Crowd Shouts XRP as American Rapper Tells Crowd It’s Not Too Late to Buy Crypto

American hip hop artist Big Sean told his audience in a recent performance that it’s not too late to invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP.

Born Sean Michael Leonard Anderson, the Detroit-born rapper made headlines at the “Unlock The Block” event on Friday, Aug. 22, 2025, when he urged attendees to invest in cryptocurrency without hesitation. 

Big Sean Promotes Crypto 

The free block party, organized by Stand With Crypto, combined live music with crypto awareness, drawing a vibrant crowd that responded cheerfully to the artist’s remarks.

On stage, Big Sean told the audience that it was not too late to get into the crypto market, encouraging them to buy digital assets immediately rather than waiting. He stressed that those who put money into cryptocurrencies right away would likely see returns. 

He specifically mentioned Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. The artist admitted he did not possess any insider information but strongly believed prices were poised to rise despite expressing a level of uncertainty. 

Growing Retail Interest Around XRP

Interestingly, as he spoke, the crowd repeatedly shouted “XRP,” indicating the retail excitement surrounding the XRP token. Notably, this energy confirmed the growing cultural relevance of XRP, which continues to enjoy grassroots support despite wider market volatility.

That same resilience has captured the attention of major voices in the financial sector. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz has repeatedly said that XRP remains relevant because of its loyal and expanding community, which he noted has stood the test of time through both bull and bear markets. 

Similarly, Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, said recently that he has now seen why they call the community the “XRP Army,” pointing to the overwhelming demand his firm has witnessed for the XXRP leveraged ETF. 

Meanwhile, Big Sean’s comments in Detroit are not the first time he has publicly connected himself to crypto culture. Back in 2018, he referenced cryptocurrencies in his verse on YG’s hit song Big Bank, where he rapped about purchasing luxury goods with digital coins and even used crypto as a metaphor for paying tuition. 

Later, on Sada Baby’s track Little While, he boasted about gifting someone a Robinhood account loaded with $30,000 worth of Dogecoin. 

Trend of Celebrity Endorsements

Other celebrities have also ventured into crypto in recent years. For instance, Eminem partnered with Crypto.com in an ad campaign that went viral on social media in April 2024. 

Also, Lindsay Lohan became a familiar face in the sector after multiple promotional appearances in 2023, which eventually led to regulatory scrutiny and SEC charges for illegal promotion. 

In 2021, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen took equity stakes in the now-defunct FTX, while Brady also co-founded the NFT platform Autograph. Within the same year, Matt Damon became the face of a Crypto.com commercial.

Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg has been one of the longest-standing celebrity figures in crypto, choosing to accept Bitcoin for music releases as far back as 2013. He also promoted Dogecoin and launched NFT collections. 

Soccer stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have also pushed blockchain adoption, with Ronaldo receiving 770 fan tokens from Juventus in 2021 and Messi accepting PSG Fan Tokens as part of his signing deal in 2022.

Analyst Says XRP Breakout Against Bitcoin Will Be ‘Obvious in Hindsight’

XRP has been attempting to show significant strength against Bitcoin (BTC), and analysts believe this momentum could soon become more pronounced.

According to CrediBULL Crypto, the current XRP/BTC structure is one that traders will likely look back on as an “obvious” accumulation zone they missed.

XRP/BTC in the Battlefield

In a tweet, CrediBULL shared the XRP/BTC chart on the four-hour time frame, showing the pair trading around 0.000026. This came after a retracement from its late 2024 peak, when XRP touched 0.00003421 BTC.

After months of decline—marked by Bitcoin’s outperformance over XRP—the market is stabilizing after finding support near 0.00001938 BTC. The downtrend reversed in July, and since then, XRP has staged a comeback against Bitcoin. However, the battle has been tough, as Bitcoin has not backed down.

Notably, according to CrediBULL’s chart, the XRP/BTC pair reached 0.00003067 again in late July, coinciding with XRP hitting $3.66 that month. While XRP’s uptrend stalled again, Bitcoin slightly took over, reaching a new peak above $124,000 in August. This was followed by an ongoing pullback, while XRP has yet to make significant progress.

