Toncoin and Quant are two altcoins that have witnessed a surge in whale transactions recently, something that could foreshadow volatility for their prices. Toncoin & Quant Have Seen A Spike In Whale Transaction Count In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the Whale Transaction Count for two altcoins: Toncoin (TON) and Quant (QNT). This indicator measures the total amount of transfers occurring on a given network that are carrying a value of more than $100,000. Generally, only the big-money investors or “whales” are capable of making transfers this large, so the metric’s value is considered to correspond to the activity from this cohort. These holders generally carry some degree of influence in the market, so whenever they are on the move, the market itself could experience fluctuations. This can make their activity worth keeping an eye on. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Most Resolute Diamond Hands Are Only Growing Older, Data Shows Below is the chart shared by Santiment that shows how the Whale Transaction Count has changed for Toncoin and Quant over the last few months. As is visible in the graph, the Whale Transaction Count has seen a large spike for both Toncoin and Quant recently, suggesting the whales have been active on the networks. Interestingly, despite being the much bigger network in terms of market cap, TON’s spike has only amounted to a value of 3, while QNT has observed the metric touch the 24 mark. That said, the small value that Toncoin has witnessed is still high when compared to the past. In fact, only one spike in the last three months has been compared to this one. In contrast, Quant has seen a few spikes of a similar scale. Thus, it would appear that whales just tend to be less active on TON in general. As for what the spikes could imply for the altcoins, price volatility may be coming, if the past is to go by. “Historically, large spikes in $100K+ sized moves foreshadow price direction changes,” explains the analytics firm. These changes, however, can occur in either direction. Whale Transaction Count only counts up the number of moves that the large entities are making and doesn’t contain any information about the breakdown between buy and sell moves.

The whales being active on the Toncoin and Quant networks could only suggest that some sort of sharp price action may be on the horizon. TON Price At the time of writing, Toncoin is floating around $3.1, down around 1.6% over the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com

Avalanche (AVAX) has been riding a wave of optimism as bulls push for a breakout above the crucial $27–$28 resistance zone. Currently, AVAX trades just above $26.5, marking its fourth consecutive day of gains. Related Reading: Dogecoin Adam And Eve Pattern Teases Explosive Breakout: Here’s The Price Target The move comes as Ava Labs strengthens its ecosystem with two high-profile partnerships: an MoU with Korean firm WeBlock to expand real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and a collaboration with Toyota Blockchain Lab on mobility infrastructure. AVAX's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: AVAXUSD chart from Tradingview Strategic Partnerships Drive Real-World Adoption for Avalanche The WeBlock deal is set to introduce regulation-compliant tokenized products and a new stablecoin pilot in South Korea. Meanwhile, the Toyota partnership aims to build the Mobility Open Network (MON), a blockchain-based system designed for smart transport, shared mobility, and even robotaxi fleets. Together, these initiatives reinforce Avalanche’s leadership in combining blockchain with practical real-world applications. Derivatives and Technical Indicators Support Bullish Outlook Market data shows AVAX open interest has surged to a record $1.07 billion, signaling strong capital inflows from derivatives traders. This suggests rising confidence that Avalanche is poised for a breakout. On the technical front, AVAX is trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, confirming a Golden Cross and strengthening bullish sentiment. The RSI currently sits at 61, leaving room for further upside before hitting overbought levels. Similarly, the MACD histogram has turned positive, with its line crossing above the signal line earlier this week, both classic signs of accelerating momentum. AVAX Price Prediction: Bulls Eye $30 and Beyond If AVAX secures a decisive close above $26.9, analysts project a move toward the $29.78 pivot level, just shy of the $30 psychological milestone. A successful breakout could unlock further gains into the $32–$35 range within the next two to three weeks, aligning with broader bullish sentiment in altcoins like Solana (SOL) and Tron (TRX).

