As a recent Messari report outlined, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) showcased notable progress during the first quarter of 2024. The decentralized public blockchain, which facilitates the transfer of XRP, fiat currencies, and other digital assets, has demonstrated substantial activity. XRP Ledger Burn Rate Slows Amid Low Fees During Q1 2024, XRP, the native token of the XRPL, secured its position as the sixth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, reaching $34.1 billion (currently $29M). Despite a slight price decrease, XRP’s circulating market cap witnessed a 1.3% growth quarter-over-quarter (QoQ). Related Reading: Forget Fear, Embrace Greed? Bitcoin Soars As Sentiment Turns Red Hot The XRPL employs a deflationary mechanism by systematically burning transaction fees. This process exerts downward pressure on the total supply of XRP, which stands at 100 billion tokens. Since the inception of the XRP Ledger, approximately 12 million XRP have been burned. However, the low burn rate during Q1 can be attributed to the network’s relatively low transaction fees (less than $0.002 per transaction). Additionally, 1 billion XRP is released from escrow to Ripple each month, with any unutilized tokens being placed into new escrow contracts. This pattern will continue until the remaining approximately 45 billion XRP becomes liquid; at this point, the deflationary pressure from burned fees will be the primary variable affecting supply. While XRP’s price decreased marginally 0.1% QoQ, lagging behind the overall crypto market’s 63.0% increase, it rose 14.8% year over year (YoY). Inscription-Fueled Transactions Propel XRPL Daily Payments The report highlights that revenue in the XRPL is measured as total fees collected by the network, which are subsequently burned, contributing to the redistribution of wealth from transaction fee spenders to XRP holders. Network activity showed significant growth, with active addresses and transactions increasing by 37% and 113% QoQ, respectively. A substantial portion of transaction activity on the XRPL stemmed from inscriptions, a transaction type popularized in early 2023. Over 30 million transactions were sent to a single account by approximately 45,000 accounts engaged in inscription-related activities. According to Messari, inscriptions, facilitated by XRP Script, played a key role in driving the surge in daily payments, which soared 350% QoQ to 2 million transactions.

Lastly, the report notes that the XRP Ledger blockchain witnessed a net increase of 150,000 accounts, driving the total number of accounts up by 3.1% to 5.15 million in Q1. However, new addresses decreased 12.4% QoQ to 183,000, primarily due to the high number of addresses created in Q4, coinciding with the inception of inscription activity. As of press time, XRP is valued at $0.5279, down 2.5% in the past 24 hours and 3.5% in the past seven days, which is in line with the broader market trend.

As the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved all the spot Ethereum ETF applications, despite increased regulatory uncertainty surrounding the cryptocurrency, investors are becoming more optimistic about the potential for ETH’s price to reach new heights. Bullish Sentiment Surrounds Ethereum ETF Approval DeFiance Capital Founder and CIO Arthur Cheong predicts that ETH could reach an annual high of $4,500 before the newly approved index funds begin trading, surpassing its mid-March high of $4,096. This projection falls just short of ETH’s all-time high of $4,878 during the 2021 bull run. In addition, a survey conducted by WuBlockchain in the Chinese community revealed that 58% of respondents believe that ETH has the potential to rise to $10,000 or even higher in this market cycle. Related Reading: Kickstarting The Bitcoin Bull Run: Expert Says $70,000 Is The Level To Beat The recent regulatory pivot by the SEC towards approving Ether ETFs has intensified bets on further price gains. In the seven days following the announcement, ETH experienced a 26% surge, marking the largest weekly advance since the 2021 crypto bull market. This development brings hope to speculators, considering the success of US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have amassed $59 billion in assets since their record-breaking debut in January. However, spot Ethereum ETFs will not participate in staking, earning rewards by pledging tokens to maintain the Ethereum blockchain. This omission could potentially dampen interest in these funds in comparison to holding the tokens directly. Although additional SEC approvals are required before issuers such as BlackRock and Fidelity Investments can launch their products, the timeline for these releases remains uncertain. As of now, ETH is trading around $3,900, with expectations of further upside potential. Options Bets Signal Potential Climb To $5,000 According to a Bloomberg report, analysts such as Pepperstone Group Head of Research Chris Weston believe that pullbacks in ETH are buying opportunities as the risk remains skewed to the upside. Interestingly, as seen in the chart below, some traders are placing bullish options bets, with concentrations signaling a potential climb to $5,000 or more. Furthermore, ETH’s volatility, as indicated by the T3 Ether Volatility Index, is expected to be greater than that of Bitcoin, highlighting the potential for larger price swings in the second-largest digital asset. Related Reading: Ripple CTO Addresses Curious Price Link Between XRP And XLM Insights from the futures market, particularly the level of open interest in Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Ethereum futures, provide evidence of institutional demand for regulated exposure to cryptocurrencies. While open interest in CME Ether futures is growing, it remains significantly lower than that of CME Bitcoin futures. This suggests relatively less institutional exposure to Ether and could potentially impact initial inflows into Ether ETFs. Nevertheless, as the approval of Ethereum ETFs opens up new avenues for investment and speculation, the market is closely watching ETH’s price performance, with bullish sentiment and optimistic predictions prevailing among investors.

