89,000 mark, its lowest price in seven months, resulting in over $1 billion in liquidations across the crypto market within the past 24 hours. However, despite this downturn, altcoins have exhibited significant stability when compared to the performance of BTC. Analysts from the Bull Theory have provided insights into why altcoins are holding strong during this period. Bitcoin Dominance Falls In a recent social media post on social media site X (previously Twitter), the analysts asserted that the recent decline in BTC’s value was not characterized by typical selling pressure; instead, it is seen as a result of structured institutional selling. This was reflected in negative flows from Coinbase and the manner in which the candlestick patterns formed. Following this structured selling, panic selling ensued as traders who were already facing losses began to exit their positions hastily. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Alert: This Indicator Signals SELL, Could History Repeat With A 67% Drop? This panic selling led to rapid declines in BTC’s price; however, altcoins, having already approached a state of seller exhaustion, did not experience significant drops. In previous scenarios where BTC has faced downturns, its dominance in the market typically surges as traders flock to Bitcoin for safety. Yet, the current situation is different. Bitcoin’s dominance remains below the 50-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and the market has recently seen a series of red candles. Such a decline in dominance while BTC is in a downward spiral is unusual, suggesting that altcoins are not being entirely abandoned by traders. Ethereum (ETH) has lost its 50-week EMA but is making attempts to reclaim it. Throughout this month, BTC and ETH have experienced nearly identical declines, yet ETH has shown quicker recovery patterns. The analysts highlighted that during previous cycles, whenever Ethereum holds its ground better than Bitcoin during similar downturns, altcoins tend to demonstrate strength as well. Altcoins Show Strength Amid BTC’s Decline The Bull Theory analysts also noted that many altcoin pairs against BTC have rebounded to levels seen before the significant crash that occurred on October 10th, with some even trading above those thresholds. This, according to their analysis, indicates a few key points: altcoins are outperforming BTC, the current pressure feels isolated rather than widespread, and the sell-off lacks broader implications across the market. Related Reading: Crypto Market Wipes Out $1 Trillion Since October: Analyzing The Forces Behind The Crash The Analysts suggest that this combination of factors is one of the strongest signals of a market bottom. When BTC is experiencing a downturn, dominance is declining, and alt/BTC pairs are on the rise, it often points to a capitulation phase for altcoins. As of this writing, Bitcoin has recovered above the $93,000 mark. However, the leading cryptocurrency has erased all of its year-to-date gains, while extending the gap to record levels by 26%.

A recent comment from crypto analyst CryptoTank has brought attention to a long-standing misconception about the size of the XRP community. His post focused on the widely quoted figure of seven million XRP wallets and explained why this number does not represent the number of real holders. The clarification arrives at a time when XRP is now positioned to start to receive institutional inflows from the recently launched Canary Spot XRP ETF. Related Reading: Dogecoin Alert! Price Could Explode Over 2,800%, Analyst Says Why Wallet Count Does Not Equal Holder Count CryptoTank noted that nearly 7 million wallets holding XRP does not translate to millions of people owning the asset. He pointed out that he personally maintains roughly 30 wallets, and most committed XRP investors tend to operate between four and six on average. This means a single individual can appear multiple times in on-chain statistics, making the total wallet count an unreliable indicator of how many real participants exist. The view is simple: the actual number of distinct XRP holders is far lower than many assume, and he believes the true figure sits comfortably below 1 million worldwide. This paints a picture of a community that is still at an early stage compared to other major digital assets. If only a fraction of those seven million addresses belong to unique individuals, then the people who hold XRP today represent a much smaller, far earlier group than estimates imply. CryptoTank described this group as being “way ahead” of the world, meaning that current holders occupy a position that could become far more valuable once broader participation finally arrives. A small holder base means that any meaningful expansion in demand, whether retail or institutional, could have an outsized effect on price because the XRP price has not yet experienced the type of mass inflow seen in previous cycles for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Institutional Expansion With Spot XRP ETF This discussion arrives at a significant moment for XRP, particularly with the introduction of the newly launched Spot XRP ETF in the United States. The product widens XRP’s reach beyond its early holder group, allowing institutions and retail traders in regulated markets to also invest in the cryptocurrency. If the true population of XRP holders is small, the arrival of ETF demand could become a major turning point. As inflows grow, this new access point may mark the beginning of a shift from an early-holder community to a broader institutional and retail audience. Speaking of inflows, Canary’s Spot XRP ETF started its first full trading day with $243.05 million in inflows on November 14, according to data from SoSoValue.

Widely followed Bitcoin figure Lark Davis pushed back on suggestions that Cardano is finished, saying, “what is dead can never die.” At the same time, he pointed out that on-chain activity looks flat. Related Reading: Dogecoin Alert! Price Could Explode Over 2,800%, Analyst Says Cardano (ADA) was trading at $0.51, down 8.8% in the past 24 hours, and it holds a market cap of $18.8 billion. That is the context for a larger question now being asked across crypto circles: can community and hype move a token more than real network use? On-Chain Activity Shows Little Movement Davis admits that user activity is low and DEX volume is thin. Development updates are limited, daily revenue is weak, and stablecoins barely register on the chain. He made his point with humor too, joking that Cardano’s founder Charles Hoskinson has “a beard worth $25 billion.” But the main claim was serious: the chain’s raw on-chain metrics don’t look strong right now. Is Cardano $ADA dead? Here’s my take. ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/oGnVuQuy9N — Lark Davis (@TheCryptoLark) November 12, 2025 Community Strength And Brand Can Still Drive Prices Based on reports, Davis argued that numbers don’t tell the whole story in crypto. He compared Cardano to XRP and noted that a token can have a big market cap despite questions over intrinsic use; XRP once reached about $150 billion in market value. According to Davis, old buyers can return and push a token higher even when network use is low. That is part of why some traders treat certain assets as almost cult-like. Sentiment matters, but momentum matters more than steady on-chain growth in many cases. Technical Signals Point To A Narrow Upside If Key Levels Break TradingView analyst “AltcoinPiooners” has highlighted recent price action and a possible shift in market pressure. Reports show ADA tested support at $0.53 after hitting $0.60 on November 11 and falling the next day. Analysts See A Clear Path, But Risks Remain According to the analyst, ADA could move to $0.62 and then to $0.65 if $0.60 is cleared, a move that would equal more than a 16% gain from current levels. Reports also revealed that Cardano whales added 348 million ADA over four days while the price dipped below $0.50 recently. On the flip side, a failure at support could send ADA down toward $0.52. That risk was flagged by the same analyst. Related Reading: XRP Earns Academic Praise: University Study Calls It ‘Gold In Your Hands’ Although the debate around weak usage continues, reports have stressed that Cardano is far from dead.