CrediBULL’s chart suggests that the recent price action in XRP/BTC resembles an inverse head and shoulders pattern, which is a traditional bullish signal.

Resistance for XRP

On the upside, XRP faces resistance near 0.00003067 BTC and 0.00003421 BTC. A decisive breakout above these levels will pave the way toward 0.00003998 BTC, which will be a significant move in favor of XRP relative to Bitcoin.

Assuming this breakout occurs while Bitcoin remains at approximately $111,000, the 0.00003998 BTC rate would translate to an XRP price of $4.47 in dollar terms. This would mark a new milestone for XRP after eight years of trading below $3.84.

“In Hindsight, It Will Be Obvious”

CrediBULL Crypto emphasized that the current price action may not seem convincing to traders, but once the full breakout plays out, it will appear clear in retrospect. The analyst suggests that this phase represents an opportunity to position early, ahead of market recognition.

XRP Can Reach $32

Other analysts have shared a similar outlook. For instance, Bitcoin analyst Dr. Cat predicts XRP could hit $32 during this bull cycle, assuming Bitcoin doubles to $270K. His forecast is based on XRP/BTC reaching 12,000 satoshis, levels last seen in 2017–2018. Currently, XRP is at 2,638 satoshis, or 0.00002639 BTC.

In other words, attaining the projected level would mark a return to XRP’s historical peak, with the move likely occurring by 2026. Dr. Cat gives XRP an 85% chance of reaching $9 even if Bitcoin falls short of $270K, though he did not share a revised upper target.

VanEck CEO Calls Ethereum the “Wall Street Token” Amid Growing Stablecoin Use Case

VanEck CEO Calls Ethereum the “Wall Street Token” Amid Growing Stablecoin Use Case

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck has a new name for Ethereum amid escalating adoption among financial institutions following its use case for stablecoins.

Van Eck called Ethereum the “Wall Street token” in a Wednesday interview at FOX Business, citing its massive adoption in the financial scene. He highlighted that with the growing use case for stablecoins, banks and other financial service providers would be drawn to Ethereum, increasing its utility.

Meanwhile, the bullish comments followed an Ethereum resurgence, which saw a charge from April’s lows of around $2,300 to a new all-time high of $4,953 earlier this week. The quick turnaround comes from several bullish factors, including the passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill and an incessant inflow from US Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds.

Ethereum: The Winner in New Stablecoin Buzz

Notably, stablecoins gave Wall Street its “ChatGPT moment,” according to Bitmine chairman Tom Lee, creating FOMO among major financial institutions. Van Eck noted that banks would eventually have to adopt blockchain technology to capture the stablecoin narrative or risk losing out.

The winner of this widespread adoption is Ethereum, according to the VanEck CEO. He told FOX Business that banks would have to build on the Ethereum network or any chain that “uses Ethereum-kind of methodology.”

Meanwhile, the escalating buzz around Ethereum builds on the new stablecoin legislation, which Donald Trump signed into law last month. It legitimized dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies in the United States, encouraging mainstream utility.

Furthermore, Ethereum’s dominance in the stablecoin sector places it as a major benefactor of the growing interest. The network controls over 50% of the $280 billion stablecoin market, tipped to grow to trillions of dollars in a few years.

Ethereum ETF Inflows Further Fuel Bullish Narrative

Notably, inflows into the Ethereum spot ETFs have been massive in the past weeks, further highlighting increased demand for the altcoin leader. The traction continued yesterday, with the US spot ETFs attracting $307.20 million, marking their fifth consecutive day of inflow.

During this period, the funds have recorded a cumulative inflow of $1.83 billion, surpassing that of the US Bitcoin spot ETFs by a significant margin. For context, the BTC-focused funds are on a three-day inflow streak, bringing in $388.45 million. This means that Ether ETFs have attracted over three times more than Bitcoin ETFs did in the last three trading days.

With the strong inflows, in addition to the accumulation spree of Ethereum treasury companies, analysts expect Ethereum to continue its rise to new all-time highs. Tom Lee predicted that Ether would trade at $16,000 in the near future.

