Cardano has broken a long-term descending trendline, with analyst Dan Gambardello noting its risk score has returned to the same level as December 2020, when ADA began its last major rally.
In a video analysis, Gambardello noted that the setup now mirrors that of the earlier period as ADA crossed the $1 mark. As of this press time, Cardano trades at $1.01, an 18.4% surge in the past day, increasing its rally to 35% in the past week.
Cardano’s Current Set-up
A chart shown in the video places ADA above a descending trendline that capped rallies through 2023–2024. Notably, the price sits just below a wide, marked supply zone around $1.
Cardano’s price action
The chart also shows ADA trading above the 50 MA and 200 MA, signaling improving momentum at this timeframe. Gambardello said he was watching for the trendline break and stated, “We did,” referring to the move above $0.532
He also noted that the current setup mirrors the 2020-2021 bulk cycle when Cardano traded below $0.154 in December 2020 before reaching an all-time high of $3.09 in September 2021.
Cardano’s Risk model echoes 2020, is $3 Underway?
Gambardello highlighted ADA’s current risk score of 44, the same as in December 2020. Then, the score climbed from the 40s to the 70s as prices advanced. He stressed the difference in starting points: $0.14 in 2020 versus $0.92 now, suggesting that this current price represents a starting point for Cardano’s bullish cycle.
Gambardello framed ADA as “at the very beginning of some type of move,” while acknowledging uncertainty, saying he could be wrong and that the downside is always considered.
He projected that ADA’s current structure could support a move through the $1 level, with potential to extend toward $3 and beyond. With ADA now trading above $1, Gambardello’s prediction may be underway. A move from this current price to $3 will see Cardano surging by 197%.
Notably, the analyst, in December 2024, predicted Cardano could hit $3 by January 10, 2025, or more cautiously by January 24, citing historical Q4-to-Q1 rally patterns from 2020–2021. While this failed to materialize, his recent forecast aligns with other analysts’ predictions.
Interestingly, analyst Deezy expects ADA to reach $3, noting that Cardano has formed a “golden cross,” a bullish technical signal that occurs when the 50-day MA crosses above the 200-day MA. He noted that the last time this pattern appeared, ADA’s price surged 230%.
Analyst expects ADA at $3
Also, based on a recent bullish MACD crossover, analyst Christopher Visser expects Cardano to reach $3.91 in this bull cycle. He mentioned that Cardano’s recent crossover mirrors a past setup that led to a 62% rally.
Broader Market Context
Meanwhile, in his latest analysis, Gambardello pointed to broader signals that, in past cycles, preceded altcoin strength. He said Bitcoin dominance is down about 5% since May 16, while ETH/BTC is up roughly 56%. He cited momentum signals on the dominance chart and noted the dominance risk score is 60 now versus 90s during March 2021.
For Ethereum, he said it is near an all-time high with a risk score of 63, compared with about 80–83 in January 2021 ahead of its prior breakout.
Gambardello also highlighted several favorable factors for altcoins, including potential altcoin ETFs, pro-crypto legislation, and expected interest rate cuts. Institutional involvement, bolstered by spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approvals, has increased market stability compared to prior cycles.
Google Play Store has updated its policy for crypto and software wallets, but clarified that non-custodial wallets are not in the category.
For context, Google published a new guideline for crypto wallets in over 15 countries to abide by to ensure their continued presence on the Google Play Store. The updated policy, effective from October 29, would require exchanges, such as Coinbase and Binance, and software wallets to comply with local laws and obtain certain licenses or face a ban from publishing their applications.
Google Drops Ban On Non-Custodial Wallet
Meanwhile, Google clarified that non-custodial wallets are NOT in the category of its cryptocurrency exchanges and software wallets policy. It confirmed this in a tweet amid widespread backlash, adding that it was updating its help center to further ensure clarity.
Nonetheless, other trading and custody applications in several other jurisdictions would be affected by this new policy. Notably, developers in each country had different criteria, all aimed at ensuring that they meet industry standards amid the evolving crypto regulatory landscape.
For crypto exchanges and wallets in the US, the new policy expects that they register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), identifying themselves as money services businesses. Alternatively, they can obtain a license as a money transmitter from a state.
Also Google mandated that crypto app developers in the European Union must be crypto-asset service providers (CASP) certified under the new MiCA regime. The internet giant also requires adherence to any national-level requirements aside from MiCA. Notably, France and Germany-based crypto and software wallets have until June 30, 2026, and December 30, 2025, to abide by these rules.
