Public blockchains have seen two fundamental structural barriers to widespread adoption.

This fragmentation has created an engineering tax that slows progress, with 2024 seeing the first net decline in new developer participation […]

According to market reports, two ETF decisions are coming up in October. Grayscale faces an Oct. 18 deadline, while Canary is set for Oct. 24. Related Reading: Mastercard Stresses Crypto Is An Enhancement, Not A Substitute A Polymarket poll, which has roughly $150,000 in assets, shows approval odds rising to 87% from an August low of 64%. Some traders say those odds are helping prices because investors expect the US regulator to wrap up multiple ETF filings around the same time, as was the case with spot Bitcoin and Ethereum approvals earlier this year. Market Flows And Demand Data Reports have disclosed strong flows into crypto funds, and analysts point to those moves when discussing potential XRP demand. XRP rose 3% on Tuesday to $2.80, pulling back from this week’s low of $2.68. The move trimmed part of a slide that has pushed the token about 23% below its year-to-date peak of $3.6654. Traders told market watchers they were watching the pair of ETF deadlines on the calendar as one reason for the bounce. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have taken in over $54 billion in inflows, while Ethereum funds show about $13 billion. Existing XRP-related ETFs from providers such as Teucrium and ProShares have pulled in millions in assets, according to filings and industry commentary. The newly launched CME futures for XRP reached more than $1 billion in open interest quickly, a pace that has been noted by some market participants as a sign of appetite for XRP trading exposure. Technical Setup Points To A Possible Breakout XRP fell from a July high of $3.66 to roughly $2.80 recently. That drop is being read by some technicians as part of a falling wedge pattern, which many chart readers view as a bullish formation. Risks Remain Meanwhile, regulatory timing is uncertain. The US regulator has postponed related ETF decisions multiple times, and another delay is possible. Broader market weakness could blunt demand even if approvals arrive. Reports and market commentaries caution that past outcomes for Bitcoin and Ethereum do not automatically guarantee identical results for XRP, given differences in market structure and history.

Still, traders say it will take clear confirmations — either from regulatory filings or strong fund flows — to extend gains beyond the current bounce. For now, XRP sits between support near $2.68 and the $4 target that would signal a more sustained move higher. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Crypto sits at the heart of Ray Dalio’s new message. On September 3, 2025, the Bridgewater Associates founder published a point-by-point rebuttal to what he called the Financial Times’ “mischaracterizations,” releasing the full written Q&A he says he provided to the paper. The exchange restates his “Big Debt Cycle” framework and argues that rising US debt burdens, risks to Federal Reserve independence, and mounting geopolitical fractures are eroding the dollar’s role as a store of wealth—conditions that he says are boosting gold and crypto. Why Crypto Is An “An Attractive Alternative” Dalio frames the US fiscal position as late-cycle and dangerously self-reinforcing. “The great excesses that are now projected as a result of the new budget will likely cause a debt-induced heart-attack in the relatively near future—I’d say three years, give or take a year or two,” he wrote. He quantified the near-term squeeze in stark terms, citing “about $1 trillion a year in interest” and “about $9 trillion needed to roll over the debt,” alongside roughly “$7 trillion” in spending versus “$5 trillion” in revenues, requiring “an additional roughly $2 trillion in debt.” That expanding supply, he argued, collides with weakening demand when investors question whether bonds “are good storeholds of wealth.” Related Reading: Crypto Bull Run Dead? Analyst Says The Real Top Isn’t Here Yet The fulcrum, in Dalio’s telling, is now the Federal Reserve. If political pressure undermines the central bank’s independence, he warned, “we will see an unhealthy decline in the value of money.” Should a “politically weakened Fed” allow inflation to “run hot,” the consequence would be that “bonds and the dollar [go] down in value” and, if not remedied, becoming “an ineffective storehold of wealth and the breaking down of the monetary order as we know it.” He linked this to a broader late-cycle pattern: foreign holders “reducing their holdings of US bonds and increasing their holdings of gold due to geopolitical worries,” which he called “classically symptomatic” of the endgame. Dalio connected the macro and political strands to a more interventionist policy backdrop, referencing actions “to take control of what businesses do” and likening the current phase to the 1928–1938 period. He did not pin the dynamic on a single administration—“this situation has been going on for a long time under presidents from both parties”—but said post-2008 and especially post-2020 policies accelerated it. “The interaction of these five forces will lead to huge and unimaginable changes over the next 5 years,” he added, listing debt, domestic politics, geopolitics, acts of nature, and technology (with AI most important) as the drivers. Within that late-cycle schema, Dalio placed crypto squarely in the “hard currency” bucket. “Crypto is now an alternative currency that has its supply limited,” he wrote. “If the supply of dollar money rises and/or the demand for it falls, that would likely make crypto an attractive alternative currency.” He tied the recent “rises in gold and cryptocurrency prices” to “reserve currency governments’ bad debt situations,” and reiterated his long-running focus on “storeholds of wealth.” Related Reading: This Altcoin Is A 12,500% Crypto Bet Until 2028, Says Arthur Hayes On whether crypto could “meaningfully replace the dollar,” he emphasized mechanics over labels, noting that “most fiat currencies, especially those with large debts, will have problems being effective storeholds of wealth and will go down in value relative to hard currencies,” a pattern he said echoed the 1930–1940 and 1970–1980 episodes. Dalio addressed crypto stablecoin risk in that context, separating asset price drawdowns from systemic fragility: “I don’t think so,” he said when asked if stablecoins’ Treasury exposure is a systemic risk, adding that “a fall in the real purchasing power of Treasuries” is the real hazard—mitigated “if they are well-regulated.” He also rejected the notion that deregulation alone threatens the dollar’s reserve status: “No,” he said, pointing again to debt dynamics as the primary vulnerability. Dalio’s latest remarks fit within a decade-long evolution of his public stance on Bitcoin and crypto rather than a whiplash reversal. Early on, he emphasized gold as the superior “storehold of wealth” and warned that if Bitcoin ever became too successful, governments might restrict it—tempering enthusiasm with regulatory risk. By 2020–2021 he began calling Bitcoin “one hell of an invention,” acknowledged owning a small amount, and increasingly framed it as a portfolio diversifier that rhymes with digital gold, while still stressing its volatility and policy sensitivities. With his latest remarks, Dalio puts the entire crypto market inside the monetary hierarchy he uses to analyze late-cycle dynamics. At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $3.79 trillion.