Ripple’s Tazapay Deal Is a Backdoor Strategy to Convert XRP Liquidity into Local Payouts, Pundit Says

Ripple’s Tazapay Deal Is a Backdoor Strategy to Convert XRP Liquidity into Local Payouts, Pundit Says

A popular community figure suggests Ripple’s recent investment in Tazapay is a strategic backdoor move aimed at turning XRP liquidity into local payouts. 

This week, Ripple made headlines following its participation in Singapore-based payment company Tazapay’s funding round. Per a recent press release, Ripple and other notable investors, including Circle Ventures, participated in Tazapay’s Series B funding round, which raised an undisclosed amount. 

Importance of the Deal 

Following the close of Tazapay’s Series B funding round, XRP community figure Stern Drew suggested that Ripple’s investment in the company is strategic. 

According to Stern, Tazapay is not a crypto native platform but a “bank-facing regulated payment network”. He emphasized that the payment company processes $10 billion annually across more than 70 markets. Like Ripple, Tazapay holds multiple licenses and is experiencing rapid growth. 

Stern claimed Tazapay offers virtual bank accounts, local collections and payouts, as well as fiat-to-stablecoin settlement rails. Based on Tazapay’s offerings, Stern indicated that the company is a perfect fit for Ripple. 

Strategic Backdoor Move?

Furthermore, Stern claimed that despite having strong technology, Ripple has historically struggled with converting XRP liquidity into local payouts in several markets, such as Lagos in Nigeria and Jakarta in Indonesia. 

Notably, he claims Ripple’s investment in Tazapay addresses this challenge. With the investment, Ripple would gain access to regulated banking corridors globally, according to him. 

He cited comments from Ripple’s SVP Corporate and Business Development Eric Jeck, who referred to Tazapay as a leader in compliant corridors. Stern said Eric’s statement implies that Ripple will leverage Tazapay to integrate XRP into licensed settlement rails.   

By investing in Tazapay, the community figure stated that Ripple is expanding its reach in major regions, including Japan, the UAE, Singapore, and the United States. These regions are all strategic financial hubs that could give Ripple a wider footprint. 

“SWIFT Is Being Rendered Irrelevant”

Furthermore, Stern claimed Circle’s involvement in Tazapay’s latest funding round is also strategic, emphasizing that the payments company is building a dual liquidity grid, comprising USDC stablecoin and XRP. 

In his view, this innovative liquidity grid renders SWIFT irrelevant. Rather than challenging SWIFT directly, he suggested that Ripple is embedding its fintech solutions into firms like Tazapay to build parallel payment corridors that could quietly transition global transactions onto XRP rails.

XRP From $3 to $1,000, EasyA Founder Explains the Roadmap

Despite XRP trading at a modest price level today, ambitious long-term price forecasts continue to emerge.

In a recent discussion, Dom Kwok, Co-founder of EasyA, outlined how XRP could eventually scale to four figures. He pointed to a combination of the SWIFT model, institutional adoption, stablecoin payments, and retail entry as key drivers behind XRP’s potential to reach a $1,000 price point from the current XRP price of around $3.

 

Use Cases Beyond the SWIFT Model

Kwok noted that XRP’s price thesis is not based on a single factor, but rather a combination of major catalysts. While a shift away from the traditional SWIFT model for cross-border payments is significant, he stressed that the adoption of real-world use cases will be the defining force.

Organizations and individuals already move billions of dollars internationally for business payments, remittances, and charitable causes. According to Kwok, once they route these flows through the XRP Ledger at scale, activity on the network could multiply many times over.

Retail Investors and the Nvidia Parallel

Furthermore, Kwok drew a parallel with Nvidia’s rise during the artificial intelligence boom, where retail investors saw the company as the best way to gain exposure. Similarly, he suggested XRP could benefit from a wave of new entrants. He expects this to come from the 93% of people who don’t yet own crypto but recognize its role in payments and settlement.

In other words, Kwok expects that retail participation, combined with institutional flows, could create powerful upward pressure on prices.

ETFs and Professional Money Managers

Another factor Kwok sees driving XRP’s future valuation is the entry of professional money managers. With the expansion of crypto ETFs, he believes top-tier assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP will benefit first.

Fund managers often avoid speculative, lower-cap tokens. This means capital is more likely to flow into the highest-volume and most established cryptocurrencies.