Crypto wallet developers in the United Kingdom were only required to register with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Excerpt from Updated Google Policy
Google Play’s Policy History On Crypto Applications
Remarkably, Google Play has implemented severe measures against crypto applications in the past. It banned mining apps in 2018 and unpublished the Bitcoin Blast video game two years later.
Google also required non-fungible token (NFT) gamers to disclose their features to enter the Play Store in 2023 and mandated that they discontinue gambling on their applications.
Currently, crypto exchanges and software wallets, tokenized digital asset vendors, and NFT gamification applications are among the platforms that require special attention in the Google Play Store blockchain content page.
Lately, conversations comparing Chainlink and XRP have taken over parts of the crypto community. However, how high would LINK need to rise to surpass XRP?
Notably, Chainlink has been enjoying a new sense of optimism, while XRP’s sentiment has felt more cautious after weeks of trading around the $3 level.
XRP and Chainlink Comparisons Gain Steam
Amid this contrast in sentiments, several community figures have taken to comparing XRP with LINK. Market analyst Miles Deutscher suggested that Chainlink is one of the smarter plays this season. One of the reasons behind his sentiment is LINK’s adoption outlook in comparison with XRP.
For years, many believed that XRP was destined for institutional adoption.
I would argue that LINK, in many ways, has more traction in this sphere than XRP – and is a more logical bet (given the valuation), to capture upside to this narrative.
Specifically, Deutscher revealed that XRP’s DeFi total value locked is around $85 million, while Chainlink secures a massive $84.65 billion. This is more than 1,000 times the capital on-chain compared to XRP, and Chainlink’s market share in DeFi now sits at 68%.
Yet, despite this large gap, XRP’s market cap is still about 12.1 times larger. As a result of this, Deutscher believes LINK offers more value at its current price.
However, many traders argue these comparisons don’t make much sense because the two projects serve different purposes and can work together without stepping on each other’s toes.
Even so, the comparisons haven’t stopped, and several Chainlink supporters are confident LINK will eventually pass XRP, despite the two sitting far apart in market cap rankings.
How High Must Chainlink Climb to Surpass XRP?
Right now, XRP trades at $3.27, giving it a market cap of $194.17 billion with a circulating supply of 59.3 billion tokens. This makes it the third-largest cryptocurrency. On the other hand, Chainlink trades for $23.64 with a market cap of $16.025 billion and a circulating supply of 678.09 million tokens, placing it in 11th place.
Notably, for LINK to match XRP’s valuation, its market cap would need to jump by about 1,111% to hit $194.17 billion. If its supply stays close to 678.09 million, the price would have to reach roughly $286 per token.
Interestingly, hitting that milestone would smash its previous market cap record of $22.8 billion from May 2021 and set a new all-time high well above its prior peak of $53.02.
In the past week, LINK has pulled ahead of XRP in short-term gains, rising 40.67% compared to XRP’s 9.39% increase. However, looking at the bigger picture, XRP has had a stronger run.
Since January, XRP is up 56.38%, while LINK has risen 18.17%. Over the last year, XRP has surged 424% compared to LINK’s 82%. Despite this, Chainlink’s recent momentum has caught attention.
Recent Chainlink Momentum Boosting Sentiments
Analytics firm Santiment reported that Chainlink activity is heating up. It recorded 6,463 active addresses, the highest in eight months, and 4,624 whale transactions over $100,000, a seven-month high. The platform also noted that social sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with about 3.3 bullish comments for every bearish one, the most upbeat outlook since Feb. 1.
Chainlink Seeing Improving Metrics | Santiment
Recently, Chainlink community advocate Zach Rynes claimed that LINK has become what many people once thought XRP would be: a project working with the world’s biggest institutions to move onto blockchain.
He suggested that while many saw XRP as the “banker coin” that might replace Swift, Chainlink has actually been partnering with major financial players, including Swift itself, to bring blockchain and tokenized assets into real-world use.
Rynes admitted that the two projects don’t compete directly, with XRP being a blockchain and Chainlink acting as a bridge between blockchains and banks. However, he still claimed they share a similar narrative in people’s minds.
Meanwhile, XRP community commentator Alex Cobb suggested that there appears to be a strange mood around XRP. He pointed out that XRP is just under its all-time high and is the top-performing asset year-over-year in the top 100, yet many traders are bearish and think LINK will surpass it. To him, this shows the $3 level is now XRP’s new normal, as it could surge further from here.