According to reports, a bipartisan draft bill in the US Senate has reignited arguments about whether XRP is a commodity or a security. Related Reading: XRP Has Held Its Ground As Most Altcoins Fall, Market Observers Say The Bipartisan Market Structure Draft would divide oversight: the Commodity Futures Trading Commission would police digital commodities like XRP and Bitcoin, while the Securities and Exchange Commission would keep authority over traditional securities. Proponents say the move could remove years of legal uncertainty for many tokens. Durham Study Frames XRP As Commodity Based on reports, academic work from Durham University has entered the debate. Ludovico Rella published a paper in the Journal Of Cultural Economy five years ago that examined how money works as both a tool and a social system. Rella used Ripple and XRP as main examples and described XRP as a “radical form of commodity money.” He also used the term “digital metallism” to show how XRP can be seen as a self-standing asset that holds value without relying on company liabilities or shares. What stands out most is his vivid description of XRP as “like gold in your hands” — a digital asset designed to be “the most liquid of assets on the XRP Ledger.” XRP’s Dual Role In Payments Rella argued that XRP plays two clear roles. It behaves like a digital asset with commodity-like traits and it also serves as part of Ripple’s payment network, acting as a bridge asset for moving money across borders. The study traces Ripple’s path from a trust-based mutual credit system to a blockchain-powered payments network focused on speed and liquidity. That historical arc helps explain why some users treat XRP as an independent store of value while others use it as a tool for cross-border transfers. Lawmakers Push For Clarity Reports have disclosed that senators behind the draft want to make legal lines cleaner so firms and markets know which rules apply. Many in the XRP community reacted quickly, pointing to the 2023 court ruling that found XRP was not a security as evidence that the token belongs under CFTC oversight. Commentators in the space argue the combination of that court decision and new legislation could finally put the question to rest. Related Reading: Dogecoin Alert! Price Could Explode Over 2,800%, Analyst Says Market Moves Add Weight To The Debate Data cited by community members has been used to underline the argument. According to reports, XRP now processes over $5 trillion a year, and Ripple executives have spoken about CBDC pilots and network growth that could place XRP at the center of large payment flows. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has set a target of capturing 14% of SWIFT’s $150 trillion volume, a share that would represent about $40 trillion by 2030 if reached. Price action has followed the chatter: XRP traded at $2.50, up from $2.40 and showing a 4% gain at the time of the latest report. Daily trade volume rose by 52%, with nearly $5.8 billion in XRP changing hands. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView
Institutional capital is circling back to Solana (SOL) as Spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) open the gates to a new wave of inflows. Solana’s resurgence has caught the attention of the broader crypto community, recording consistent daily inflows and experiencing momentum it has not seen in months. The question now remains whether this steady buildup of institutional accumulation could eventually propel SOL’s price toward the $300 mark. Solana Records 11 Days Of Consecutive ETF Inflows The Solana price is currently hovering above $156, roughly half of its ATH of just over $294 set in January 2025. Over the past few months, the altcoin has experienced significant volatility, including a 20% decline in the last month. During this period, there was little news to drive the market. However, the recent surge in SOL ETF activity could signal a potential turnaround for Solana’s price. Related Reading: Institutional Investors Are Buying XRP And Solana At An Accelerated Rate While They Dump Bitcoin According to data from SoSoValue, US Spot Solana ETFs have witnessed a cumulative total net inflow of $350.47 million in less than two weeks. This suggests that institutions have been buying Solana ETFs every single day since its launch, signaling confidence in the current volatile market. Today, the daily total net inflow of Solana ETFs reached $7.98 million, approximately $1.2 million higher than the previous day’s $6.78 million. SoSoValue’s chart shows that the highest daily inflow during the past 11 days occurred on November 3, when Solana ETFs drew an impressive $70.05 million from both Bitwise and Grayscale. Bitwise’s BSOL ETF has been the primary driver of this steady inflow, accounting for $331.74 million of the total, while Grayscale’s GSOL ETF contributed a modest $18.72 million. The data underscores that institutions are not only showing interest in these new crypto investment products but are actively establishing long-term positions in Solana exposure. Considering Bitcoin ETFs drive the cryptocurrency’s price to former ATHs in 2024, Solana could see a similar response if ETF inflows remain strong and the broader market sentiment stays positive. While it remains unclear whether the cryptocurrency can reach $300, the steady accumulation from institutions provides a constructive foundation for future price appreciation. Grayscale Expands Trading Access With Solana ETF New reports reveal that Grayscale has added another layer of optimism to the SOL news by announcing that options trading for its Solana Trust ETF is not yet live. This provides investors with additional opportunities to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency, manage risk, and trade around Solana’s price movements. Related Reading: Solana To Dethrone Bitcoin And Ethereum? Here’s How The First SOL ETFs Are Faring Grayscale has announced that the Solana Trust will offer 100% staking, zero fees, and an average staking rewards rate exceeding 7%, making it an attractive option for investors seeking both exposure and yield. As Grayscale’s new moves strengthen Solana’s presence in the digital asset landscape, the introduction of options trading could also improve liquidity for the cryptocurrency.

