Whale Amasses 83,359,233,965 Shiba Inu Amid Market Rebound

0

Recovery may be on the horizon as a whale accumulates millions of dollars worth of Shiba Inu and Pepecoin.

The recent market downturn drew skepticism among market participants as Bitcoin and altcoins have failed to live up to the October hype. For instance, Shiba Inu is almost 18% away from its $0.00002169 high late last month.

Meanwhile, a whale has looked past the short-term FUD in the market, accumulating a massive amount of Shiba Inu and Pepecoin. Data from blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain shows that a wallet withdrew 83.36 billion SHIB and 101.8 billion PEPE from Binance.

Whale Goes Shopping at Premium Discount

The whale recently made the most of the market consolidation, acquiring SHIB and PEPE at discounted prices. Data from Etherscan shows that the wallet accumulated 101.8 PEPE with a little above $1 million at an average cost of $0.00000984 per token.

Also, the whale withdrew 83.36 billion SHIB over two transactions, worth a combined $1.49 million. The wallet received 83.3 billion SHIB and 612,120 SHIB from Binance at an average cost of $0.00001786 each.

It’s worth noting that the whale made these significant acquisitions on Friday at 3.26 pm (UTC). With this purchase, the wallet now holds 456 billion SHIB ($8.16 million) and 964 billion PEPE ($9.49 million).

Etherscan also reveals that the wallet holds other tokens, including $1.27 million worth of Smooth Love Portion (SLP) and $1.14 million in FetchAi (FET).

Will Accumulation Drive Market Recovery Underway?

Notably, the Friday accumulation came a few days after another whale withdrew 1 trillion Shiba Inu from Indodax. The transaction, which happened on October 4, saw the wallet receive $16 million in SHIB, 1.8 trillion PEPE ($16.2 million), and 14,400 ETH ($34.3 million).

It bears mentioning that accumulation of this nature dictates investor confidence and creates a positive sentiment among market participants, driving prices higher. Notably, the market has rebounded considerably in the past 24 hours.

For context, SHIB has appreciated almost 6% in the past day to trade at $0.00001785. Also, PEPE pulled a similar uptrend, growing 5% to $0.000009867. Generally, the meme coin sector is up 7.9% in the past 24 hours, with a combined market cap of $56 billion.

Here’s Shiba Inu Price and Market Cap if SHIB is Able to Rise 1,000%, 5,000% and 10,000%

0

The Shiba Inu price could potentially erase two leading zeros and trigger a massive spike in market cap if SHIB manages to spike up to 10,000%.

Notably, the crypto market has faced turbulence over the past seven months. This turbulence has been a direct effect of the correction that began in March 2024. SHIB is one of the victims of the market-wide challenges, having dropped from its yearly peak of $0.000045 in early March.

Shiba Inu Halts Rally

The current issues have dampened the rally potential of multiple assets, including Shiba Inu. For instance, SHIB spiked by over 360% within two weeks to reach $0.000045. However, the roadblock at this level halted the upsurge. 

Interestingly, data from on-chain intelligence platform IntoTheBlock confirms this potent resistance level. Per IntoTheBlock, Shiba Inu faces a massive supply wall between $0.000036 and $0.000045. Notably, about 63,950 addresses hold 12.61 trillion SHIB at this level.

Since Shiba Inu’s collapse from the $0.000045 high, it has been unable to reclaim the price region. Despite the lack of conviction, investor optimism remains high. One major catalyst of this optimism is the ton of analyses predicting SHIB to recover $0.000045 and even aim higher targets like $0.000081.

Some market commentators cite Shiba Inu’s historical success as motivation. For context, CoinGecko confirmed that SHIB transformed $12 to $1 million from 2020 to 2021 amid an impressive 8,424,203% rise within 453 days. 

Amid the bullish predictions, varying degrees of rallies have surfaced. For instance, Shiba Inu marketer Lucie recently suggested SHIB is capable of rallying 1,000% within a short period. 

Shiba Inu Price and Market Cap After 1,000%, 5,000% or 10,000% Rally

In April, a market analyst argued that Shiba Inu is among multiple meme coins that could rise 5,000% or 50x. Another analyst Ava Monaro predicted in July that SHIB could rise 10,000% along with other tokens following the launch of Ethereum ETFs.