Shiba Inu has broken out of a falling wedge pattern. An analyst identifies his ideal entry price, projecting a significant uptick in the near term if the current level holds.
In a post on X, market analyst Rich X Cult projects Shiba Inu to reach $0.00001471–$0.00001600 after breakingout of the falling wedge, a technical formation often associated with bullish reversals. Currently, SHIB trades at $0.00001405, marking a 2.6% gain over the past 24 hours and 14% in the last week.
Breakout Signals Potential Upside for Shiba Inu
The recent breakout comes after SHIB reversed from recent lows around $0.00001120 on August 3, according to the 4-hour chart. The move is supported by an overbought Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 83.57, suggesting strong momentum behind the rally.
Shiba Inu target
Trading volume over the past 24 hours reached approximately $340 million, indicating increased market participation. In addition, amid the upsurge, SHIB’s price has crossed above the 50-period moving average (MA).
Shiba Inu’s Support and Resistance Levels
Technical levels remain critical for SHIB’s near-term direction. The analyst identifies $0.00001242 as the immediate support level. He identified this as an ideal entry point for traders looking to buy pullbacks.
If this level holds, it could act as a springboard for another leg higher. Above the current price, the next resistance zone is between $0.00001471 and $0.00001600, representing a 13% increase from the current price. Clearing this range could signal further upside potential.
Interestingly, SHIB KNIGHT had earlier made a similar call, projecting a 32% rise to $0.000018. He pointed to a higher low formation on the chart, suggesting the recent rebound from a local low may signal building upward pressure.
Shib Knight predicts Shiba Inu move
Meanwhile, Rich X Cult noted that if the price closes below $0.00001242, downside risks increase, with the next target near $0.00001170. A drop to this level could shift sentiment back to neutral or bearish, especially if broader cryptocurrency market conditions weaken.
The analyst also mentioned the suggested trading plan, which involves entering on a pullback to $0.00001242 with a stop-loss placed just below this level. He also noted that with the RSI in overbought territory, short-term volatility is possible.
Other Analysts Predict Long-term Shiba Inu’s Rally
Crypto analyst Crypto Mullah believes Shiba Inu could stage a significant rally if it breaks out of a multi-month falling wedge pattern on the 3-day chart. The token has traded within this wedge since reaching $0.00003343 on Dec. 8, 2024, following a 49% surge in November during a broader market rally.
Attempts to break higher, including a July 21 move to $0.00001597, have failed to hold, keeping SHIB in the pattern. Mullah now projects that a breakout could trigger a move back to the December high, about 146.5% above the current price, potentially paving the way for further gains.
Interestingly, analyst Javon Marks had earlier made a similar projection after noting Shiba Inu confirming a bullish divergence on its two-day chart. He projects a potential climb of over 156% from the divergence confirmation level, targeting $0.000032.
The SpaceX Bitcoin holding has surpassed $1 billion following the cryptocurrency’s rally to a new record high.
Data from Arkham highlighted this, as SpaceX’s diamond hand continues to pay off. Following Bitcoin’s rally to a new all-time high of $124,457, the holding of a SpaceX-linked address swung to over a billion-dollar valuation.
SpaceX Bitcoin HODL Pays Off
For context, SpaceX holds a total of 8,285 BTC, acquired between December 31, 2020, and June 10, 2022. Notably, the company could have held more sats but moved 17,314 BTC to Coinbase Prime between May 25 and June 10, 2022.
Nonetheless, it has held onto the remaining assets since then, with Bitcoin appreciating from around $30,000 when SpaceX last bought or sold to its current price of $122,422. This over 300% growth has boosted the company’s portfolio to $1.02 billion at the time of writing.
SpaceX Bitcoin Holding/Arkham
Meanwhile, SpaceX’s last on-chain activity came three weeks ago when it moved 1,308 BTC ($150 million then) to a new address, “bc1q8.” However, the move proved to be a mere relocation, as it has not sold them to date.
Interestingly, another Musk-affiliated company, Tesla, still holds 11,509 BTC, worth over $1.4 billion, on its balance sheet, indicating the world’s richest man’s pro-innovation stance. Both firms were among the first publicly traded companies to hold Bitcoin, a practice that has recently gained traction.