XRP has entered a shocking new phase of development, with reports confirming its ledger’s use in debt tokenization. This development comes when the United States (US) faces a multitrillion-dollar debt problem, drawing attention to the XRP Ledger’s (XRPL) potential role in modernizing how debt is managed and settled on a larger scale. As adoption for XRPL accelerates, its integration into debt-related infrastructure highlights how blockchain technology is beginning to intersect with the world’s largest financial challenges. XRP Ledger: A Potential National Debt Solution Crypto analyst SMQKE has alerted the crypto community to a shocking World Economic Forum (WEF) report, highlighting the XRP Ledger’s active use in tokenizing debt instruments. The report shared in an X social media post on Monday disclosed that Aurum Equity Partners has launched the world’s first combined private equity and tokenized debt fund, valued at $1 billion, using XRPL as its foundation. Related Reading: Ripple’s XRP Ledger Just Introduced A Pivotal Update In Its Quest For Dominance This fund was designed to fuel global data center investment, enhancing liquidity and investor access through secondary markets. Moreover, the launch of the tokenized debt fund is being hailed as a turning point because it combines Zoniqx’s tokenization technology with the speed, security, and efficiency of the XRP Ledger. Crypto analyst ‘X Finance Bull’ also described this recent development as a reconstruction of market architecture, where private equity, debt, and blockchain technology converge into a single system. He argued that XRPL’s ability to link equity and debt tokenization marks the beginning of a new financial standard—one that lowers barriers and offers exposure to markets previously reserved for institutions. More interestingly, as concerns grow over the US national debt, now exceeding $36 trillion, the potential for the XRP Ledger to be used as a solution remains uncertain. In theory, by enabling the tokenization of debt on a secure and transparent network, XRPL introduces the possibility of transforming trillion-dollar debt obligations into a more liquid, tradeable, and efficiently settled asset. XRP’s Expanding Role And Bullish Market Outlook In light of XRPL’s latest debt tokenization breakthrough, X Finance Bull released an optimistic forecast for XRP’s price performance. He argued that with the ledger now carrying a $1 billion tokenized equity and debt fund, entire sectors within this market are beginning to migrate onto XRP rails. As a result, this positions XRPL as the backbone of a new financial system. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The XRP Price If 10% Of Global Assets Are Tokenized The crypto analyst has also indicated that XRP’s price potential is far greater than current expectations. While some anticipate a move toward $10, X Finance Bull projects that XRP could rise into the four-figure range as tokenized debt and equity markets expand into trillions of dollars. Whether or not the forecasted target proves accurate, the recent Aurum debt fund launch underscores that XRPL is already operating at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain technology.

A Bitcoin farm in Missouri is cooking up a rare stew: ranching, Bitcoin, and a freedom-driven community. At the center of it is Ryan Cooper — a rancher, libertarian political candidate, and community builder who has become one of the key figures driving the orange signal forward in St. Francois County. I had the chance to sit down with Ryan for a full-length conversation, which turned into an hour-long YouTube interview. In it, he opens up about his path to Bitcoin, his faith, his family, and the vision he has for the ranch. It’s well worth a listen for anyone curious how grassroots sovereignty really works in practice. link to youtube From Politics to Pastures Ryan didn’t come into politics the usual way. “In 2022 there wasn’t a single challenger to any political office in our entire Southeast Missouri county. So the last day of sign ups I put my name in to run for presiding county commissioner as a libertarian.” That wasn’t about chasing power — it was about shining light where there was none. As Ryan says, politics can be an amplifier, but the real revolution comes from the soil up. Even a “losing” campaign boosts the signal. Meanwhile, his family continues to live and work on the ranch, supporting local farmers and homesteaders, connecting with butcher shops and distributors, and weaving together a circular economy. Beef here isn’t just food; it’s sovereignty. Lunch, Late Nights, and Honest Stories I first met Ryan at the Bitcoin Hub and later hung out with him at the BTCHEL conference. We ended up sharing lunch, and as these things go, the evening turned into late-night conversations over drinks. Ryan was easy to make friends with — charismatic, with a story that’s both deeply authentic and refreshingly candid. He shares personal stories of triumph and failure alike, which is rare in a space often dominated by bravado. It left me hoping I’ll get to visit the Missouri ranch one day and see this community experiment firsthand. Homestead Breakfasts & Orange Pills This isn’t theory. The ranch regularly hosts homestead breakfasts for Bitcoiners and newcomers to the ecosystem. Eggs, bacon, black coffee — and a side of orange pill. These gatherings are a real on-ramp, not another sterile conference-room pitch session. And Bitcoin Conference – September 20th On September 20th, the ranch will host the first “And Bitcoin Conference.” Forget corporate sponsorships and sterile convention centers. This is Bitcoin grounded in dirt, sweat, and food straight from the land. If you can make it, show up. If not, you can still catch the full interview I did with Ryan — an hour-long dive into his journey with Bitcoin, politics, faith, and the community they’re building in St. Francois. Join Texas Slim & other bitcoiners in Downtown Farmington at 11 N. Jefferson Street, 63640. “This event will be during the Blues Brews Festival, but we have reserved our own patio to hang with other bitcoiners”. Signal from the Soil Ryan Cooper and his ranch aren’t just running cattle or nodes. They’re showing how Bitcoin ties into the essentials: soil, food, family, and freedom. As Ryan put it to me one night: “God did not give me a flight response.” We laughed about how there’s a fine line between stupid and courage — but that’s exactly where real change happens.
