"Bitcoin Correction Signals Mid-Cycle Reset, Not Bull Market End"
The ongoing #Bitcoin correction is resetting market valuations rather than marking the end of the current bull cycle, according to CryptoQuant contributor CryptoZeno. In two separate analyses, he examined Bitcoin’s long-term holder (LTH) MVRV and Adjusted Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metrics. Both indicators suggest that experienced investors remain committed despite recent price weakness. Long-Term Holder MVRV Points to Valuation Reset Notably, Bitcoin is trading at $64,500, up 4% over the past day, but it remains down 49% from its all-time high. CryptoZeno said that Bitcoin holders who have held their coins for six months to 10 years are showing signs that the market is undergoing a reset rather than rushing to sell. Unlike the major market tops in 2017 and 2021, the adjusted MVRV indicator remains far below the levels that typically signal heavy profit-taking by long-term investors. Instead, on-chain data suggests that these holders are remaining patient. The report also found that the average price these long-term holders paid for their Bitcoin continues to rise, even though Bitcoin’s market price has declined. This suggests that the recent downturn is mainly driven by weaker prices rather than long-term investors selling their holdings. According to CryptoZeno, this type of correction helps eliminate short-term speculation while keeping long-term holders invested, creating a healthier market environment with a more limited Bitcoin supply. NUPL Shows Market-Wide Profit Reset In a separate analysis, CryptoZeno examined Bitcoin’s Adjusted NUPL, which tracks unrealized profits and losses across the network. He found that the indicator has moved closer to neutral following the recent price correction, meaning investors’ unrealized profits have declined significantly. Historically, this type of movement has signaled a market reset rather than the beginning of a prolonged bear market. Long-Term Holders Remain Resilient However, investor behavior differs between long-term and short-term Bitcoin holders. Long-term holders are still sitting on substantial unrealized profits, even though those gains have declined from previous highs. This suggests they remain confident and are not showing signs of panic selling. Short-term holders, on the other hand, are close to breaking even after recently experiencing paper losses. Their lower profit margins make them more likely to sell in response to market sentiment until prices begin to recover. Overall, CryptoZeno said that both the MVRV and NUPL indicators suggest the market is experiencing a healthy profit reset rather than a full capitulation. If long-term holders continue to hold their coins and new buyers step in to absorb the limited supply, the current correction could represent a mid-cycle reset rather than the end of the bull market. #CryptoNewss
#Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has expressed strong confidence in the network’s RealFi initiative, arguing that it could significantly expand Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem.
His remarks come shortly after the launch of RealFi’s Phase 1 testnet, which has already attracted strong early participation and fueled community growth.
In a statement today, Hoskinson highlighted RealFi’s ability to increase Cardano’s total value locked (TVL), one of the most important metrics for measuring capital deposited across DeFi protocols.
According to him, users who participate in RealFi must deposit assets into the protocol’s smart contracts. Those funds remain locked while generating yield, which the protocol later distributes back to participants.
As more users deposit assets and interact with the platform, Cardano’s TVL naturally grows. In addition, every deposit, withdrawal, and yield distribution generates new on-chain transactions, increasing overall network activity.
“The cool thing about RealFi is that it is gonna be a big TVL and TX generator for Cardano,” Hoskinson said. #Crypto
"XRP Faces Make-or-Break Point as Ichimoku Cloud Caps Recovery at Key Resistance"
#XRP now has one major resistance level to overcome before it can begin to change the bearish trend, as the Ichimoku Cloud presents strong overhead resistance. Currently, XRP trades at $1.1093, where a series of lower highs on the weekly chart continues to show that sellers remain in control. At the current price, XRP is already down more than 70% from the $3.6 all-time high. While a weekly close above $1.1444 would break the lower highs pattern for the first time in 12 months, the Ichimoku Cloud continues to stand in the way of a stronger recovery. XRP Ichimoku Cloud Showing Bearish Trend Notably, the weekly Ichimoku Cloud indicates that the market remains bearish, with XRP trading below every major part of the indicator. Specifically, the Tenkan-sen stands at $1.2050, the Kijun-sen at $1.5182, Senkou Span A at $1.3616, and Senkou Span B at $2.3293. Since XRP remains below all four levels, the overall trend still favors sellers. The cloud stretches from $1.3616 to $2.3293, creating almost $1 of resistance above the current price. As the cloud is wide, buyers will likely face massive selling pressure as they try to move higher. The Chikou Span also confirms this position. At $1.1093, it sits below both the cloud and the price from the same period 12 months ago, adding another sign that the broader trend remains weak. The first Ichimoku level buyers need to reclaim is the Tenkan-sen at $1.2050. However, XRP must first break above $1.1444, which means buyers still have an important hurdle to clear before reaching that target. XRP Seeing Lower Highs Meanwhile, XRP has remained in a downtrend since reaching its cycle high of $3.66 in July 2025. During this time, every rally has ended below the previous one, and this has allowed sellers to keep control of the market. After peaking at $3.66, XRP failed to move beyond the $3.30 to $3.40 area before falling again. Later rallies stopped around $2.50, then $2.00, and eventually near $1.60 as 2026 began. Each lower high strengthened the bearish structure. The downtrend now meets horizontal resistance at $1.1444, creating a strong technical barrier. This level combines the descending trendline with an established resistance zone, which makes it one of the most important price points on the chart. If XRP closes above $1.1444 on the weekly timeframe, it would break this year-long pattern of lower highs for the first time. This could shift attention toward the next resistance at the Tenkan-sen near $1.2050. Key XRP Price Levels to Watch The $1.1444 level remains the key resistance because it sits only 3.2% above the current price of $1.1093. However, breaking it will not be easy because buyers must also push through the descending trendline that has limited every rally over the past 12 months. If XRP manages a clear weekly close above $1.1444, the next targets would be $1.2050 and then Senkou Span A at $1.3616. Reaching those levels would help the case for a broader recovery. On the downside, the psychological support at $1 remains just as important. The current weekly candle has already touched a low of $1.0531, leaving that support less than 1% below the week’s lowest price. If XRP closes below $1 on the weekly chart, it would lose its last visible support level and could face stronger selling pressure. Further above, $2.4 remains an important long-term resistance level. This area acted as support during the 2025 consolidation period, but it now sits about 116% above XRP’s current price. #CryptoNewsCommunity
#ADA community has reacted strongly after Intersect confirmed that responsibility for delivering Cardano ’s presence at TOKEN2049 Singapore will shift from EMURGO to the Cardano Foundation.
In a recent announcement, Intersect revealed that EMURGO has been focusing its resources on managing the aftermath of the SecondFi incident. Consequently, the company informed Intersect that it could no longer allocate the personnel required to organize and execute Cardano’s participation at TOKEN2049.
Following discussions among EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, and Intersect, the three parties agreed to transfer delivery responsibility for the event to the Cardano Foundation.
Meanwhile, Intersect’s announcement immediately drew criticism from several community members, who argued that the approved proposal specifically authorized EMURGO, not the Cardano Foundation, to execute the project.
Popular DRep Chris O described the decision as a breach of Cardano’s governance framework. According to him, DReps approved a proposal that explicitly assigned execution to EMURGO. Therefore, if EMURGO could no longer fulfill its obligations, the treasury funds should have been returned rather than reassigned to another entity.
"Cardano Whales Take ADA Holding to 3.5 Year High Amid Strong Dip Buying"
Large #Cardano whales have continued to accumulate ADA, pushing their combined holdings to the highest level since February 2023. The largest Cardano holders are steadily increasing their holdings, even as ADA looks weak. In contrast, retail participants continue to trim their positions, as they start to grow impatient with the persistent price trend. The divergence between large and small holders has become one of the healthiest trends emerging on the Cardano network. ADA Whales Increase Holdings While Retail Pulls Back On-chain data from Santiment shows wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million ADA now control more than 25.6 billion ADA. The market intelligence platform highlighted that this marks their largest collective balance since February 2023. The milestone comes after roughly four months of consistent accumulation, as some of the network’s biggest participants take advantage of the weak market sentiment. An accompanying chart highlights a steady rise in the balance held by wallets containing between 100,000 and 100 million ADA. Over the past four months, these addresses have increased their holdings by approximately 1.8%, lifting the total supply under their control to the current level. At the same time, wallets holding fewer than 100 ADA have moved in the opposite direction. Their collective balance has fallen by around 0.7% during the same period, indicating they have gradually reduced their exposure. According to Santiment, this contrast reflects different reactions to the same market condition. Specifically, larger holders are accumulating during periods of uncertainty, while retail traders are growing impatient after prolonged price