Here’s Why Early XRP Investors Cashing Out, But Retails Keeps XRP Above $2

As XRP holds above $2 without much progress, on-chain data shows early investors are taking profits.

On-chain analytics firm Glassnode highlighted this development in a post on X on Thursday. The report first noted that, as XRP trades above $2, this price level represents a 4X increase compared to XRP’s base price just before the breakout in 2024.

Back then, XRP had a base price of around $0.40 to $0.60, consistently trading within that range without breaking significantly above or below it. However, by the first week of November 2024, the trend shifted. XRP began a breakout run and never returned to that previous range.

By mid-November, the coin had reclaimed the $1 level for the first time since 2021. The momentum continued to build, and XRP surpassed its 2021 cycle peak of $1.96 by the first week of December. Overcoming this major multi-year resistance level created the launchpad for XRP to surge into the $2 and eventually the $3 range by January 2025, levels last seen in 2018.

Many hoped XRP would break its seven-year all-time high jinx, but resistance at those levels proved formidable, causing the price to retrace. The combination of strong resistance and solid support helped XRP establish a new base around the $2 range. Since January, XRP has generally held above this level, with occasional dips below.

With this new base, those who patiently accumulated XRP around the $0.50 mark when it was barely moving are now sitting on gains of over 300%. Meanwhile, Glassnode data suggests these early investors are beginning to exit the market.

Early Investors Dumping XRP

The report revealed that, since early June, early investors have been taking profits at an astonishing rate of around $69 million per day.

This wave of distribution suggests that XRP’s upward momentum may slow unless new buyers step in. This may explain XRP’s 9.6% decline over the past month, now trading at $2.14.

Despite the ongoing distribution, XRP’s price has remained above $2. Some commentators interpret this as a sign of strength amid selling pressure. Others see a potential repeat of previous cycles, suggesting that current buyers could be rewarded handsomely if XRP establishes a new, higher base.

Interestingly, while some investors are selling, whales are accumulating XRP.

XRP Whale Count Hits Record High

A recent report from Santiment indicates that activity on the XRP Ledger has surged significantly. Whale presence and network transactions are reaching new highs amid hope for market recovery.

Specifically, the number of wallets holding at least 1 million XRP has hit a record 2,708, with each wallet valued at over $2.25 million. This is the first time in XRP’s 12-year history that such a high count has been recorded.

Additionally, daily active addresses have spiked to over 295,000. This marks a 637.5% increase in just one week, far exceeding the recent average of 35,000–40,000.

Dogecoin Could See 60% Move if Price Breaks This Key Range

Analyst Ali Martinez highlights a symmetrical triangle on the Dogecoin daily chart, pointing to a potential major move driven by technical patterns.

Dogecoin is drawing attention from on-chain analysts amid a 1.90% decline over the past 24 hours. The coin is trading at $0.1676, dipping 3.74% over the last seven days.

However, beyond short-term price fluctuations, analysts have identified a key pattern on the daily timeframe that could signal an imminent shift in trend. A symmetrical triangle that began forming in December 2024 is now approaching its apex, with market watchers closely eyeing critical levels for a possible breakout.

The Dogecoin Symmetrical Triangle Setup

According to Ali Martinez, the symmetrical triangle pattern on the DOGE/USDT daily chart has shaped the token’s price action since December 8, when it briefly surged to $0.48.

Image

The upper trendline has consistently capped upward movement, rejecting bullish attempts at $0.43 on January 18 and again at $0.25 on May 11. Meanwhile, the lower trendline has provided support, holding at $0.12 on April 7 and near $0.16 on June 18.

Market watchers often view this pattern as a precursor to a significant breakout. Meanwhile, the direction remains uncertain until the price closes decisively above or below the triangle’s boundaries.

According to Martinez, Dogecoin is poised for a potential 60% move, but notes that a daily close outside the $0.16 to $0.22 range will confirm the breakout direction.

If Dogecoin breaks upward, a 60% rally from the current price of $0.1681 would place it near $0.269. Conversely, a 60% decline would drop it to approximately $0.0672.

Historical Patterns Reinforce the Technical Outlook

In a separate analysis, Crypto Elites examined past symmetrical triangle formations in Dogecoin’s history. The first triangle emerged in early 2016 when the price was around $0.0001. After consolidation, a breakout in late 2017 led to a move from $0.008 to $0.017 by January 2018.