Some analysts expect XRP to climb sharply from its current price of $2.39. According to posts on X by a popular analyst known as Egrag Crypto, the coin is trading at the bottom of a descending triangle and could stage a strong rally in the coming weeks. Related Reading: Could Shiba Inu Triple? Analyst Sees 200% Move Coming Analysts Point To Historical Setups According to Egrag, two earlier runs give the pattern some weight. He compared the present chart to moves in 2017 and 2021. Back then, XRP went from $0.097 to $3.84 across a roughly three-month span around 2017–2018. In 2021, it rose from below $0.45 to above $1.90 in two monthly candles. Based on those moves, he expects a comeback within four to six weeks and projects gains of about 300% to 1,400% from today’s price. #XRP – ⚔️ Weakness? Or Just Testing the Faith of Bulls? ???? Lately, I’ve seen many #XRP Bulls turning #Bearish ????, frustrated by the sideways chop and the boring price action. They say things like “I see weakness on the HTF.” Let me tell you what I see ????️????️: I see traders… pic.twitter.com/5WTibse9r7 — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) November 11, 2025 “Mark my words: XRP will usually melt faces within 4–6 weeks, and history backs it up with evidence,” Egrag, who put a target range of $10 to $37 for this cycle, said. “I see traders chickening out, scared to lose their 10x gains. And that’s fine , protecting profits is smart,” he added. Other market voices have echoed parts of that view, reposting Egrag’s chart and wrote that XRP is “busy testing bulls’ faith.” ETF Filing Moves Forward Meanwhile, according to filings and reporting, Canary Capital has taken a key step toward launching a spot XRP ETF in the US. The firm filed a Form 8-A, a move that, once Nasdaq signs off, would let the fund list its shares. Crypto reporter Eleanor Terrett said the filing will become effective at 5:30 p.m. ET once Nasdaq certifies it, and trading is set to start when US markets open on Thursday, November 14, 2025. That development matters because an ETF can make an asset easier for many investors to buy. It does not mean prices will automatically skyrocket. It does mean more attention, and that can change market behavior in ways that are hard to predict. ????NEW: @CanaryFunds has filed its Form 8-A. This is the final step before it goes effective at 5:30 PM ET Wednesday once the Nasdaq certifies the listing. When that happens, the last hurdle is cleared and the first $XRP spot ETF will be set to launch Thursday at market open. pic.twitter.com/mXvkrrXbiJ — Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) November 11, 2025 Short-Term Data And Market Tone At press time, XRP was trading around $2.39, down about 3% over the last 24 hours. Technical traders focus on where the price sits inside the triangle pattern and watch volume for confirmation of a breakout. Related Reading: XRP ETF Canary Takes Flight: 8-A Filing Clears Path To Nasdaq Listing Some see the structure as a setup for a large move either way. Others point out that the market environment today is not the same as in 2017 or 2021, given bigger trading volumes and different regulatory factors. The ETF timing adds a new element to watch. If Nasdaq approves Canary Capital’s Form 8-A as reported, the first spot XRP shares could start trading on Thursday. Markets often react to such milestones, but how big that reaction will be is unknown. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView
The Bitcoin dominance has remained quite high over the last year, holding firmly above 50% and preventing altcoins from making any meaningful recovery. Even now, the dominance has climbed close to 60%, showing that Bitcoin is still determining the direction of the entire market. However, there has been a development that could change the trajectory of the Bitcoin dominance and put altcoins in the spotlight once again, highlighted by crypto analyst Unichartz. Bitcoin Dominance Breaks Below 50 EMA Since 2023, the Bitcoin dominance has remained firmly above the 50-Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), showing immense strength around this level. Even through market crashes, the digital asset has maintained its dominance, and with each passing year, the trendline has continued to rise. As long as the Bitcoin dominance stayed above the 50 EMA, it showed it would continue to dominate, but this is changing now. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Derivatives Market Is Taking Off Again, But What Does This Mean For Price? According to the post by Unichartz, it shows that the Bitcoin dominance has now crashed below the 50-Day EMA for the first time in almost one year. This comes as the dominance lost its footing above 60% and has failed to reclaim its position above it. Naturally, there has been an attempt to reclaim the 50-Day EMA once again. However, this attempt failed after the brief surge above 63% in early October was thwarted by the market-wide crash on October 10. Since then, the dominance has remained below the 50 EMA and has now spent a full consecutive month below this critical level. What This Means For The Crypto Market Historically, the altcoin season has only begun when the Bitcoin dominance has seen a decline. This trend has held strong through the years, and even through the current cycle, has prevented the rise of another altcoin season. Related Reading: Dogecoin Does Not Have Potential For A Strong Move Upward, Analyst Says However, with the crash below the 50 EMA, the analyst predicts that the Bitcoin dominance is about to see a massive crash. It shows that the dominance will fall below 40% if it fails to reclaim the 50 EMA soon. Such a crash would give room for altcoins to actually run as the focus moves away from Bitcoin. With the Altcoin Season Index sitting at a low 31 at the time of this writing, it shows that a crash in the Bitcoin dominance is sorely needed for altcoins to rise again. However, the analyst explains that if the dominance does reclaim the 50 EMA, then Bitcoin’s lead may be extended for longer before attention rotates back to altcoin.

