Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has put a clear number on the company’s 2026 business goal. According to posts shared by CoinMarketCap and crypto-focused accounts on X, Ripple expects to end 2026 with a $1 billion revenue run rate.

Bitcoin has edged slightly higher after touching lows near $58,500, but one of the most accurate forecasters of this cycle is not convinced the worst is over.

That is the conclusion of the original report from Binance Research, the institutional research arm of the Binance ecosystem. According to the analysis, traditional equity markets are siphoning liquidity from crypto at a time when the S&P 500 is experiencing historically high dispersion. The Equity Concentration Problem The Cboe Dispersion Index has climbed to 42, the third-highest reading on record.

The move comes as OpenAI has also been preparing for a potential IPO, with reports indicating…

Yesterday, Donald Trump said a peace agreement with Iran would be signed today, but Iran issued a denial. On the other hand, while strong doubts remain about whether the agreement will be signed, it appears that details of the deal include Iran agreeing not to develop nuclear weapons and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. With these developments creating activity in the cryptocurrency market, a large number of altcoins will also see significant token…
