Stablecoins are becoming more popular in the crypto market.

US regulators and market watchers are eyeing a fresh valuation study that puts XRP on track for a dramatic price surge by 2030. Related Reading: The $100K Mirage: Bitcoin’s Rally Not Backed By On-Chain Strength According to Valhil Capital’s deep‑dive report, XRP could climb from its current price into a range between $4,813 and $9,000 in just five years. That forecast hinges on a model that treats XRP not only as a quick way to move money but also as a store of value. Model Weighs Store Of Value According to the Athey & Mitchnick Model used by Valhil Capital, XRP’s role goes way beyond sending payments. The study gives much more weight to people holding XRP like they would gold. In their view, as more folks start treating XRP as a place to park money, fewer coins stay in circulation. That tight supply pushes the price higher. The model blends economic ideas, real‑world trends, and crypto market moves to arrive at its numbers. Key Figures Drive Forecast Based on reports, the model assumes daily transactions on XRP Ledger will hit $700 billion by 2030. It uses a one‑second transaction speed and the current 56.5 billion XRP supply. With a 10% discount rate and a five‑year adoption window, the study pegs a mid‑case price of $4,813 if about 10% of global payments run on XRPL. In a more bullish view, the researchers push store‑of‑value demand to $1 quadrillion, which shoots the price beyond $9,000. Even a $100 trillion demand level would land XRP at $908 per token. Virtuous Cycle Could Fuel Growth Based on reports from Valhil Capital, the so‑called Virtuous Cycle Flywheel could spark a feedback loop. First, higher use of XRP for cross‑border payments and FX trades drives up demand. Then, price gains lure more holders to lock away their coins, shrinking the free float. That scarcity pushes prices even higher. As value climbs, new use cases could pop up, drawing in more users and adding another spin to the cycle. Regulation And Competition Loom Large XRP’s path to mass use isn’t smooth. Legal questions still swirl around its status in the US and elsewhere. That uncertainty may scare off big financial players. Plus, central bank digital currencies, stablecoins, and rival blockchains are all chasing the same slice of the cross‑border market. Related Reading: Crypto Bombshell: Developer Claims XRP Could Hit $20,000 Valhil Capital calls its forecast “conservative” because it skips markets like derivatives and real estate. Yet it also admits it can’t guess future rules or fresh ways people might use XRP. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin’s explosive rally to $111,970 has reignited hopes of a long-anticipated altseason. While the crypto king leads the charge, analysts warn the altcoin market is not quite ready to follow—at least, not yet.

Cardano is making moves to become a hub for Bitcoin DeFi. According to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, the network has rolled out a string of upgrades, yet it still needs a strong message to win over users and investors. He argues that without a clear voice steering the story, those technical gains risk getting lost in the noise. Related Reading: The $100K Mirage: Bitcoin’s Rally Not Backed By On-Chain Strength Network Champions New Features Cardano’s team has added Leios, a new smart contract framework, and Hydra, a layer‑2 scaling solution that promises faster transactions. They’ve also launched the Midnight Glacier Drop, which aims to boost data privacy for on‑chain applications. Based on reports, Minswap—the largest decentralized exchange on Cardano—is preparing to support Bitcoin, with plans to tap into a $2 trillion liquidity pool. At the same time, Lace Wallet is gaining traction among everyday users, and USDM, a stablecoin backed by dollar reserves, is picking up steam. We got Leios, Hydra, Midnight, and Bitcoin DeFi alongside governance, security and decentralization. Bitcoin DeFi is indeed the largest opportunity, but the single biggest issue is that we are missing a competent Foundation and executive authority to push these narratives into… https://t.co/t3j4ULTTe8 — Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) June 29, 2025 Hoskinson Points To Executive Gap Despite those wins, Hoskinson says Cardano is missing a “competent Foundation and executive authority” to shape market views. He’s taken to X to share his concerns, but some