The XRP price has jumped 2.5% in the last 24 hours to trade at $2.88 as of 3.50 a.m. EST on a 24% surge in trading volume to $5.53 billion. This comes as Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas says the approval of spot crypto ETFs, including an XRP ETF, is now virtually guaranteed. He explained that new “generic listing standards” have made traditional 19b-4 filings unnecessary, leaving only final clearance from the SEC’s Corporation Finance division. Honestly the odds are really 100% now. Generic listing standards make the 19b-4s and their “clock” meaningless. That just leaves the S-1s waiting for formal green light from Corp Finance. And they just submitted amendment #4 for Solana. The baby could come any day. Be ready. https://t.co/5JtfTm82Wi — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) September 29, 2025 Issuers, including Solana-linked funds, are already updating their S-1 filings, signaling the process is close to completion.

The cryptocurrency market seems to be making a slight recovery after its recent plummet. Bitcoin (BTC) has reclaimed the $111,000 price level, and the global crypto market cap has risen 2.3% in the last 24 hours to $3.95 trillion. Shiba Inu (SHIB) has made a slight recovery of 1.7% in the last 24 hours, but continues to glow red in the other time frames. According to CoinGecko data, Shiba Inu has faced a price dip of 4.3% in the weekly charts, 13.3% in the 14-day charts, 3.7% in the monthly charts, and 40.7% since September 2024. Let’s discuss if SHIB can make a comeback in October. Source: CoinGecko Will Shiba Inu Recover From Its Price Dip in October? Source: Watcher Guru The cryptocurrency market faced a substantial correction earlier this month. The dip was most likely due to fresh volatility arising from uncertainties in US monetary policy. Shiba Inu (SHIB) and the larger crypto market registered massive liquidations as a result. There is a high chance that Shiba Inu (SHIB) w...

As Bitcoin (BTC) lingers below the $110,000 mark, a trading analyst has warned that the asset may be facing a deeper correction if certain levels are breached. According to Analysis by Ted Pillows, after a recent decline from resistance above $113,000, the cryptocurrency is holding within a critical support zone.  Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: Ted Pillows The outlook suggests that $112,000 remains a key level for bulls, as reclaiming it could trigger a fresh uptrend toward $118,000 and potentially retest the $123,000–$124,000 region. On the downside, immediate support lies around $107,000, where failure to hold could confirm the start of a broader correction.  A break below this level would expose the next major support cluster near $105,000, extending down to $101,000, signaling a deeper retracement. Notably, Bitcoin’s current price action highlights indecision, with the asset consolidating in a narrow range as traders weigh whether momentum w...

Social media plays a vital role in non-fungible token projects by facilitating two-way communication, fostering brand loyalty, and building community through interactive content like polls and shared user experiences.

Ripple’s monthly escrow schedule is set to release 1 billion XRP on October 1, continuing the company’s long-running mechanism to manage the token’s circulating supply. The 1 billion XRP unlock, part of an escrow system established in 2017, often draws attention given its scale relative to the total 100 billion supply.  While the smart contract releases tokens on the first day of each month, Ripple typically sells only a fraction for operations and relocks the rest. The event can influence short-term liquidity and price, as sell-offs add market pressure and traders often position around unlocks. However, Ripple’s practice of returning large portions to escrow usually softens the actual supply impact. It’s worth noting that this year, Ripple’s escrow activity has shown irregularities such as delayed or split tranches. However, the blockchain firm clarified that the schedule remains intact, with delays stemming from transaction submission mechanics rather than co...

ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood says one altcoin is turning out to be a serious challenger in the digital asset space. In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Wood says that while Bitcoin (BTC) has been leading the market, other altcoins, including Hyperliquid (HYPE), are starting to show their true strength. Hyperliquid is a layer 1 blockchain and decentralized exchange (DEX) designed for high-performance trading of perpetual futures and spot crypto assets. HYPE, its native token, was launched at around $8.43 in December of 2024, but is now trading at $48.60. Says Wood, “We’ve been increasing our exposure generally to the digital asset space. I think Bitcoin has been the leader of the pack. The others are following. Ether has followed and now Solana. Hyperliquid is the new one, the new kid on the block.  We think this is three revolutions in one: a monetary revolution, a financial services revolution, and, really, in a much broader sense, a digit...

XRP shed more than $11 billion in market value overnight, slipping from a capitalization of $179.39 billion on September 21 to just $168.35 billion by September 22.  XRP 1-day market cap. Source: CoinMarketCap The token trades at $2.81, marking its sharpest single-day drop since July and reinforcing the fragility of altcoin momentum in a market dominated once again by Bitcoin. The decline followed the euphoric launch of the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR), which had attracted a record $37.7 million in first-day volume only days earlier. While the debut was hailed as a milestone for regulated XRP exposure, it also created the conditions for a classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” dynamic.  Traders who had positioned heavily ahead of the launch used the liquidity window to lock in gains, amplifying the pullback as leveraged long positions were unwound. More than $1.7 billion in crypto derivatives were liquidated across the market, with nearly 90% of those positions coming...
