Chainlink’s token, LINK, has barely budged this month. It sits in 13th place by market cap after picking up just 3.8% since May 1. Its price hovers under $12 at times, though some reports put it near $16 when markets last ticked. That mixed picture raises questions about whether LINK can keep its spot.

Cross-Chain Push Comes To Solana According to published updates, Chainlink rolled out its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol on Solana on May 19, 2025. This feature aims to let developers tap into over $18 billion in assets across chains. The upgrade is meant to help Solana’s DeFi world link up with Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche and others. It shows Chainlink’s team isn’t waiting around for the price to climb. ⬡ Chainlink Adoption Update ⬡ There were 16 integrations of the Chainlink standard across 6 services and 16 different chains: Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Bitlayer, BNB Chain, Celo, Ethereum, opBNB, Optimism, Polygon, Ronin, Rootstock, Scroll, Solana, Sonic, and ZKsync. New… pic.twitter.com/j3cnAnc3UC — Chainlink (@chainlink) May 25, 2025 New Integrations Add Momentum Based on reports from the Chainlink team, there have been 16 fresh integrations of its standards. Those span six service types and include support on Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana and ZKsync. Developer activity is on the rise. But that growth hasn’t sparked big moves in the LINK market yet. A $10.4 billion market cap still feels sturdy. Yet the token’s flat performance puts pressure on its ranking. Resistance Zones Shape Outlook Traders eye key hurdles on the LINK/USDT chart. First up is a wall at $20, a level where sellers have stepped in before. A push past that could send LINK toward a $25–$26 area. Beyond lies a mid-term target of $28–$30, matching late-2024 highs. Volume spikes in April did trigger a 14% climb, pointing to possible repeat action. But bears still have a say. The MACD line sits under its trigger line, though the gap is narrow. Histogram bars are flat, hinting that selling force might be fading. A crossover could spark fresh buying. $LINK‘s downtrend channel is about to break out. This rise is likely to proceed smoothly to the $36.5 level, where there is a selling wall. pic.twitter.com/CaN2agtchk — CW (@CW8900) May 26, 2025 Breakout Signs Meanwhile, LINK is showing signs of breaking out of its downtrend channel, sparking bullish momentum among traders. Analysts note that a clean breakout could push LINK toward the $36.5 level, where a major selling wall sits. The move follows increased developer activity and Chainlink’s CCIP launch on Solana. If buyers hold momentum, LINK may rally smoothly—but the $36.5 resistance could test the strength of this breakout. Flat Forecasts Keep Hopes Modest Technical indicators are mixed. LINK’s one-month forecast shows a 0.61% gain by June 26, 2025, landing it around $15.64. That outlook comes with a “Neutral” reading on market sentiment. Source: CFGI The Fear & Greed Index sits at 60, a sign of Greed. In the past 30 days, LINK had 12 green days out of 30 and saw 6.40% volatility. All that points to modest moves rather than wild swings. What Comes Next For LINK Chainlink’s core goal remains the same: power a decentralized oracle network that feeds real-world data into blockchains. Those efforts matter for projects that need price feeds, random numbers or cross-chain messages.

Crypto assets to the tune of over $3 billion are heading into circulation in June. That marks a 32% drop from May’s haul of $4.9 billion. According to crypto vesting tracker Tokenomist, investors and traders will face new supply pressure again this month. Related Reading: Buy XRP Before It Explodes To $1,000, Market Expert Says Total Token Unlocks Dip In June June’s release of $3.3 billion is down sharply from May’s nearly $5 billion. A lot of that change comes from projects finishing earlier vesting schedules. But $3.3 billion is still a heavy weight on token prices. Markets usually wobble when billions of dollars suddenly become tradable. Cliffs Versus Gradual Releases About $1.4 billion of June’s tokens will hit wallets all at once in what’s called a cliff unlock. That means a lump sum becomes liquid on a set date. The rest— nearly $2 billion—will drip into the market bit by bit with linear unlocks. A slow trickle of new supply can soften the blow, but it still adds up over time. Source: Tokenomist Big Names On The List Several major projects lead the pack in June. Metars Genesis (MRS) will drop over $190 million worth of tokens on June 21 to back an AI partnership. Since March, MRS has unlocked 10 million tokens each month, pushing nearly $1 billion into circulation so far. On June 1, SUI will unlock 44 million coins—about $160 million in value. Over $70 million of that goes to Series B investors. To date, SUI has released more than 3 billion tokens valued at roughly $12 billion, or about 33% of its total supply. Another 5.22 billion tokens, worth nearly $20 billion, are still locked without a set date. Other Projects To Watch A handful of well-known tokens also have vesting dates in June. Fasttoken will hand out 20 million tokens—around $88 million—to its founders. LayerZero plans to unlock 25 million tokens worth over $70 million for core contributors and strategic partners. Aptos will release 11.30 million tokens, about $60 million, to its team, backers and community fund. ZKsync sets free over 760 million tokens valued at almost $50 million to investors and staff. Even Arbitrum joins the list, adding to the pressure on Layer-2 markets. Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets What This Means For Traders Based on reports, big unlocks tend to spark price swings. Cliff events often trigger fast sell-offs as holders gain full access. Gradual releases can drag on prices over weeks. Those who trade around these dates should be ready for volatility. For long-term holders, dips caused by fresh supply might offer a chance to add to positions. Either way, tracking vesting calendars could help time moves and spare traders from nasty surprises.