weakness. The firm noted that although this pattern does not guarantee a price reversal, it suggests confidence among whales, especially at a time when the crypto market is weak. Large holders are gradually deploying capital to buy the dip, moving the asset’s supply to wallets known to hold long-term. Cardano Still Building Despite Weak Price Action Cardano has struggled throughout 2026, dropping 52% YTD. The correction has taken ADA to levels last seen in 2020. Also, it has tested investor confidence, with small wallets slowly giving in to market pressure Despite the bearish trend, Santiment emphasized that the Cardano ecosystem has continued building. The network is still consistently implementing progressive initiatives, according to its development roadmap. Some of them include the Leios testnet launch in June, ongoing improvements to Hydra scaling, and continued progress on Mithril. Cardano has also integrated the Pyth oracles, further boosting institutional traction. These upgrades aim to strengthen the network’s infrastructure in the long term, positioning Cardano for mainstream adoption when attention starts to return to crypto. Santiment highlighted that while it does not look like it now, the combination of whale accumulation and network building is bullish for Cardano. It called this setup one of the healthiest that ADA has shown all year. #CryptoNewsFlash
"Legal Expert Highlights How XRP Holders Influenced Outcome of Ripple Lawsuit"
Pro-XRP attorney John Deaton has congratulated XRP holders for playing a meaningful role in the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple. Attorney Deaton made the remarks as the XRP community celebrated the third anniversary of Judge Analisa Torres’ landmark July 13, 2023 ruling, which held that XRP, in itself, is not a security. Court Recognizes XRP Holders’ Arguments According to Deaton, one of the strongest indications that XRP holders influenced the outcome is Judge Torres’ decision to cite the amicus brief he filed on behalf of thousands of XRP investors. However, Deaton acknowledged that this fact alone does not conclusively prove the community changed the outcome, as the judge also referenced several other amicus briefs submitted during the litigation. Nonetheless, he placed greater emphasis on the court’s reliance on nearly 4,000 affidavits submitted by XRP holders. Although the parties filed thousands of exhibits throughout the multi-year case, Judge Torres cited only a limited number of them in her summary judgment ruling. Among those selected were the XRP holder affidavits. Notably, the affidavits provided direct evidence supporting Ripple’s argument that many XRP purchasers did not rely on the company’s managerial efforts to generate profits, an important factor under the Howey test. LBRY Arguments Also Shaped the Court’s Analysis Furthermore, Deaton pointed to Footnote 16 of Judge Torres’ opinion, where she cited an exchange from oral arguments in a separate LBRY case. According to Deaton, the referenced discussion involved his arguments before the federal judge regarding secondary market sales of digital assets. He believes the citation shows that Judge Torres considered broader legal principles beyond the Ripple case when evaluating whether secondary market transactions should qualify as securities transactions. Push for a Formal Declaration Labeling XRP as Non-Security Deaton also highlighted one of the central requests in his amicus brief. Specifically, he urged the court to explicitly declare that XRP itself is not a security. He argued that XRP is simply digital code and that a digital asset’s legal status should not permanently depend on how it is marketed or sold in a particular transaction. To reinforce this argument, Deaton compared XRP to assets such as gold, beavers, condominiums, chinchillas, and orange groves. Although these assets have been sold through investment contracts in certain circumstances, the assets themselves have never been classified as securities. Therefore, Deaton maintained that even if Ripple offered XRP as part of an investment contract under specific circumstances, that fact alone would not transform the token itself into a security. XRP Community Continues to Celebrate Historic Legal Clarity Meanwhile, the broader XRP community has continued to celebrate Judge Torres’ landmark decision, which delivered long-awaited legal clarity for XRP three years ago. The ruling established that XRP itself is not a security while distinguishing between different types of Ripple’s transactions. Judge Torres concluded that Ripple’s programmatic sales on cryptocurrency exchanges and certain other XRP distributions did not constitute investment contracts. However, she ruled that Ripple’s institutional XRP sales violated federal securities laws because they qualified as unregistered securities offerings. Since the decision, Ripple executives have repeatedly praised the XRP community, particularly the thousands of token holders represented by Deaton, for helping shape one of the most consequential legal battles in the digital asset industry. #CryptonewswithJack
"XRP Now Close to the Entry Zone for a Potential Bullish Gartley Harmonic Pattern"
