Shiba Inu Officially Launches SHEboshi NFTs

The Shiba Inu ecosystem team has finally announced the launch of the highly anticipated SHEboshi non-fungible tokens (NFT) collections.

According to an announcement yesterday, the launch of SHEboshis marks the beginning of a new era for the NFT scene. The digital collectibles will pioneer a movement towards the creation of hybrid tokens, offering shared ownership and uniqueness for NFT enthusiasts.

Unlike existing NFTs, SHEboshi was launched as a DN404/ERC-404 token, a move that helped the Shiba Inu development team blend the unique features of ERC-20 and ERC-721 standards.

Notably, the team pointed out that the SHEboshi NFTs represent a daring stride into the future, encapsulating art, innovation, and the essence of the Shiba Inu community.

It bears mentioning that the SHEboshi NFTs were first introduced last week in the 13th edition of The Shib Magazine. Although the minting of SHEboshi was initially scheduled to begin last weekend, the exercise did not occur as planned.

SHEboshi Minting Commences

Per yesterday’s blog post, the team has officially flagged off SHEboshis’ minting on the Ethereum network.

Shiboshi holders will be the first investors to mint the NFTs. The move is part of an effort to reward them for their loyalty and support for the Shiba Inu NFT project.

Following a snapshot at block height 19227900, eligible wallets can claim one SHEboshi for each Shiboshi NFT they hold. Interestingly, some eligible Shiboshi holders have already minted the SHEboshi NFT, including Shiba Inu marketing specialist Lucie.

The claim period, which commenced yesterday, is slated to last 48 hours in contrast to the initial plan of 72 hours.

Upon the conclusion of the first claim period, the team will make the NFTs available for LEASH holders, who will have 24 hours to purchase the remaining SHEboshis.

There will also be a public sale for the remaining SHEboshi NFTs, which will take place on Uniswap and ShibaSwap.

Although SHEboshi debuted on the Ethereum network, the team disclosed plans to bridge the NFTs to Shibarium to enhance the network’s liquidity.

Allocation of SHEboshi Proceeds

As reported earlier, the SHEboshi proceeds will be allocated to different initiatives. Part of the proceeds will be used to burn Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens, including SHIB, LEASH, BONE, TREAT, and SHI.

The remaining portion will be allocated to Shiba Inu’s treasury, non-profit initiatives, expenses, and foundation.

According to OpenSea data, SHEboshis consists of 20,000 uniquely generated non-fungible tokens with a floor price of 0.12 ETH ($351.72).

Despite launching a few hours ago, SHEboshi’s total volume has surged to the current figure of 900 ETH, worth $2.63 million.

Bitcoin Elite Trader Says XRP is Next Shining Bull After Investing $500k

A prominent Bitcoin trader has proclaimed XRP the forthcoming star asset of the current bull market after investing half a million in the asset. 

A Bitcoin trader using the username “Doctor Profit” on X has explicitly designated XRP as the next shining bull. He even outlined a timeline for realizing his prediction. 

XRP Next Star Asset in Bull Market

The Bitcoin trader’s assertion arrives amid the crypto market’s recent upswing. Notably, Bitcoin surged past $52k and catalyzed gains for assets like Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA).

Despite a recent market pullback, SOL and ADA maintain impressive 30-day trajectories, each exceeding 20%.

In contrast, XRP has not mirrored the momentum of its counterparts following Bitcoin’s surge to $52k. It accrued only a cumulative 3.67% gain over the past 30 days.

This divergence in performance likely contributes to the Bitcoin trader’s declaration of XRP as the next asset poised to seize the spotlight.

According to the tweet, the Bitcoin trader anticipates a substantial turnaround for XRP within the next 30 to 60 days. However, he specified no target to look out for.

Bitcoin Trader Investing $500k in XRP

Furthermore, Doctor Profit disclosed investing half a million dollars in XRP recently. Notably, the Bitcoin elite trader acquired 888,353 XRP in two transactions at an average price of $0.56 four days ago.

As The Crypto Basic reported, the newly acquired XRP portfolio saw a gain of $10,098 just hours after the acquisitions, as XRP surged to $0.5714. 

Moreover, the trader highlighted that this recent acquisition marks his first substantial purchase of XRP since acquiring the asset at $0.32 the previous year.

Essentially, the Bitcoin trader has exhibited notable confidence in XRP amid the growing concerns about the asset’s underperformance.

Meanwhile, Doctor Profit’s recent proclamation regarding XRP as the next shining bull has ignited skepticism within the crypto community.