If Shiba Inu manages to secure any of these projections, its price would hit unprecedented levels. Notably, Shiba Inu price currently trades for $0.000017. A 1,000% rise from this price level would push prices to $0.000187. This price point translates to a market cap of $110.14 billion for SHIB.

Meanwhile, if Shiba Inu secures a 5,000% rally, its price could theoretically increase to $0.000867. Such a price would lead to a SHIB market cap of $510.6 billion, nearly half of Bitcoin’s (BTC) current valuation, and much higher than of Ethereum (ETH).

Lastly, a 10,000% rally from SHIB would result in a price of $0.001717, leading to a market cap of $1.01 trillion, nearly reaching Bitcoin’s valuation. However, it bears mentioning that these projections are merely hypothetical and should not serve as investment advice.

Kamala Harris Campaign Receives $1,000,000 in XRP: Details

0

In a remarkable turn of events, the political campaign of Kamala Harris has received over 1 million XRP as donations.

This development came to light on Friday and has been confirmed by CNBC and FOX Business News. The substantial donation in XRP tokens, which will finance the reelection of an administration that has faced criticism from crypto holders—particularly XRP investors—has raised significant eyebrows in the crypto community.

Ironically, the donation came from Chris Larsen, co-founder and chairman of Ripple, according to new FEC filings. The filing revealed that Larsen contributed $1 million in XRP tokens to a prominent super PAC backing Kamala Harris. Specifically, he donated 1,754,815.29 XRP to Future Forward USA to support Harris’ campaign.

It is worth noting that the donation was received in August, but documentation of this action only became public yesterday. The receipt indicated that the donated XRP tokens were not liquidated but retained in their original form when Larsen made the payment.

Harris Administration Now Recognizing XRP as “Money”?

This move has elicited mixed reactions from the crypto community, with various commentators offering their perspectives on Larsen’s donation.

CryptoLaw suggested that the Harris campaign’s acceptance of such a large volume of XRP tokens implies the administration may be recognizing XRP as money rather than a security.

However, some commenters argued that the Harris campaign may simply not care which crypto asset is used for donations as long as the campaign receives the funding it needs. In response, CryptoLaw reiterated that this perspective reinforces the point of recognizing XRP as money.

Meanwhile, other commentators found it ironic that a top executive at Ripple could be funding the campaign of an administration that has caused significant setbacks for them due to a four-year-running lawsuit.

“Paying the people that are suing you, huh? Nothing suspicious about that,” remarked Ian Heinisch, a digital asset investor. “As if XRP couldn’t get any more ridiculous, they do this,” said Jeff Kirdeikis, an angel investor in crypto.

Prominent figures in the crypto industry, such as Dogecoin founder Billy Markus, believe Larsen’s $1 million XRP donation to Harris’ campaign could be a strategic move to influence her stance on cryptocurrency in the future.

Interestingly, other Ripple executives, like chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty, have made donations in XRP to Donald Trump’s campaign. According to online pundits, this apparent divide in Ripple’s leadership, supporting both sides of the political spectrum, maybe a strategic move to maintain favor regardless of who wins the November election.

Analyst Bets on Cardano to Hit $0.5 Within This Timeline

0

Market analyst and Crypto Capital Venture founder Dam Gambardello has placed a bet on Cardano hitting a six-month high by the end of October.

Amidst Cardano’s rebound, analyst Dam Gambardello believes ADA is on track to breach the $0.5 price mark. For context, Cardano has spiked over 3% in the past 24 hours after holding the major support at $0.33, reigniting optimism among investors.

Notably, the bounce from the support defied a previous bearish analysis from a notable market commentator. Analyst Siyamakbayrami had argued that Cardano would test the price range between $0.22 and $0.26 if the demand zone at $0.33 failed to hold.

With the rebound, Gambardello says he believes Cardano would sustain the bullish trend and surge to $0.5 by the end of this month, with October only 19 days from closing. Although he didn’t specify the reason behind the call, he placed an incentive for a user if ADA failed to hit the price mark.

A 1,000 ADA Bet on The Line

To assure his 263,400 followers of his conviction, Gambardello noted he would give 1,000 ADA to a user if Cardano failed to breach the $0.5 price mark.

