As traditional finance deepens its footprint, issuers say ETFs are reshaping access, liquidity, and the global structure of digital asset investing.
Ondo is gaining significant institutional traction after being selected to participate in a key working group led by DTCC. This move places Ondo in direct collaboration with established financial institutions and infrastructure leaders, working to define how traditional assets can be brought on-chain at scale. What Ondo’s DTCC Role Means For The Broader Crypto Market In a recent post on X, Ondo Finance has revealed that the firm has been selected to join an industry working group led by Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a major initiative aimed at advancing tokenization across the United States capital markets. DTCC currently custodies over $114 trillion in assets and has processed an estimated $3.7 quadrillion in transactions annually. Related Reading: Ondo Finance Brings Tokenized Stocks, ETFs To BNB Chain With New Expansion The initiative focuses on building a tokenization service designed to bring the core of the US capital market infrastructure on-chain, with Ondo among the selected group of firms contributing to its design. With this initiative, Ondo is positioned to work alongside major financial institutions such as BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Franklin Templeton, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citadel Securities, NYSE Group, Circle, Fireblocks, Robinhood, and more. Furthermore, the DTCC President and CEO, Frank La Salla, emphasized the significance of this transition, noting that tokenization has the potential to transform how markets operate, unlocking new levels of liquidity, transparency, and efficiency for investors. With over 50 years of experience, the DTCC has been at the center of US capital markets. Its decision to build a tokenization service and to bring Ondo to the table alongside the world’s leading financial institutions reflects how far tokenization has come. As the largest tokenizer of stocks, ETFs, and US Treasuries, Ondo is well-positioned to help shape the next phase of financial innovation, one that aims to keep US markets competitive in an increasingly digital and global economy. Institutional Adoption Accelerates Beyond Experimentation In another major move, Franklin Templeton, a $1.7 trillion asset manager, has made a decisive move into blockchain by choosing Ondo Finance as its gateway to the next generation of investors. An analyst known as 2xnmore on X highlighted that instead of building its own infrastructure or relying on traditional financial intermediaries, the firm has opted to leverage Ondo’s existing on-chain rails. Related Reading: Bitget and Bitget Wallet Support Trading of Over 100 Tokenized Assets via Ondo Finance Through the Ondo global markets, five ETFs are now live and tradeable 24/7 directly from crypto wallets. This removes many of the traditional barriers associated with investing, such as brokerage accounts, geographic limitations outside the US, and reliance on intermediaries, offering a more open approach. Ondo currently controls an estimated 70% of the tokenized equity market, while targeting the much larger $30 trillion global ETF market. Also, this massive gap between Ondo’s current footprint and its potential addressable market underscores the scale of the opportunity ahead. Meanwhile, the broader message is clear. Wall Street is no longer approaching crypto as an experiment. Instead, institutions are approaching blockchain as a more efficient infrastructure layer, and Ondo built the rails first.

While ETF inflows have resumed, the recovery has yet to match last fall’s peak.