In response to his tweet, some have questioned his preference for XRP, while others have argued that XRP may lose its position in ranking the most prominent cryptocurrencies during this bull cycle.

Nonetheless, an increasing number of market observers see the bullish potential in XRP.

Bitcoin Proponent Arthur Hayes Calls Cardano Piece of Sh.t, Hoskinson Reacts

Arthur Hayes, the pro-Bitcoin co-founder of BitMEX, has taken to the social media platform X to criticize Cardano (ADA), sparking a response from Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson.

In a recent statement, Hayes characterized Cardano as a cryptocurrency lacking utility, dubbing it a sh.tty meme coin.

He supplemented his argument by presenting a list of the most prominent decentralized applications (dApps) within the crypto space. The list included dApps offering functionalities such as decentralized exchanges (DEX), liquid staking, NFT marketplaces, gaming platforms, and infrastructure projects.

In parallel, Hayes challenged ADA enthusiasts to identify any dApps launched on Cardano or offering heavily utilized Cardano-based services.

While acknowledging his limited knowledge on the matter, he concluded that it appears none of them do. Consequently, he derisively dismissed ADA as “dog sh.t,” inviting the Cardano founder to enlighten him.

Cardano Army Debunks Claims

Meanwhile, the Cardano community has greatly contested the claim that no prominent dApps launched on Cardano with tailored offerings.

Liqwid Labs, the first non-custodial pooled lending protocol with liquid staking on Cardano, responded by highlighting their contributions. 

They mentioned their development of Aave v3 liquidity pools alongside Lido liquid staking. Liqwid Labs emphasized that ADA lenders have the opportunity to earn yields from staking and borrow interest using a unified interest-bearing LP token.

Furthermore, they pointed out the innovative DeFi products by Cardano teams, including Minswap Labs, Optim, and Indigo.

Similarly, Cardano-based DEX Minswap Labs responded to Hayes. The team highlighted that in 2023 alone, Minswap facilitated over 2.1 million trades and processed a volume exceeding 4 billion ADA.

 

Moreover, it pointed out that Minswap attracted more than 401,000 users. Minswap Labs noted these figures are merely a fraction of the expansion occurring within the Cardano ecosystem.

Cardano Founder Reacts

In a tweet, Charles Hoskinson called out Arthur Hayes, seeking clarification about the motivation behind his criticism of Cardano. Moreover, Hoskinson remarked that Hayes is someone he admires, suggesting he does not expect such unfair criticism from him.

In reply, Hayes reiterated his perspective, stating ADA is a “piece of sh.t.” Similarly, he noted that his appreciation for Charles Hoskinson remains unchanged, regardless of his reservations about ADA.

As a result, Hoskinson pressed further, urging Hayes to specify precisely what aspects of Cardano he finds unfavorable. 

However, as of press time, Arthur Hayes has remained silent and provided no response to the straightforward question despite repeated calls from other community members.

Elizabeth Warren Reacts As Pro-XRP Lawyer Officially Decides to Run Against Her

Attorney John Deaton has declared his intention to run against Elizabeth Warren in the upcoming senate election.

The battle for who would become the next Massachusetts Senator has seen an interesting twist as pro-crypto lawyer John Deaton declares his intention to challenge Elizabeth Warren in this year’s election.

This comes days after reports emerged that he was considering running against Senator Warren.

Deaton Officially Declares to Run Against Warren

Attorney Deaton announced plans to take on Warren for her senate seat via a recent tweet. Interestingly, the pro-crypto lawyer and former U.S. Marine attached a campaign video to the tweet highlighting why he is the suitable candidate to represent the citizens of Massachusetts.

During the nearly three-minute video, Deaton shed light on his hardscrabble upbringing, his law career where he had to protect the rights of the “little guy” as seen in the Ripple case, and his service in the U.S. Marine.

Per Deaton, getting a seat in the U.S. Senate would allow him to “shake things up for the people who need it the most.”

His campaign promises include providing more accessible healthcare for everyone in Massachusetts, solving the migrant crisis, fighting inflation, offering better opportunities for children, and taking on the corruption in Washington.

Furthermore, Deaton took a swipe at Warren for abandoning her obligations and doing nothing for the people of Massachusetts.

“I’ll work day and night to make a difference in your life. I know your life’s struggles because I’ve lived them. I’ll fight for what is right because I have no fear, and I’ll never give up,” he remarked.

It bears mentioning that Attorney Deaton recently moved to Massachusetts from Rhode Island in preparation for this year’s election, where he would run under the Republican Party.

