The gap places Tron well ahead of these competitors on this specific metric. However, network revenue does not capture every aspect of blockchain activity, and differences in fee structures make direct comparisons more complex. $USDT Transfers Drive Tron’s Network Activity Tron’s revenue strength is closely linked to its role as a major network for Tether’s $USDT stablecoin. Users frequently rely on Tron to transfer dollar-pegged tokens between exchanges and wallets, supporting consistent transaction demand. This payment-focused activity helps explain why Tron can generate substantial revenue without relying solely on speculative trading or decentralized finance. Transactions require network resources, linking usage…
The firm also sought clearer rules on when managers can rely on an issuer’s proposed Form TR filing, which would certify that an investment contract has ceased to exist, and how they should assess tokens when no such filing exists. Source: US Securities and Exchange Commission In a separate submission, the Hyperliquid Policy Center urged the SEC to broaden its proposed safe harbor, arguing that it could come too late in a project’s development. The group called for clearer protections for airdrops that reward network participation, as well as guidance on token buybacks. Hyperliquid also warned that the proposal “fails…
This development marks a major expansion for Ripple as retail and institutional investors within the country now have access to its native U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin through multiple trading channels. Following the launch, Inveo Kripto has revealed that $RLUSD is now available on its mobile application, web platform, and over-the-counter (OTC) services. While the company further confirmed that it has completed its integration with Ripple and successfully executed its first $RLUSD transaction, the move positions the stablecoin for wider adoption among investors in the country. Also, this could potentially garner increased trading activity, which could boost its growth among other stablecoins.…
ChatGPT predicts $BTC price at the end of 2026. Source: Finbold and ChatGPT However, OpenAI’s leading machine learning algorithm also outlined some other outcomes that could come true under specific market conditions. ChatGPT’s Bitcoin price prediction for the end of 2026 In its bearish scenario, ChatGPT said, Bitcoin could fall to between $60,000 and $75,000. Such an outcome implies a downside of up to 28.3% and could follow weakening demand, sustained outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, or financial conditions that discourage investors from holding riskier assets. The bullish scenario, which could lead to a rally of about 49%, sees Bitcoin potentially…
Fidelity’s new minimum is just $25,000 from its former $100,000 or higher threshold, including its old $500,000 minimum to participate in certain non-KKR underwritten offerings. The reduction arrives amid a broad push by brokerages to recruit smaller investors as US listings have slowed to a crawl, weeks before Anthropic’s planned November debut. Fidelity’s new minimum is just $25,000 from its former $100,000 or higher threshold. Historically, Fidelity has used asset minimums to gate access to brand new, historically risky offerings as a way to limit unsophisticated speculation. An LA Times columnist described IPO minimums as “protecting small retail clients from…
David Schwartz Says Ripple “Almost Had to Hide” XRP Use Before Institutions Wanted Blockchain Strategies
Ripple Made $XRP Payments Seamless for Customers Schwartz explained that Ripple initially focused on making blockchain-based payments work in the background, allowing customers to complete transactions without needing to understand the underlying technology. “You just make the payment,” he said, describing the approach. “Something is happening in the background. Don’t worry.” According to Schwartz, this approach helped Ripple integrate $XRP into payment flows without forcing users to interact directly with blockchain infrastructure. However, he said the situation has changed, with institutions increasingly interested in adopting blockchain technology and developing strategies around it. “Now, like, everybody wants a blockchain strategy, and…
Token Metrics As the FBI continues its enforcement actions, the broader crypto market exhibits mixed signals, with varying momentum across major assets. This case adds to the urgency for compliance within the crypto space as law enforcement agencies increasingly scrutinize financial activities for illicit connections. Stakeholders should remain aware of the regulatory landscape as these enforcement actions could lead to heightened scrutiny in the sector. The FBI, or Federal Bureau of Investigation, is the principal federal investigative agency and domestic intelligence service of the United States. It has jurisdiction over various criminal activities, including organized crime and money laundering. The…

Ethereum and XRP also remained steady following bullish daily closes, according to the report. However, the supplied technical analysis focuses on Bitcoin. $BTC continues to trade above its 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $80,769 and its 200-day EMA at $76,090. Holding those levels preserves a constructive backdrop, although buyers still need stronger momentum to sustain an extended rally. Bitcoin’s daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator is approaching a crossover above its signal line. A completed bullish crossover would strengthen the case that downward momentum is fading. For now, the signal remains unconfirmed. The Relative Strength Index stands near 51, slightly…
The announcement followed AI developer Anthropic’s proposal to commit 5% of its shares to a new public benefit fund, subject to shareholder approval. At the firm’s current valuation of around $2 trillion, that would be $100 billion. The company could increase that allocation by another two percentage points for every 50% increase in its valuation above a specified baseline. However, this is at its board’s discretion. Anthropic intends to use the fund for charitable donations, direct distributions to selected populations and initiatives addressing AI-related job displacement. Including existing employee and founder pledges, the company estimates that roughly 20% of its…