Kwok believes this dynamic could further solidify XRP’s position in the top five, setting the stage for long-term exponential growth.

XRP to $1,000

At $3.01 today, XRP remains far from Kwok’s $1,000 target, but his reasoning highlights the bullish case made by long-term supporters. Specifically, XRP would need to soar by 33,233% to reach that level.

Notably, Kwok first presented this bold outlook in a July interview with the NYSE. The EasyA founder stated that XRP could reach $1,000 by 2030.

He highlighted EasyA’s partnership with Ripple to onboard over 1 million developers to the XRPL and pointed to Ripple’s strategic initiatives, including global licenses and the RLUSD stablecoin, as key steps toward institutional adoption. He also cited Ripple’s acquisition of prime broker Hidden Road as evidence of XRP’s real-world utility in finance.

Kwok emphasized that XRP, unlike Ethereum, hasn’t had its breakout DeFi moment yet but could surge once it does. Despite an underdeveloped DeFi ecosystem, XRP’s market cap has already reached as high as $210 billion, indicating strong potential.

Meanwhile, his view that XRP could reach $1,000 has been keenly contested. Critics argue that such a valuation would make XRP more valuable than the entire stock market. However, Kwok maintains that this potential outcome doesn’t invalidate XRP’s ability to reach that milestone.

XRP Killer? Google to Launch GCUL Chain Targeting Financial Institutions

XRP Killer? Google to Launch GCUL Chain Targeting Financial Institutions

Google is preparing to launch its new blockchain, GCUL, and some in the industry already describe it as a possible rival to the XRP Ledger (XRPL). 

The project, called Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL), is still in private testing, but Google plans a commercial launch in 2026. Notably, due to some similarities with XRP’s technology for payments and settlement, speculation has emerged that it could challenge XRP’s role in the financial sector.

Features of Google’s GCUL Blockchain

For context, GCUL is a layer-1 blockchain built for banks, financial institutions, and large enterprises. Instead of trying to replace traditional money, Google designed it to complement existing financial systems by presenting faster settlement, asset tokenization, and compliance tools. 

Google first unveiled the project in March, but Rich Widmann, Google’s Head of Strategy on Web3, revealed some important details of the project in a recent LinkedIn disclosure.

One of GCUL’s important features is the use of Python for smart contracts. While most blockchains rely on languages like Solidity or Rust, Google chose Python because it is already the go-to language in finance, data science, and machine learning. 

Google also designed the ledger to remain neutral. Unlike blockchains from direct financial competitors, GCUL does not belong to any single institution. Notably, this makes it easier for payment providers, banks, or fintechs to adopt it without worrying about aligning themselves with a rival. 

Meanwhile, GCUL also handles costs differently. For context, the platform uses stable, monthly invoices instead of charging fluctuating gas fees.

In terms of regulation and compliance, GCUL operates as a permissioned network, complete with built-in KYC, audit trails, and regulatory safeguards. While Google may open it further as rules evolve, its first version focuses on meeting the strict demands of global finance.

Partnership with CME

Interestingly, Google already has a major partner exploring the platform. Specifically, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME Group), one of the largest derivatives markets in the world, is testing tokenization and wholesale payments on GCUL. 

GCUL also ties directly into Google Cloud’s broader ecosystem by connecting with services like BigQuery, Looker, and Vertex AI. As a result, institutions can track transactions in real time, automate fraud checks, and use AI tools to strengthen compliance and efficiency. 

The platform even supports tokenized versions of commercial bank money, backed by regulated assets such as deposits or money market funds, presenting institutions with an alternative to stablecoins.

Comparisons with XRP Ledger

Notably, GCUL focuses primarily on payments, settlements, and tokenization, leading to recent comparisons with the XRPL. For instance, a report by Protos highlighted how GCUL’s features, which include global payments, fast settlement, programmable tokenization, and transaction fees, mirror much of what Ripple has promoted with the XRPL for years. 

The report also noted that CME has never carried out tokenization projects on XRP’s network, making its partnership with Google an important development.

Protos pointed out Alphabet’s size with a valuation of over $2.5 trillion. Notably, Alphabet dwarfs Ripple and the XRP ecosystem in resources and influence. For that reason, some now believe GCUL could threaten XRP’s standing in institutional blockchain adoption.