Senator Warren Seeks Donation

Surprisingly, Deaton’s announcement to run against Senator Warren stirred a reaction from the senator, who quickly requested donations to help her re-election bid. According to Warren: “It seems that the Republican party could not find a candidate in Massachusetts to run against me, so they brought in someone from Rhode Island who will have the backing of the GOP and special interest groups.”

 

She emailed donors, asking them to quickly send donations to compete against powerful interest groups who would fund Deaton’s campaign heavily.

According to Warren, the Republican Party selected Deaton to end her efforts toward taxing the rich, regulating top financial institutions, and making the government work for the working class.

Senator Warren urged donors to “pitch in $28” or anything they can spare towards her re-election bid.

A Strong Opposition

Meanwhile, Attorney Deaton would face strong opposition from Warren, whom many politicians consider unbeatable. Besides being a senator for over ten years, Warren is a law professor and strong voice in the U.S. Senate with a reputation for pioneering progressive policies, including creating a wealth tax.

She has strongly criticized cryptocurrencies, emphasizing her dedication to protecting unsuspecting investors from crypto scams and ensuring that banking rules apply to the crypto industry.

Conversely, Deaton is considered a prominent figure in the crypto industry as he fights to protect the rights of retail investors. As a result, Deaton got involved in the SEC v. Ripple lawsuit as amici curiae, where his contributions played a significant role in convincing the judge that XRP sales on digital exchanges are non-investment contracts.

He was also involved in the SEC v. LBRY case, representing tech journalist Naomi Brockwell. If Deaton gets elected in November, crypto enthusiasts and most Massachusetts citizens will hope he keeps to his campaign promises while protecting their rights.

Ripple CEO Says He Welcomes an XRP ETF – “It’s Inevitable”

Ripple CEO Says He Welcomes an XRP ETF – “It’s Inevitable”

The Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently disclosed that he would welcome the idea of a spot-based XRP ETF, declaring that the launch of the investment product is inevitable.

Garlinghouse made these comments while speaking in a recent interview with Bloomberg’s Kailey Leinz. The Ripple CEO discussed the current state of the cryptocurrency landscape in the United States, as well as the regulatory environment within the industry.

Ripple CEO Would Welcome an XRP ETF

Addressing the possibility of a spot XRP ETF in the U.S., Garlinghouse expressed openness to the concept and welcomed the prospect of its launch.

This comes amid ongoing discussions centered around the potential launch of a spot XRP or Ethereum ETF following the introduction of the Bitcoin-based products.

While Ethereum ETF products have gained more traction, with asset managers like BlackRock, 21Shares, and Ark Invest filing for approval from the U.S. SEC, the fate of XRP-based ETFs remains uncertain.

Despite several filings, regulatory decisions for Ethereum ETFs are currently pending, with delays contributing to the ongoing anticipation in the market.

Meanwhile, the prospect of an XRP ETF in the U.S. was briefly glimpsed when an alleged filing supposedly from BlackRock surfaced on the Delaware ICIS last year. However, BlackRock promptly refuted the legitimacy of the filing, categorizing it as a fake.

Despite the absence of official filings from asset managers for an XRP ETF, Garlinghouse believes that introducing such a product is “inevitable.” Essentially, he expects the crypto industry to witness the launch of ETFs based on multiple assets.

In his words:

“We would certainly welcome it. I think it’s inevitable that there will be multiple ETFs around different tokens. You’ll even see ETFs potentially around baskets that also further diversify that risk.”

Garlinghouse’s comments emphasize his conviction that traditional asset managers would delve further into the cryptocurrency landscape as the industry matures. He sees the emergence of numerous ETFs on various assets, with XRP being among the highlighted candidates.

The Possibility of a Launch

Based on this conviction, Leinz asked the Ripple CEO if he is currently holding discussions with some of the largest asset managers, such as BlackRock, to see if there is a potential launch of an XRP ETF. Garlinghouse refrained from providing a direct answer, mentioning that BlackRock had made some comments publicly.

Interestingly, BlackRock’s CEO Fink also took a similar route when asked about the possibility of the launch of an XRP ETF. Speaking to Fox Business’ Charles Gasparino last month, Fink noted that he cannot discuss the subject on air, sparking curiosity among XRP proponents.

Speculation quickly emerged that Fink’s response could mean the asset manager might be looking to launch the product. However, in a subsequent disclosure, Gasparino revealed that BlackRock has no plans to launch the product.

In his recent Bloomberg interview, Garlinghouse emphasized that the launch of the XRP ETF would “make sense” to the XRP community. He called attention to the fact that XRP was the second-largest crypto asset before the SEC lawsuit, underscoring its prominence in the crypto industry.

