Shiba Inu has recorded a notable surge in spot trading activity on several exchanges over the last seven days. This provides a bullish outlook for the second-largest meme coin by market cap, which has been one of the underperformers in this market cycle. Shiba Inu Sees Surge In Spot Trading Activity CoinGlass data show a 154% surge in Shiba Inu USD spot trading volume on Kraken over the last seven days. There has also been a significant surge on other major exchanges, such as Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Gemini, during the same period. This indicates that spot buyers may be stepping in to defend the SHIB price at a critical support amid the broader crypto market decline. Related Reading: Will A Shiba Inu ETF Follow After Dogecoin? The Lone SHIB Filing Standing Against The Crowd Notably, Shiba Inu is one of the altcoins that are in the green over the last week, suggesting that the bulls may be in control at the moment. CoinMarketCap data shows that the second-largest meme coin by market cap is up almost 7% during this period despite Bitcoin’s choppy price action. Meanwhile, further data from CoinGlass also shows that most leverage traders are currently betting on an increase in the Shiba Inu price, with the long/short ratio currently above 1. However, it is worth noting that derivatives volume is down by over 10% and open interest is down by almost 4%, which presents a bearish outlook for the meme coin. Another positive for Shiba Inu, besides the surge in spot trading volume, is that the Fed is likely to cut interest rates again at this week’s FOMC meeting. This could inject more liquidity into the crypto market, with altcoins like SHIB benefiting from it. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is currently looking to hold above the psychological $90,000 level, which could pave the way for higher prices for SHIB given their positive correlation. Community Gives Update On SHIB’s Progress In an X post, Shiba Inu community member Shibizens gave an update on SHIB’s progress over the last few days. The community member noted that over 45 billion SHIB have been moved off exchanges, indicating that holders are accumulating. Shibizens also alluded to a $35 million whale transfer into a private wallet, suggesting that SHIB whales are also bullish. Related Reading: Will The Shiba Inu Price Hit A New All-Time High In 2025?

Meanwhile, NYSE Arca has filed the 19b-4 for T. Rowe’s Shiba Inu ETF, bringing the ETF one step closer to launch. Shibuzens also highlighted upgrades on the Shibarium network, which could provide a major boost for SHIB. This includes the RPC upgrade, while a full privacy upgrade has been confirmed using encrypted tech. There are plans to roll this out by next year. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.000008498, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP price is currently more than 45% below its all-time high and continues to decline amid broader market uncertainty. Despite the slow price action and weak momentum, a crypto analyst has projected that XRP could explode to $50 soon, providing reasons for his ambitious forecast. He boldly stated that the cryptocurrency will not experience a gradual climb to $5 or $10 first, but will instead jump straight to $50. XRP To Hit $50 With A Ripple Bank Charter Crypto analyst Pumpius has outlined a compelling scenario that could dramatically transform XRP’s market outlook. The market expert claims that a single regulatory event could catapult XRP’s price to $50, representing more than a 2,300% increase from current levels around $2. In his thread post on X, he explained the reasons for his bold prediction and the trigger behind this parabolic surge . Related Reading: Here’s How High The Dogecoin Price Will Go Once The MACD Bullish Cross Happens Pumpius believes that XRP could skyrocket to $50 once Ripple secures a national trust bank charter from the United States Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). According to him, approval of this banking license would give Ripple the same powers as major US banks, as well as direct access to the Federal Reserve (FED). The analyst noted that through the charter, Ripple could gain the authority to custody crypto and tokenized assets, issue stablecoins, and settle securities under complete regulatory oversight. He described the potential approval of the banking license as a foundational move that could establish Ripple as a leading force in US tokenized finance. Pumpius highlighted that XRP remains at the centre of the changes, positioned as the native bridge asset in this potential structure. He suggested that with a charter in place, banks, brokers, and funds could bypass intermediaries and interact directly with Ripple to move value into tokenized markets. According to the analyst’s predictions, the result of this shift could be a massive, sustained surge in liquidity and institutional demand for XRP, creating the ideal conditions for an unprecedented price rally. He explains that with $6.6 trillion moving through banks each day in global settlements, even a small fraction routed through XRP’s limited supply could drive its price higher toward $50. While the market expert’s forecast is ambitious, it hinges entirely on the OCC’s decision, which is not guaranteed and could be influenced by compliance standards, risk assessments, and broader financial policy considerations. Even with approval, actual integration by major institutions would likely take considerable time and depend on competition with existing settlement networks. Ripple Legal Victory Paves Way For $50 XRP Price In his post, Pumpius suggested that Ripple’s prolonged legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was part of a broader strategy to secure regulatory clarity. He viewed the former lawsuit as a smokescreen intended to delay, filter, and prepare the path for a national trust bank charter under the OCC. With the case now resolved, the analyst indicates that the timing is perfect for Ripple to pursue full regulatory approval and integrate XRP into mainstream banking channels. Related Reading: Ethereum Founder Breaks Silence With Major Upgrade Proposal Pumpius boldly declared that the day the OCC approves Ripple’s banking license will mark a turning point for XRP, transforming it from a cryptocurrency to “the rails of US finance.” At that point, the analyst argues that a $50 price target would be significantly undervalued.