#XRP is getting close to the entry zone of a potential bullish Gartley harmonic pattern, which could mark the end of the ongoing correction. Currently, XRP changes hands at $1.0685, and the entry zone also aligns with a long-established demand area between $1.02 and $1.0448. This makes the zone one of the most important levels on the chart. Notably, when a harmonic pattern and a proven support zone come together, it shows strength. If XRP completes the Gartley pattern and buyers successfully defend the $1.02 to $1.0448 range, the token could begin recovering after spending months in a correction. XRP Price Swings Create the Gartley Pattern The current pattern developed after XRP went through a change in direction over the past few weeks. Specifically, the token climbed to a local high near $1.30 in mid-June before sellers gradually took over. The ensuing selling pressure pushed XRP down to a swing low near $1.0072 around June 26, creating the X point and presenting the foundation for the harmonic pattern. From this low, buyers stepped back into the market and drove XRP higher. The rally lifted the price to around $1.19 by July 5, forming the A point and delivering a gain of roughly 22% in less than two weeks. XRP Gartley Pattern Entry Point Sellers then regained control, pulling the price back to about $1.0684 by July 7. This decline formed the B point, completing the second leg of the pattern. Support from Fibonacci Levels A bullish Gartley pattern consists of five turning points labeled X, A, B, C, and D. Each leg follows specific Fibonacci measurements based on the original XA move. In a bullish situation, the D point usually forms near the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the XA leg. This area is known as the Potential Reversal Zone, where buyers typically return and push the price higher. XRP’s current price action continues to follow the pattern. Notably, the AB pullback retraced 65.2% of the XA move, placing it close to the preferred 61.8% retracement for the B point. From there, XRP rebounded to around $1.1186 on July 12, creating the C point. This recovery retraced 43.7% of the AB decline, staying within the accepted 38.2% to 88.6% range for a valid BC leg. After reaching the C point, XRP faced another pullback and entered the final CD leg. The current move continues toward the projected D point at $1.0048, which matches the 78.6% retracement of the full XA advance. XRP Demand Zone Importantly, the projected D point falls inside a well-established demand zone between $1.02 and $1.0448. In the past, buyers stepped into this area, absorbed selling pressure, and pushed the price higher. This historical context gives the zone added importance as a support level. The analysis places $1.0448 as the level where the pattern begins to activate, while $1.02 marks the full D-point completion and the deepest retracement that still keeps the pattern valid. Key XRP Price Levels If XRP reaches the D point and buyers defend the area, the first level to watch sits at the C-point high near $1.115. A strong move above that price would suggest the correction has likely ended and that bullish momentum is returning. The next important resistance stands at the A-point high of around $1.19. If XRP breaks above that level, the measured move based on the original XA leg points to a possible recovery into the mid-$1.20 range. On the downside, bulls must defend the $1.00 level. The bullish Gartley remains valid only if XRP avoids a decisive close below that price. A sustained move under $1.00 would invalidate the pattern, end the bullish setup, and increase the chances of a deeper decline. #CryptoNewsCommunity
#Shiba Inu whales are buying every dip, even as the token keeps falling, with a fresh 174 billion SHIB withdrawn from exchanges in the past 24 hours.
The Shiba Inu (SHIB) price trend remains uncertain. Bears are keen to push the token to new lows, while bulls keep fighting to defend key support levels.
Over the past day, Shiba Inu whales have made another notable accumulation move, reinforcing their belief that the current price level is a favorable entry point for the next bullish phase.
Data from CryptoQuant confirmed this move. Its total exchange netflow reading shows that the difference between inflows and outflows in the past 24 hours is a negative 174.8 billion.
This means that holders withdrew 174,820,700,000 SHIB yesterday, worth $792,002 at the current market price of $0.00000417. Notably, such an exodus from exchanges usually ends up in self-custody or third-party wallets, where the tokens cannot be easily sold. This suggests accumulation, as holders are moving Shiba Inu to where it cannot be easily sold. #CryptoNewss
#Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz has challenged claims that the SEC limited its lawsuit against Ripple to the company’s method of selling XRP rather than the token itself.
Schwartz made the remarks while responding to former SEC Commissioner Marc Fagel, who argued that the SEC consistently maintained that XRP is merely computer code and not inherently a security.
According to Fagel, the regulator argued that Ripple sold XRP as an investment contract but never claimed that XRP, standing alone, was a security.
However, Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz strongly disagreed, arguing that Fagel’s claim is “a bizarre attempt to rewrite history” by changing the SEC’s original litigation strategy.
