Former #Ripple CTO David Schwartz says he believes $XRP could eventually flip $BTC .
Not because Bitcoin shrinks, but because XRP grows faster. Interesting way to look at it.
In crypto, sometimes the story isn't about one thing going down. Itโs about another thing growing much faster.
And that got me thinking about some of the growth happening on the TON side too. Omniston processed around $150K in cross-chain swap volume in a single day on August 25. ๐
To put that number into perspective, 150,000 kilometers is enough to travel around Earth roughly 3.5 times. ๐๐ Obviously, $150K is still early compared to the size of the overall crypto market, but I like watching these milestones build up.
Cross-chain liquidity is becoming more important as users and assets spread across different ecosystems.
For now, just keeping my eyes on the growth and seeing where Omniston takes it next.
Over $440B wiped out from US stocks at the open as the S&P 500 dropped around 0.55% after PPI came in hotter than expected. ๐ฌ You can feel the market getting a little nervous whenever inflation data comes in hotter than expected.
This is also why I like having different things on my radar instead of staring at one market all day.
While US stocks are dealing with the macro reaction, Iโm still doing my own thing picking up more $GRAM and staking $STON to keep stacking GEMSTON.
I honestly have no idea what GEMSTON will be worth tomorrow, next month, or even later on. ๐ But thatโs part of why Iโm interested in it. Iโm not treating it like guaranteed profit; Iโm just building my position and watching how the STONfi ecosystem develops. Thereโs been a lot happening around TON lately, and Iโve also been spending some time checking out the tokenized stocks available on STONfi.
Being able to look at crypto, TON DeFi, and tokenized versions of traditional assets from the same ecosystem is pretty interesting. So yeah, stocks can have their macro drama today ๐ Iโll still be around the charts, stacking $GRAM , staking $STON, and keeping my eyes open for what comes next. #USAugustPPIRisesLessThanExpected
Robinhood Chain memes are really getting the vibes right Some of these coins are pumping hard, and Iโm already seeing people moving from the $SOL trenches over to the $HOOD trenches. What caught my attention though is that you can now go from TON to Robinhood Chain directly through STONfi.
The flow is pretty simple: Connect your TON wallet, choose the asset you want to send, select Robinhood Chain as the destination, and choose the supported asset you want to receive.
From there, Omniston handles the cross-chain execution behind the scenes, connecting the liquidity needed to complete the swap. So instead of manually figuring out the whole route yourself, you can simply tell STONfi:
This is what Iโm sending โ this is where I want to send it โ this is what I want to receive.
TON asset โ Robinhood Chain asset. Thatโs the kind of UX I like.
Crypto already has enough moving parts If the infrastructure can make moving between chains feel this simple, Iโm all for it.
$SUI and the $XRP Ledger are showing some interesting stablecoin growth this week.
Suiโs stablecoin market cap grew 5.2%, while XRPL jumped 11.3% and crossed the $1B mark.
It reminds me of something simple: when you make something easier to use, you create more value. And when you keep making it better, that value can compound.
Thatโs part of what Iโve been watching with STON.fi and Omniston. Omniston just passed $3M+ in all-time cross-chain swap volume. ๐ $3M is a great start to the journey enough distance to make the Moon and back almost four times.
Still early, but itโs interesting to see cross-chain swaps gradually becoming a bigger part of how liquidity moves across ecosystems. And honestly, making that experience simpler is where a lot of the value lies. #Ripple
$NEAR is starting to pick up again Still keeping $SOL on my watchlist too. Feels like that big move could still come, so Iโm not sleeping on it yet.
While checking whatโs moving, I also noticed an interesting update on the TON side.
Omniston now supports the latest DeDust v2 and Tonco v2 pools. Small update on the surface, but I like what it means for swaps. There are now more TON liquidity sources for Omniston to compare when finding a route.
So instead of manually jumping between pools trying to figure out where you might get better execution, the routing happens in the background.
Itโs these little infrastructure upgrades that usually donโt get much attention, but they can make a noticeable difference as TON liquidity keeps growing.
Anyway, back to the charts NEAR and SOL are still on my radar.
Imagine putting $32K into $ZEC exactly one year ago and waking up a millionaire today.