XRP has shown far less movement than many other tokens during a recent sell-off in the altcoin market. According to Coingecko data, the token traded around $2.50 in the first days of November before pulling back to about $2.48. Reports have disclosed that its market capitalization sits near $148 billion. Related Reading: Trump’s Bitcoin Bet Grows: American Bitcoin Now Holds Over 4,000 BTC XRP Stands Its Ground Community voice 0xKOL pointed out that XRP’s calm performance stuck out while other alternative tokens were dropping.

Based on reports, traders and analysts began examining both who owns XRP and how those holders behave. it’s a weird alt bear market XRP just chilling at 2.5$ honestly curious on what changed in market structure and holder base such that this is a thing? pic.twitter.com/J83FcO1UHn — @0xKOL__ (????, ????) (@0xKNL__) November 2, 2025 Other analysts explained that XRP’s steadiness comes from who holds it. They noted that, unlike many recent tokens driven by traders chasing fast gains, XRP is largely owned by seasoned investors who plan to keep their coins for the long haul. Price Moves And Recent Drops Put Numbers In View In terms or price action, the token has fallen about 6% over the past month and about 8% in the previous week. Its drop from the $2.50 region to roughly $2.47 shows some weakening, but market watchers note the decline is smaller than what many other altcoins experienced in the same stretch. Institutional Research Links Ripple Value To XRP Holdings Meanwhile, a February 2024 study by global investment bank Houlihan Lokey has reappeared in community conversations. Researcher SMQKE highlighted the paper, which carried the title “Digital Assets: How Can Valuation Differ From Traditional Assets?” The report argued that for some blockchain firms, the token itself holds much of the economic upside, and in Ripple’s case a large part of corporate value may be tied to its XRP reserves rather than to ordinary equity alone. Market Events May Have Helped Support The Token Those watching prices say several wider events likely gave XRP extra support. Banking sector stress, a favorable court outcome for Ripple, and broader moves such as the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs are among the items that many traders point to. Related Reading: Could Shiba Inu Triple? Analyst Sees 200% Move Coming These developments, combined with a backing of long-term holders, have been cited as reasons XRP’s swings were smaller than the rest of the altcoin pack. For now, XRP remains one of the top four cryptocurrencies by market cap, and that status keeps it under close watch from both retail and institutional participants.

The Shiba Inu derivatives market is again heating up, providing a bullish outlook for the SHIB price. This comes as the crypto market rebounds, with SHIB also recording notable gains in the past few days. Shiba Inu Derivatives Market Heats Up With Rising Open Interest CoinGlass data shows that the Shiba Inu derivatives market is heating up, with open interest rising as much as 15% on November 8. This indicates that traders are again betting on a significant price movement from the foremost meme coin. Notably, SHIB broke above the psychological $0.000010 level amid this rising open interest. Related Reading: Here’s Why Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Prices Are Crashing, Is A Recovery Possible? Further data from CoinGlass shows the long/short ratio is 0.9, indicating that more traders are betting on a Shiba Inu price surge than a decline. Meanwhile, this development comes as the crypto market rebounds from last week’s crash, which saw BTC drop below $100,000, dragging SHIB and other altcoins down. SHIB is up over 8% since last week. Fundamentals, such as the application for a Shiba Inu ETF, have sparked this rebound in SHIB’s price. This is expected to drive institutional capital into the SHIB ecosystem, potentially triggering price rallies. Furthermore, the U.S. government shutdown could end soon, which is also bullish for the SHIB price alongside the broader crypto market. From a technical analysis perspective, crypto analyst SHIB Knight noted that Shiba Inu is slowly accumulating and forming a bullish pattern. He added that once it breaks out of this low range, it will go higher. However, Santiment data shows that SHIB whales are still on the sidelines and are not accumulating more coins. The whales’ transactions (transactions above $100,000) have been on a downtrend, with most daily transactions over the last two weeks in the single digits. SHIB Eyes Rally To $0.0003 Crypto analyst Javon Marks has predicted that the Shiba Inu price could rally to $0.00003. This came as he noted that SHIB looks to be already broken out of a key accumulation. He added that with prices having shown bull divergences earlier this year, the meme coin may be preparing for a surge of around 200%, which will lead to a retest of the resistance in the $0.000032 range. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Team Shares Major News, Could This Trigger A SHIB Bull Run? A positive for SHIB is the parabolic increase in the Shiba Inu burn rate. Shibburn data shows that the burn rate has increased by 145952.08% in the last 24 hours, with 621 million tokens burned during this period. This is a positive, given how these SHIB burns remove more coins from the circulating supply and could trigger a price increase as demand skyrockets. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001005, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

According to technical commentary from analyst Javon Marks, Shiba Inu appears to have left a long accumulation zone and may be entering a fresh bullish phase. The token first showed a breakout in March 2024 and pushed up toward $0.000046. It reached about $0.00003328 on December 8, 2024, before falling hard in 2025. Related Reading: Trump’s Bitcoin Bet Grows: American Bitcoin Now Holds Over 4,000 BTC Analyst Points To Accumulation Breakout Marks highlights early bullish signals, including what he calls bullish divergences on the MACD that showed up earlier this year. Based on reports, he expects a move back into the $0.000032 area. He even projects a potential 200% rally to that level from where the token trades now. From the current quoted price of $0.00001009, a push to $0.000080 would mean a rise of roughly 700% by his estimate. Those are large swings. Traders should note the math. $SHIB (Shiba Inu) looks to be already broken out of a key accumulation and prices, which showed bull divergences early this year, can be preparing here for an ~200% move to test a resistance in the $0.000032s again. pic.twitter.com/Xw104EUT75 — JAVON⚡️MARKS (@JavonTM1) November 9, 2025 Derivatives Activity Shows Traders Positioning For A Move Derivatives data adds another dimension. Reports show about $76 million in open interest tied to Shiba Inu contracts. Open interest jumped 15% over the weekend, and exchanges recorded 7.38 trillion tokens as outstanding futures exposure. Gate.io accounted for 47% of that total, which equals about $36 million on that platform alone. On a day of rising bets, SHIB hit a high of $0.00001032. Volatility Has Been Extreme SHIB’s path since December 2024 has been bumpy. After peaking above $0.00003 in late 2024, the token plunged to roughly $0.0000075 during the flash crash on October 10, 2025. It later recovered to about $0.00001003. Rapid moves like these show both the risk and the chance for big short-term gains. Positions in futures can make price swings bigger. What The Signals Might Mean For Traders According to the chart reading, breaking past $0.000032 would open a clear resistance band and could attract more buyers. Some market players will treat that level as a key test. Others will watch open interest and exchange concentration for signs of overstretch. Moves driven by sentiment and leverage can reverse quickly. Gains may be fast. Losses can be fast too.