Another pattern developed in December 2020 after the price fell below $0.002. A breakout followed in 2021, lifting Dogecoin to $0.080 by February and eventually to $0.73 by May 2021.

More recently, a third triangle began forming in mid-2022 around the $0.05 mark. A breakout occurred in early 2024, pushing the price to $0.22 in March and peaking above $0.48 by December 2024, before returning to its current level.

Based on these formations, Crypto Elites maintains a bullish stance on Dogecoin. He boldly argued a $5 target is a realistic expectation.

Heightened Network Activity

Meanwhile, data from IntoTheBlock provides additional insight into current market dynamics. Over the past week, Dogecoin’s network activity has surged across three major address metrics.

New Addresses jumped by 102.40%, while Active Addresses climbed by 111.32%. Zero Balance Addresses also rose by 155.52%.

Dogecoin Daily Active Addresses

These figures suggest growing user engagement and trading activity. Increased New Addresses typically indicate new user entry, while more Active Addresses imply higher transaction volumes. The rise in Zero Balance Addresses may reflect heightened wallet turnover or broader trading movement.

Peter Schiff Strikes Again, Says Silver Has More Realistic Upside Compared to Bitcoin

Peter Schiff Strikes Again, Says Silver Has More Realistic Upside Compared to Bitcoin

Popular Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff believes that not only gold but also silver has a better long-term growth prospect compared to BTC.

In his Friday tweet, he called silver a better alternative to gold than Bitcoin, arguing that those looking to diversify from gold should consider it instead of buying the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

This comes as silver has outperformed Bitcoin since the start of the month. BTC is down slightly from its opening price of $104,648, while silver is up 8% in the same timeframe, rallying to a high of $37.30 before retracing in the past few days to $35.59 at the time of writing.

Silver: A Better Buy Than Bitcoin?

Citing this performance, Schiff stated that silver looks more bullish compared to Bitcoin. In his words, it has so much upside potential and minimal downsides. Notably, silver is down 3% in the past three days, while BTC has remained largely stable around its current price.

Nonetheless, Schiff argued that those seeking an alternative to gold should consider buying silver instead of Bitcoin. He seemed perturbed that people seem interested in acquiring Bitcoin when there is silver, which he deems a better buy.

“Silver has far more realistic upside potential than Bitcoin, with significantly less downside risk,” Schiff insisted, again citing Bitcoin’s volatility as a significant concern for investors. However, Michael Saylor offers a different definition for Bitcoin’s rapid price development, suggesting that it reflects its utility.

Recall that “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki made a similar comment earlier. In April, he noted that silver is more valuable than gold and Bitcoin, citing increased demand for the $2 trillion-capped precious metal.

Silver Has More Realistic Upside Potential?

Interestingly, Bitcoin has been in a class of its own in the past decade, outperforming gold, silver, and other major traditional assets. For instance, Bitcoin has surged over 42,000% from its price of around $250 ten years ago, while gold and silver have managed just 175% and 168%, respectively.

Additionally, while silver has outperformed Bitcoin over the past month, BTC has performed better year over year. The crypto leader has rallied 60%, while silver has increased by 23% in the same timeframe.

Moreover, Bitcoin also outranks silver among top assets by market cap despite being relatively newer. It ranks 7th with a market cap of $2.08 trillion, while silver has a valuation of $2 trillion and ranks 8th.

Furthermore, the institutional adoption of Bitcoin is also considered early, as skepticism around BTC continues to slowly dissipate. This has triggered debates that Bitcoin can easily run into millions of dollars per coin, a bullish sentiment moderately seen with silver.

Nonetheless, Kiyosaki sees silver and Bitcoin as complementary assets rather than rivals. He has persistently urged smart market users to buy gold and both assets, noting they are better than saving in “fake” fiat currency.

Schiff Sparks Community Reactions

As expected, Schiff’s Bitcoin troll drew the attention of the crypto community, which has readily defended its belief in BTC’s potential. For instance, one reaction mocked Schiff for parading “old-school” silver in a digital age, noting that, unlike the precious metal, Bitcoin disrupts economies and empowers individuals globally.