According to Schwartz, it is inaccurate to suggest that the SEC viewed XRP as a computer code that became a security only due to Ripple’s sales practices. #Crypto
"David Schwartz Says Lawyers Told Ripple It Was Unsalvageable After SEC Lawsuit"
#Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says the company seriously considered shutting down after the U.S. SEC sued Ripple in 2020. He described the decision as one of the toughest of his career. Speaking at the University of Kansas School of Business, Garlinghouse said Ripple’s leadership debated whether to dissolve the company instead of fighting what became a four-year legal battle. Ripple Considered Shutting Down Garlinghouse said he and Ripple co-founder and Chairman Chris Larsen questioned whether Ripple should continue after the SEC accused the company of conducting unregistered securities sales through XRP. “We almost decided to shut down the company when the SEC sued us,” Garlinghouse said. One option was to dissolve Ripple and distribute its XRP holdings to shareholders on a pro-rata basis. Garlinghouse acknowledged that hundreds of employees would have lost their jobs. However, he said shutting down seemed easier than taking on the SEC. In the end, Ripple chose to fight. Garlinghouse said he is “glad” the company made that decision, even though the outcome was uncertain at the time. SEC Gave No Warning Garlinghouse said Ripple repeatedly sought regulatory clarity before the lawsuit. However, he said the SEC never indicated that it viewed XRP as a security. According to Garlinghouse, he met with SEC officials four times between 2017 and 2019 without legal counsel. He said the meetings focused on Ripple’s technology and XRP’s use cases. At no point, he added, did the agency warn him that XRP could be treated as a security. Garlinghouse also revealed that the SEC offered him a personal settlement. Under the proposal, the agency would drop its case against him if he paid a fine, while continuing its lawsuit against Ripple. He called the offer “distasteful” and suggested it was meant to pressure him into settling. He added that the lawsuit ultimately cost Ripple about $150 million in legal fees. Garlinghouse Defends XRP’s Role Garlinghouse also defended XRP’s role in Ripple’s payments business. He contrasted it with Bitcoin, saying Bitcoin is better suited for some use cases but remains relatively slow and expensive for payments. He argued that XRP offers faster settlement, lower transaction costs, and better scalability for cross-border transfers. Garlinghouse also stressed that XRP is an open-source blockchain asset. While Ripple uses it in its payment products, he said it does not represent ownership in the company like traditional shares. David Schwartz Reactions Garlinghouse’s comments sparked discussion within the XRP community. Responding to doubts about whether Ripple was really close to shutting down, Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz said the company received legal advice that it was “done” and “unsavable.” He said some lawyers recommended that executives strike a deal to protect themselves. Schwartz added that he believes the SEC named Garlinghouse and Larsen personally because it was the expected approach in enforcement actions. XRP-focused YouTuber Moon Lambo questioned why Ripple’s legal advisers believed the company had no chance of surviving. He described the recommendation to give up without a fight as an extreme position and said he was relieved Ripple chose to contest the case instead. #CryptoNewsCommunity

"XRP Takes About 1,400 Days to Reach a New Cycle Peak"
Market data indicates that #XRP takes about 1,400 days to reach a new cycle peak. XRP has been in a correction phase for the past 12 months since reaching its cycle high of $3.6 in July 2025. While market participants await a recovery, historical cycle data suggests the correction may not be finished. Notably, XRP’s three completed market cycles show that the asset has taken an average of 1,414 days to move from one cycle peak to the next after declining from the previous high. With only 360 days having passed since the July 2025 peak, the data points to a possible cycle bottom forming around Q4 2026, while a new cycle high could arrive between May and August 2029 if the historical pattern continues. Past XRP Cycles Show a Similar Structure XRP’s first major cycle peaked on Dec. 5, 2013, when the price reached $0.0614 after rising 2,017% from the $0.0029 low recorded in August 2013. However, the rally was followed by a sharp decline, and XRP fell to about $0.0028 in July 2014, a drop of roughly 95.4%. XRP later recovered and reached a new cycle high of $3.31 on Jan. 4, 2017. Essentially, this first peak-to-peak cycle lasted 1,125 days. The second cycle followed a similar path but lasted longer. After peaking at $3.31 in January 2017, XRP declined for about 27 months before finding a bottom near $0.11 in March 2020 during the COVID-related market crash. This move represented a decline of about 96.7%. XRP later recovered and reached $1.96 on April 14, 2021, completing a 1,561-day cycle. Meanwhile, following the April 2021 peak of $1.96, XRP dropped to around $0.29 in June 2022, a decline of about 85.2% over roughly 14 months. The recovery that followed pushed XRP to $3.60 on July 18, 2025, exactly 1,556 days after the April 2021 peak. Averaging all three completed cycles produces a mean cycle length of 1,414 days, which points to a potential new peak in June 2029 from the July 2025 high. This indicates that XRP could find its next cycle top between May and August 2029. The Bottom May Not Have Formed Yet In addition, historical data provides clues about where XRP could find its next long-term bottom. Previous cycles took an average of 15 months to complete the bottoming process after each peak. If this pattern repeats, XRP could continue correcting through Q4 2026 before establishing a more durable floor. Also, the size of past corrections supports the possibility. Specifically, XRP experienced drawdowns of 95.4%, 96.7%, and 85.2% in its three completed cycles, averaging roughly 92%. Applying similar declines to the $3.60 peak produces several downside targets. A decline matching the deepest historical corrections would place XRP near $0.29, which is also the June 2022 cycle low. A milder correction similar to the third cycle would point to around $0.53. In addition, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the move from $0.29 to $3.60 sits at $1.00. Based on those levels, the most likely range for a long-term bottom appears to be between $0.29 and $1.00, with the $0.53 to $0.67 zone representing a middle-ground scenario. Key Resistance Levels Once XRP completes its correction, several resistance levels could determine the next recovery phase. The first major level is $1.55, which aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the full move from $0.29 to $3.60. A sustained push above that level would confirm that XRP has entered a broader recovery. Above that, the $1.95 to $1.96 area carries additional importance because it matches both the April 14, 2021 cycle peak and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. Many previous buyers may look to exit positions around that zone. The next major resistance stands at $3.31, the cycle high recorded in January 2017. After that, XRP would need to reclaim its $3.60 all-time high before confirming a new cycle breakout.