Despite this, GCUL remains in testing, while XRP already has years of proven activity in real-world payments. Whether Google’s blockchain becomes a true challenger will depend on how banks and financial players react once the platform officially launches in 2026.

This is one of several comparisons XRP has faced in recent times. For instance, Chainlink proponents have consistently suggested that LINK delivers more on what XRP promises, claiming LINK could flip XRP. 

Cardano Founder Shares New Timeline for Bitcoin to Reach $10 Trillion Marketcap

Cardano Founder Shares New Timeline for Bitcoin to Reach $10 Trillion Marketcap

The Cardano founder, Charles Hoskinson, has projected a bullish new timeline for Bitcoin to reach a $10 trillion market cap.

Notably, he shared this update in a recent interview with popular pundit David Lin on Wednesday. The former Ethereum co-founder looked beyond the recent price volatility, predicting a bullish outlook for Bitcoin in the next half-decade.

Here’s Hoskinson’s Bitcoin Price Prediction

When host Lin asked about his Bitcoin price outlook, Hoskinson predicted that the premier crypto asset would reach a $10 trillion market cap in the next five years. Notably, the ambitious target will place BTC as the second most valuable asset globally, behind gold.

For perspective, it ranks 7th on the list with its current valuation of $2.24 trillion. If it attains this notable market cap milestone, it will surpass assets like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and NVIDIA to become the second-largest asset, second only to gold.

Meanwhile, the $10 trillion valuation would take Bitcoin’s price to unprecedented levels. Assuming a circulating supply of 20 million BTC, this would culminate in a price of $500,000 per coin. From the current market price of $112,910, this represents a 342.8% growth.

Interestingly, other notable industry leaders have a similar price outlook for Bitcoin but with different timeframes. For context, Binance’s CZ predicted that BTC would reach the target as early as this bull cycle. Meanwhile, Standard Chartered expects the price in the next three years.

Catalyst for the $10T Bitcoin Prediction

Hoskinson claimed that Bitcoin DeFi would drive this surge in valuation. He predicted that bridging smart contract functionalities to the Bitcoin network, as Cardano seeks to do, will foster utility and adoption.

Notably, Bitcoin does not have native decentralized finance functions, and Hoskinson has committed to giving users a taste of this. He had disclosed several times that the Cardano ecosystem team is working tirelessly to enable Bitcoin users to put their holdings to work, generating yields for them.

Furthermore, the Cardano founder shared that the crypto adoption tailwind in the United States, alongside massive accumulation from digital asset treasury firms, would also catalyze Bitcoin growth.

“The DATs have brought retail; sovereign wealth funds are buying Bitcoin,” Hoskinson highlighted. “The US government holds 212,000 Bitcoin; it’s pretty crazy when you see it,” he added.

Cardano Founder Insists on $250,000 in This Bull Market

Meanwhile, Hoskinson insisted that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by the end of this bull cycle. This builds on his earlier predictions, where he tapped user growth and stablecoin legislation to drive this uptick.

Notably, the price target also aligns with those of other crypto analysts, such as EliteOption Trader and Greg O’Gallagher, who predicted that Bitcoin would reach the new price milestone this year.

XRP Spot ETF Will Bring the BIGGEST Inflows in All of Crypto: Expert

XRP Spot ETF Will Bring the BIGGEST Inflows in All of Crypto: Expert

Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA, emphasizes that XRP ETFs could surpass other crypto-related exchange-traded funds in terms of inflows. 

As multiple spot XRP ETF applications approach their final decision deadlines, Kwok has made bold claims about the potential of the investment product. 

XRP ETFs Could Be the Biggest in Crypto 

During an interview on the Paul Barron Network (PBN) podcast, Kwok suggested that if the U.S. SEC approves the XRP ETFs, they could attract the largest inflows of any other crypto ETFs. His reasoning is based on XRP’s global holder base, which he believes is among the largest in the crypto industry. 

He also mentions that XRP has consistently ranked among the most traded cryptocurrencies on Coinbase and other global exchanges. Notably, Kwok backed his views by referencing a recent Coinbase report that showed XRP as the second-largest asset by trading volume, after Bitcoin.