XRP has spent the past week on the continuation of a downtrend from the previous week, slipping from above $2.50 before rebounding around $2.12 and now hovering around $2.30. The price action reflects a market struggling to find direction, caught between bullish optimism and lingering selling pressure. Despite the broader slowdown in its price action, technical analysis shows that XRP is still displaying a resilient structure on the charts that maintains its critical support levels. According to Egrag Crypto, a popular analyst known for his long-term technical outlooks on XRP, the token may soon enter what will become the most explosive fifth wave yet. Related Reading: XRP’s Price Doesn’t Match Its Growing Real-World Use, Study Finds XRP Elliott Wave Analysis: ‘The Power Of 5’ Egrag Crypto’s latest technical analysis on the social media platform X points to the fact that XRP is in the final stages of its fourth impulse wave, which is a corrective wave based on the popular Elliott Wave Theory. Notably, this movement is now setting up for the beginning of the fifth wave, which is a bullish impulse under the same theory. Looking at previous cycles on the 5-day candlestick timeframe chart, particularly during 2017 and 2021, showed that similar setups came before massive upward surges in XRP’s price. The analyst’s chart displays a repeating structure of five-wave patterns, each representing major bullish impulses in the token’s history. The chart also reflects the distinct cyclical rhythm of XRP’s price behavior over the years. Each major impulsive phase (waves 1, 3, and 5) has always been followed by smaller corrective waves (2 and 4), a structure that continues to repeat with precision. The overlapping bands in cyan and pink, representing exponential moving averages, now point to XRP consolidating within a strong support region around $2.20, which indicates that the fourth impulse wave is coming to an end. XRP Technical Analysis: Source @egragcrypto on X Analyst Says Don’t Fight It By Egrag Crypto’s measure, the ongoing consolidation might be setting the stage for a similar move to double-digit prices if the fifth wave unfolds as projected. The visual projection marks potential Fibonacci extensions of 1.272, 1.414, 1.618, and 2.618 at $4.789, $5.515, $6.755, and $18.259 as possible long-term targets once the fifth wave takes hold. These levels may act as resistance points in the impending bull phase because they resemble the wave geometry that drove XRP’s earlier rallies in 2017 and 2021. Interestingly, the analyst also referenced how skepticism often peaks before major rallies. He reminded followers of a trader who lost $30 million shorting XRP during its last major uptrend in 2024. As such, the analyst concluded by urging traders not to “fight the fifth wave” but to “ride it.” Related Reading: Get Ready — The End Of November Will Be Massive For XRP, CEO Says At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.27, down by 1.6% and 9.2% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively.

Canary Capital ETF Timetable Canary Capital’s spot ETF is set to go live after an updated S-1 filing, with a possible automatic launch 20 days later on November 13. Reports from the stage cited Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, as confirming the update. That filing removed an amendment clause that would have given the SEC greater control over the product’s effective date. Based on reports, the timeline could still shift if the SEC returns questions or if government operations change, but for now November 13 stands out as a key date. Retail And Whale Activity Cool CryptoQuant charts show retail trading activity has cooled since the big sell-off on October 10, when about $19 billion was wiped out in a single day. Small investors have pulled back into a neutral zone, which some analysts read as cautious waiting rather than exit. At the same time, large on-chain moves to exchanges have dropped sharply — from roughly 49,000 on October 25 and 44,000 on October 11 to about 800 on a recent Friday. That fall in whale-to-exchange transactions suggests fewer big sellers are moving funds to exchanges right now. “The last half of November is going to be big for $XRP and @Ripple,” said @TeucriumETFs CEO @GilbertieSal during a recap of #RippleSwell Day 1.

Teucrium CEO Sal Gilbertie told audiences that the last half of November could be very important for XRP, tying that view to broader trends in tokenization and institutional flows. Citibank projections cited at the event say tokenized assets could hit trillions within five years, and other panelists mentioned planned moves by traditional finance players. Based on reports, Circle also has plans to begin trading public equities in early December, which some see as another nudge toward more mainstream involvement. Advice From Market Players Gilbertie urged holders to focus on the long term. “Believe in it. Don’t worry about volatility. It will even out as adoption comes and more institutional money enters,” he said. That view was shared by other commentators who pointed out that ETF listings and institutional onboarding have historically changed how markets price assets.