According to the Ripple CEO, the long-term aim of these assets is to help solve real-world problems by creating utility. He acknowledged Bitcoin’s role as a store of value in solving real-world problems, stressing that XRP also provides real-world utility as a medium for fast and cheap transactions.

Expert Says XRP Could Reach $10 this Cycle; Pay Attention to XRP If You Want to Make Money

A prominent crypto analyst predicts profit opportunities from monitoring XRP closely, projecting a valuation of $10 within this cycle.

In a recent study of XRP, the analyst behind X account “CrediBULL Crypto” suggested that it is now a crucial time to monitor XRP closely for possible outperformance.

“If you like making money, it may be time to start paying attention to XRP,” the analyst proclaimed on X.

XRP Set to Outperform Bitcoin by 200%

The analyst delved into XRP’s price history, highlighting that XRP tends to surge aggressively once determined to do so. He noted that in past instances of such aggressive breakouts, XRP outperformed Bitcoin.

Specifically, he referenced the 2017/2018 periods. This was when XRP experienced explosive growth, soaring from $0.2326 on December 7, 2017, to an all-time high of $3.84 on January 4, 2018.

This remarkable surge amounted to a staggering 1,550% gain in under five weeks.

Meanwhile, historical data suggests that Bitcoin only moved from approximately $10,000 to $14,000 during the same period, representing a 40% gain.

Another cited instance where XRP outperformed Bitcoin during an aggressive rally was in 2014. According to CoinMarketCap, XRP traded at $0.005039 as of November 16, 2014. 

However, precisely 33 days later, XRP had surged by 455% to $0.02797. Meanwhile, within the same period, BTC saw a 170% gain from $417 to $1,128.

Essentially, the analyst argued that XRP’s price surges rapidly and aggressively, often becoming elusive once they begin. He suggested that signs of the signal are beginning to emerge, indicating a significant potential upside for XRP in the upcoming weeks.

In particular, he set his target on a potential 200% gain against Bitcoin.

Road to $10 This Season

Furthermore, the analyst indicated that the predicted two-fold increase for XRP is merely a minimum target. Should XRP surpass this minimum and breakthrough historical resistance levels, market participants can anticipate further upward expansion for XRP. 

While emphasizing that a 200% gain would serve as the ultimate confirmation for a similar 2017 rally, the analyst acknowledged the possibility of it not materializing. 

However, he mentioned that such a breakthrough would open the door to even higher highs, potentially resulting in another 600% gain against Bitcoin.

When asked if XRP can make it to $10 this bull season, the analyst responded affirmatively.

At press time, XRP trades at $0.5638. Whether the asset will outperform Bitcoin by 800% in the coming weeks remains to be seen.

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” Author Sees Bitcoin Price at $100K

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” Author Sees Bitcoin Price at $100K

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” Author Robert Kiyosaki has issued a major price target for Bitcoin (BTC), projecting a $100K price by the middle of the year.

Known as a major advocate of Bitcoin, Robert Kiyosaki recently revealed on X that the price of Bitcoin is poised to touch $100,000 by June this year. This forecast is the latest prediction from the iconic author, whose target for Bitcoin has changed in different ways over the past few months.

For the price of Bitcoin to surge toward the $100,000 price mark, it will have to grow as high as 92.2% from its current level of $52,013. High as this target is, the “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author is convinced his forecast is imminent.

Bitcoin as Hedge Against Inflation

One of the most important arguments often tendered by Robert Kiyosaki in support of Bitcoin’s growth potential is the coin’s immunity against macro-economic uncertainties.

Kiyosaki has always been calling attention to the impending stock market, banking and broader global crisis.

He often advises his millions of followers to take cover in assets that have provably sustainable fundamentals. While he advocates for real estate, gold, and silver, Bitcoin also features prominently on his list of preferred assets.

The advocacy for Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation also stems from the coin’s 21,000,000 tokens supply cap. This capped supply is further complemented by the deflationary model adopted in its emissions through the halving event. 

This halving leads to a 50% slash in the rate of Bitcoin emissions through mining, further creating a supply shock that can lead to an increase in price if the market sustains demand.

Spot Bitcoin ETF Influence

Since the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the spot Bitcoin ETF offering from BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Grayscale Investments and others, there has been an intensive accumulation of the top cryptocurrency.

This demand channel and the reduced supply have contributed to the confidence in Robert Kiyosaki’s forecast, which is generally more modest than other projections which run as high as $200,000 before the April halving event.