XRP is entering a critical phase as its price action tightens within a symmetrical triangle, signaling that a major move may be imminent. With volatility compressing and market pressure building, the current structure suggests that a breakout could be both sharp and decisive. Triangle Compression Tightens As XRP Nears Apex XRP is currently exhibiting a classic consolidation phase, carving out a well-defined symmetrical triangle on the daily chart. According to analyst Ali Charts, as the price action funnels toward the apex of this formation, market energy is coiling intensely, a phenomenon that historically precedes a massive spike in volatility. Related Reading: XRP Signals Massive Breakout: $10 Target In Sight As Momentum Builds Based on the height of the triangle formation, technical projections suggest that a decisive breakout could trigger a price movement of approximately 26%. However, because symmetrical triangles are inherently neutral patterns, they offer no directional bias until the price escapes the structure. To avoid the risks associated with market noise and fake-outs, a strict no-trade zone has been designated between $1.35 and $1.45. Engaging in positions within this narrow corridor often results in being trapped by short-term fluctuations that do not reflect the true trend. The most prudent strategy involves waiting for a confirmed daily close outside of this range to validate the next leg. A successful close above the $1.45 resistance would set a bullish target of $1.82, while a breach below the $1.35 support could see the price slide toward the $1.00 level. Despite steady institutional inflows via ETFs, retail momentum is still waiting for a spark; therefore, patience is the primary advantage until the market prints a definitive close. Bear Trap Setup Signals Potential Market Deception In a recent technical update, Egrag Crypto suggests that the current XRP market structure is potentially laying the groundwork for one of the most significant bear traps in its history. This setup typically involves a deceptive downward move designed to lure sellers into short positions just before a massive upward expansion. According to the analysis, this maneuver often precedes a major breakout, serving as the final liquidity grab before the next leg up. Related Reading: XRP Price Set To Rise As It’s Set To Capture A $180 Trillion Market; Analyst The technical indicators suggest that price compression has reached a state of maturity, with the market structure tightening. This phase of the market cycle is specifically designed to shake out weak hands before the momentum flips from consolidation to a violent trend. A critical component of this thesis is the invalidation level, which currently sits at the $1.80 mark. A decisive daily close above this resistance, combined with a confirmed breakout from the prevailing falling wedge pattern, would effectively cancel the bear trap theory. Until that breakout occurs, the current setup remains a high-probability scenario for a violent market movement. Maintaining a strategic perspective during this tightening phase is essential, as the eventual exit from this pattern is expected to be both swift and aggressive.

Crypto pundit Remi has explained the impact that the Japanese Bond gap could have on the XRP price reaching $150. This came as he declared that the rising Japanese 10-bond yield is a good thing for XRP holders but bad for the world. What The Rising Japanese Bond Yield Means For The XRP Price In an X post, Remi, alluding to the rising Japanese 10-year bond yield, stated that this was a good thing for XRP holders but bad for the globe. He explained that the rising yields will likely prompt the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to raise interest rates, which would cause panic among everyone who borrowed money from Japan at 0% interest. Related Reading: Why XRP Supply Crashing On Coinbase Is A Good Thing For The Price He further remarked that the loan holders will sell their investments to repay their loans, which causes a liquidity crisis. Remi noted that this is where XRP comes into play and “saves the day,” as the reverse Carry Trade will take place, causing the XRP price to reach between $50 and $150. Remi described this as the “price before law,” stating that the XRP price can reach $100 before the CLARITY Act gets passed. He said it all depends on Japan and what they want to do with interest rates. The pundit added that if U.S. President Donald Trump gives them the green light, then this can all unfold in days. The pundit also alleged that Japanese banks are waiting for the CLARITY Act to begin using XRP at 100% in Japan. This came as he questioned whether the XRP price surge would precede the CLARITY Act or whether the bill would be signed before the Reverse Carry Trade. He suggested that the Reverse Carry Trade could happen first, as the energy crisis due to the U.S.-Iran war could force the BOJ to hike rates. XRP Could Still Reach $1,000 In another X post, Remi stated that the XRP price could reach $1,000 if the altcoin continues to follow the 2017 bull run, when it recorded a surge of over 40,000%. He noted that the altcoin surged 76,000% without any FOMO, institutions, utility, ETFs, or supply shock. The pundit opined that if XRP follows the same trend and gets a 76,000% increase, assuming the bottom is in, then the altcoin could rally above $1,000. Related Reading: Will The XRP Price Crash Further From Here? Major Levels To Watch He also indicated that an XRP price rally to $1,000 is conservative if one were to add FOMO, institutions, utility, XRP ETFs, and supply shock. Remi advised market participants to take profits at various intervals unless they have the financial means to wait and take risks. “Always remember…Anything can go wrong. Be smart,” he added. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.33, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