The XRP market is experiencing a new wave of large transactions as long-term holders adjust their positions. Over $300 million worth of XRP has recently been moved from crypto exchanges, signaling a shift in investor sentiment. While such withdrawals often suggest accumulation, current on-chain data present a mixed picture, indicating both opportunity and caution. Related Reading: Bitcoin Near Breaking Point As It Tests Its Most Crucial Support Line—Analyst Over $300 Million XRP Exit Crypto Exchanges According to on-chain data from Glassnode, investors have withdrawn more than 140 million XRP, valued at approximately $309 million, from crypto exchanges. At the same time, XRP’s Long-Term Holder Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (LTH NUPL) chart has revealed a more complex backdrop. The recent exchange withdrawals indicate a potential accumulation trend, suggesting that investors have begun buying XRP and are likely moving it into their respective wallets. Given the earlier wave of selling by long and short-term holders, this renewed accumulation could serve as a brief respite from the downward pressure. Notably, the LTH NUPL indicator has declined and is now approaching critical levels around 0.5. This area has been identified as a historical threshold where market optimism tends to give way to weakness. In previous cycles, a drop below the 0.5 level has often led to XRP price corrections, as long-term holders began selling and securing profits. This cycle appears no different. The LTH NUPL decline indicates that many long-term investors may be entering a distribution phase. Despite the bullishness of large-scale withdrawals, the underlying market sentiment remains cautious. A major reason for this could be the widespread liquidation events that occurred in the crypto market over the past few weeks. Earlier, on October 10, the XRP price flash crashed below $1 but retraced back above $2 within 24 hours after $19 billion was wiped out from the market. On November 3, the crypto market experienced another bleed, with about $1.4 billion liquidated in a single day. As the market recovers slowly, so does XRP. Its price is currently up 4.78% after falling more than 16% over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap. XRP Price Eyes $8 Target If Key Support Holds In a separate analysis, pseudonymous crypto analyst ‘Cantonese Cat’ has shared a bullish outlook using Fibonacci Extensions to project XRP’s next move and long-term trajectory. On the monthly chart, XRP is testing the 0.886 Fib level near $2.25—a critical support area that has previously served as a foundation for major upward moves. Cantonese Cat argues that as long as this level remains intact, XRP’s next impulse could target the 1.272 Fibonacci Extension around $8.29, representing a 260% increase from current levels above $2.3. Related Reading: ‘Sell Your House, Clothes And Buy XRP’ — Solana Exec’s Wild Advice Goes Viral The chart also shows earlier resistance near $3.31, aligning with the 1.0 Fib level. If XRP successfully reclaims this zone, it could confirm its bullish structure. The subsequent extensions, highlighted by the analyst at $13.38 (1.414 Fib) and $26.63 (1.618 Fib), represent potential long-term target zones if momentum continues.

The price of Zcash is recording one of the most astonishing rallies in the crypto market despite the ongoing bearish conditions. Over the past few weeks, we have seen a resurgence in the privacy narrative. Zcash (ZEC), one of the oldest and best-known privacy coins, is up by about 700% since September. The pump in recent days is notable, as it comes at a time when the entire crypto industry is being dragged down due to Bitcoin’s decline towards $100,000. It raises the question of how Zcash is managing this performance, and there are different theories on social media as to why this is happening. Related Reading: XRP’s Price Doesn’t Match Its Growing Real-World Use, Study Finds What’s Going On With Zcash? Zcash (ZEC) has risen over 700% since September 2025, reaching as high as $728 on November 7, according to data from CoinGecko. This rally comes ahead of its mid-November halving, which will halve block rewards to 0.78125 ZEC, tightening supply like Bitcoin’s events. According to a recent report analysis by Galaxy Digital, Zcash’s extraordinary rally can also be attributed to a revived interest in privacy within the crypto space. The report noted that although Zcash’s underlying fundamentals have not drastically changed, perceptions of its zero-knowledge proof system have. More than 30% of the coin’s total supply is now locked within shielded pools, representing an all-time high for private usage on the network. This rally means that some users are increasingly seeking privacy-centric solutions as mainstream networks grow more transparent and subject to surveillance. Another factor contributing to Zcash’s rise is the recent tech upgrades to its network. The introduction of the new Zashi wallet, which makes private transactions far more user-friendly, has expanded Zcash’s accessibility to a wider audience. Prominent voices like Naval Ravikant and Arthur Hayes have championed Zcash’s role in the evolving privacy revolution, calling it “the missing piece for Bitcoin.” According to the BitMEX co-founder, Zcash has the potential to quickly achieve 10% to 20% of the value of Bitcoin, which would place its price between $10,000 and $20,000. Interestingly, Arthur Hayes’ Maelstrom fund now holds ZEC as its second-largest liquid asset. Can ZCASH Keep Pumping? Despite the euphoria, some analysts caution that Zcash’s dramatic rally may not be entirely rooted in long-term fundamentals. Economist Lyn Alden described the surge as a coordinated token pump, warning investors not to become exit liquidity. A crypto commentator known as Bit Paine on X suggested that the current Zcash rally may be a coordinated pump-and-dump, arguing that manipulators likely targeted the coin because privacy tokens had their big moment in 2017, meaning many new investors may be unaware of the pattern, and privacy-focused assets like Zcash make it easier for bad actors to conceal their activities from regulators. Related Reading: Bitcoin Near Breaking Point As It Tests Its Most Crucial Support Line—Analyst There is also looming regulatory pressure over privacy coins, especially after the European Parliament’s vote to restrict listings of tokens like Zcash and Monero on regional exchanges beginning in 2027. At the time of writing, Zcash is trading at $580.67, having retraced from its intraday high of $734.96. Featured image from Vecteezy, chart from TradingView
Solana Foundation manager Vibhu Norby jumped into a heated XRP discussion on X, adding a sharp dose of humor to an already intense online conversation. The debate began when Tradeship University founder Cameron Scrubs urged followers to sell all their other crypto assets and buy XRP. Related Reading: Bitcoin Near Breaking Point As It Tests Its Most Crucial Support Line—Analyst XRP Proponents Urge Bold Bets Scrubs, known for extreme XRP optimism, previously predicted that XRP would surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum within five years. He reignited that vision this week, telling investors to sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, ZCash, and Dogecoin — essentially, “sell everything” — and move into XRP. The statement quickly went viral, drawing reactions from multiple crypto communities. X user Caspian responded, saying it wasn’t meant literally. He added that the point was to align belief with action — if investors truly see value in XRP, they should act with conviction. “Own your stack, protect it, and stay ready,” he wrote. Sell your house. Sell your bed. Sell your kids. Sell your cardboard box. Sell your clothes. Buy XRP. — vibhu (@vibhu) November 7, 2025 ‘Sell Your House, Bed, Kids, And Buy XRP’ Vibhu Norby joined the thread with satire. He joked, “Sell your house, bed, kids, cardboard box, clothes, and buy XRP,” making it clear he was mocking the hype rather than endorsing it. Another user, Slorg, claimed he had already gone all in and asked what step to take next. Norby replied that the next move was to wait for major firms like BlackRock and Mastercard to tokenize trillions in assets, potentially sending XRP to $1,000. Despite the humor, the exchange highlighted the community’s real optimism about institutional involvement and the possibility of massive price growth. Ripple Funding And Institutional Moves Ripple added fuel to the discussion by announcing a $500 million funding round at its Swell 2025 event. Investors included Galaxy Digital, Fortress, Brevan Howard, and Pantera Capital. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the investment confirmed faith in a business “built on the foundation of XRP.” Reports also showed Ripple partnered with Mastercard to use RLUSD on XRPL for fiat settlement, while Ripple Prime is integrating XRP for institutional transfers. These developments gave long-term holders more reason to stay confident in XRP. Holding XRP is the hardest part because conviction gets tested in every wave of volatility. But when you understand the fundamentals, the liquidity infrastructure @Ripple is building and how $XRP underpins the next phase of global settlement, patience becomes your leverage. — Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) November 5, 2025 Holding XRP Challenges Investor Conviction Meanwhile, Versan Aljarrah, the founder of Black Swan Capitalist, acknowledges that it is a constant emotional struggle holding XRP. He explains how investor patience is tested in every market cycle, and the challenge of remaining dedicated to your investment when the price moves materially can be one of the hardest things to do as an XRP holder. Related Reading: XRP’s Price Doesn’t Match Its Growing Real-World Use, Study Finds Engineer Vincent Van Code responded, saying that it requires “serious conviction – or mental illness” to not sell when the price moves. It comes as no surprise that the mixture of irony, crazy predictions and institutional news keeps XRP relevant. For some of them, the “sell your house” comments are simply an exaggeration, but it showcases the passion and belief of the XRP community, which has planned and endorsed their position, and has continued to show the strength of their will no matter how volatile XRP price action has remained.