in the community have pushed back hard. A few podcasters and thought leaders have labeled Cardano a “dying chain.” Hoskinson admits that stepping into the narrative has drawn plenty of criticism—yet he feels it’s needed if Cardano is to claim its place in Bitcoin‑based finance. Input Output Global’s Role Input Output Global (IOG), Hoskinson’s company, will keep guiding Cardano as its core coordinator. He warns this work comes at a cost: “It’s been brutal and expensive this year,” he said, referring to waves of negative comments and legal threats. He adds that it’s “dehumanizing” to be blamed for every hiccup on the network while not getting credit for the wins. Related Reading: Crypto Bombshell: Developer Claims XRP Could Hit $20,000 Rare Evo Conference In Focus Looking ahead, Hoskinson is counting on Rare Evo, a crypto conference, to reset the conversation. He believes the community will use that event to settle governance questions and update Cardano’s constitution with delegated executive powers. There’s even talk of a sovereign wealth fund to back Bitcoin DeFi on the chain. Built on top of Bitcoin, Bitcoin DeFi (BTCFi) is a network of decentralized financial applications. Last year, Hoskinson pushed a plan to convert $100 million worth of ADA into stablecoin liquidity. That idea sparked fierce debate. Now, he hopes Rare Evo will help turn bold ideas into solid support. Cardano’s path forward may hinge on blending strong tech work with a clear, unified story. As Bitcoin DeFi edges closer, the project that can tell the best story might win the most attention—and the most funds. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Dogecoin has spent the majority of the past five days trading within a tight range between $0.156 and $0.165. Notably, the meme coin is now showing early signs of stabilization after its steep correction earlier this month, with bulls beginning to reclaim ground after a drop below the $0.17 price barrier. Related Reading: The $100K Mirage: Bitcoin’s Rally Not Backed By On-Chain Strength Reclaiming the $0.17 level is important, according to technical analysis of Dogecoin’s price. This technical backdrop sets the stage for a projected price move to $0.21. TD Sequential Flashes Buy Signal For Dogecoin Dogecoin’s 3-day candlestick timeframe chart shows that the meme coin is currently trading just above an ascending trendline that dates back to late 2023, which has acted as a key support level across multiple correction cycles. Despite the recent volatility, the price structure appears to be ready for a possible bounce move from here due to the formation of less volatile candlesticks and higher lows just above the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level around $0.165. Taking to the social media platform X, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed an interesting bullish signal taking place on the same 3-day candlestick timeframe. According to Martinez, Dogecoin has just triggered a buy signal on the 3-day TD Sequential indicator. This tool, which identifies trend exhaustion and possible reversals, has been quite useful in predicting buy and sell zones this cycle. However, the bullish outlook depends on Dogecoin reclaiming the $0.17 price level, which is now working as some sort of resistance. Martinez noted that a breakout above this price level could allow Dogecoin to rebound to $0.21. Notably, this $0.21 price target coincides with the 0.618 Fibonacci extension from Dogecoin’s October 2023 low. Image From X: @ali_charts Path To $0.21 Needs Enough Volume For Dogecoin to confirm a return to $0.21, market participation must return in a meaningful way. This is because Dogecoin’s trading volume has been notably low over the past few days. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Dogecoin’s 24-hour trading volume is currently at just $400 million, which is a 36.7% decrease from the previous day. This level of activity is significantly below Dogecoin’s usual trading volume during periods of upward momentum. Related Reading: Stablecoin Skepticism Grows As IMF Official Challenges Their Money Role Such a slowdown in volume suggests that, despite the bullish technical signal from the TD Sequential indicator, the necessary follow-through from buyers is yet to be confirmed. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.1637, up by 1.7% in the past 24 hours. Until volume picks up, Dogecoin may continue to consolidate or even drift sideways, regardless of the bullish indicators. Unless there’s strong interest and stronger inflows, the breakout setup could fizzle out or result in another rejection at $0.17. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

