Large $XRP Orders Binance whale sell orders reached $15, while Coinbase whales placed orders as high as $31. In some of CW’s more recent updates, sell walls from both exchanges have reached as high as $33. This confirms that $XRP currently trades far below the main resistance areas. At $1.4930, $XRP remains less than 10% of the way to the first major sell wall around $5. The full range of sell orders also stretches to roughly 20 times the current price. If $XRP begins another strong rally, buyers will need to work through these layers of supply one by one.…
“Same thesis as Neo X and SpoonOS: Neo N4 isn’t about launching a new chain. It’s about building chain-native apps on top of N3, application-centric, serving users better in the AI era.” What this architecture is designed to enable The elastic network model is designed to let different applications run on their own dedicated chains while sharing Neo N3 as a common settlement and security layer. A gaming application could run on a chain optimised for high throughput and low latency, while a DeFi application runs on a separate chain with stricter security guarantees, but both would share the same…

The climb above $2,700 broke the previous chart’s bearish structures. $ETH also retained its position at 0.032 $BTC, achieving a faster recovery compared to the leading coin. $ETH took months to shake off the damage of the October 10, 2025 liquidation event. Nearly a year later, $ETH looks more hopeful, though traders are cautious about announcing a full bull market. As Cryptopolitan reported, $ETH is closely watched for its capability of breaking above $5,000. $ETH open interest is back at over $18B, while spot demand has depleted exchange reserves, setting up the stage for another breakout to a higher price…
Although SEC filings haven’t yet disclosed the name of the buyer, Jim Cramer posted today, “If I didn’t know any better I would say Leopold is back!” ZeroHedge agreed. Options provide financial leverage by design, and their short time to maturity makes these contracts even more volatile. All these options expire on October 2. Situational Awareness previously ran on leverage as high as 400%, growing from $225 million at launch in 2024 and soaring past $45 billion in July before liquidating assets in a fire sale to Ken Griffin’s Citadel. ZeroHedge listed four particularly bullish prints of October 2 expiry…
Cardano’s price peaked at $3.09 on September 2, 2021, just before the Alonzo upgrade that introduced native smart contract capability to the network. The Alonzo upgrade, which was part of the Goguen development phase, included the Plutus smart contract platform and was launched on September 12, 2021. But five years later, Cardano is down 93.19% from its $ATH of $3.09, with the market divided over whether $ADA can reclaim it. While $ADA has seen price increases since then, none has been strong enough to challenge the $3.09 record. At the time of writing, Cardano was trading at $0.21; it might…
A week ago, it felt as if the world was about to fall apart for bitcoin and the wider crypto market. Most participants expected a Fed rate hike and the Clarity Act’s failure in the Senate to trigger a sharp sell-off. But it didn’t—even though the Fed hiked rates and the Clarity Act failed in the Senate. Market participants are split on what drove the resilience and what it means for the near-term outlook. Explaining the resilience Ahead of the Senate vote on the night of Sept. 14, bitcoin fell as pre-vote jitters grew and rumors circulated about partisan gridlock…

Chainlink updates its crypto bridge tech months after a $292 million hack at a rival exposed risks
LayerZero blamed Kelp for using one verifier instead of several, while Kelp said LayerZero staff had reviewed its setup and never objected. CoinGecko data showed nearly half of active LayerZero apps used the same one-verifier arrangement, and Kelp said it would move rsETH to Chainlink. CCIP 2.0 offers a similar menu of verifiers, which lets companies run their own or hire outside providers such as Infosys and Nethermind. Chainlink’s own network of 16 independent node operators still checks every transfer, regardless of what else a user adds. Users shouldn’t have to be “cross-chain security infrastructure experts,” the company told CoinDesk.…