Notably, an uptick to $0.5 from ADA’s current price is not much of a lofty speculation, as it would require that the 11th largest crypto asset surge almost 30% from its current price of $0.3532. For context, Shiba Inu surged 21% in one day and 43% in the nine days in late September to reach a ten-month high of $0.0000213.

However, considering Cardano’s recent price performance, the surge seems challenging. Also, the recent broader market volatility has triggered doubt among some market participants. For context, Bitcoin dipped below $59,000 on Thursday, leading to a broader market downtrend.

Meanwhile, the analyst is willing to part ways with 1,000 ADA if his predictions don’t go well. At the current price, the US dollar worth of 1,000 ADA is $353.2

Analysis Backing $0.5 Call

Gambardello has long speculated an ADA uptick to $0.5. His Saturday prediction came three weeks after his earlier assertion that the altcoin would trade at the price mark. In his initial analysis, he cited a breakout from a symmetrical triangle and favorable macroeconomics, like the impending Federal Reserve rate cut, as driving factors.

In another assertion, Gambardello cited a supercharged ADA/BTC chart and stated that all indicators point to an explosive rally. He also noted that ADA would test the 50-day MA close to $0.57, with a successful outcome driving the asset 1,000% to $3.553.

Shiba Inu Braces for 342% Spike to $0.00008 After Falling Wedge Breakout

0

Shiba Inu (SHIB) witnesses an important pattern breakout, which could signal a sharp price increase in the near term.

Notably, market analyst Javon Marks recently pointed to a falling wedge pattern that SHIB has broken out from. He suggested that a 342% rally may be looming. His analysis indicates that Shiba Inu could rise toward $0.000081 if this breakout leads to sustained upward momentum.

Falling Wedge Breakout

The accompanying chart shows that SHIB had been consolidating within the falling wedge structure for over five months. This pattern began forming in March 2024 after SHIB experienced a correction from the $0.000045 yearly peak. 

Javon Marks on X

Amid the retracement from March to August 2024, SHIB’s price steadily declined, forming lower highs and lower lows, typical of a falling wedge formation. The broader crypto market’s drop also bolstered the bearish pressure that Shiba Inu faced.

Interestingly, in August, SHIB finally broke out of this pattern, signaling the potential for a strong upward move. Marks noted that SHIB breaking through this wedge pattern could be a catalyst for a substantial price increase. 

According to his analysis, if Shiba Inu continues on its current trajectory, it has the potential to rise to $0.000081, a 342% increase from the current price region. The last time SHIB saw the $0.00008 price territory was during the bull run in October 2021. 

Shiba Inu Historical Context

A look at the chart reveals that SHIB has already seen sharp upward movements after breaking similar patterns in the past. Notably, from December 2023 to February 2024, Shiba Inu persistently saw lower lows, forming a similar falling wedge.

However, after it broke out in late February 2024, the dog-themed token experienced a massive 368% spike from $0.0000096 to $0.000045 in less than two weeks. If history repeats, the current breakout could lead to another explosive rally.

Current Market Condition

Meanwhile, SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001792. After breaking out of the recent falling wedge, the price has been recording higher lows, a sign of a strengthening trend.

Shiba Inu 1D Chart

Data confirms that SHIB’s pivot point is at $0.00001719, which is just below the current price. The pivot point is currently a point of important support for Shiba Inu. If SHIB can hold above this level, it could gain the necessary momentum to test higher resistance points.

The first major resistance is at $0.00002077 (R1). If SHIB breaks through this level, the next target would be $0.00002299 (R2), with a further upside potential of $0.00002657 (R3). Shiba Inu will need strong buying pressure to overcome these levels.

In contrast, key support levels to watch are $0.00001361 (S1), $0.00001139 (S2), and $0.00000781 (S3). If SHIB loses momentum and drops below the pivot point of $0.00001719, these levels will become important support zones to prevent a steep decline.

Financial Analyst Explains How Owning 15,365 XRP Could Change Your Financial Future Forever

0

Financial analyst Levi Rietveld has suggested that holding 15,365 XRP could drastically alter one’s financial future.