The companies now hold a combined $2.42 billion, with Arkham disclosing that they were acquired at an average price of $32,000.
Bitcoin Climbs to New All-Time High
The portfolio has appreciated on the back of Bitcoin’s rally to a new all-time high earlier today, continuing to set new price records. It surpassed its previous $123,181 peak on Thursday, setting a new top of $124,457.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin has rebounded over 9% from its August 3 low of $111,982, rewarding those who bought the dip. Several analysts have also projected that this run would continue, predicting prices of $200,000 by the end of the year.
Ripple CTO David Schwartz embraces the growing trend of payments and stablecoin companies introducing their own blockchains.
In a lengthy post on X today, Schwartz acknowledged the influx of new stablecoin and payment companies launching their blockchain. He pointed out that the recent trend serves as proof that the broader market considers blockchain an integral part of financial infrastructure.
While many are just realizing the blockchain’s relevance in finance, Schwartz said Ripple has believed in this prospect for more than 13 years and has been building toward it on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) all along.
He stated that while it is challenging to launch a new blockchain, it is even more challenging to build an ecosystem with trust, liquidity, real-world usage, and developers. In his view, XRPL has gained traction and institutional adoption because of its long history of consistent updates and improvements.
Noticeable Difference Between XRPL and Most Blockchains
Schwartz pointed out that some blockchains rely on permissioned validators, which place control in the hands of a small group or a single entity. While this setup can facilitate compliance and centralized control, it also limits the network’s resilience and global reach.
On the contrary, he emphasized that XRPL is public and permissionless by default, which positions it as a core infrastructure for the world’s financial system. In addition, Schwartz revealed that the blockchain comes with optional permissioned features for regulated use cases.
Further, the Ripple CTO also highlighted some core features of XRPL, including the fact that it offers low and predictable fees.
Unlike most blockchains, Schwartz said XRPL does not have a separate gas token. According to him, users can pay for transactions using XRP, with the token also serving as a bridge asset for global payments.
Newer Chains Adopting Core XRPL Features
Moreover, he expressed excitement seeing newer chains adopt certain features inherent in XRPL, particularly its deterministic finality and Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism. He viewed this trend as evidence of growing alignment in the industry around the need for predictable, reliable settlement for financial use cases.
As a co-creator of XRPL, Schwartz expressed excitement for the network’s next phase of innovation. He expects future upgrades to enhance programmability, expand liquidity, and introduce compliance-grade capabilities for institutional use.
In the meantime, he welcomed new blockchain developers to “the party,” suggesting that the crypto industry is expanding rapidly.
Multiple market experts have presented varying timelines for XRP to rally to a new all-time high around the $7 psychological mark.
Notably, XRP has continued to trade within the $3 price range, currently changing hands at $3.32, which translates to a 59.43% increase year-to-date. However, many XRP latest price predictions say XRP is only consolidating now to build strength at $3, form proper support at this level, and then surge to greater heights.
Amid this anticipation, the $7 target has featured prominently, which requires a 110% increase from the current price. As a result, we recently assessed several timelines projected for XRP to reach this target.
Multiple analysts and market watchers have shared their outlook for when XRP could achieve the $7 milestone, with projections ranging from just weeks away to several years into the future.
Predicted Timelines for XRP to Reach $7
For instance, in July, media commentator Zach Rector set out his mid-to-long-term expectations, estimating that XRP could trade between $7.01 and $15.14. He identified a short-term window from August 23 to September 7 this year as a likely period for the asset to push into higher price levels.
Also, earlier in the year, digital asset manager Bitwise released a report outlining potential long-term scenarios. In its bull case, the firm predicted XRP could hit $6.25 by 2027 and then climb further to $7.91 in 2028.
Meanwhile, this month, market analyst Crypto Bitlord presented a more bullish outlook. As XRP staged a recovery earlier in the month, he argued that the rebound could be the start of a sharp move toward $7. This commentary insinuated that the timeline could rest well within the year.
However, analysts at the crypto trading platform Changelly are less bullish. Their projections indicate XRP could touch $7 in early 2027, with a maximum price of $7.04 in March of that year.
XRP Price Prediction | Changelly
Despite the less bullish stance from Changelly, researchers at Telegaon believe XRP could do better. Specifically, they expect XRP to not only reach $7 as early as 2026 but also surpass it, with their forecast placing the average price for that year at $7.53.

