Investors holding 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 XRP could see their portfolio grow to as much as $500,000 if XRP price reaches the $100 level. XRP continues to trade below the crucial $0.50 threshold after decisively collapsing underneath it on June 20. Despite periods of sharp price increases, XRP has failed to reclaim $0.50 as a result of the ongoing market collapse. This decline has also kept Bitcoin (BTC) below $65,000 since June 21. XRP Witnesses Increased Accumulation However, multiple market analysts regard the prevalent downtrend as an opportunity to procure XRP at discounted prices. Notably, at its all-time high of…
The first major arrest of a prominent messaging or social media company CEO may not be the last, Galaxy said. Telegram and Durov were probably resisting takedown or information requests, the report said. Some of the charges could be linked to Telegram’s integration with TON or the blockchain’s presumed use in illegal activity, Galaxy said. The detention of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France is the first major arrest of a prominent messaging or social-media company boss for failing to sufficiently police its platform. It is unlikely to be the last, Galaxy Research said in a report on Monday. Governments…

Between Bitcoin and Ethereum, the state of the cryptocurrency market today is displaying a sharp contrast. While ETH is seeing withdrawals, BTC is exhibiting strength, with steady inflows into spot ETFs for 12 straight days, suggesting a difference in investor sentiment between the two biggest cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is currently maintaining its position with slight optimism. Thanks to a recent bounce from the 100-day moving average, Bitcoin has been able to maintain its position above $62,000. This level has served as an important support, and the bullish momentum may continue as long as BTC stays above it. The substantial inflows into…
The concept of CBDCs — short for “central bank digital currencies — has been around since the early days of crypto, and in recent years it has garnered a lot of interest from central banks themselves. Last year, a study by the U.S.-based think tank Atlantic Council revealed that 130 countries were actively exploring the idea of launching a digital, blockchain-based version of their national currencies, with almost half of them having progressed to the development stage. Fast forward another year, and a handful of countries have already gone ahead and launched their official CBDCs, and there are many more…
When French authorities arrested Telegram founder Pavel Durov after his attempted meeting with Vladimir Putin, conspiracy theories spread like wildfire. Andrew Tate was early to spin the news in his favor, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “The owner of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has just been arrested in France for failing to censor the truth on his application. “Potential charges include support for terrorism, drug trafficking, complicity in crimes, mass fraud, money laundering, concealment, pedophile content, sanctions evasion, and more.” Others soon re-posted his non-falsifiable dog whistle, earning it millions of impressions and hundreds of thousands of likes. Mischaracterizations of Durov’s…

Revenue for publicly traded Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrency miners on Wall Street has fallen by 12%. This continues the negative reaction to April’s halving, which reduced block rewards, coupled with low network fees and rising production costs. According to the latest JPMorgan report, this is making it difficult for miners to maintain profitability. A few months ago, the fourth Bitcoin halving event took place, reducing the rewards received by miners from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. As a result, miners receive half as much revenue for their work, and the competition for mining new BTC has significantly intensified. “The…