According to Hoskinson, #Cardano is on track to regain a spot among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and could climb even higher.
Looking further ahead, he projected that the network will become a “rocket ship” heading into 2027, reflecting his optimism about Cardano’s growth trajectory. #Crypto
"Shiba Inu X Account Abandons SHIB for Two Meme Coin Rivals"
#Shiba Inu investors are questioning the project’s direction after the Shibtoken X account shifted its attention from SHIB to promoting other meme coins. The broader cryptocurrency market has weighed heavily on Shiba Inu in recent weeks, pushing the token toward the bottom of the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Amid this prolonged downturn, many investors expected major ecosystem accounts to intensify SHIB-focused updates and strengthen community confidence. Instead, the Shibtoken account is once again promoting rival projects. Shibtoken Account Promotes Competing Meme Coins Recently, the Shibtoken X account interacted with a post from a relatively unknown meme coin. It congratulated the project on its progress while praising its commitment to preserving meme culture through consistent development and community engagement. Shortly afterward, the account commented on another little-known frog-themed meme coin, claiming it was superior to Pepe, one of the largest frog-themed cryptocurrencies. Since the original post prominently displayed the token’s contract address, many community members interpreted the interaction as an indirect endorsement that exposed Shibtoken’s 3.8 million followers to a competing asset. Shiba Inu X Account Community Questions the Purpose Behind the Promotions The promotions quickly triggered backlash across the Shiba Inu community. Many holders openly questioned the account’s handler, asking why an account closely associated with Shiba Inu would promote rival meme coins while SHIB continues to struggle in the market. Several community members argued that such promotions divert attention from SHIB at a time when the token needs stronger visibility and ecosystem support. Although the Shiba Inu ecosystem has repeatedly stated that the Shibtoken X account is not the project’s official account, many investors still associate it closely with Shiba Inu. When the account launched in February 2021, it focused almost exclusively on SHIB-related updates. That strategy helped it grow its audience to more than 3.8 million followers and established it as one of the largest accounts covering the Shiba Inu ecosystem. However, as SHIB’s market performance has weakened, the account has gradually expanded its attention to other cryptocurrencies. It has promoted non-SHIB tokens on several previous occasions, drawing criticism from community members who believe the account should remain dedicated to the Shiba Inu ecosystem. SHIB Remains Under Heavy Bearish Pressure The latest controversy comes as Shiba Inu continues to face significant selling pressure. SHIB currently ranks as the 30th-largest cryptocurrency, with a $2.59 billion market cap. The token trades at $0.000004398, while its 24-hour trading volume has fallen 3.83% to $48.63 million. Market performance has also remained weak over longer timeframes. SHIB has declined 7.45% over the past month and 1.4% during the past week. Overall, the token remains 95.03% below its all-time high of $0.00008845. Investors Call for Greater Focus on SHIB Given SHIB’s prolonged downturn, many investors believe influential ecosystem accounts should concentrate on promoting Shiba Inu rather than other meme coins. Critics argue that the Shibtoken account is directing the attention of its millions of followers toward rival projects at a time when SHIB needs stronger community support. Meanwhile, some of Shiba Inu’s most prominent figures, including lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama and marketing strategist Lucie, have remained inactive on X for several months. Their absence has left much of the ecosystem’s public engagement in the hands of the broader community, further fueling investor concerns about the project’s visibility and communication strategy. #Crypto
"Solana Tokenized RWA Market Soars 4x, Hits Record $3.62B in H1 2026"
The real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem of #Solana has quadrupled in value during the first half of 2026. It grew from $873 million in January to a record $3.62 billion in July. The surge was driven by rapid growth in tokenized stocks, rising institutional adoption, and record trading activity. According to the latest ecosystem data, Solana is now the third-largest blockchain for tokenized RWAs, with a 10.39% market share. The network hosts 2,119 tokenized assets across 295,853 holders. Its RWA ecosystem has also grown 20.91% over the past 30 days. Meanwhile, Solana’s stablecoin supply has surpassed $16 billion, making it the second-largest among all blockchains. The large stablecoin base has provided deep dollar liquidity for tokenized asset trading. Solana RWA Data Tokenized Asset Trading Reaches New Highs Notably, Solana