Google Gemini Predicts When XRP Could Hit $7
Meanwhile, we also consulted Google Gemini for a hypothetical timeline. In its response, Gemini said XRP is currently benefiting from bullish sentiment and outlined a three-phase scenario for a potential run to $7 during the current bull cycle.
It noted that the first phase could emerge between late August and early September, when a major catalyst, such as a regulatory breakthrough or major partnership, might push prices up to $4.50. In this stage, fear of missing out could drive retail investors into the market, pushing trading volumes higher.
XRP Initial Breakout | Google Gemini
Further, the second phase would likely play out between September and October, with XRP fluctuating between $4.50 and $5.50. This period would involve consolidation as some traders take profits, but the overall upward trend would hold firm.
XRP Mid Rally Consolidation | Google Gemini
Gemini then described the third phase as a parabolic move in November and December, triggered by favorable macroeconomic factors, a potential altcoin season, and rising institutional interest. In this stage, prices could surge from $5.50 to $7 or more in a matter of weeks, or even days, before stabilizing.
Veteran Bitcoin trader Tony Severino has shared a new update on XRP, warning that the current rally may be entering its final stage.
While the end of the bullish phase could be near, Severino described it as a “glorious finale”. In parallel, he urged traders to prepare their exit strategies now.
XRP Price Discovery in View, but Time Is Running Out
XRP has been attempting to enter full price discovery mode since breaking out of a multi-year symmetrical triangle that had capped gains since 2018. In July, XRP surged to $3.66, its highest level in nearly seven years, before retracing slightly. At press time, XRP is holding at $3.34.
Severino’s latest chart shows XRP’s Fisher Transform indicator approaching the same overbought levels seen during the 2017 and 2021 peaks. For context, both instances preceded dramatic declines. Amid this recurring pattern, Severino urged traders to have sell limit orders in place before the rally exhausts itself.
Notably, the current breakout bears strong similarities to the 2017 surge, when XRP skyrocketed from under $0.01 to over $3 in about nine weeks in the final phase. According to Severino, the present move could follow a similarly compressed time frame.
Tony Severino XRP chart
Last month, his analysis suggested that XRP’s “final wave” could carry it as high as $12.73 within a 40-day window. This pointed to a potential peak by late August or early September.
Meanwhile, other analysts have set even more ambitious targets, with some projecting $50 to $99 by year-end.
The Exit Plan Is Key
Despite his bullish tone, Severino continues to emphasize risk management. His personal profit zone sits between $8 and $13. Meanwhile, Severino is not the only analyst calling for an imminent crash for XRP after a peak around $20.
Analyst Jaydee has also warned that while XRP may see a surge similar to its late-2017 performance, only a few investors are likely to achieve life-changing profits. He believes most could get swept up in the frenzy and end up becoming exit liquidity for institutional and smart traders.
He cautions that retail investors holding on too long may once again suffer heavy losses, as “smart money” exits at the top. Fellow analyst EGRAG agrees, projecting similar crash scenarios following the peak.
Crash Scenarios for XRP
EGRAG has outlined two potential bear market scenarios based on historical trends. Scenario One sees XRP peaking at $27, then crashing 97% to $0.80, mirroring its 2017–2018 collapse.
Scenario Two projects a more modest run, topping out at $9, followed by an 85% drop to $1.30. EGRAG also noted that a dip below $0.30 isn’t off the table, citing past cycle behavior.
While some, like Michael Saylor and Bitwise’s Matt Hougan, argue that crypto winters are over due to institutional support, EGRAG maintains that market cycles remain inevitable: “What goes up must come down.”
Lately, pre-TGE token trading is sparking a lot of conversations. Why? Because those trades happen ‘fast and furious.’ They’re exciting yet risky. Someone gets burned a lot of money. Unich couldn’t put up with this pain, so it’s trying to cure and heal it. Their goal? Make these trades less of a guessing game and a lot safer for everyone involved.
Unich Is A Shining Pearl On Solana
Unich OTC Exchange comes to life with the idea to make OTC crypto trading safer and clearer. It uses smart contracts to block the scams that plague old-school deals, especially with pre-TGE tokens.
Unich is built on Solana, a blockchain known for speed and low fees. Why mention Solana? Because the blockchain itself is grabbing attention lately, with daily volumes hitting $3,4 billion (source: Defillama).
Solana is home to some new-generation crypto stars. For example, Pumpfun and Raydium reshaped DeFi with fast, low-cost trading. At the height of the meme-coin craze, Raydium processed a staggering $16 billion in trades in a single day.