According to Bayberry Capital, XRP’s market price does not match its real-world role. The hedge fund firm argues the token is often judged like a speculative coin when it actually serves as plumbing for moving value between financial systems. Related Reading: Bitcoin Near Breaking Point As It Tests Its Most Crucial Support Line—Analyst The research compares the current stage of XRP to early internet infrastructure — quiet work laying the base while prices drift — and says many investors miss that deeper build-out. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has also stressed the token’s role across multiple settlement uses, reports show. Bayberry Capital Warns Mispricing Reports have disclosed that the investment house sees XRP as a liquidity tool, not just a tradable asset. It notes that institutional integrations, compliance work, and deep technical links take time to appear in prices. The firm believes the token’s recent price steadiness reflects growing backbone work, rather than lack of demand. Market observers are urged to look past headlines and volatility and weigh actual settlement activity. According To Onchain Data, Traders Are Shifting Based on CryptoQuant data, open interest in BTC and ETH positions fell within the last 72 hours while XRP accumulation rose. That pattern is being read as traders rotating toward assets with clearer utility. The shift does not prove a long-term trend, but it does show changing flows in the short term.

The same actor moved $7 million in USDC into that DEX before placing the trade. At the same time, XRP’s price swung: after falling more than 13% to a low of $2.06 on Nov. 4, it climbed 6.27% the next day and reached $2.41. These opposing forces — fresh demand and a major short — are creating pressure around the current recovery attempt.

