XRP whales make a splash: 10K+ wallets skyrocket to 6-month high

Amid positive predictions for the price of the XRP Ledger (XRP) token in the next few months, the cryptocurrency market’s largest traders seem to be doing their part to help its recovery, evident in the massive surge in the number of crypto wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP.

Indeed, the number of wallets holding 10,000 XRP or more has skyrocketed in the past five weeks, reaching the number of 279,400 such addresses, which also marks a six-month high, according to the data shared by blockchain and crypto market intelligence platform Santiment in an X post on July 31.

Furthermore, the Santiment team has observed that the “correlation between these wallets and XRP’s market value has been undeniable throughout 2024,” suggesting that the rise in the number of shark and whale XRP addresses is a bullish signal for the crypto asset in line with analysts’ expectations.

XRP price analysis

Indeed, the sixth-largest asset in the crypto sector by market capitalization is already witnessing remarkable price gains, including advancing 7.58% in the last 24 hours, accumulating an advance of 7.17% across the previous seven days, and increasing 34.65% over the past month, leading to the price of $0.65.

It is also worth noting that crypto trading expert Dark Defender has recently suggested that XRP’s technical Analysis (TA) indicators point to a potential breakout that could culminate with the token hitting an exceptionally high price level at $18 in the following months.

All things considered, XRP whales are demonstrating confidence in the token, which could certainly continue to grow its price, perhaps even to the extremely optimistic $18 target, especially if the Ripple vs. SEC court case finalizes positively for the blockchain company.

However, things in the crypto market do not necessarily stay as predicted, even by the industry’s most experienced analysts, so doing one’s own due diligence, keeping up with any XRP news today and in the future, as well as understanding all the risks is critical when investing.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...

Miles Deutscher predicts PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle. Deutscher noted that fewer PEPE holders are underwater compared to DOGE holders. PEPE has more multiples to reach its previous all-time high (ATH) compared to DOGE. PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle, predicts Miles Deutscher, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst. In a Twitter post, Deutscher highlighted the reasons behind his prediction. I think $PEPE outperforms $DOGE next cycle. Why? • The Underwater Thesis: Less PEPE holders underwater vs DOGE, meaning less sell pressure on the way up + lower multiples to reach previous ATH (2.8x vs 12x). • People are more fatigued with the DOGE meme, Pepe feels fresher… — Miles Deutscher (@milesdeutscher) June 23, 2023 Deutscher’s first reason for supporting PEPE to outperform DOGE in the next cycle is what he called “The Underwater Thesis.” He noted fewer PEPE holders are “underwater” compared to DOGE holders.