Rietveld emphasizes that XRP is poised for significant gains, especially as institutional adoption ramps up. His recommendation is based on the 30/70 rule, which advises long-term holders to be prepared to sell 30% of their holdings during peak market conditions.

How Owning 15,365 XRP Could Lead to Substantial Wealth

With 15,365 XRP, investors could sell 5,000 tokens during the ongoing bull run. At a projected $10 per XRP, it would yield around $50,000.

However, Rietveld sees even greater potential. He projects that XRP could reach $25 in this bull run, elevating the 15,365 XRP portfolio to a value of $384,000. Applying the 30/70 rule, if an investor sells 5,000 tokens, they could walk away with a profit of $125,000.

For context, it costs $8,258 to acquire 15,365 XRP today, given the floor price of $0.5375. The 5,000 tokens expected to be sold during the peak for $125,000 would have been worth just $2,687.50. This translates to a massive return on investment of 4,551%.

Notably, those who hold a bit more, such as 40,000 tokens, could become millionaires if the asset attains $25, making a life-changing return for many.

During the analysis, Rietveld acknowledged that he personally holds more than 15,000 XRP. He revealed that when the market hits all-time highs next year, he plans to sell around 70% of his XRP holdings, capitalizing on the accrued gains.

“This strategy will set me and my family up for life if we hit the numbers I’m expecting — millions in profits,” he said.

In a previous video, Rietveld revealed that investors could turn a $1,000 investment in XRP into $1 million through leveraged trading. For example, a 5x leverage could transform a 200% gain into 1,000%, making the investment worth $1 million. However, he advised caution with higher leverage due to liquidation risks, recommending 2x to 5x as safer options.

Timing Is Running Out to Buy 15,365 XRP

Notably, Rietveld’s promising outlook on XRP is founded on the anticipation of institutional investors joining the XRP market. According to him, this was seen back in 2017 and 2018, which enabled XRP to reach an all-time high during that period.

He stressed that there was a liquidity crunch because institutions had a limited supply to buy from, causing a massive price squeeze. “That’s exactly what I think will happen again,” he said.

With the possibility of zero-interest rates and further money printing in 2025, Rietveld believes crypto markets, particularly altcoins like XRP, are on the verge of an unprecedented surge. As a result, he stressed that for those without 15,365 XRP, the window to buy more is closing quickly, urging them to take action promptly.

Shiba Inu Lead Reacts as Shiba Inu Features in a DeLorean NFT Commercial

0

Shiba Inu lead Shytoshi Kusama reacts to an NFT commercial from automobile manufacturer DeLorean featuring a Shiba Inu.

The crypto scene and pop culture recently collided in a unique way, as “Back to the Future” star Christopher Lloyd appeared in a DeLorean NFT commercial that also featured a Shiba Inu dog. This cameo didn’t go unnoticed by Shytoshi Kusama, the Shiba Inu lead developer, who took to X to express his excitement.

Kusama Reacts to Shiba Inu Feature

In a post, Kusama reacted with enthusiasm to the commercial, which he saw as a nod to the growing influence of the Shiba Inu brand in mainstream media.

He highlighted the involvement of DeLorean Motors and DeLorean Labs, the Web3 division of the iconic automotive brand, and noted the appearance of the Shiba Inu in the commercial alongside Lloyd. 

Interestingly, Kusama’s post hinted at an exciting potential future. He encouraged the community to get involved and freely explore the possibilities the project could hold. Participants can mint the Time Capsule NFT freely at the official website.

In a similar but recent development, Shiba Inu also featured in the Cybercab project introduced by Elon Musk’s Tesla this week. The official Dogecoin X account teased this cameo in a post on X.

The Shiba Inu’s appearance in the DeLorean Time Capsule commercial is a nod to Web3 in the ad, which blends nostalgia with futurism. Directed by Allan Ungar, the commercial pays homage to Lloyd’s famous role as Doc Brown in “Back to the Future” while introducing DeLorean’s new NFT project. 

The DeLorean Time Capsule NFTs

The Time Capsule NFTs, a primary focus of the commercial, are part of DeLorean’s latest leap into the digital era. These NFTs are minted on the Sui blockchain and represent 8,800 collectibles, which are designed to drive innovation in the automotive and digital scenes. 

