Despite much bullish speculation, the legal battle between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs remains, at press time, much like the Korean War: a frozen conflict. Indeed, both the weeks ahead of the Trump inauguration and more recently, many traders, experts, and analysts have been predicting that the watchdog would be quick to drop the most discussed lawsuit in the cryptocurrency industry. The latest credible rumours, shared by the prominent Fox Business journalist El
MetaMask integrates 10 blockchains in crypto off-ramp expansion

Solana crashes to a 3-month low wiping out billions
Solana (SOL) served as something of a herald for the latest cryptocurrency bull market as it enjoyed a particularly sharp rally in late 2023 and early 2024, taking it from about $20 to above $200 – 900% increase in just six months. The blockchain itself enjoyed much activity and inflows thanks to numerous meme coins – another major staple of the cycle – finding their home on SOL. Still, more recent trading hasn’t been kind to Solana, and it suffered a 41.17% fall from January 19 highs at $286.81
$65M reportedly stolen from Coinbase users in past two months
Pseudonymous on-chain cryptocurrency analyst ZachXBT is one of the most respected voices in the crypto space — but surprisingly enough, he doesn’t offer investment advice. Instead, the ‘crypto sleuth’ has taken to unveiling and publicizing the many scams running rampant in the world of digital assets. The blockchain detective has also exposed several high-profile hacks — most recently, a $112 million XRP breach on January 31 and a $35 million Atomic Wallet hack in June of 2023. Unfortunately, it
Trump meme coin sees $38 billion in trading since launch
Shortly before the President-Elect again became the President on January 20, the Trump family on a controversial meme coin offensive with the OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) and Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) cryptocurrencies drew the bulk of the attention. As could be expected, the Donald Trump-themed digital asset – either a cynical cash grab or a blockchain equivalent of a commemorative coin or stamp – proved to have the most staying power and attracted the most investor interest. In fact, by press t
$11.5 trillion BlackRock launches Bitcoin ETF on CBOE Canada

Smart crypto trader turns $2k into $3 million in just 10 hours

The Bitcoin ‘train still has room to run’ after the $107,000 record high
With Bitcoin (BTC) surging to a new record high of above $107,000, momentum indicators suggest that the asset’s current run is far from over. Specifically, the maiden cryptocurrency’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has yet to reach the 90 mark—a level achieved during the past two bull cycles, according to an analysis by financial data platform Barchart in an X post on December 17. Indeed, Bitcoin’s cycle tops in 2017 and 2021 coincided with the monthly RSI surpassing 90 and currently reads 77.19,
In 2024, XRP finally broke out of the prolonged price consolidation, emerging as one of the biggest winners of the ongoing cryptocurrency market rally. To put this price breakout into perspective, XRP rallied by over 300% in the past month, elevating the cryptocurrency to third place based on market capitalization, surpassing Solana (SOL) and Tether’s USDT. Overall, XRP’s price remained relatively stable throughout most of 2024, fluctuating between $0.50 and $0.60. However, in early November, th
Bitcoin’s path to $100,000 hits a roadblock: Here’s what’s holding it back

This minor decline follows a post-election surge that propelled BTC to a record high of $99,609 on November 22.

Solana price prediction as SOL market cap hits all-time high
Despite being somewhat overshadowed by Bitcoin (BTC) and meme coins on its own blockchain during the 2024 cryptocurrency bull market, Solana (SOL) has been one of the strongest performers among the major digital assets. Specifically, the native token has risen 291.61% in the last 12 months and 140.71% year-to-date (YTD). Though SOL, with its press time price of $243.92, is still shy of its 2021 all-time high (ATH) at about $260, Solana reached a record-breaking market capitalization above $117 b

As the spookiest night of the year approaches, all eyes are on XRP (currently trading at $0.52) to see whether it will conjure a Halloween rally.