Meanwhile, another user noted that Schiff has been in the Bitcoin criticism game for over a decade, during which BTC has rallied from $10,000 to $100,000, while silver has barely reached its 2011 high. Notably, silver touched $49.50 in April 2011 and has not since retested that high.

If XRP Hits $10, Here is How Much Chris Larsen Holdings and Ripple Escrow Will Be Worth

If XRP Hits $10, Here is How Much Chris Larsen Holdings and Ripple Escrow Will Be Worth

The value of Ripple escrow holdings and Chairman Chris Larsen’s bag could surge significantly if XRP reaches a double-digit price.

While XRP and the XRP Ledger launched before Ripple (then OpenCoin), the blockchain’s original architects had some ties to the Ripple firm. As a result, the team donated billions of XRP to the company and its founders, with Chris Larsen, one of the founders and now Chairman, also receiving a large chunk.

XRP Tokens Held by Larsen and Ripple Escrow

Ripple as a company locked up most of its balance in an escrow in 2017, releasing 1 billion tokens each month. Notably, due to their large holdings, Ripple and Chris Larsen stand to benefit tremendously if the XRP price skyrockets to greater heights. 

Interestingly, several analysts and community figures already believe XRP is currently undervalued, suggesting that it is on track for an imminent explosive run. For instance, last month, crypto trader DK64Trades expressed confidence that XRP could easily break $10 this cycle, citing the XRP dominance chart.

Should this $10 price materialize, it could have far-reaching implications on the value of Ripple’s escrow as well as Larsen’s holdings. For context, data from XRPScan shows that Ripple currently holds 36.208 billion XRP across 14 wallets within its escrow system. Currently, these tokens are worth $77.84 billion at XRP’s price of $2.15.

XRP Distribution XRPScan
XRP Distribution | XRPScan

Meanwhile, Ripple Chairman Chris Larsen currently holds 2.643 billion XRP tokens. At the prevalent XRP price, his stash is worth $5.682 billion. 

Worth of Ripple and Larsen’s Holdings if XRP Hits $10

Notably, if XRP surges to $10 per token, these holdings would skyrocket. For instance, at a $10 price, Ripple’s escrowed 36.208 billion XRP tokens would be worth $ 362.08 billion, representing an increase of nearly $285 billion. At this price, Larsen’s 2.643 billion tokens would surge to $26.43 billion, inflating his worth by over $20 billion.

Interestingly, while the $10 price appeared ambitious as of November 2024, when XRP traded for $0.5, this price target now seems readily feasible at the current position. With XRP now trading for $2.15, it would need to increase by just 365% to reach the $10 price. 

Recall that XRP already showed its potential with a 580% rise from November 2024 to January 2025. As a result, several analysts believe a run to $10 is achievable. For instance, CryptosRUs founder George Tung expects XRP to reach a price of $8 to $10 by the end of the year.

Also, in March, market technician Cas Abbé identified three factors that could push XRP to $10, including RLUSD adoption, a Ripple IPO, and the launch of spot XRP ETFs.

Cardano Founder Says $100M in Bitcoin Is to Earn Yields and Buy ADA with the Returns

Cardano Founder Says $100M in Bitcoin Is to Earn Yields and Buy ADA with the Returns

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson clarifies his proposal to convert a portion of ADA’s on-chain treasury into a multi-asset yield-generating fund. 

Hoskinson was recently interviewed by media personality David Gokhshtein to discuss his proposal to boost Cardano’s liquidity and DeFi ecosystem. 

Recall that Hoskinson floated a plan to convert approximately $100 million worth of ADA from the treasury into a mix of Cardano-native stablecoins and Bitcoin to earn a yield of up to 10%. He suggested that the yields would be reinvested in ADA and deposited into the treasury. 

However, several market commentators criticized his proposal. Some critics, like Anthony Pompliano, suggested that the Cardano founder intends to dump ADA for Bitcoin. 

Hoskinson Defends His Proposal

During his recent interview, Hoskinson emphasized the importance of a multi-asset reserve. He mentioned that the Cardano ecosystem remains the largest holder of ADA, with 1.7 billion coins currently in its treasury. 

The Cardano founder estimated the current value at $1 billion, noting that it had previously reached an ATH of $5 billion. However, he claims the treasury is currently sitting idle without earning anything in return. 