The unique aspect of this collection is the opportunity for holders to win various prizes, including a brand-new DeLorean EV model, early reservations for the upcoming vehicle builds, exclusive Nike Dunk SE sneakers, and even an F1 experience package. 

Per the disclosure, participants also stand a chance to win more prizes, which the project will reveal in the coming months. This helps bolster the anticipation surrounding the NFT project.

DeLorean first introduced the Time Capsule project at this year’s Token2049 conference in Singapore, with the Web3 community receiving it warmly. In the initial minting window, participants quickly claimed 800 NFTs in under 32 minutes. This confirmed the high demand for the limited-edition collectibles. 

The team has scheduled additional minting windows through October and November 2024, leading up to the grand reveal in December. The project represents a combination of digital innovation, automotive history, and the rising trend of NFT-based experience.

Here are 5 Different Timelines for Shiba Inu to Surge 437% to $0.0001 and 5,276% to $0.001

0

Shiba Inu has been the subject of multiple price analyses, with market commentators presenting different timelines for moderate to ambitious surges.

Some of these analyses have come up during periods of market downturn, while others have built on recovery efforts displayed by the dog-themed altcoin. Regardless of the prevailing momentum, these reports often suggest that SHIB might be setting up a structure for a monumental price surge.

SHIB Leverages Recovery Push

At the reporting time, Shiba Inu has positioned itself as one of the largest gainers, leveraging a recent rebound push from the broader market to secure unique gains. Currently trading for $0.0000186, Shiba Inu has increased 7% over the past 24 hours, dwarfing Bitcoin (BTC), which is up 2.49% within the same timeframe.

Sudden recoveries like the latest one have bolstered confidence in SHIB’s ability to perform admirably during a broader market uptrend, potentially outperforming leading assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH). This trend occurred earlier this year, when SHIB spiked to a yearly peak of $0.000045 in March.

Some believe this pattern could push SHIB to higher prices, including $0.0001 and $0.001. However, the timeframes for such a rally to occur have varied across different analysts. 

Five Timelines for Shiba Inu to Hit $0.0001 and $0.001

At its current position, Shiba Inu would need to increase by just 437% to clinch the $0.0001 price, setting up a new all-time high in the process. Notably, in a disclosure three months back, a Forbes report suggested that Shiba Inu could potentially reach the $0.0001 level and extend to $0.0003 from now till next year.

However, The Crypto Basic confirmed in July that analysts at crypto exchange platform Changelly are not as optimistic. While these analysts also expect Shiba Inu to eventually clinch the $0.0001 level, they believe it can only reach this territory in the next three years, essentially by 2027.

Also, in April, Eunice Wong, a market commentator, argued that Shiba Inu was on the verge of claiming the $0.0001 price. Wong’s analysis suggested that SHIB could hit this level during the second phase of the ongoing bull market, which would materialize over the next few months, potentially in 2025.

Meanwhile, the more ambitious $0.001 target has also taken center stage. SHIB would have to appreciate by a more extensive 5,276% rate to reach the $0.001 region. Interestingly, TradingView analyst Krao projected last month that Shiba Inu is close to an imminent breakout that could push prices to $0.001. He expects the breakout to occur in Q1 2025.

However, in an updated report, Changelly analysts believe this $0.001 price level would take longer to materialize. They predict Shiba Inu to reach a maximum price of $0.0011 by 2033, nearly nine years from now. Also, these market experts see SHIB attaining the $0.0001 in 2027, as opposed to multiple projections that it could happen next year.

BitBoy on XRP: In 5 Years You’d Wish You Bought More XRP

0

Famous crypto commentator Ben “BitBoy” Armstrong reiterates his long-standing bullish perspective on XRP, suggesting that investors might regret their current investment decisions.

In a recent post on X, Armstrong asserted that in five years, today’s XRP investors will wish they had accumulated more tokens. This perspective rests on his belief in the long-term prospects of the seventh-largest cryptocurrency.

XRP trades around $0.5393 today, but optimistic market commentators like BitBoy believe the asset could be worth significantly more by the end of the decade. Major factors influencing his optimism include the introduction of XRP ETFs and Ripple’s anticipated initial public offering (IPO).

BitBoy’s Optimistic Price Targets for XRP

In a statement in July 2023, BitBoy argued that XRP could see its value rise to $15 or even up to $35, depending on the timing of Ripple’s IPO.