ZEC is up roughly 3,000% over the past year. Crazy move. This is why I keep reminding myself that thereโs always something happening in crypto if youโre actually paying attention. Meanwhile, on the STONfi side, thereโs an interesting one currently running
โOne Swap. Across Chainsโ is now open for the waitlist. Itโs a guided cross-chain exploration campaign where you can complete interactive missions, collect miles and potentially unlock weekly rewards later on.
And if you join the waitlist early, you get 1,000 bonus miles. Iโm definitely keeping an eye on this one.
The market gives you the crazy price moves, while the ecosystem keeps quietly building underneath it. #zec
Got my eyes on the chart to see if this momentum can hold. $USELESS is also still on my radar honestly, Iโm starting to wonder if this is one of those early moves that people only recognize later.
Reminds me a bit of how $PEPE started getting attention before the bigger move came.
Meanwhile, if youโre looking for some DeFi activity on TON, here are a few STON.fi farms Iโm watching this week:
$USELESS just got a new listing and itโs already going parabolic Good to see some fresh momentum in the market, especially with bigger names like $BNB also starting to pick up.
But thereโs something interesting happening on the STON.fi side too. DeDust v2 and Tonco v2 pools have now joined Omniston. At first, this might sound like just another integration, but the bigger picture is liquidity.
TON has multiple DEXs and liquidity pools, and that liquidity can be spread across different places. So when you want to swap, the best route isn't always sitting in the pool you happen to be looking at. With DeDust v2 and Tonco v2 now included, Omniston has more liquidity sources to compare when routing swaps on $GRAM .
Instead of manually checking different pools and trying to figure out where you might get the better execution, the system can compare available routes in real time and select an efficient path. For the average user, you probably won't even notice the infrastructure doing its job.
You just select what you want to swap, check the quote, and confirm. But underneath that simple experience, more liquidity sources are being connected.
And honestly, thatโs the part I find interesting. More connected liquidity โ more routing options โ potentially better execution.
TON DeFi keeps getting more interconnected, and this is another small step in that direction.
USELESS pumping, BNB gaining momentum, and TON liquidity quietly getting deeper. Plenty to watch
PI seems to be picking up again and making a move back toward $1
Letโs see how this plays out. Iโve also been keeping an eye on $PONS on the STONfi side. The activity around some of these TON assets has been getting more interesting lately.
And thereโs another milestone worth mentioning: Omniston just passed $3M+ in all-time cross-chain swap volume. For me, the interesting part isn't just the $3M number. It shows that people are actually starting to use cross-chain liquidity rather than keeping their activity locked to one network.
Thatโs one of the bigger problems DeFi still has liquidity is spread across different ecosystems, and moving between them can sometimes feel like a chore.
STON.fi has been building toward making that experience simpler through Omniston, and seeing the volume start to build is a good sign.Still early, but
definitely something Iโll be watching as cross-chain activity grows. $PI, PONS and cross-chain liquidityโฆ lots to keep an eye on #pi
$XRP is officially hitting The Swamp Ripple has signed a multi-year partnership with the University of Florida, putting the XRP logo on the field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
The deal also includes support for financial and technology education across the university.
Seeing XRP move into major college sports like this is an interesting step toward mainstream visibility. #Ripple
Iโve been trying to get more involved with memes now that the trenches are heating up again. I missed some good runs like $MARSCOIN and $PONS, and I donโt want to stay on the sidelines this time.
So Iโm keeping it simple and building my alt portfolio around names like $WIF, $USELESS , and $SOL .
Thereโs clearly a lot of momentum in the meme side of the market right now. Iโm just looking for the setups where I think thereโs still room for a bigger move.
$USELESS is sitting at a key support zone right now, and the sentiment still looks positive from here.
If buyers continue to defend this area, I think a move toward the $0.30 zone is possible. The token has already seen strong momentum recently, with heavy trading activity and derivatives volume driving volatility.
On the other hand, $PUMP is also getting close to an important support level, but this setup feels a bit different. If support fails to hold, we could see more downside before the next meaningful bounce.
For now, itโs all about letting price action confirm the move rather than forcing a trade.
$ZEC is looking strong and $1,200 is starting to look like a realistic next target.
The price action and sentiment are both supporting the move right now. ZEC recently pushed above $1,000, so Iโm watching how it handles the next leg.
$XRP seems to be picking up some of that positive sentiment too. Altcoins are starting to wake up