“[The massive ADA] just sits there like a dragon on a big pile of gold,” Hoskinson remarked.

He believes converting a portion of this idle ADA treasury into a multi-asset reserve would generate more yield. This influenced his proposal to convert $100 million worth of ADA into a mix of Cardano-native stablecoins and Bitcoin. 

Bitcoin Allocation 

Hoskinson proposed allocating 50% of the $100 million to Cardano-native stablecoins, potentially earning yields through lending and other DeFi activities. The remaining half, representing $50 million, will go into Bitcoin, hoping its price will appreciate in the future. 

He emphasized that combining these allocations will enable Cardano to earn yields, which will be reinvested in ADA and deposited into the treasury. In his view, this strategy would help to boost Cardano’s stablecoin and TVL metrics. 

Cardano Currently Lags Behind Solana and Ethereum in the Stablecoin Metric 

Hoskinson argues that major stablecoin issuers like Circle usually consider a network’s TVL and stablecoin supply before launching its USDC token. 

According to him, Cardano’s stablecoin and TVL metrics are lower compared to those of major competitors, such as Solana and Ethereum. He said Cardano’s stablecoin supply is roughly $33 million and its TVL is worth around $340 million, bringing the network’s stablecoin-to-DeFi ratio to around 9.8%. 

Conversely, he noted that major chains have a massive stablecoin supply, with Solana and Ethereum boasting around $11 billion and $190 billion, respectively. 

Proposal Could Launch Soon 

However, Hoskinson expects Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem to experience a major boost once the multi-asset treasury goes live. He opined that an official proposal for the treasury can be drafted pretty quickly. 

Afterward, the Cardano ecosystem team can focus on other initiatives, including partnerships with other blockchain networks, such as Bitcoin and XRP.

Some initiatives lined up for XRP include its integration into the Lace wallet, participation of XRP holders in Midnight’s Glacier airdrop, and better yields for XRP holders. 

Here Is XRP Price If Ripple Secures 50+ Central Bank Partnerships

Here Is XRP Price If Ripple Secures 50+ Central Bank Partnerships

Per popular projections, the XRP price could reach ambitious levels if Ripple secures 50+ central banking partnerships, leading to greater confidence and demand.

Currently, XRP trades at about $2.16 with a market cap close to $127 billion, but many analysts believe it’s still flying under the radar. They see XRP’s strong use case in global payments as a reason it could be worth much more. 

Experts Believe XRP Price Remains Undervalued

Notably, if Ripple keeps expanding its payment infrastructure and lands more partnerships with major financial institutions, especially central banks, those experts believe XRP price could see a dramatic increase due to an increase in confidence and demand.

However, the scope of this demand remains largely uncertain. As a result, to understand where XRP’s price could head if Ripple signs deals with over 50 central banks, we turned to ChatGPT. 

Notably, the AI model broke it down based on how deeply XRP might be used within these systems. It pointed out that Ripple’s CBDC platform does not rely on XRP itself, since it’s built on a private version of the XRP Ledger. 

Key Considerations from ChatGPT
Key Considerations from ChatGPT

However, ChatGPT explained that growing trust in Ripple’s tech could easily spill over into demand for XRP, especially if banks start using it for cross-border payments or currency bridging.

Possible XRP Price if Ripple Secures 50+ Central Bank Partnerships

ChatGPT presented several possibilities depending on how far Ripple’s influence spreads. For one, if 50 or more central banks adopt its CBDC platform and XRP plays a big role in global settlement systems, the price of XRP could shoot up. 

Specifically, ChatGPT believes in a case where XRP powers 20–30% of the world’s cross-border flows, its market cap could reach $1.2 trillion, putting the price at around $20.38 per coin. 

Meanwhile, if XRP becomes the go-to system for bank settlements across G20 countries, the price could climb to $42.46. In an even more ambitious outcome, where central banks use XRP as a reserve or clearing asset, the market cap could hit $5 trillion, pushing the token to roughly $84.93. 

XRP Price Prediction if Ripple Secures 50 Central Bank Partnerships

Interestingly, ChatGPT presented a more bullish case, where XRP anchors both public CBDCs and private sector payments. In this case, the chatbot says XRP price could skyrocket to $135.88 on an $8 trillion market cap.