Adoption of Bitcoin and Ethereum is poised to take a significant step forward as Charles Schwab introduces direct trading for both assets on its platform. As one of the largest financial institutions in the world, managing trillions in client assets, Schwab’s entry into the crypto space represents a major bridge between traditional finance and digital assets. What Schwab’s Move Means For Bitcoin And Ethereum Liquidity A $12 trillion asset, Charles Schwab, is preparing to launch direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for users. Crypto commentator Leolanza revealed on X that the development highlights a broader trend that traditional financial platforms are making it easier for everyday investors to buy crypto through the same systems they already use for stocks and ETFs. Related Reading: Markets On Edge: $16.4B In Bitcoin And Ethereum Options Expire Set To Today By enabling crypto trading directly within a familiar brokerage platform, Schwab is reducing friction and expanding access for more capital to flow into both BTC and ETH. The intersection between quantum computing and crypto is drawing closer, as a new blockchain has been launched specifically to resist quantum attacks. Crypto trader MANDO CT has noted that while this may sound futuristic, the risk being addressed is increasingly viewed as legitimate within the industry. Today, leading networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum rely on encryption that is highly secure under current technological limits, but could be vulnerable in the future if a significant breakthrough in quantum computing advancements occurs. While the risk still feels distant to most investors, the groundwork to address it is already being laid. Mando CT pointed out that narratives in crypto rarely wait for full clarity until the risk becomes obvious. Instead, they tend to build gradually before reaching a tipping point. Similar to how Artificial Intelligence evolved from early signals into a dominant global trend, quantum-resistant technology could follow the same trajectory. Transforming Blockchain Into A Developer Ecosystem The evolution of blockchain technology is the progression of ideas built upon the foundations laid by Bitcoin. Analyst Dave highlighted that BTC introduced the world to a decentralized, censorship-resistant digital money that operates outside traditional financial systems. It established the core principles of sound money and financial sovereignty. Related Reading: Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Are Struggling Again, And Here’s What’s Behind It Building on that foundation, ETH learned from BTC by adding smart contracts, enabling developers to create platforms for decentralized applications and unlocking new possibilities in programmable finance and digital assets. Cardano took these ideas further by focusing on a rigorous research-driven approach and scalability, and combining BTC’s security with ETH’s flexibility. Dave highlights its focus on sustainability, decentralized ecosystem governance by its community, scarcity, and reliability. However, a solid foundation with integrated upgradeability is not just for enterprises, but is capable of government adoption. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview.com
An XRP analyst has outlined the dramatic changes that could happen for the cryptocurrency as Ripple positions itself to integrate with a massive $12.5 trillion payments ecosystem. In a detailed post on X, the analyst highlighted Ripple’s $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury, which the crypto company has since rebranded as Ripple Treasury. This strategic takeover now grants Ripple access to an extensive network of traditional banks and a massive payment volume, which the expert believes could benefit the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and, in turn, drive the cryptocurrency’s price upward. Ripple Gains Access To $12.5 Trillion Market Market analyst X Finance Bull has questioned what possible price changes and developmental milestones could occur if Ripple can tap into a $12.5 trillion payment pipeline. In his post on X, he explained that the launch of Ripple Treasury now grants Ripple access to over 13,000 connected banks and more than 1,000 corporate clients, including Volvo, Subway, and STIHL. Collectively, these clients handle a combined annual payment volume of $12.5 trillion. Related Reading: XRP Expert Says The Moment Has Finally Come, Here’s What He Means Right now, zero percent of this enormous payment flow passes through cryptocurrencies, a gap that X Finance Bull said represents a major opportunity for XRP. He also claimed that Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, had made the same point, noting that Ripple was specifically designed to bridge this gap. Currently, Ripple Treasury manages the company’s full corporate workflow, covering payments, cash forecasting, netting, reconciliation, risk, liquidity, and regulatory reporting. To make this work, X Finance Bull stated that ClearConnect, a proprietary API connectivity suite launched by GTreasury in 2022, will serve as a bridge linking Ripple Treasury to banks and ERP systems. And on the other side, with XRPL, Ripple’s blockchain infrastructure. This approach will enable payments and financial operations to move on the blockchain without requiring companies to change their existing systems. It also creates a multi-utility powerhouse under one ecosystem, consisting of wallet storage, payments, custody, prime brokerage, and compliance. Supply Limits And Payment Volume To Fuel XRP Price Growth In his post, X Finance Bull noted that 769 million XRP tokens are currently locked in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), which collectively manage $1.1 billion in assets across seven funds. He noted that this concentration is significantly tightening XRP’s available supply, which could place upward pressure on its price. Related Reading: XRP To Enter This $100 Trillion Custody Pool And This Is How It Will Happen Meanwhile, the analyst stated that the $12.5 trillion in annual payments from Ripple Treasury could have a significant impact on prices if it moves through XRPL. The analyst projected that if just 1% of this volume were to flow through the XRP Ledger, it would generate about $125 billion in new annual transaction volume for the blockchain. He noted that such volumes could dramatically influence liquidity demand and XRP’s price behavior. Additionally, X Finance Bull highlighted that, given XRP’s strong infrastructure, the cryptocurrency’s current price below $1.4 significantly underestimates its real-world potential.

