A major XRP transaction got attention on June 3 after 27.1 million XRP — worth about $60.1 million — was sent to Coinbase from a mystery wallet. Whale Alert pointed out that the transfer was from an “unknown wallet” to Coinbase. Of course, that set off a lot of speculation. Was a whale getting ready to sell? Was this an outside group moving in? The timing made it interesting — the XRP price was quoting at about $2.24 and gaining some upward momentum. Large exchange inflows can sometimes be a sign that the market is about to move, so traders…
The XRP community is keeping a close eye on the long-running Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit, with an important deadline approaching.

The premier cryptocurrency, which had traded steadily within the $104,000–$106,000 range throughout the week, plunged to below $101,000 as tensions escalated between the two influential figures who attacked each other via their personally owned social media platforms i.e. X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social.

With another consolidation developing, market analyst Crypto Daan has highlighted the price levels that are critical to the next…

The Bitcoin of yesteryear is gone. In its place is a sprawling, sometimes absurd, sometimes inspiring ecosystem. Call it pragmatism. Call it growth. Just don’t call it maximalist. The Maximalist Era Ends Perhaps I’m biased because I attended the Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, but the news cycle last week was dominated by stories originating from the conference.

As Jeff Garzik told me during an interview on-site, “the Bitcoin community is moving from Bitcoin maximalism to Bitcoin pragmatism.” I liked the framing so…