ChatGPT based these projections on several big assumptions. Specifically, Ripple would need to scale its CBDC and payment services, see XRP adopted across multiple layers, and benefit from clear regulations in places like the U.S. and EU.

Ripple Already Securing Partnerships with Central Banks

Ripple’s current list of partnerships already shows progress in that direction. It has teamed up with multiple central banks, and its CEO, Garlinghouse, said ten government partnerships are active, though many haven’t been publicly detailed. 

Notably, Ripple launched its CBDC platform in May 2023 to help central banks manage their digital currencies from creation to circulation.

Several countries are already working with Ripple. For instance, Palau partnered with Ripple to create a USD-backed digital asset focused on sustainability. Bhutan used Ripple’s tech to run a CBDC pilot aimed at improving payment efficiency. 

Montenegro also partnered with Ripple for its CBDC project. Georgia brought Ripple in to develop the Digital Lari, and Colombia is using Ripple’s platform to modernize its high-value payment systems.

Analyst Says Something Brewing for XRP: Here Are Four Signs

Analyst Says Something Brewing for XRP: Here Are Four Signs

Market pundit MoonBitz suggests something is brewing for XRP amid multiple technical signs such as a bullish triangle and tightening bands.

The analyst revealed this in one of his latest commentaries, in which he discussed XRP’s current position amid the price consolidation that has persisted since February. According to him, amid this range-bound phase, a breakout looms.

XRP Consolidation and Drop in Leveraged Trading

For context, since dropping below $3.4 in January, XRP has largely traded around the $2 mark, with most of its price action spent at the lower end of the price level. MoonBitz noted that one of the signs that something is brewing for XRP is actually this extensive consolidation.

Notably, he pointed out that the price has stuck for nearly seven months, a development most analysts see as a signal of an explosive push. Notably, prolonged consolidation builds up buying and selling pressure as traders accumulate positions. 

Once price breaks out of the range, this stored energy often triggers a sharp move. Now, while such a sharp move could go in either direction, analysts like MoonBitz expect an upward push due to the previous trend, which saw XRP explode nearly 600% in three months. 

Meanwhile, MoonBitz spotlighted a drop in leverage among bullish traders as another sign that something is brewing for XRP. Data from Coinglass confirms this trend. Specifically, XRP derivatives volume has slumped 49.12% in the past 24 hours to $2.52 billion. Moreover, Open Interest is down 1.97%, and Options Volume has dropped 13.55%.

Notably, a drop in bullish leverage or leveraged trading means fewer traders are using borrowed funds, reducing the risk of forced liquidations. This creates a healthier setup for sustained upside, as any rally is more likely due to spot buying than by overextended positions.

Tightening of Bollinger Bands and Bullish Symmetrical Triangle 

According to MoonBitz, the third sign that something is brewing is the tightening of XRP’s Bollinger Bands. Data from the XRP daily chart shows that the Bollinger Bands have continued to constrict since mid-May after XRP dropped from the $2.65 high. 

XRP Daily Bollinger Bands
XRP Daily Bollinger Bands

Such tightening indicates that volatility is dropping, and this development results in a build-up of pressure, eventually leading to an explosive price run when volatility returns. Interestingly, The Crypto Basic also called attention to a similar slump of the Bollinger Bandwidth. This trend occurred in November 2024, right before the explosive rally. 

Conclusively, MoonBitz highlighted a bullish XRP triangle as the fourth sign that something is brewing. Notably, data from his chart shows that XRP has been trading within a symmetrical triangle since it dropped from the $2.65 high in May. Currently, XRP is close to the tip of the triangle, and a breakout in either direction looms.

MoonBitz shows that a breakout to the upside could lead to a 41.46% increase, pushing XRP to $3.2. However, if XRP breaks below, the drop could drive the XRP price down to $1.2. However, the analyst is confident in a break upward. Meanwhile, other market watchers believe the $3 mark would only be a stepping stone, projecting higher targets such as $24.

MT5 Download: Unlocking Multi-Asset Trading For The Digital Age

As someone who knows what the crypto world is all about, it’s natural that you’re starting to consider branching out and looking at other markets. Multi-asset trading allows you to profit from multiple positions in multiple markets, and all in a way that can diversify your portfolio and intelligently minimize your risk exposure.

What you need is a next-generation platform that offers flexibility across a variety of different asset classes. If you haven’t already explored it for yourself, MT5 offers everything you are looking for.