Consequently, he argued that, given XRP’s popularity and market activity, regulated ETFs tied to the token could attract the largest inflows of any other crypto assets, potentially making it the biggest crypto ETF yet. 

Factors Indicating Strong Demand for XRP ETFs 

Indeed, XRP remains among the most actively traded cryptocurrencies in the market. Its daily trading volume sits at $6.6 billion, with nearly $6.5 billion of that coming from centralized exchanges. 

Given XRP’s massive volume, some experts believe that demand for spot XRP ETFs could surge if the SEC approves them. Another factor fueling this belief is the cryptocurrency’s recent milestone on the CME. 

As previously reported, XRP made history on CME after it became the fastest cryptocurrency to hit an open interest of $1 billion. This comes just three months after XRP futures contracts made their debut on the leading derivatives marketplace. 

The rapid success of CME’s XRP futures is seen as proof of a growing institutional appetite for the token. Amid this, Kwok expresses that XRP could attract the largest inflows and eventually become the biggest crypto ETF.  

Current Performance of Crypto ETFs 

For context, Bitcoin and Ethereum are currently the only cryptocurrencies with standalone ETFs in the United States. While Bitcoin ETFs have attracted a total of $54.16 billion in inflows, Ethereum ETFs have garnered $13.65 billion. 

Several asset managers, including Canary, Grayscale, and Bitwise, are vying to launch other spot crypto ETFs in the U.S., with 11 of them focused on XRP. The SEC will issue its final decision on some XRP ETF applications in October. 

Data from Polymarket indicates that XRP has an 84% chance of being approved for an ETF by the end of this year. Meanwhile, whether the product will outperform other crypto ETFs in terms of inflows remains to be seen.

Here Are XRP ‘Hit, Miss, or Over Shoot’ Price Targets

Here Are XRP ‘Hit, Miss, or Over Shoot’ Price Targets

A market analyst suggests XRP could rally to one of three different bullish targets depending on whether it “hits, misses or overshoots” an important regression line.

Currently, XRP continues to battle for the $3 mark amid prevailing market uncertainties. While most traders anticipate the next move, one analyst has presented a commentary that points to potential price targets at $18, $27, or even as high as $200.

The Regression Line

Analyst EGRAG based his forecast on linear regression analysis on a logarithmic scale. According to him, XRP’s target for the forthcoming bullish push would depend on whether it hits the upper regression line, misses it, or overshoots above the line.

Notably, his analysis leverages the R-squared value of the regression model, which measures how closely the data fits the regression line. 

EGRAG noted that the current R-squared value stands at 0.84754. This means the model explains roughly 84.75% of the variance in XRP’s movement, suggesting a highly reliable fit between historical data and the projection. He explained that values closer to 1 represent a stronger correlation, while 0 means no correlation at all.

Historical XRP Interactions with the Regression Line 

From this, the analyst moved to XRP’s technical history. He observed that XRP has touched the upper boundary of the regression channel three different times. Specifically, the first instance came in December 2013, when XRP climbed to $0.0614 at the height of that year’s bull run. 

Meanwhile, during the 2017/2018 cycle, XRP interacted with the line on multiple occasions. Notably, it first touched it in May 2017 when prices rose to $0.3988. After a six-month pause, XRP surged again in December 2017 and broke past the upper regression line by 570% when it hit $3.31 in January 2018. 

Following that peak, XRP corrected and later rallied once more, this time reaching $0.7644, again touching the line before the cycle ended. Essentially, in 2017/2018, XRP touched the line twice and shot above it by 570% once.

Historical XRP Interaction with the Regression Line EGRAG Crypto

Also, data from EGRAG’s chart shows that the 2020/2021 bull market played out differently. In April 2021, XRP attempted another push toward the regression line but fell short by 45%, topping out at $1.96. 

Market participants at the time pointed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s lawsuit against Ripple, which began in December 2020, as a factor that contributed to this disappointing performance. Notably, the lawsuit triggered selling pressure and forced American and Canadian exchanges to delist XRP.

XRP Could Reach $18, $27, or $200

Now, EGRAG has applied these lessons to the present market. As XRP currently trades around $2.98, close to the midpoint of the regression, it could follow one of three different scenarios from here.