In another analysis in August, he projected that XRP could achieve a valuation of over $6 trillion, which would correspond to a market price of approximately $60.

His latest bullish commentary on XRP follows one from last week when he encouraged crypto enthusiasts to pay close attention to XRP, warning that it could be the top-performing crypto asset of the season.

Notably, in this recent post, BitBoy did not provide a specific target for XRP by 2029. He merely expressed his belief that investors could regret not holding more XRP than they currently do. The post has attracted mixed reactions from community members.

While some agree that XRP’s five-year outlook is promising, others argue that XRP’s historical patterns do not support this claim. In particular, one commenter noted that they bought XRP five years ago, and since then, the price has not improved, suggesting the next five years may not be as promising as BitBoy suggests.

XRP Price Action in the Last Five Years

On October 11, 2019, XRP opened for trading at $0.2721, reaching an intraday high of $0.2759 and closing at $0.2711. Fast forward to today, XRP is priced at $0.5393, reflecting a five-year gain of 98.93%.

In comparison, Bitcoin was valued as low as $8,316 five years ago but is now worth $61,012, resulting in an impressive five-year return of 633%. Looking at other altcoins, Ethereum boasts an even more commendable five-year gain of 1,220%, trading at $2,410 today, compared to $181 in October 2019.

Essentially, while XRP’s price action over the last five years may be less impressive, market watchers believe the coming half-decade could hold greater promise.

Michael Saylor Says MicroStrategy’s Ultimately Plans to Become a Bitcoin Bank

0

Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy, has revealed what the business intelligence firm aims to achieve with its incessant Bitcoin purchases.

According to a Friday client note from brokerage firm Bernstein, MicroStrategy intends to ultimately become a Bitcoin bank. Bernstein’s digital asset lead, Gautam Chhugani, cited an interview with Saylor in the recent disclosure.

Michael Saylor has incessantly asserted that Bitcoin is a superior asset and the best in the 21st century. He often describes the largest cryptocurrency by market cap as a store of value and a proper hedge against inflation.

Notably, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy has become a template most companies adopt. The software firm adopted the premier asset as its primary treasury reserve in 2020 and has acquired 252,220 BTC at the time of writing. The Friday release has finally revealed Saylor and MicroStrategy’s broader picture in its ploy to purchase as much Bitcoin as it possibly can.

A Bitcoin Bank That Borrows And Not Lends

Saylor stated in the interview that MicroStrategy’s endgame was to become a Bitcoin bank or finance company. However, instead of lending, it intends to borrow fiat from individuals and corporate bodies to fund its insatiable Bitcoin purchase.

In return, MicroStrategy would offer them debt notes, shares of its stock, and other instruments with low-risk annual returns. Saylor noted that the business intelligence firm intends to acquire $100 billion to $150 billion worth of Bitcoin through these debt instruments.

MicroStrategy also intends to expand its debt strategy to the fixed-income market and acquire more funds to buy Bitcoin. Saylor noted that MicroStrategy will grow to a trillion-dollar firm as it acquires Bitcoin, and the asset grows to millions of dollars per coin.

Notably, Saylor had earlier predicted that Bitcoin would trade in seven to eight figures in the near future. He asserted that the premier asset will expand its global market share from 0.1% to at least 7%, driving its price to $13 million in 2045.

A Bet On Bitcoin, The Most Profitable

Furthermore, Saylor argued that it would rather lend to Bitcoin than to individual and corporate entities. According to him, Bitcoin would yield more return on investment than other entities; hence, the approach of borrowing rather than lending out its Bitcoin stash.

Saylor projected that Bitcoin would provide investors with an average annualized return of 22% over the next decade. Hence, he would rather increase his stash than depreciate it by lending to other entities, as none offers a similar interest rate.

This approach has been evident in MicroStrategy’s latest dealings, as they have raised $4 billion in debt notes to buy Bitcoin. Notably, the strategy has brought criticism and accolades alike to MicroStrategy and Saylor.

Meanwhile, Saylor sees more Bitcoin adoption in the future. Firms like Marathon Digitals, Metaplanet, and Semler Scientific have all adopted the premier asset as a primary store of value.
