Today, the Render Network finalized its RENDER crypto AI token migration and upgrade. Following the highly anticipated rebrand, the AI token saw a positive price action, surging over 15% on the last day. Investors and market watchers expressed optimism about the rebranded token and consider it could hit $10 soon. Related Reading: Ethereum Targets Recovery: Can It Mirror Bitcoin’s Performance? From RNDR To RENDER Last year, the Render Network Foundation changed from Ethereum (ETH), where it was initially launched, to Solana (SOL). The move followed a community vote that passed two major upgrades for the Network. According to the announcement, the Solana switch was “proposed for faster transactions, cheaper fees, and the project’s needs to achieve more ambitious goals with more on-chain data and transactions.” The community also voted to rebrand the token from RNDR to RENDER, which would conclude in 2024. This month, the foundation informed users that many crypto exchanges, including Binance, Kraken, OKX, Crypto.com, and KuCoin, would automatically swap the RNDR tokens for the rebranded token on a 1:1 ratio. On Monday, the RNDR delisting from crypto exchanges began ahead of the scheduled migration on July 26. Exchanges halted most operations with the token, negatively impacting its performance over the week. Moreover, Whales seemingly contributed to the impact of the token’s price. Online reports revealed that some major holders sold their RNDR following the news, dragging the price from above the $7 support level to below the $6.5 price range. The token continued to plunge in the following days, dropping below the $6 mark, a 17% drop in four days. Nonetheless, the highly anticipated migration and listing of the new RENDER token seems to have kickstarted a price recovery. AI Token Skyrockets 17% Following Binance Listing The newly rebranded crypto AI token surged over 17% today after being listed by crypto exchange Binance. On Friday, the exchange announced that RENDER had been added to Binance Simple Earn, Buy Crypto, and Binance Convert. Additionally, it revealed that the Binance Margin and Futures options would be available today for the AI token. Meanwhile, the Auto-Invest option will be added on Monday, July 29. On that date, Kraken, the crypto exchange, will also list the RENDER and delist the RNDR. Investors and market watchers expressed their optimism over the rebrand and Binance listing. An X user claimed that, as the project begins this new era, “the RENDER token with this fresh chart of around $6.5 lows has potential to reach unimaginable heights.” Crypto analyst Coinboss considers that the token could “do a flipperino” if it has a clean break out above the $7 resistance level. A successful retest of the target could potentially lead the token to reclaim the $11 mark, further fueling a surge above RNDR’s all-time high (ATH) of $13.53. Another pseudonym crypto analyst believes RENDER could reach $10 soon, stating, “Thanks for the fud. See you above $10.” Some users also consider that investors will regret not getting the “greatest buying opportunity.” Related Reading: Solana’s Celebrity Tokens Down 94%, MOTHER Community Defends The Memecoin In the last 24 hours, the crypto AI token has seen a remarkable 140% surge in market activity, with $83.1 million daily trading volume.

Bitcoin is moving sideways at press time, absorbing the wave of selling over the last week. Even though there are some optimists, the candlestick arrangement in the daily chart points to weakness. This preview, at least from a technical angle, remains as long as prices trend below the round number of $60,000 and the liquidation level at around $66,000. Binance Bought The Bitcoin Dip Amid the recovery, one analyst, pointing to interesting on-chain data, observed that when prices fell last week, some unnamed exchanges were loading up the dip. It is now emerging that Binance, the world’s largest exchange by client count, was actively accumulating. CryptoQuant data shows that Binance increased its reserves by 41,000 BTC over the last bear run when prices corrected from $72,000. Buying on dips is strategic, considering the exchange’s obligation, especially for users seeking to convert other tokens for BTC on the fly instantaneously. Related Reading: XRP Set To Skyrocket 60,000% On Tightest Bollinger Bands Ever: Analyst During this time, Ki Young Ju also noted that “permanent holders,” entities who tend to HODL and not move coins, have been accumulating. These addresses, excluding spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers, exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, or miners, added 85,000 BTC in the last month. During this time, spot Bitcoin ETF issuers decreased their holding by 16,000 BTC. While some entities were scrambling for the exits, others saw this as an opportunity to double down, loading on every retracement. Their involvement has helped stabilize prices, improving sentiment shredded after last week’s dump to as low as $53,500. German Government Offloading More BTC Even as the “diamond hands” buy the dip, the German government is not stopping; looking at Arkham Intelligence data. Today, on July 11, they moved another 3,250 BTC, on top of the 5,627 sent earlier, to multiple market makers and exchanges, including Bitstamp. Their decision to sell is heaping more pressure on the coin, slowing down the uptrend. Even amid sustained outflows from the German government, a Coingecko survey shows that most respondents, especially investors, are upbeat. Related Reading: Filecoin Boom Incoming?

On-chain data shows a PEPE whale has withdrawn a large amount of the memecoin from Binance today, a sign that could be bullish for its price. PEPE Whale Has Made A Large Outflow From Binance In The Past Day According to data from the cryptocurrency transaction tracker service Whale Alert, a massive Pepe transaction has been spotted on the blockchain during the last 24 hours. Related Reading: Bitcoin Q3 Rally Possible As Miner Selloff Finishes, Quant Says The transfer involved the movement of 1,286,733,285,955 tokens on the network, worth more than $14.7 million when the transaction went through. Given this large scale, it’s likely that a whale entity was responsible for the move. Whales are humongous investors who carry large amounts in their wallets. As they can make huge single-transaction movements like this latest one, they are considered influential beings on the market. Therefore, their moves can be worth keeping an eye on, as they may have implications for the price. Generally, though, it’s hard to say how exactly a move might reflect on the market, but sometimes, the addresses involved can provide some hints. Below are the address details for the latest Pepe whale transaction. As is visible, the sending address for this PEPE transaction was one attached to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Conversely, the receiver wasn’t affiliated with any centralized platform, suggesting that it was likely an investor’s self-custodial wallet. Transfers that move from exchanges to personal addresses are called “exchange outflows.” Generally, investors make outflows from these platforms when they plan to hold in the long term, so these transfers can potentially carry bullish benefits for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Shiba Inu ‘Underbought,’ While Bitcoin ‘Overbought’ Recently: Santiment The whale may have made this latest transfer out of Binance for a similar purpose. It could also be that these coins were just freshly purchased by this large investor, thus making a move even more positive for the memecoin. However, there also exists a bearish scenario where the whale has taken out their PEPE stack to sell through an over-the-counter (OTC) desk instead. As it’s impossible to say with any certainty which of these scenarios this transaction follows, it only remains to be seen what effects this transfer ends up having on the coin’s price, if any. PEPE Price Pepe had recently recovered towards the $0.0000121 level, but the asset has since seen a plunge of almost 5% as its price is now back at around $0.0000115. The chart below shows what the memecoin’s performance has looked like over the last few days. Featured image from Dall-E, whale-alert.io, chart from TradingView.com