Cardano Founder Reacts as Reddit Removes Positive ADA News Twice in One Week 

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has reacted to reports about Reddit moderators removing positive ADA news for the second time in one week.   

Hoskinson reacted to the latest events on Reddit that led to the removal of positive ADA-related posts on the platform. 

Positive ADA News Removed From Reddit 

For context, ADA stake pool operator “Pride” shared the development on X over the weekend, stating that Reddit moderators have taken down another positive Cardano post for the second time in one week. 

The post centers on speculation about ADA’s performance in the upcoming bull run. With many investors optimistic about ADA, they speculated that the coin could rally above $3 during the peak of the bull market. 

Other users also commended the Cardano team for making “slow and steady” progress that could be instrumental in the upcoming bull market.  

Shortly after the post went live, the cryptocurrency subreddit moderators removed it, citing a violation of its “content standard” rules. Consequently, “Pride” called the attention of ADA enthusiasts to the development.

Cardano Founder Reacts 

As expected, several ADA proponents took to the comment section to air their grievances, with Cardano founder also reacting to the incident. 

Notably, Hoskinson reacted using a colloquial expression, saying, “They hate us because they ain’t us.”

Apparently, Hoskinson’s tweet suggests that the Reddit moderators who removed the Cardano posts could have done so out of jealousy. Hoskinson has always criticized some crypto media outlets for being unfair to the Cardano project. 

Per Hoskinson, these media outlets amplify negative reports about Cardano while refusing to maintain the same energy against other crypto projects. 

In October, Hosksinson called out mainstream media for portraying FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s wrongdoings as a mistake. 

It is worth noting that SBF was convicted in the U.S. for misappropriating customers’ funds, leading to the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange. 

ADA Sees Favorable Predictions Ahead of Bull Run

ADA has continued to receive favorable predictions ahead of the bull market. As reported yesterday, PRIDE speculated that the Cardano Treasury could surge to a whopping $4.5 billion if ADA reclaims its all-time high above $3. 

Furthermore, the research team from Changelly also predicts that ADA could trade between $56.9 and $68.4 by 2040. 

Meanwhile, ADA ranks as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $22.31 billion. The token was changing hands at $0.62 in the hours leading up to press time, marking a 16.67% increase in the past seven days.

Here are the Bitcoin Addresses in Loss After Spending $25 Billion to Buy BTC at $52,125

On-chain data shows the distribution of addresses holding Bitcoin at a loss after spending an estimated $25 billion to enter the market at $52,125.

Market watcher Lookonchain has called attention to a significant selling pressure that the crypto market may experience soon amid the percentage of addresses holding Bitcoin at a loss.

$25B Bitcoin in Loss

In an update on X, Lookonchain pointed out that some 848,390 Bitcoin wallets joined the BTC market with an average purchase price of $52,125. The platform cited data from the reputable market intelligence resource IntoTheBlock.

Per the statistics, the 848.39K BTC wallets collectively spent a staggering $25 billion to acquire approximately 481,710 BTC at that price point.

However, Bitcoin has encountered resistance since breaking the $52k, struggling to reclaim a new territory. Effectively, the addresses that acquired Bitcoin around $52k have been shouldering losses as BTC trades below the price point.

Lookonchain has speculated that the 848,390 BTC wallets, which invested over $25 billion in Bitcoin, may exert selling pressure once their positions reach breakeven.

Community Disagrees 

However, crypto market participants have challenged Lookonchain’s claim that the addresses could generate selling pressure. They find the analysis mysterious. Specifically, they question why those holders would opt to sell at breakeven instead of aiming for profit.

Furthermore, another commentator who voiced disagreement pondered why anyone purchasing BTC presently would settle for a mere 3% profit.

This commenter grounded his view in the fact that Bitcoin halving is approaching this year. Moreover, he pointed out that BTC-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are experiencing record inflows.

Bitcoin Addresses in Profit

Meanwhile, closer scrutiny of IntoTheBlock’s data regarding the 848,390 BTC wallets revealed subtle details.

Per the record, the minimum entry point among the addresses in question was $51,773, while the maximum entry was $53,323. This suggests the presence of long-term holders within this range since BTC last reached $53k two years ago.

Essentially, the 848,390 addresses may not represent the traders who recently entered Bitcoin following the surge past $50,000. 

Additionally, IntoTheBlock statistics indicate that there are currently 2.45 million wallets holding Bitcoin at a loss, accounting for 36.67% of BTC holders. In contrast, over 4.2 million BTC holders are profitable, reflecting 62.91%.

At press time, Bitcoin trades at $52,013, having reached a height of $52,850 in the last 24 hours.