recorded its strongest quarter for tokenized assets in Q2 2026. Spot trading volume climbed to $5.77 billion, up 7.4 times from the $775 million recorded during the second half of 2025. June alone generated more than $2 billion in tokenized asset trading. That marked the highest monthly volume ever recorded on any blockchain. The network also led global tokenized equity trading during the week of June 15–21. It processed $1.298 billion of the $1.324 billion traded worldwide, accounting for roughly 97% of the market. SpaceX Listing Boosts Tokenized Stock Activity Solana’s tokenized stock ecosystem received a major boost after SpaceX’s June 12 Nasdaq listing. Tokenized SpaceX shares launched on the blockchain the same day. SpaceX-related tokens generated $1.19 billion in June trading volume, accounting for 31% of the month’s total. Backpack Securities’ SPCX contributed $1.08 billion, while xStocks’ SPCXx added $852 million. On June 24, Solana’s tokenized stock market reached a record $644 million in daily trading volume. The milestone highlights the network’s shift from a memecoin-focused blockchain toward a hub for tokenized financial assets. Institutional Offerings Continue to Expand The ecosystem has continued to attract institutional issuers and infrastructure providers. Backed Finance’s xStocks platform now offers 134 tokenized stocks. It has surpassed $3 billion in cumulative on-chain trading volume and attracted more than 57,000 unique holders. Solflare, which reports 4 million monthly active users, has integrated all xStocks assets and added a Google Pay on-ramp. Ondo Global Markets has also launched more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs. At launch, those assets represented roughly 65% of all Solana RWAs. Meanwhile, Jupiter Lend has added tokenized SPYx, QQQx, NVDAx, and TSLAx as collateral. Users can now borrow against tokenized equities within DeFi. Institutions Deepen Solana Adoption Institutional participation has accelerated across the network. BlackRock’s BUIDL fund has deployed $615 million on-chain through Securitize. It is now the largest individual RWA position on Solana. Citigroup completed a tokenized Bill of Exchange settlement pilot with PwC in February. Institutional market maker B2C2 has also chosen Solana as its primary stablecoin settlement network. Financial firms, including SoFi and R3, have expanded their enterprise banking and tokenization initiatives on Solana. The moves reinforce the blockchain’s growing role in institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure. #CryptoNewsFlash
The number of #XRP wallets with balances ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 tokens has hit a new all-time high above 1.2 million. This uptick in wallet addresses, which confirms growing adoption, comes despite the ongoing market downtrend that has triggered massive losses for XRP. Specifically, XRP has collapsed nearly 40% this year to a low of $1.10, with a close to 70% decline from the peak of $3.66. While prices have struggled, on-chain data indicates that the market continues to see an influx of users, as adoption grows. Notably, the number of XRP wallets holding 1,000 to 100,000 tokens has now grown to a new all-time high of exactly 1,120,198. #CryptonewswithJack
"Dogecoin Revisits Historical Buy Zone as Familiar Setup Targets Massive Gains"
#Dogecoin is revisiting a historical accumulation zone, with the current setup mirroring earlier cycle bottoms that have previously preceded major rallies. Dogecoin (DOGE) is once again trading in a price region that historically aligns with key accumulation areas. Data from the monthly chart shows that the current setup closely resembles previous market cycles where prolonged consolidation eventually gave way to massive upside moves. Familiar Dogecoin Setup The 1-month chart shows that DOGE has repeatedly found support after extended corrections before starting strong rallies. In each previous cycle, the asset’s price offers the first entry point, then stabilizes at a long-term support trendline. Dogecoin then provides the last entry point before it starts a massive expansion phase. For context, DOGE gave the first entry when it bottomed at $0.000086 in May 2015. After that, the coin formed a support around $0.000198 in April 2016 and consolidated above it until February 2017. What followed was a 1,823% rise to $0.0040 in May 2017. Dogecoin 1M Chart Analysis The same thing happened in the next cycle. Dogecoin gave its first sniper entry at the low of $0.00065 in September 2017. Subsequently, it found support around $0.0018 in February 2019 and consolidated around it until March 2020. Between April 2020 and May 2021, DOGE rallied an impressive 41,011%, reaching its current all-time high of $0.74. Current DOGE Price Level Aligns with Previous Cycle Bottoms The current market structure appears to be following a similar path. Dogecoin gave its first perfect entry at $0.056 in October 2023. The meme coin also formed a long-term support at $0.0805 in August 2024 and, in June, retested it. While the pullback has taken it