The post The next Bitcoin shock could be where Wall Street finally loses faith and starts selling appeared first on CryptoSlate.
As Wall Street accelerates its shift toward tokenized assets, XRP is increasingly being viewed as a potential bridge at the center of this transformation. Major financial players are exploring blockchain-based versions of stocks, ETFs, and the demand for efficient, real-time settlement infrastructure is intensifying. This shift is placing renewed focus on blockchain solutions capable of supporting global-scale liquidity and interoperability. How XRP Gains Relevance In Tokenized Financial Markets The shift toward tokenized finance is accelerating, with Ripple and XRP increasingly positioned at the center of Wall Street transformation. An analyst known as Pumpius on X revealed that a key part of this development is a reported collaboration between Franklim Templeton, worth $1.7 trillion, and Ondo Finance to issue tokens backed by real-world assets such as stocks and ETFs. Related Reading: Ripple Pushes XRP Global With Multi-Continent Expansion Drive Pumpius argues that while this is being framed as innovation, it connected the dots. At the early stage of this partnership, Ripple and Ondo have already introduced tokenized US Treasuries through OUSG on the XRP Ledger, leveraging RLUSD for near-instant minting and redemption. In parallel, Ripple has collaborated with Franklin Templeton and DBS Bank to explore tokenized fund trading and lending with sgBENJI and RLUSD on the XRPL. Currently, Franklin Templeton is reportedly moving into the ecosystem, using Ondo to tokenize its own EFTs, growth funds, large-cap stocks, gold, high-yield bonds, and income products. Within this model, the XRP Ledger serves as the underlying rails, and the Ripple RLUSD stablecoin facilitates settlement. This quietly reinforces the role of the XRP ecosystem in enabling seamless asset movement. XRP Ledger Moves From Experimentation To Real-World Deployment A major shift may be underway across Africa as Ripple expands its infrastructure footprint, particularly around the XRP Ledger. Crypto analyst Stellar Rippler has reported that Nigeria is currently adopting the Ledger infrastructure through instant Naira payouts and payments, Ripple Custody, and zero-knowledge privacy pilots on the XRPL. Related Reading: Why SWIFT’s Latest Global Payments Infrastructure Is Bullish For XRP Holders One of the most notable advancements in this move is Ripple supercharging crypto-to-Naira payment through Redotpay, enabling users to send XRP or RLUSD and receive local currency directly into Nigerian bank accounts within minutes. On the institutional side, Absa Bank, one of South Africa’s biggest banks, is now Ripple’s first major custody partner on the continent. Ripple has also collaborated with Mobile Financial Services (MFS) to bring on-demand liquidity (ODL) solutions across Africa. Meanwhile, a pilot program led by the DNAOnChain initiative involving zero-knowledge (ZK) privacy technology is reportedly underway on the XRPL testnet in Nigeria. These zero-knowledge proofs are anchoring real privacy infrastructure. According to Stellar Rippler, they don’t want individuals connecting the dots on Africa’s remittance revolution, including private on-chain infrastructure and institutional rails.