Unich built their exchange on Solana for a reason. Solana’s fast, cheap, and reliable, basically everything you want when you’re moving serious crypto. It can do up to 65,000 transactions per second, fees are peanuts (less than a cent!), and trades confirm almost instantly.
So for Unich users, trading feels quick and smooth, even when everyone’s jumping in at once. It delivers good user experiences and makes OTC deals feel like a quick DEX swap but with trust built in.
Core Features That Solve Real OTC Problems
OTC scams happen more often than many realize. In June 2025, over $50M disappeared in a single Telegram OTC deal. Seeing news like that really makes you pause. Traditional pre-TGE deals force buyers to pay beforehand and wait weeks or even months. If the project fails or the seller runs, the investor loses everything.
We all know the pain when traders can get a feel for the potential of these assets, but they’re afraid of diving blindly into deals where scams are all too common.
Unich Pre-Market tackles this problem head-on. Both buyers and sellers deposit collateral into a smart contract. The contract holds the funds until the trade completes. The platform provides info on token listing, TGE, and settlement times, so users can plan ahead.
If one party fails to deliver the latter amount of the asset, the other receives their own collateral plus the defaulter’s. It’s simple, but incredibly effective.
Unich Core Features
Unich Pre-Market also has something one-of-a-kind: Cashout Orders. Traders can exit before TGE, swap positions, and get back part of their collateral. It’s rare in OTC trading and gives users real flexibility – cut losses, rebalance, or just step aside if things feel risky.
Achievements And Milestones Speak For Themselves
All those features are interesting, but how much are people actually using the platform? Let’s take a look at the numbers.
Unich has grown quickly in just 12 months since mainnet. The platform has handled $1.2B in OTC trades already. It has also become the first OTC exchange in the world to conquer this milestone.
Of course, the numbers matter. But what’s behind those numbers is the sense of safety. Because people feel safe when trading pre-TGE tokens on this platform, they generated that huge volume.
Honestly, we were surprised by how fast Unich has grown. In just a few months, they’ve already pulled in over $20 million in revenue and welcomed more than 5 million users from over 190 countries.
What really stood out to us were a few numbers:
Over 60 tokens are now live on Unich Pre-Market, and most of them are hidden gems with solid liquidity.
Smaller projects like Switchboard and NodeGo saw about $6 million in trading volume.
The big hitters, Doodles and fun, pushed trades up to $20 million.
The strength of Unich is being further enforced with a large network of partnerships. Unich has also teamed up with over 40 partners in what they call the “Freedom Crypto Alliance.” Notable names like B2 Network, Pyth Network, and Redotpay are included. These partnerships help the platform expand and gain credibility in the crypto community.
Before getting here, some of you might have wondered: “Is this project really doing anything?” By now, you’ve probably got the answer. The fact that Unich already has a working platform and active users is proof that they’re serious about what they’re building.
Unich IDO Makes Room For What’s Next
Unich is moving its way towards DeFi and granting the governance rights to users. Thus, they have started their public token sale, the Unich IDO, ahead of its token generation event.
The sale offers 100 million $UN tokens, starting at $0.15, and will gradually increase by the time. Early participants will enjoy more benefits simply for joining sooner. We deem this a quite typical yet nice motivation.
UNICH World Leading OTC Exchange
NFT holders get extra advantages. EGGWARD NFTs let users buy $UN at a 25% discount. They are available on Tensor, OKX NFT Marketplace, and Magic Eden. Users can also earn free NFTs through Unich events and giveaways.
These benefits connect closely with the referral program, sparking users to bring friends and spread the word. The referral program rewards 11% – 8% in USDT instantly and 3% in $UN tokens on vesting.
About the token UN, it is the native token of Unich OTC exchange. Every trade, fee, and Cashout order runs through it. That’s why we often say that an exchange token is a winning token.
The token has shown strong demand even before major exchange listings. On Unich Pre-Market, it jumped from $0.16 to $0.80 in 24 hours and later hit $0.99 before stabilizing around $0.65-$0.75.
Trading volume last week reached roughly $14 million, proving active engagement. This momentum hints at what’s possible once the TGE occurs.
$UN is already accessible via Binance Wallet, OKX Wallet, and Bybit Wallet, sparking speculation about future listings. The team has also confirmed that UN will be present on top-tier CEXs, which reflects a solid guarantee for their supporters.