slightly below the horizontal support region, the structure remains intact. This is because it still trends above a broader ascending support line that has guided its price since October 2023. Meanwhile, the current price level presents the last entry point to buy DOGE at a discount, according to history. What has followed this period is a strong price reversal and the start of an impulsive move to unprecedented price levels. Dogecoin Target and Key Uptrend Requirement If history repeats, Dogecoin could be nearing its bottom here. Since each rally from here has seen it surpass the previous high, the first target could be around $0.80, representing a 981% increase from the current price of $0.074. In an ultra-bullish scenario, DOGE could finally break the $1 barrier and even target $2. This culminates in a 1,251% to 2,602% growth from here. Nonetheless, while the historical comparison is encouraging for bulls, confirmation is still necessary. Dogecoin needs to maintain support around the current accumulation area and show signs of recovery to confirm this pattern. If buyers defend this region around $0.066 successfully, the setup could produce massive gains like the previous cycles. However, a decisive move below the support zone would invalidate the pattern and force the token downwards. #CryptoNewsCommunity

"XRP Now at A Decisive Inflection Point: Will Prices Moon or Drop to $0.7?"
#XRP has entered one of the most important stages on its weekly chart, placing it at an inflection point that could determine its next major move. XRP is currently trading at around $1.1063 after reaching a weekly high of $1.1638 before pulling back. Currently, the crypto asset is down 4.32% in the week, on track to end the session in negative territory. Amid the downward price action, several indicators have converged to create a setup that could lead to a major move. As a result, the question is no longer whether XRP will make a major move from here, but whether it will rally higher or fall toward the $0.70 area. Fibonacci Levels Show Where XRP Could Move Next Notably, a Fibonacci retracement grid drawn from XRP’s cycle low of $0.3814 to its cycle high of $3.6662 covers the entire rally that took place between late 2024 and early 2025. Since reaching the peak, XRP has moved lower, passing through several key Fibonacci levels. At the current price of $1.1063, XRP trades just above the 18.75% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.9980. The next major support lies at the 12.50% retracement level of $0.7925, which stands as the final important support before the price could return to the base of the previous bull run. Several resistance levels also contributed to this decline. Specifically, the 33% Fibonacci level at $1.4626 acted as an important support before XRP lost it. Once the price fell below that level, it never regained it. XRP 1W Chart Higher up, the 50% retracement level at $2.0256 stopped the recovery attempt in January 2026. The 61.80% golden pocket at $2.4136 and the 66% retracement level at $2.5437 also rejected price during the extended topping phase near the July 2025 highs. Symmetrical Triangle Puts XRP at a Decision Point Meanwhile, data from the weekly chart shows a symmetrical triangle that now defines XRP’s overall structure. Notably, XRP currently witnesses a downward-sloping trendline that starts from the $3.6662 peak and connects several lower highs. At the same time, the chart features an upward-sloping trendline that has acted as support. While the upper trendline formed in July 2025, the lower line started forming in 2024. These two trendlines have squeezed XRP into the triangle’s apex, where price now sits. Since symmetrical triangles do not favor either buyers or sellers, the market now waits for the next breakout to reveal the direction. A breakout above the upper trendline could push XRP toward $1.4626, followed by $2.0256, and later the $2.40 to $3.00 range. However, if the price breaks below the lower trendline, XRP would lose its nearby technical support and could fall toward the $0.7925 Fibonacci level, which aligns with a possible move to around $0.70. Volume Suggests Selling Pressure Is Fading Importantly, XRP’s trading volume reveals how market sentiment has changed amid the ongoing price action. When XRP recovered from its early 2025 low, strong buying activity drove a sharp V-shaped rebound, showing that buyers had returned with confidence. However, after the July 2025 peak, the market moved lower on heavy selling volume. This confirmed that sellers remained firmly in control instead of allowing prices to drift lower on weak trading activity. As the downtrend continued, trading volume gradually became lighter even though XRP kept falling. This pattern suggests that selling pressure has started to weaken. However, weaker selling alone does not confirm a reversal. Buyers still need to return with enough strength to establish a lasting recovery. Current weekly volume now resembles the quiet trading conditions seen in June 2025, a period that came just before a major price move. #CryptoNews🚀🔥V