A well-known crypto voice has stirred the pot by saying XRP could one day challenge Bitcoin’s top spot. His name is Charles Shrem, the guy behind the Blockchain Backer channel on YouTube. He’s been bullish on XRP for years. Now he’s saying outright that the altcoin is a threat to Bitcoin. That claim comes at a time when the altcoin is still trailing behind Bitcoin’s recent rally. Related Reading: TRUMP Token In Trouble? Over $4 Million Liquidity Exit Sparks Crash Fears XRP’s Rise And Fall Against Bitcoin According to charts, XRP jumped over 200% against Bitcoin from November 2024 to January 2025. That was an eye-popping move. Then things went south. Since February 2025, XRP lost about 30% against Bitcoin. Bitcoin, on the other hand, set new all-time highs after February. The crypto mostly hovered around $2. That big swing shows how fast fortunes can change in crypto markets. If it isn’t clear yet, XRP actually is a threat to Bitcoin. — Blockchain Backer (@BCBacker) June 26, 2025 Analyst Calls XRP A Serious Challenger Based on reports, Shrem has hinted at this view in the past. But he never put it so bluntly until now. He says Bitcoin fans feel threatened by XRP’s potential. He even pointed to online fights where Bitcoin maximalists blasted XRP and its backers. Shrem argues that those attacks prove it has real muscle behind it, at least in the minds of some big players. Trump’s Digital Asset Stockpile Debate In January 2025, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order asking a team to study a “digital asset stockpile.” It didn’t name Bitcoin or XRP. But the move sent shockwaves through crypto circles. The funny thing is… XRP was never mentioned in the executive order. But, the Bitcoiners have always known it’s the threat for the crown. That’s why the attack is on. They know. — Blockchain Backer (@BCBacker) January 24, 2025 Some Bitcoin supporters blamed XRP and Ripple’s boss, Brad Garlinghouse, for pushing to include the altcoin. That blew up into a heated online conflict. Shrem sees that clash as more proof of XRP’s rising profile. Bitcoiners are openly advertising that XRP may be a threat to overthrow Bitcoin. — Blockchain Backer (@BCBacker) January 24, 2025 Market Cap Gap Remains Wide XRP still has a long way to go. It trades at about $2.19 and boasts a market cap of $129.4 billion. Ethereum sits second with $295 billion. The crypto would need a 135% rise to hit $5. To match Bitcoin’s $2.125 trillion, the altcoin’s price must surge about $1,620% to $36. Back in October, analyst Dark Defender said XRP could reach $36. That call sounds bold today. Related Reading: Stablecoin Skepticism Grows As IMF Official Challenges Their Money Role Overcoming A Big Lead In Adoption XRP’s fast moves get people talking. Its ties to banks and quick payments give it a story that’s very different from Bitcoin’s. But displacing Bitcoin means overcoming a huge lead in adoption and mind share. For now, Shrem’s claim makes good headlines. Whether XRP can turn that talk into market gains is another question. For crypto fans, it’s one of the storylines to watch in the months ahead.

US President Donald Trump’s namesake meme token has tumbled hard, slumping nearly 90% from its all-time high set six months ago. Related Reading: Double Win: Dogwifhat Jumps 24% Alongside Bitcoin’s $107K Push Today, TRUMP is trading at $8.80, down 6% in the last seven days. Traders are on edge after the project’s team yanked $4.4 million in USDC from liquidity pools and a single whale lined up a $2.5 million sell order. Team Pulls Millions From Liquidity According to a recent post on X by Lookonchain, the Trump Coin team withdrew $4.4 million worth of USDC and moved 347,438 TRUMP tokens—valued at $3.12 million—from the main liquidity pool into a fresh wallet. The #Trump Meme Team removed 4.4M $USDC and 347,438 $TRUMP($3.12M) in liquidity 6 hours ago. They then bridged 4.4M $USDC to #Ethereum and transferred 347,438 $TRUMP($3.12M) to a new wallet.https://t.co/ORSLE6vJiAhttps://t.co/SYyNae1nio pic.twitter.com/okTk1u0Ow9 — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) June 26, 2025 That move came without any heads-up or clear reason. Now, many investors