A well-known crypto analyst, going by the name Egrag Crypto, has laid out some eye-popping targets for XRP. According to his charts, the token could climb as high as $45, a 2,700% jump from its current price. A more modest scenario would still send it to $19, up a little over 1,000%. He points to past cycles where similar moves took shape over roughly 770 days. Yet not everyone is on board with his bullish outlook. Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets Historical Moves And Cycle Timing Based on reports, Egrag Crypto stresses that XRP’s rallies in 2017 and 2021 followed almost identical paths. The token hit $3.25 in 2017 after surging 2,770%. Then in 2021 it jumped 1,052% to about $1.80. Each rally was marked by a bearish crossover on the 21 EMA and the 33 MA, followed by sideway trading for around 777 days after the 2018 peak and 770 days after the 2021 high. He believes the same setup started late in 2024, when XRP climbed nearly sixfold from its previous low. #XRP – Targeting $19 or $45? ????Charts Men lie, women lie, but charts don’t! ???? I’m not improvising here; I’m relying on historical data to present future predictions. Will it rhyme exactly? No, because if it were that easy, everyone would be a multimillionaire! ???? ????Human… pic.twitter.com/YasA4k98fd — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) April 11, 2025 Bullish Targets And Risks According to the analysis, a repeat of past moves could push XRP as high as $45. A less aggressive run would still see it reach $19. Egrag Crypto even points to an intermediate target of about $27 as a likely milestone. Those numbers assume a straight path up, but markets rarely move in straight lines. Big jumps often end with sharp pullbacks. Traders chasing 2,700% gains could face long wait times and steep drops. Bearish Views Gain Ground Other voices warn against getting swept up in the hype. Market watcher Koroush says now is a time for shorts. He pegs a possible decline to $1.30. Others favor a short bias, pointing to weakening demand and faltering momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $125K By End Of Q2? Bold Call From Bybit Executive Advice For Traders Egrag Crypto recommends a simple Dollar-Cost Averaging plan. Buy small amounts at regular intervals. That way, no one big buy leaves you exposed. He says to sell in slices, too. Lock in gains at key levels instead of betting everything on the top. This kind of step-by-step play can cut losses and smooth out wild swings. Looking Ahead The debate around XRP’s next phase is far from over. Historical charts show one side of the story. On-chain trends, legal battles, and macro factors tell another. If charts really don’t lie, as Egrag Crypto quips, XRP might be gearing up for a fireworks show. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Investor optimism for a spot XRP ETF has climbed sharply. Based on Polymarket’s data, the odds of a green light sit at 83%. That figure comes even as the US Securities and Exchange Commission keeps pushing decisions back. Some industry watchers say the regulator simply uses its full review window. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $125K By End Of Q2? Bold Call From Bybit Executive Analyst Predictions And Timeline According to Bloomberg’s James Seyffart, the SEC often takes the full 240 days to weigh 19b-4 filings. He pointed out that the agency asked for an extra 45 days on May 20 to rule on Bitwise’s Ether staking change, moving the deadline to May 22. Based on his posts on X, almost all spot ETF bids now face final due dates in October. That makes any early summer approvals highly unlikely. Spot Versus Futures Products On May 19, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange rolled out an XRP futures contract for the first time. A few days later, Volatility Shares listed the XRPI futures ETF on Nasdaq. Then Tectrium added a 2x Long Daily XRP ETF for those seeking more leverage. These products let traders bet on XRP’s future price in a regulated setting. They are not the same as a spot ETF, but they signal growing interest among big investors. Institutional Access Through ETFs Based on reports, Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, spoke on the company’s podcast about why ETFs matter. He said ETFs let Wall Street buy crypto without wrestling with exchanges or private wallets. He highlighted that the Bitcoin ETF hit $1 billion in assets faster than any other, and then reached $10 billion on record. That track record, he argued, paves the way for similar products tied to XRP. Market Outlook And Caution According to SEC filings and industry chatter, delays are normal. The commission has already postponed decisions on Grayscale’s XRP tracking fund and a Solana ETF. Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets Analysts warn that odds in prediction markets can shift wildly. An 83% chance today could drop if the SEC raises new questions or requests another comment period. Investors should keep an eye on the calendar as October approaches. Excitement And Patience The buzz around an XRP spot ETF reflects real excitement, but history shows regulators move slowly. Futures ETFs like XRPI offer one path into XRP’s market, yet they come with quirks like contango and premium swings. For now, institutions and retail traders alike will watch the SEC’s deadlines with keen interest—and maybe a bit of patience. Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView

Ethereum’s recent price momentum, along with the rest of the market, kept investors on edge during the week as it pressed closer toward the $2,800 level. However, Ethereum struggled to push past $2,750 during the week, briefly hitting resistance as bulls tried to extend the current uptrend.  Interestingly, on-chain data shows that this may be a reaction to a major cluster of buy levels around $2,800, which may increase sell-side pressure in the coming days. Related Reading: Buy XRP Before It Explodes To $1,000, Market Expert Says $2,800 Zone Heats Up With Investor Cost Basis Cluster After rebounding from a low near $1,600 in April, Ethereum recovered more than half of its losses last week from its peak near $3,800 in December 2024. According to on-chain analytics platform Glassnode, there is a significant accumulation of Ethereum supply held by investors who bought in near the $2,800 price range. This concentration, visualized in Glassnode’s cost-basis heatmap, shows a notable density of wallet activity precisely at this level.  The implication of this concentration is simple: a large number of ETH holders who have been underwater since early 2025 are finally seeing a chance to exit at breakeven as the Ethereum price approaches $2,800. As such, selling pressure may increase as the Ethereum price approaches this level. The logic is that these investors who have been underwater may use this rally to secure neutral exits. That sort of sell-side pressure can act as a cap on the rally, unless demand is strong enough to absorb the supply hitting the market.  The heatmap below shows a large cluster of supply density just below $2,800, which Ethereum must decisively overcome to continue its path toward reclaiming $3,000.  Image From Glassnode Some Resistance Above, But Strong Support Below Given the possibility of the $2,800 level acting as a challenging price ceiling during the week, different on-chain data shows Ethereum enjoying strong support beneath the current price level.  According to a post on X by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, blockchain data from Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) shows that Ethereum holders have built a robust demand zone between $2,330 and $2,410. This area hosts 2.58 million addresses holding over 63.65 million ETH, making it an important support floor. Image From X: @ali_charts At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $2,500, down by 2% in the past 24 hours. The current price range puts the price of the largest altcoin squarely between a band of selling pressure overhead and a solid cushion of demand below.  Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets Interestingly, there are no significant resistance walls aside from the cost basis levels around $2,800, meaning that a convincing breakout above $2,800 could push the Ethereum price quickly towards $3,000. The balance of probabilities now rests on whether bullish momentum can break through the resistance cluster or whether a pullback toward the $2,370 zone will reset the rally.  Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