If it successfully hits the regression line, the projection points toward $27. However, should it repeat the 45% shortfall from 2021 when it missed, the target drops to $18. On the other hand, if XRP manages another dramatic breakout like the 2017 overshoot, then a 570% extension could lift the price toward $200. This test could occur in September, per data from EGRAG’s chart.

The chart also highlights the 21-period exponential moving average. Historically, XRP has maintained trading action above this indicator during its major bull runs. At present, the 21 EMA sits at $1.71, with XRP comfortably positioned above it.

Investors Flock To XYZVerse (XYZ) For Promising Potential While ONDO & TAO Price Stagnates In Altseason

Investors Flock To XYZVerse (XYZ) For Promising Potential While ONDO & TAO Price Stagnates In Altseason

Rising excitement surrounds XYZVerse (XYZ), a new project drawing attention as traders search for fresh opportunities. While big names like ONDO and TAO see little action, newcomers are shifting focus. Questions now hang in the air about what sets XYZVerse apart and if it really can change the way meme tokens are seen.

Ondo Finance Brings Bonds to Blockchain

Ondo Finance is positioning itself at the intersection of traditional fixed income and digital assets, turning U.S. Treasuries into tokenized products designed for retail and institutional investors alike. The project splits its efforts between product development and technical infrastructure, with backing from established names: BlackRock manages the underlying bonds, while Coinbase provides custody.

Its main product, USDY, functions like a stablecoin but pays yield sourced from government securities. In contrast to rivals that rely on idle reserves or algorithmic stability mechanisms, USDY delivers income tied to prevailing interest rates. With benchmark yields still elevated, ONDO holders see direct benefits from that cash flow. For investors weary of volatile DeFi tokens and speculative meme coins, Ondo is marketing itself as a defensive play with regulatory guardrails.

TAO Positions as Currency for Collaborative AI

TAO, the native token of the Bittensor network, aims to become the payment layer for decentralized artificial intelligence. The network coordinates contributions from multiple machine-learning models, rewarding those whose outputs add value. Users and developers can pay for access to the network’s collective intelligence in TAO, while contributors earn the token for participating.

Unlike AI-linked tokens that rely on broad narratives, TAO ties directly to computational work and demand for inference. Its supply is fixed, while usage creates ongoing token sinks. Advocates compare its role to Bitcoin in money transfer or Ethereum in decentralized apps—positioning TAO as a system that directly “rewards thought.”

As large technology firms spend heavily on data and compute capacity, Bittensor leverages distributed hardware worldwide to deliver similar outputs, spreading earnings across participants. If investor appetite continues to shift toward tokens with functional utility over marketing-driven hype, TAO could broaden from niche positioning to a more mainstream allocation in digital-asset portfolios.

XYZVerse Presale Pulls In $15M as Sports-Meme Mashup Gains Steam

XYZVerse is making noise in crypto circles with its unusual pitch: mix the hype of meme coins with the passion of sports fandom. Aimed at football, basketball, MMA, and esports communities, the project is selling itself as a meeting ground for fans who want both entertainment and upside.

So far, the concept is catching on. The presale has already raised over $15 million, pushing the token closer to its upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE).  

Roadmap: From Launch to Listings

The team is laying out a growth plan that stretches well beyond the presale:

  • Token Generation Event (TGE): Once the presale ends, $XYZ tokens will go live, backed by a heavy marketing push.
  • Exchange Listings: CEX and DEX listings are planned soon after TGE, designed to give $XYZ broader liquidity.
  • Deflationary Burn: Over 17.13% of supply is set to be burned over time, tightening circulation and potentially lifting demand.
  • Sports Partnerships: Talks with sports groups and influencers aim to expand reach and strengthen brand credibility

Why It’s Gaining Traction

XYZVerse isn’t just leaning on memes—it’s tying in tokenomics, clear milestones, and one of the larger airdrop allocations in the space. That mix has drawn in a growing investor base looking for more than quick-flip hype.

Join XYZVerse, the Next Moonshot Opportunity

Conclusion

ONDO and TAO remain solid, but XYZVerse, the first all-sport memecoin, fuses sports passion with meme culture, targets 50x gains, offers early, community-driven entry, and leads the 2025 bull run.