Crypto expert Michael van de Poppe has outlined an important price level from which Bitcoin must break out. He claims that once it achieves a successful breakout, the flagship crypto will see a new all-time high (ATH). Bitcoin Needs To Break Through $70,000 Van de Poppe mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Bitcoin needs to break through $70,000 on the lower time frame (LTF) basis. Once that happens, the analyst claimed that Bitcoin will likely see a new ATH. Related Reading: Prepare For Impact: Market Expert Says Biggest Disaster In Crypto Yet To Come He also noted that lower timeframe regions at $67,000 were holding. Meanwhile, he highlighted Bitcoin’s long consolidation, stating that almost three months have passed since the crypto token remained in that range. . However, the crypto expert believes that Bitcoin will likely remain stuck in this range for a “substantial period,” with the flagship crypto possibly trading lower. This is because he foresees a rotation from Bitcoin towards Ethereum and other altcoins, which will cause the flagship crypto not to move to the upside. This long consolidation period was expected from BTC. Arthur Hayes, the co-founder and former CEO of BitMEX, predicted that the crypto token would continue to range between $60,000 and $70,000 until August. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital has also repeatedly mentioned that Bitcoin will face such a long consolidation period, which he claimed is good for Bitcoin. He noted how the flagship crypto hit a new ATH before the halving event brought about an accelerated cycle. However, a long consolidation period means Bitcoin is trying to resynchronize with previous halving cycles. He suggested this is better since it will make the bull run longer. Rekt Capital claimed If it successfully resynchronizes with the previous bull cycles, Bitcoin will peak sometime in September or October next year. In a recent X post, Rekt Capital mentioned that “there is still scope for additional consolidation at these highs” but added that the time left in this phase “is slowly running out.” The chart the analyst shared suggested that Bitcoin simply needs to break out from the $70,000 range before it enters into the ‘parabolic uptrend’ phase. BTC May Be Headed To $78,000 Next Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto recently suggested that Bitcoin could be headed to $78,000 on its next leg up. He revealed that the flagship crypto had broken out of an inverse head and shoulders pattern and was currently “bull flagging for the next move.” He highlighted $78,000 as the price target for this next move. Related Reading: Terra LUNA’s LUNC Set To Jump 13x, Analyst Reveals The Drivers In a subsequent X post, he claimed that BTC retesting its support level might be the next step before this “explosive rally” finally happens. Bitcoin potentially rising to $78,000 is significant as it could clear the road for the flagship crypto to hit $100,000. Crypto analyst Crypto Jebb previously mentioned that there is a “great degree of likelihood” that Bitcoin would rally to $100,000 should it break its current ATH of $73,800.

In a recent ruling that could have implications for the crypto industry, the US Supreme Court unanimously sided against US-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, over a 2021 Dogecoin (DOGE) sweepstakes dispute. The court’s decision, delivered by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, dismissed Coinbase’s argument that a ruling against it would invite legal turmoil, emphasizing the importance of contractual agreements and the role of courts in resolving disputes. Coinbase Arguments Dismissed The key issue was whether the dispute should be submitted to arbitration or litigated in court. According to Bloomberg Law, the court emphasized that arbitration requires the consent of the parties and that in cases involving conflicting contracts, the court must determine the parties’ intent. Coinbase had contended that a ruling against it would “create chaos” by encouraging parties to challenge arbitration agreements. However, the court rejected this concern, stating that it did not foresee such chaos arising from its decision. Related Reading: Is $77,600 The Next Step For Bitcoin? On-Chain Pricing Model Hints So The case revolved around a sweepstakes in which consumers alleged they were deceived into paying $100 to participate. The conflict emerged due to the presence of two contracts that pointed to different dispute resolution mechanisms. David Suski and others who participated sued the exchange and the company that ran the Dogecoin sweepstakes. They alleged violations of California’s false advertising law, unfair competition law, and the Consumer Legal Remedies Act. While a general user agreement mandated arbitration for all disputes, a sweepstakes-specific contract stipulated that disputes must be brought before a California court. Varying Outcomes In Future Cases? Justice Jackson highlighted the need for a court to determine which contract should govern the resolution of the dispute in such situations. However, the court refrained from addressing whether the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals correctly determined that the sweepstakes-specific contract “superseded” the general user agreement, deeming it beyond the scope of the question presented. Justice Neil Gorsuch provided a concurring opinion, emphasizing the contractual nature of arbitration and suggesting that different facts could yield a different outcome. He noted that the enforceability of arbitration depended on the parties’ agreement. Related Reading: Déjà Vu?