One more important thing that users care about a token is its tokenomics. UN’s tokenomics are designed with the community in mind: 80% goes to the community and ecosystem, 15% to the core team, and 5% to investors and advisors.
What’s cool is that holding $UN lets you get lower fees, early access to features, staking rewards around 20–30% APY, voting power, and even a quarterly burn that trims supply. So it’s actually useful, not just a collectible.
What’s worth considering (for pre-TGE gems hunters) is that the fully diluted valuation sits at $150 million, modest compared to Jupiter, Solayer, or AAVE. These reputable projects boast an average FDV of $700M – $3B. Well, this could imply that $UN is still early in its infancy, with plenty of space to attract more attention.
All in all, Unich addresses long-standing OTC problems with fresh solutions. How the market responds before and after TGE will be telling. Yet, as per what we’ve observed so far, $UN has performed well as expected (about what an exchange token can do). So, in our perspective, the Unich token sale should be taken into account. Indeed, on-chain data is showing that early participants are already getting a front-row look.
Despite Shiba Inu recent underperformance, industry commentators suggest that patient investors could still see substantial returns on their SHIB investments.
Several market analysts have stressed the importance of long-term holding, noting its potential to improve financial standing significantly. This strategy generally involves buying an asset like Shiba Inu and holding it for an extended period.
While many early Shiba Inu investors have already made substantial returns during the 2020/2021 market cycle without holding the token for long, newcomers will likely need to hold SHIB for the long term to experience comparable growth.
As a result, this article analyzes the potential earnings of investors holding 10 million, 100 million, and 500 million Shiba Inu tokens until 2050.
Cost of Procuring 10M, 100M, and 500M SHIB Tokens
Notably, Shiba Inu has not been left out of the relief rally across the crypto market. The price of the token has soared 5.88% in the past day to $0.00001388.
Based on the current price, it would cost investors $138, $1,388, or $6,940 to procure 10 million, 100 million, or 500 million SHIB, respectively. Fresh stats from IntoTheBlock show that at least 298,520 addresses hold 10-100 million SHIB tokens.
Similarly, IntoTheBlock groups wallets containing 500 million SHIB with the 69,560 addresses holding between 100 million and 1 billion tokens.
Shiba Inu ownership stats
2050 Valuations of 10M, 100M, and 500M SHIB
Speculations from major sources like India’s Flitpay exchange, xAI’s Grok, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT suggest that these 10 million, 100 million, and 500 million Shiba Inu tokens could be more valuable by 2050 compared to their current valuation.

India-based crypto exchange Flitpay predicted that Shiba Inu could trade between $0.0085 and $0.089 by 2050. At Flitpay’s minimum target of $0.0085, holdings of 10 million SHIB, 100 million SHIB, and 500 million tokens will be worth $85,000, $850,000, and $4.25 million, respectively.
However, the value of these tokens will reach $890,000, $8.9 million, and $44.5 million if SHIB attains Flitpay’s $0.089 maximum target.

ChatGPT
Meanwhile, ChatGPT sets $0.0001 as its conservative target for Shiba Inu by 2050, potentially driven by token burns. For its moderate and aggressive predictions, the AI chatbot expects Shiba Inu’s price to climb to $0.002 and $0.02.
The $0.0001 price forecast will push the value of these 10 million, 100 million, and 500 million Shiba Inu tokens to $1,000, $10,000, and $50,000, respectively.
At the $0.002 moderate target, the 10 million SHIB portfolio will be worth $20,000, while the valuations of the 100 million and 500 million SHIB tokens will climb to $200,000 and $1 million, respectively.

Grok
Referencing predictions from multiple sources, xAI’s Grok forecasted that SHIB’s price could range between $0.0160 and $5 by 2050. Grok’s conservative target of $0.0160 puts the valuation of the 10 million, 100 million, and 500 million SHIB tokens at $160,000, $1.6 million, and $8 million.
At the extreme target of $5, the worth of these tokens will climb to $50 million, $500 million, $2.5 billion, respectively.
As enticing as these projections may seem, investors should not base their decisions solely on speculative forecasts. Shiba Inu would face a significant challenge in reaching some of these targets, particularly the $5 mark by 2050.
Given current market conditions, SHIB would require an astronomical rally of 36,022,954% to hit $5, potentially pushing its market capitalization to $2.94 quadrillion.