Get Started With MT5

Many skilled traders and tech-savvy entrepreneurs use MT5 because of the unique combination of flexibility, versatility, and analytical power that it brings to the table. Because you are moving onto a platform that is so much more than a training aid for novice traders, you will be able to quickly build a robust multi-asset portfolio that allows you to adapt to rapidly changing market conditions.

You can find a reputable MT5 download with the click of a button and then use it as a gateway to start trading everything from crypto and forex to stocks, indices, and commodities. The key point is that you will have the freedom to choose what you trade and which markets you want to enter, allowing you to build a portfolio that manages your risk exposure exactly as you wish.

Unlock Multi-Asset Trading

One of the most flexible options that MT5 offers from a multi-asset point of view is the option to set up CFD positions on things like stocks, forex, and indices. You can also do the same thing if you’re trading precious metals or commodities. Although many traders will tell you that there is greater risk exposure when taking a CFD position, there is also the potential for a higher level of return.

Because MT5 allows you to trade multiple assets on a single platform, you can offset some of your higher-risk positions with more stable, longer-term options. This will then allow you to diversify your portfolio so that no one big swing in a local market can have a significant impact on the amount of trading capital you still have access to.

MetaTrader 5’s Advanced Functionality

You can use established names like ThinkMarkets to quickly explore the wide array of highly detailed analysis tools and powerful charting options. While all of the basics, such as moving averages and standard deviation spreads, are there, so too is a comprehensive range of technical indicators. Using them to provide you with real-time alerts when key shifts occur in the market will allow you to react faster than other traders and profit as a result.

MT5’s range of charting tools is also considerably more advanced than the commonly used MT4 platform. Combine this with the fact that you now have the potential to trade half a dozen or more asset classes, and you will see that you have far more options simply by switching to a more advanced platform.

Algorithmic Trading With MT5

Automated trades triggered by a pre-defined algorithm allow you to react virtually instantly to rapidly changing market conditions. In a world where being first matters perhaps more than any other, traders are increasingly switching from traditional manual trades to smarter, faster, and more precise algorithmic trades. The result is a massive increase in the potential trading volume that you can achieve, and it’s an increase that you can then easily scale across every market and asset class you want to trade.

Expert Advisors (EAs) are trading bots that can be forensically backtested and then optimized on the platform because MT5 provides comprehensive support for algorithmic trading. Many savvy traders also use the MT5 platform to run historical data from real markets through their trading bots to check that the algorithms that are driving them are functioning as expected. This becomes especially important when you want to be able to make sure that you enter a new market with your setup fully optimized for the initial starting conditions.

Utilizing Depth Of Market Analysis

Depth of Market is one of the most powerful analysis tools MT5 offers. It is designed to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the market at any given time and includes a clear visual display of ask and bid prices across the full range of different trading volumes. The idea here is to give you a greater level of understanding of the market at the time you come to execute a trade, allowing you to take a more nuanced approach to risk management.

By looking at the order book of your asset of choice in great detail, you can assess both the liquidity of the market and the potential for sudden changes in pricing trends. This makes MT5 a powerful platform for smart traders who want to move beyond the limits of rudimentary analysis and start to quantify key market metrics in real time.

MetaTrader 5 Order Types

The more order types you have at your disposal, the more potential you have to secure a higher level of return from any given market. MT5 offers market orders, pending orders, and stop orders. While some will argue that these are all fundamental, the combination of these types of orders with an in-depth range of analysis tools is what sets MT5 apart, in the opinion of many successful traders.

Being able to quickly set stops and limits across multiple asset classes, and with the benefit of detailed analysis, provides a clear competitive advantage. You can then make use of a range of different execution modes so that you can adopt a variety of different trading styles to suit the current behavior of any given market. Execution options such as instant, market, exchange, and request provide you with the full range of flexibility that allows you to instantly adapt.