Double-Digit Drop For COIN, DOGE Follows Suit Following the verdict, Coinbase stock, which trades under the ticker COIN, took a significant hit, plunging over 11% to a valuation of $220. This decline came as a surprise given the initial expectations of a potential victory. Prior to the ruling, Coinbase’s stock had reached a high of $240 on Wednesday. At the same time, the dog-themed meme cryptocurrency DOGE has also experienced a retracement of more than 4% over the past 24 hours, resulting in a current trading price of $0.158.

A crypto analyst has forecasted an “ultra bull scenario” for Bitcoin, highlighting key support levels and technical patterns that suggest a price rally above $80,000 in this market cycle. Bitcoin Could See Upside Above $80,000 In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, a crypto analyst identified as ‘CrediBullCrypto’ has doubled down on his previous prediction of an ultra-bull scenario for Bitcoin in the future. The analyst’s insights on Bitcoin’s recent activities suggest that the downside risk may be less significant than previously anticipated, paving a bullish path for a massive upside for Bitcoin. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Spend $6.3 Billion In One Day As Historic BTC Buy Signal Appears Sharing a graphical chart of Bitcoin’s price actions from April to May 2024 in a YouTube video, Credibull Crypto predicted that Bitcoin could see its price rising above $100,000 in this projected ultra-bull scenario. The focal point of his analysis was based on the Open Interest (OI) in Bitcoin’s perpetual futures on Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange. According to the crypto analyst, Open Interest has reached 78,000 BTC, significantly higher than its baseline of 64,000 BTC. CrediBull Crypto revealed that this current Open Interest was in a danger zone. This is because the 14,000 BTC difference typically indicates elevated market activities, which often precede volatile price movements. Additionally, the CrediBull Crypto revealed that a single unidentified Bitcoin whale was responsible for approximately 10,000 BTC of the increased 14,000 BTC Open Interest. This means that the anonymous whale controls 70% of all the added Open Interest on Binance perpetual futures since the baseline. He also disclosed that in the scenario where the anonymous whale can withstand 10% to 15% downward pressure without liquidating their assets, the actual available Open Interest that would be vulnerable to a decline would be only 4,000 BTC, instead of the initial 14,000 BTC addition. The analyst revealed that out of the 4,000 BTC, some would be directional shorts, noting that the net long positions at risk would be even lower. Given this theory, CrediBull Crypto argued that the potential for a downside is more limited. As a result, the ultra bull scenario where Bitcoin’s price surges to new all-time highs was worth considering. Potential Retracement Towards $60,000 In his YouTube video, CrediBull Crypto also highlighted a potential retracement slightly above the $60,000 price mark. The analyst predicted a bearish scenario, where Bitcoin could see its price falling significantly towards $62,000 to $63,000. Related Reading: XRP Price Nears Major Converging Point: Analyst Predicts 3,600% Jump To $20 At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price is trading at $69,774, reflecting a 0.08% decrease in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. CrediBull Crypto disclosed that Bitcoin had failed to break through key resistance levels above $70,000. He predicts that consistent declines and liquidations could potentially trigger a bottom below $60,000. However, he also revealed that such a bearish turnaround was highly unlikely at this time, as Bitcoin’s price movements currently indicates an ultra bullish scenario.