According to on-chain data, the XRP Ledger recorded a sharp influx of new addresses over a two-day span this week. Santiment reported 21,595 new wallets created in 48 hours — the biggest jump in eight months. The move came as XRP dropped to $2.06 before rallying back to about $2.33, a roughly 13% gain from that low. Related Reading: ‘Good News’ Finally Arrives For SHIB Army As Team Unveils New Update Surge In Wallets Draws Attention Based on reports, the spike in wallet creation has captured market attention because it breaks a recent pattern of heavy selling. Data showed long-term holders were offloading about 260 million XRP per day during last month’s sell-off. Now, fresh wallets are appearing while prices recover. That combination suggests different groups of traders may be acting at the same time — some cutting losses, others buying the dip. Community figures point out that total wallets now stand at 7.226 million and are moving toward 7.5 million, according to an XRP Rich List resource. ???? XRP’s price has bounced back, and users who bought the dip have enjoyed a nice +12% jump in the past 24 hours. Notably, XRP Ledger data indicates there were 21,595 new $XRP wallets created in a 48-hour span in the past couple days, the highest level of growth in 8 months. pic.twitter.com/vkGLwLJjrk — Santiment (@santimentfeed) November 5, 2025 A similar but milder burst of network growth was followed by a climb to a yearly high of $3.66. That historical link is being watched. Still, new wallet creation is a signal rather than proof of sustained buying. Some of the incoming addresses can belong to exchanges, custodians, or automated services. So the makeup of new wallets matters as much as the number. ETF Timetable Could Add Fuel Reports have disclosed that an XRP spot ETF might get a US launch date of November 13. ETF talk has a history of drawing institutional interest into crypto markets, and rumors alone can move prices. In this case, analysts in the XRP community are tying the wallet growth to expectations surrounding the ETF. One community analyst, Egrag Crypto, has outlined bullish targets, calling one level “Macro Wick 1” at $10 and another, much higher, “Macro Wick 2” at $50. Those are his technical scenarios, offered as possibilities rather than certainties. Market Volatility Still Present The wider crypto market showed how fast things can swing between November 3 and 4, when the total market cap fell by nearly $350 billion and XRP slid about 13.16% to around $2.20. That pullback is fresh in traders’ minds. Short-term gains can be steep. For example, a $10,000 buy placed two days ago would already have gained about $1,300 after the rebound. Yet big moves work both ways in turbulent markets. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Grip Holds — But Signs Of Weakness Are Piling Up: Analyst For now, the picture is mixed. New wallets and a 13% bounce are encouraging signs of renewed interest. Historical precedents and analyst forecasts add to bullish narratives. But wallet growth alone does not guarantee sustained price rises. Investors should watch where the new wallets are concentrated, monitor daily sell volumes, and pay attention to confirmed news about an ETF. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
Reports have disclosed that crypto entrepreneur and Tron founder Justin Sun moved a sizable amount of Ethereum into a liquid-staking service this week. Related Reading: Everyone’s Giving Up On Bitcoin? Crypto Exec Says That’s Exactly Why It Will Rise According to on-chain data, about 45,000 ETH — worth roughly $154.5 million at the time — was shifted from the lending protocol Aave into the Lido Finance staking pool. The transfer was public and traceable on the blockchain. It drew quick attention because of its scale and timing. Sun’s Public Wallets Grow The funds had been sitting on Aave before the move. They were then deposited into Lido, which issues staked-ETH tokens that let holders keep a form of liquidity while their ETH is staked. Based on reports, Sun’s public wallets now show around $534 million in ETH holdings. That figure has reportedly surpassed his holdings in TRON’s native token, TRX, which are estimated near $519 million. Market watchers say the swap signals a shift in how some big holders are allocating capital. JUSTIN SUN JUST STAKED OVER $150M OF ETH [ARKHAM INSIGHTS] Justin Sun just withdrew $154.5M of ETH (45,000 ETH) from AAVE and deposited it to Lido Staking.

We found this through… pic.twitter.com/rwU3H5uIKu — Arkham (@arkham) November 5, 2025 Bigger Stakes, Bigger Questions Analysts reacted fast. Some see the action as a vote of confidence in ETH’s yield options and protocol security. Others raised the point that large sums routed into single liquid-staking providers can add to centralization risks on the network. Price remains unpredictable. Also, staking carries its own risks — smart contract bugs, validator downtime, and slashing events are possibilities that investors must weigh. Market Context And Price Action Based on reports, ETH was trading near $3,389 when this movement was noted. The token had slipped about 12% in the previous week, which makes big staking flows more visible because large buys or internal transfers stand out against falling prices. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Grip Holds — But Signs Of Weakness Are Piling Up: Analyst In the broader crypto landscape, institutional and whale moves into staking have been increasing over the past months. Lido remains one of the largest liquid-staking providers, and its market share is watched closely by both traders and protocol researchers. Signals Versus Motive Actions by the Tron boss Sun could be long-term, aimed at yield, or at a broader portfolio shuffle. There is something notable in the transfer, but it is only a piece to a bigger picture— including holdings, trading, and trends beyond the broader indirect markets.

According to recent posts from market commentators, XRP has fallen back under pressure as Bitcoin trades near $103,000 and hovers around the $101,000 support level. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Grip Holds — But Signs Of Weakness Are Piling Up: Analyst A crypto expert, Coach JV, told followers that seeing XRP trade under $2 would be a “blessing” for disciplined buyers. Reports have disclosed that XRP gave up the $2.5 level and now faces bears that could push it to new lows below $2. XRP Drops Near Key Support Based on numbers from market trackers, the broader crypto market lost about $350 billion in total value between Nov. 3 and 4. XRP was hit hard in that stretch, falling about 14% to roughly $2.2. Analysts suggested those who missed buying under $2 might get another chance if current weakness continues. Momentum has been driven by Bitcoin’s pullback, and that pressure has been passed down to many altcoins, XRP included. Bitcoin under $100K? XRP at $2? What a blessing. Most see disappointment. The disciplined see accumulation. This is where the patient become wealthy while others chase green candles later, we’ll already be sitting on house money. GOD, family, and protection of your ecosystem… — Coach, JV (@Coachjv_) November 4, 2025 Market Moves And Historical Context Coach JV pointed out that a drop below $2 would wipe as much as 37% off a position opened at the start of August. For example, a $100,000 stake would be worth about $63,000 in that scenario. Those are headline numbers that grab attention. Yet the message being pushed by some analysts is simple: a downturn can create low-price buying opportunities. After the collapse from $3.30 in January 2018, XRP stayed mostly between $0.3 and $0.7 for seven years, until the rally in November 2024 reopened the market for large gains. Opportunity For The Patient According to JV, patient accumulation during weak patches is what separates winners from those who chase rallies later. He wrote that when others are chasing green candles, early accumulators are often already sitting on gains. #XRP – Micro Wick 1 ($10) & Macro Wick 2 ($50): First of all, imagine waking up after a market bloodbath ???? and still writing this post with zero fear ????, because on the higher timeframes, nothing has changed!

That low was noted in his analysis, and he argued that higher-timeframe structure hasn’t been broken. His tone was confident, even as he admitted short-term pain.