Additional MetaTrader 5 Functionality

There are three additional features that allow MT5 users to function at a consistently high level compared to traders who use more rudimentary platforms:

  • Integrated Accounting Systems: The options to use both netting and hedging systems allow every trader to manage their positions however they wish, and all while minimizing risk across multiple assets and markets
  • Real-World Economic Calendar: The seamless integration of a highly accurate real-world calendar allows you to monitor external events that may result in market turmoil or pricing volatility
  • One-Click Trading Options: The timely execution of potentially lucrative trades with a single click makes sure that technical issues and operating habits never stand in the way of being able to adopt a winning position

Integrating these powerful tools into your wider approach to multi-asset trading will streamline how you approach building and diversifying your trading portfolio. Good news for those savvy traders out there who want to be able to manage risk and reward in an intelligent way for many years to come.

The MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester

Testing multi-asset strategies with real-world data and historical data becomes seamless when you adopt MT5 as your trading platform of choice. The ability to feed data into your algorithms and run through strategies in detail without risking real capital is a priceless advantage in the trading world. The fact that you can do it within the same platform you will eventually be trading live on is another advantage, as it streamlines your testing and execution cycles.

Multiple threads can be backend tested in detail to make sure that all elements and components of the trading algorithm are behaving as expected when fed market data. Being able to fine-tune and refine your limits and stops will allow you to execute smarter trades automatically. Many MT5 users find that periodically retesting their algorithms in this way helps them to continually evolve so that they don’t remain static in a world where so many others are choosing to be dynamic. The built-in Strategy Tester tool allows you to take a proactive approach to developing your trading algorithms with the minimum of effort.

The Last Word

Moving from a purely crypto portfolio into a multi-asset position will help you to diversify, manage risk, and secure revenue from a variety of different streams. You will also find that learning about new markets and how they behave offers clearer insights into crypto price fluctuations. Exactly what’s needed when you want to be able to adopt a rounded approach to trading that allows you to remain two steps ahead of the crowd.

French Lawmakers Reject Proposal to Explore State-Backed Bitcoin Mining

French Lawmakers Reject Proposal to Explore State-Backed Bitcoin Mining

The French National Assembly has declined to consider a proposal to explore the use of surplus electricity for state-sponsored Bitcoin mining. 

The amendment was rejected on procedural grounds, halting what could have been a landmark discussion for France’s energy and digital finance strategy.

Proposal to Study State-Supported Bitcoin Mining

On Monday, French lawmakers proposed integrating Bitcoin mining into the national energy strategy to utilize €80 million of unused electricity, largely generated from nuclear overproduction.

Amendment No. 547 argued that Bitcoin mining’s flexible energy consumption could help absorb surplus electricity, reduce strain on reactors, and support grid balancing. The plan considered locating mining facilities near power plants, reviving dormant industrial sites, and repurposing mining-generated heat for urban or industrial use.

Moreover, the proposal framed Bitcoin mining as a low-carbon, regulated solution aligned with France’s climate objectives. However, in the most recent development, the ambitious proposal has quickly hit a procedural roadblock.

Dismissed on Procedural Grounds

Despite its emphasis on infrastructure efficiency and innovation, the Assembly ruled the amendment inadmissible under Article 98 of its Rules of Procedure.

The rejection was not based on the proposal’s content but on procedural grounds. According to local reports, the amendment was likely classified as a legislative rider, meaning it lacked sufficient relevance to the primary subject of the bill to which it was attached.

Such dismissals are common in parliamentary procedure and do not rule out the possibility of revisiting the topic through more appropriate legislative channels.

Had the proposal moved forward, France could have joined a small but growing group of countries, including Bhutan and El Salvador, exploring sovereign Bitcoin mining initiatives.

Analysts believe a revised amendment, more closely aligned with the core bill, could be reintroduced. However, given the current political climate and ongoing concerns about Bitcoin’s environmental impact, any near-term revival of the idea appears unlikely.

France Maintains a Cautious Stance on Bitcoin

Government officials have consistently voiced concerns over Bitcoin mining’s environmental footprint and high energy consumption. As a result, potential benefits, such as monetizing excess renewable or nuclear energy through regulated mining, remain largely absent from mainstream policy discussions.

Industry Sees a Missed Opportunity

Meanwhile, the crypto community commentators view the decision as a missed opportunity for France. Alex Stanczyk, Managing Director at Swan Private Wealth, warned that such choices risk putting nations at a disadvantage in what he described as a “digital financial arms race.” 

He noted that countries embracing Bitcoin may gain a competitive edge, while those resisting adoption could fall behind, limiting future economic opportunities for their citizens.