A crypto analyst has predicted the next price target for the XRP price, noting that the altcoin was nearing a key point that could potentially trigger a major bull rally for the cryptocurrency. XRP Price Roadmap to $20 In an X (formerly Twitter) post on May 20, Crypto analyst, Javon Marks forecasted a strong bullish breakout for the XRP price in this market cycle. Marks explained that XRP was steadily approaching a critical converging point, with an emerging Relative Strength Index (RSI) pattern indicating strong underlying momentum for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Institutional Investors Pour $942 Million Into Bitcoin, Will This Trigger A Rally To $80,000? An RSI is a technical tool used to measure the speed and change of price movements in a cryptocurrency. It is also used to determine the short-term momentum of a cryptocurrency’s market. Sharing a price chart depicting the XRP price movements from 2018 to 2025, the analyst predicts that XRP’s closing converging point and RSI pattern are signaling a massive breakout to new all-time highs. He has projected a “conservative” target that could see XRP’s price soaring between $15 and $20 in the coming weeks. Additionally, XRP’s present price actions are displaying a bullish pattern reminiscent of the one observed during its mega rally to a new all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018. Marks noted that for XRP to reach the ambitious $20 price target, the cryptocurrency would have to witness a massive surge of 2,000% to 3,000%, translating to 20X to 36X from its current price. Concluding his analysis, the crypto analyst disclosed that all the factors and indicators were pointing towards a potential rise in XRP’s price. However, the exact timing of when this will occur is uncertain. More Bullish Projections For XRP XRP has been drawing significant attention from market analysts, who are projecting increasingly bullish price movements for the cryptocurrency. Despite its struggles to reach the coveted $1, the XRP price has still exhibited some strength as it continues to maintain a price position around the $0.5 mark.

Another XRP community member and crypto analyst identified as ‘XRP Captain,’ has also confirmed a potential breakout for the cryptocurrency. He disclosed that XRP’s next target will likely be $0.7 before June 2024. At the time of writing, XRP’s price is trading at $0.53, marking a decline of 1.06% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Over the past seven days, the cryptocurrency has performed relatively well, recording a series of minor rallies that contributed to a 6.67% gain. A bullish breakout for XRP will require sustained momentum and increased trading activities from investors. Currently, the cryptocurrency’s daily trading volume has not demonstrated significant growth, indicating only a slight increase of 3.25% in the last 24 hours.

Crypto analyst Oscar Ramos has outlined why he doesn’t believe the Shiba Inu price can go above $0.01 this cycle. He made this statement while alluding to the possibility of the meme coin reaching $0.5 at some point in the future. Why Shiba Inu Can’t Go Above $0.01 Ramos mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Shiba Inu can’t go above $0.01 because of its current supply of over 589 trillion, according to data from CoinMarketCap. The crypto analyst made this remark while sharing a prediction chart from the price prediction website Telegaon, which showed that Shiba Inu could reach $0.5 in 2040. Related Reading: Why Is The Ethereum Price Up 20% Today? Indeed, Shiba Inu’s circulating supply significantly impacts its price, which is why the Shiba Inu team has made a conscious effort to reduce the amount of SHIB tokens in circulation through regular token burns. Shiba Inu’s burn tracker had previously noted that Shiba Inu’s circulating supply would need to be just over 85 billion for its price to even reach $0.01, as Ramos predicts. That means almost 80% of Shiba Inu’s circulating supply still needs to be burned for the meme coin to attain Ramos’ price target. Crypto YouTuber Jeff had previously suggested that it was almost impossible for Shiba Inu to burn that much of its circulating supply, stating that it would take over 1 million years for Shiba Inu’s circulating supply to reduce to 100 billion tokens. However, there is no doubt that the Shiba Inu team has still made great efforts to reduce the meme coin’s circulating supply. Over 76 billion SHIB tokens were burned in 2023, while 83 billion were burned the previous year. Seeing how Shiba Inu’s price has increased since last year, these efforts are paying off. While burning 80% of Shiba Inu’s circulating supply still seems like a far-fetched goal, SHIB token burns are expected to increase exponentially, especially thanks to innovations like layer-2 network Shibarium, which uses some of the transaction fees earned for SHIB burns. Therefore, the number of token burns carried out will increase as Shibarium enjoys more adoption. SHIB Can At Least Rise To $0.011 Crypto analyst Ali Martinez had previously predicted that Shiba Inu could make a historic run from its current price level and rise to as high as $0.011. Other crypto analysts have also given bullish price predictions for Shiba Inu, although not as bullish as Martinez’s. Related Reading: Institutional Investors Pour $942 Million Into Bitcoin, Will This Trigger A Rally To $80,000? Crypto analyst Armando Pantoja predicted that Shiba Inu could reach $0.001 and even claimed this would happen after the Bitcoin halving. Ramos has also given his bullish prediction for SHIB in this bull run, as he predicts that the meme coin can shed another zero from its current price and rise to $0.0001. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at around $0.00002603, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
