Ripple has entered a new chapter — not through hype cycles or speculative frenzy, but by doing what far fewer crypto companies manage to pull off: executing, scaling, and earning the trust of the world’s most selective capital.
Bitcoin is doing that thing again where it reminds everyone it doesn’t care about your hopes, your TA, or your leveraged long. Bitcoin just nuked to four-month lows, slicing through psychological support like it was wet tissue and briefly trading under six figures — yes, under $100K again — tapping ~$99,954 before clawing back above the line.
Bitcoin slid to $107,200, brushing off what should have been bullish news — a 0.25% rate cut and the official end of quantitative tightening (QT). On paper, that’s the combo traders dream of: cheaper money and more liquidity. So why is BTC acting like it didn’t get the memo?
Javier Milei’s party, La Libertad Avanza (LLA), took a strong showing in the 2025 midterm elections in Argentina, consolidating his power and setting the stage for more ambitious reforms. That should excite the crypto industry — after all, Milei has long flirted with pro-crypto language, calling central banks “a scam” and dubbing Bitcoin the “natural reaction against the central-bank scammers.”
In a dramatic turn for the crypto world, US President Donald Trump has officially pardoned Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the founder of Binance. The move clears Zhao’s record and potentially opens the door for his return to the exchange — and maybe even a broader comeback for crypto’s relationship with Washington.
Dogecoin, the original meme coin that refuses to die, is back in the spotlight — and yes, it’s Elon Musk’s fault again. One cryptic post on X featuring the Shiba Inu mascot sent DOGE up 2.5% to $0.20, stretching its two-week rebound to an eye-watering 50%. Traders are now whispering about a potential 25% surge to $0.26 — a move that would mark another Musk-powered rally.
Bitcoin briefly slipped under $105,000 this week as Wall Street trembled over renewed U.S. banking jitters, but a surprisingly strong round of regional bank earnings and a dash of geopolitical détente have thrown the market a lifeline.
Elon Musk has changed his mind about Bitcoin. Again. This week, the world’s richest techno-contrarian and X overlord declared that Bitcoin’s energy-based foundation is precisely what gives it value — a far cry from 2021, when he slammed the cryptocurrency’s power consumption as “insane” and abruptly halted Tesla’s Bitcoin payments.
After a tariff shock from Donald Trump torched leverage and sent crypto into a historic flush, Bitcoin has rebounded to ~$115K while sentiment stays brittle: the trend is back “on” but underpowered, Ethereum’s recovery looks weakest of the majors, and Solana’s short-term wobble clashes with its still-bullish long view—leaving a cleaner, reset market that’s poised to chop in range until a real catalyst decides the next leg.
After one of the ugliest Fridays in recent crypto memory, markets finally caught a breath Sunday as Washington and Beijing both decided to dial down the drama. That gave crypto assets a chance to bounce back and get in the green.
