Ripple will unlock 1 billion XRP tomorrow, March 1; Sell pressure incoming

Image
Ripple is XRP’s largest holder and core entity in its development, directly linked to the token’s creation and initial distribution. On March 1, Saturday, Ripple will unlock 1 billion XRP that has not yet been put in circulation, impacting markets. Precisely, the unlock has a nominal value of $2.03 billion at current prices and could create significant selling pressure. However, activity from previous months hints that the company may only sell a fraction of the 1 billion XRP. When XRP was launched in 2012, Ripple kept 80 billion of the supply out of circulation to itself, gradually selling some units, distributing it to the market. In 2017, the company implemented an escrow system to lock the still undistributed 55 billion XRP, with programmed monthly unlocks.

If you invested $1,000 in Bitcoin at the start of 2025, here’s what it’s worth now

Image
After the market-wide cryptocurrency bull run kicked off in November 2024, the upward trajectory of Bitcoin (BTC) stalled out in late December. Although a renewed rally saw a new all-time high (ATH) of $108,786 reached on January 20, prices managed to hold above the $100,000 mark just until the end of the month — when President Trump’s implementation of tariffs caused a market-wide selloff of risk assets. The leading cryptocurrency has been trading sideways since; although this time around, the level of support has solidified higher than before, at $96,500. Picks for you R.

De-Dollarization: Economist Predicts the Future of the US Dollar

Image
De-dollarization is the most talked about subject in developing countries where they aim to uproot the US dollar from the world’s reserve currency status. Emerging economies want their local currencies to take first precedence by ending dependency on the US dollar. The prospects of the greenback are at stake as countries in the East are looking to tilt global financial power on their side. The upcoming decade could decide if the USD will remain the de facto reserve currency of the world.

Pump.fun Volume Plummets 43% After $LIBRA Rug Pull As First Solana Layer-2 Solaxy Closes On $23M In Presale

Image
Even as Solana reels from the $LIBRA scandal, its first Layer-2 chain Solaxy ($SOLX) is amassing funds as its presale surpasses $22.7 million. In just the past three days, Solaxy has seen over $700,000 worth of new $SOLX buys, which Solana fans may see as their only hope for the network to break its January peak. A meme coin revival could be triggered if the alliance of Solana bulls resumes buying activity and reignites Pump.fun, whose daily volumes have dropped by 43.37% since last week. It’s a cascading effect, and the force is strong with those backing Solaxy in its current presale stage, where the price is set at $0.001642 per token for the next 35 hours. Investors Vent Anger At Solana And Pump.Fun Over the past seven days, $SOL has plummeted by 10.4%, extending its losses to 40% from its all-time high (ATH) just over a month ago.

JPMorgan: Bitcoin & Ethereum Demand Shows Crypto Downside

Image
JPMorgan analysts warn that the crypto industry faces a potential downspell amid lower demand for top assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The leading cryptocurrency by market cap, BTC, is down over 6% in the past month. For ETH, the coin is down by nearly 18%. Despite the bullish market sentiment, not many cryptocurrencies have excelled on 2024 levels in 2025 thus far. Thus, JPMorgan fears that the 2025 crypto boom may not hit as hard as projected. The total crypto market cap has declined by 15% from its record high of $3.72 trillion on Dec. 17 to around $3.17 trillion, marking a significant correction. JPMorgan analysts, led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, say a lack of positive catalysts and fading momentum drive lower demand for crypto futures. Specifically, CME bitcoin and ether futures are nearing “backwardation”: where futures prices fall below spot prices, mirroring last June and July, the analysts wrote. “This is a negative development and indicativ...