The potential impact of Ripple securing a full banking license is gaining significant traction after Teucrium Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sal Gilbertie discussed the crypto company’s massive holdings and the XRP price. Analysts are now weighing what it could mean if the XRP price climbs to $3 on the back of Ripple’s potential transformation from a crypto-focused firm into a top licensed bank. The XRP Price If Ripple Becomes A Top Bank In a recent X post, a crypto market commentator announced that Ripple could become a top-20 bank globally by market capitalization if it secures a full banking license. She published a video interview featuring Teucrium CEO Paul Barron and the host of the Paul Barron Network. Related Reading: Inside Ripple’s Buying And Selling Cycle — And Its Impact On XRP During the interview, Gilbertie laid out a scenario in which Ripple could become one of the largest banks in the world by simply maintaining its existing XRP holdings. He emphasized that if the crypto company obtains a full banking license, its 40 million XRP held in escrow could dramatically increase its balance sheet value and elevate its market position. By retaining the tokens, Ripple could automatically leverage them as a strategic asset in a regulated banking environment. Gilbertie also highlighted that if the crypto company becomes a licensed bank, it could propel the XRP price to $3, and from there, Ripple could be ranked among the top 20 banks globally by capitalization. The interview also explored the potential scaling if XRP reaches “multiples of $3.” The Teucrium CEO emphasized that Ripple’s valuation would expand in proportion to the cryptocurrency’s price, potentially propelling it to the top as the world’s leading bank. The interview also addressed on-chain operations and traditional financial infrastructures such as ETFs. When Barron asked whether leveraged ETFs could ever be on-chain, Sal confidently said yes, noting that all financial instruments will eventually operate on-chain. His response suggests a future in which traditional finance could be fully integrated with digital assets and blockchain technology. Update On Ripple’s Banking License Status Ripple has continued to progress through regulatory pathways that would allow it to operate with bank-like authority in the US. The crypto company previously received conditional preliminary approval from the United States Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for a national trust bank charter. Related Reading: Inside Ripple’s Buying And Selling Cycle — And Its Impact On XRP This approval places Ripple alongside a handful of other crypto firms that have also taken steps toward becoming regulated banks under US law. While full approval has not yet been granted, Ripple continues to develop its payment rails through acquisitions, partnerships, and share buybacks. At the same time, XRP, the primary token supported by Ripple, is currently trading at $1.43 after rallying 14% this week to $1.6. Although it has given up most of its gains, analysts still maintain a bullish outlook for the cryptocurrency. Featured image from X, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Merlijn revealed that Bitcoin has flashed the most powerful fractal in the markets right now. This comes amid BTC’s rally to a one-month high of $75,000 despite the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Bitcoin Flashes Most Powerful Fractal In Markets Right Now In an X post, Merlijn stated that Bitcoin has formed the most powerful fractal in the market right now. He noted that gold had formed this structure in 1974, when it completed three waves, followed by a Fibonacci extension and a parabolic move. Now, BTC is forming an identical structure, with the third step forming. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Bulls Have Won And This Is The Next Target The analyst further said that $62,000 is the last line before the Fibonacci extension opens, and that if BTC holds this level, then the $226,000 Fibonacci target unlocks. However, if the leading crypto loses this level, then the fractal gets one more low first. Merlijn added that BTC is pointing to the same outcome as gold, with a parabolic move on the horizon. In another X post, the analyst provided a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, citing global liquidity. He noted that M2 is expanding again and that BTC has just entered the green accumulation zone. Merlijn explained that the last two times this combination appeared, BTC multiplied. He added that a hold above $74,000 will confirm this liquidity cycle, while a drop below $65,000 means one more compression before a rally to the upside. Bitcoin rallied to $75,000 yesterday, signaling that the leading crypto was again seeing bullish momentum despite the U.S.-Iran conflict. Veteran trader Peter Brandt suggested that BTC could rally above $80,000 in the short term. Market Conditions Show Signs Of Stabilization And Market Recovery In a research report, the on-chain analytics platform Glassnode said that market conditions are showing signs of stabilization and gradual recovery. The spot CVD is said to have flipped decisively positive, which Glassnode noted reflects a return of aggressive buying pressure. Furthermore, the derivatives markets reflect rising but cautious engagement. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Base Case: What To Expect Before The Run-Up Above $100,000 Glassnode stated that futures open interest has edged higher as futures CVD surged, while funding payments moved further into negative territory, which points to persistent short positioning. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin ETFs are seeing renewed interest, although the on-chain analytics platform noted the total ETF trading volume has cooled slightly from prior elevated levels. Lastly, Glassnode mentioned that on-chain activity remains relatively muted, with active addresses declining below their lower band and transfer volumes improving modestly but remaining subdued. Fee volume is said to have remained stable, which reflects steady but quiet network usage. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $74,100, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