Crypto analyst Jonathan Carter has alluded to a technical pattern for Shiba Inu, which points to a breakout to the upside. Based on this, he predicted that the meme coin could soon break above the psychological $0.00002 level, which could pave the way for higher prices. Shiba Inu Confirms Descending Channel Breakout In an X post, Carter said that the Shiba Inu descending channel breakout has been confirmed. He noted that the meme coin has successfully broken above the descending channel and is currently consolidating just below the MA 50 on the daily timeframe. Based on this, the analyst indicated that SHIB could record a rally of over 100%. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Price Set For 650% Expansion To $0.00009 ATH If This Happens This came as Carter stated that a move above this MA could trigger an explosive rise toward targets at $0.00001400, $0.00001750, $0.00002050, and $0.00002500. Meanwhile, his accompanying chart showed that Shiba Inu could rally further to $0.000033 if it successfully breaks above $0.000025. However, the $0.000033 level will mark a huge resistance for the meme coin. Notably, crypto analyst Javon Marks recently predicted that Shiba Inu could record a rally of over 163% to the $0.00003 range. He stated that the SHIB price had formed a bullish pattern in a regular bull divergence, which the MACD Histogram confirmed. Based on this, he declared that a reversal was on the horizon, with the meme coin rallying to the upside. These bullish predictions come amid a bearish sentiment toward the Shiba Inu price. The meme coin has underperformed the broader crypto market and is down over 42% year-to-date (YTD). However, crypto analyst Shib Spain is still bullish on the meme coin. He stated that the longer the meme coin’s accumulation continues, the more powerful the explosion will be. SHIB At Crossroads At The Moment In a TradingView post, crypto analyst CobraVanguard suggested that the Shiba Inu price is at a crossroads at the moment. This came as he highlighted a triangle pattern, which he stated would break in the direction it is breached, and the price would then move in that direction. His accompanying chart showed that $0.000012251 is the key level to watch out for as the meme coin decides its next move. Related Reading: Can Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Prices Recover? What To Expect In September A breakdown below this price level could send Shiba Inu to as low as $0.000011269. Meanwhile, a successful break above this level could send the meme coin to as high as $0.000014183 in the short term. This marks one of the price levels that Carter mentioned as SHIB eyes a rally above the psychological $0.00002 level. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001240, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