BankSocial’s CEO, John Wingate, stirred up chatter this week by saying he met with Ripple’s team. He called it “possibly the greatest meeting in the history of international settlements.” It got people talking about whether BankSocial, Hedera, XRP and Ripple are about to team up in a big way. But so far, no one outside Wingate’s circle has confirmed a deal. Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets BankSocial Adds XRP To Roadmap Based on reports, Wingate still sees HBAR as a major piece of BankSocial’s plan. He wrote that HBAR will power backend operations and state checks. He also said XRP is now part of the mix. That hints at a dual-chain setup, with HBAR handling the heavy lifting and XRP moving money between borders. His words were clear: HBAR stays core, but XRP steps into the picture too. Just had a meeting with the @Ripple team. A great meeting. Maybe the greatest meeting in the history of international settlements.@hedera and $HBAR are still a huge part of the strategy. And now, so is $XRP You’re not thinking BIG enough. Think BIG – then 1000000000x it. — John Wingate (@PresidentHODL) May 23, 2025 Three Tokens, Three Roles According to Wingate, each token has its job. HBAR runs the Hedera Consensus Service for checking states and handling network messages. XRP moves cash across borders, especially into certain jurisdictions. BSL, BankSocial’s own token, is for lending, staking and running its DAO. Short story: HBAR does the engine work, XRP moves the money, and BSL runs the bank’s in-house features. Billion-X Ambitions In his post, Wingate challenged followers to “think BIG, then 1,000,000,000x it.” He wants a massive network that links banks, blockchains and countries. That’s a big ask. It points to a goal of tokenizing real-world assets and moving them without the usual delays or fees. If it works, it could reshape how banks use blockchain tech. But he didn’t share any timelines or proof of concept. Multichain. XRP too ???? — BankSocial.io (@BANKSOCIALio) May 19, 2025 Unconfirmed Partnership Details On May 19, BankSocial replied to a teaser about its new platform with “Multichain. XRP too.” That suggests the upcoming system—built on Hedera—will add XRP Ledger support. Yet there’s no press release from Ripple or Hedera saying they’ve signed on. Based on reports, this remains a well-publicized rumor more than a formal pact. Developers and users haven’t seen a test network or demo. Related Reading: Singaporean Crypto Investors Boost XRP Holdings To 17%, Report Finds Wingate also hinted at this two-chain plan back in March. He said BankSocial works with banks and governments on asset tokenization and cross-border cash movement. He named both XRP and HBAR as “major components.” He even pointed out they’re part of the DeRec Alliance, a group set on building open finance tools. For now, the market is watching. If BankSocial can pull off a three-token setup, it might open new paths for banks to handle crypto and stocks directly from customer accounts. But until code appears or an official alliance is announced, this is still a story in progress. Keep an eye on Wingate’s next posts and any updates from Ripple or Hedera.

Singapore’s crypto crowd is shifting its focus beyond Bitcoin. Interest in XRP has climbed as more traders add the token to their portfolios. The change comes even as Bitcoin remains the top holding. Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets Crypto Awareness At Record High According to the 2025 Independent Reserve Crypto Index for Singapore, 94% of locals are familiar with at least one cryptocurrency. That’s a big jump from previous years. Bitcoin still leads the pack—91% know it by name. And it makes up 68% of the average investor’s crypto stash. Yet the fact that almost everyone can name a digital coin shows that Singapore’s trading scene is maturing. Singaporean Investors are increasing their XRP holdings.???? https://t.co/ydq9PGwmXj pic.twitter.com/aK9H85ZVwb — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) May 22, 2025 XRP Ownership On The Rise Based on reports from Milieu Insight Market Research, XRP saw one of the strongest gains among altcoins. It now represents 17% of crypto holdings in Singapore, up from 14% last year. Ethereum grew even more, climbing from 41% to 48%. Solana ticked up from 17% to 19%, while Dogecoin rose only 1 point, from 18% to 19%. Still, XRP’s 3-point boost hints at growing trust in its payment-focused design. Monthly Investments Varied Widely Investors in Singapore are not all spending the same amount each month. About 57% put in less than $500. Another 29% contribute between $500 and $1,000. Only 10% dedicate more than $1,000 each month to steadier “dollar-cost averaging.” Those figures suggest that most people treat crypto as a side play rather than a full-time career. Stablecoin Trends And RLUSD Stablecoins are also part of the mix. Roughly 46% of respondents said they own—or once owned—these US-pegged assets. Of that group, 21% hold them now, while 25% have moved on. Eighty-three percent prefer USD-pegged coins. In that context, Ripple’s new RLUSD has reached a $310 million market cap in just a few months. Ripple’s APAC managing director, Fiona Murray, said the coin is not just for trading but also for cross-border payments and DeFi work. Related Reading: Traders Pile In: Bitcoin Open Interest Hits All-Time High As Price Nears $112K Singapore’s data echoes trends elsewhere.

Still, altcoin allocations are climbing—and XRP is leading that charge. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