worry that the team might be preparing to dump coins, which would add selling pressure to a coin already struggling with low demand. Whale Places Huge Sell Order Based on reports, a major wallet known as Kewh32 has put 275,672 TRUMP tokens on the market, roughly $2.5 million at current prices. This whale also sold 100,000 tokens earlier in June and still holds 369,400 coins. If those tokens ever hit exchanges, the added supply could push the price even lower. Price Pattern Offers Mixed Signal On the daily chart, TRUMP has traced out a falling wedge pattern. That setup often leads to a breakout, but only when buyers step in with strength. Here, trading volumes remain weak. The relative strength index (RSI) has sat below 50 for over a month, signaling that sellers are still in control. At the same time, the Awesome Oscillator just flipped green—albeit still below zero—which hints that bearish momentum may be fading. Related Reading: Bitcoin Paces $15 Billion YTD Influx Amid 10-Week Fund Flow Streak Investor Confidence Falters Many traders are watching the $8 to $9 range closely. A failure to hold above $8 could spell more losses and test deeper support. Right now, there’s no sign of a strong rally. Without fresh buying interest or positive news, the downtrend inside the wedge looks set to continue. It won’t take much to spark a short squeeze—maybe a burst of social media hype or a big buy from another whale. But trust in the token’s team is shaky after the recent liquidity pull. Until on-chain activity shows real demand, most market players expect more choppy trading and lower prices. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
Dogecoin showed a sudden rebound this week, sparking fresh talk of a major rally in the weeks ahead. After dipping to $0.142 on Sunday, the meme coin has climbed back above $0.16. Related Reading: Bunker Buster: Ethereum Titans Stake $100 Million Amid US-Iran Hostilities According to market watchers, this bounce off long-term support could set the stage for a much bigger move, possibly as soon as July. Chart Pattern Points To Support Analysts have noted that Dogecoin’s slide to $0.142 fits neatly into a rising pattern of higher lows. Based on analysis, the dip hit a multi-year trendline that first showed up in October 2023. At that time, prices fell to a similar zone before reversing. Once Dogecoin found footing, it moved into an ascending channel, forming a steady string of higher highs and higher lows on the weekly chart. $DOGE $1 https://t.co/KgAc4sZ2LN — WIZZ???? ( beware scammers ) (@CryptoWizardd) June 24, 2025 July Could Be The Launchpad Meanwhile, crypto analyst WIZZ have predicted that Dogecoin’s next leg up could begin in July. If the current support holds, they argue, DOGE may pick up speed and push toward the wedge’s tip and hit $1. The analyst’s chart shows a potential rally to $1.40, which would mark a 740% jump from today’s levels and blow past the $1 mark that many have eyed for years. Multiple Forecasts Add Fuel To The Debate This isn’t the first time experts have set sights on $1 for Dogecoin. Galaxy Research put the $1 target on its radar before the end of 2025. Javon Marks, in his own analysis, sees DOGE breaching $1.25 by riding a bullish continuation pattern. Other analysts have called for a 500% surge after a falling-wedge breakout in March. $0.6533 for $DOGE with a high likeliness of a break above, bringing $1.25+ into play! (Dogecoin) https://t.co/ltCEos1E8w — JAVON⚡️MARKS (@JavonTM1) June 21, 2025 Short-Term Gains Vs. Long-Term Risks Dogecoin’s recent turn higher adds about 10% to its weekly lows, and it’s up roughly 5% over the last weekly session, trading near $0.166. But critics point out that DOGE lacks the fundamental backing of tokens that power major networks. Its price moves largely on community enthusiasm and hype. If Bitcoin or the broader crypto market cools off, Dogecoin could see sharper drops than more established assets. Related Reading: Double Win: Dogwifhat Jumps 24% Alongside Bitcoin’s $107K Push What Traders Should Keep In Mind For those thinking of jumping in, this setup is a double-edged sword. A 500% move in one month would be historic—even by meme-coin standards. But that kind of rally demands perfect market conditions and lots of buying momentum. If support breaks again, losses could come just as fast. Traders who choose to play this rebound may want to set clear profit targets and tight stops.
