A notable market commentator sees XRP breaking into the higher end of the three-digit territory, citing historical macro data.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

XRP has not fared well over the past few months after surpassing $3.3 in mid-January. The asset collapsed from this seven-year peak amid the bearish pressure that engulfed the broader crypto market from February. XRP dropped 29% in February and an additional 2.58% in March.
However, while its April performance has been more encouraging, it has failed to observe any substantial uptick, consistently ranging around the $2 lows. Interestingly, market analyst EGRAG believes this consolidation will soon end, highlighting a long-term macro channel.
XRP Observes 6-Candle Pattern 
In his latest analysis, the market watcher noticed XRP’s behavior within this macro channel on the monthly chart. Notably, its historical data reveals a pattern the asset has followed within this channel, ultimately leading to an impressive price run.
This pattern involves the formation of six key monthly candles above the 21 EMA. For context, XRP witnessed this pattern in the second half of 2017 following its impressive 801% spike from March to May 2017. Notably, after this run, XRP observed a correction and subsequent consolidation that lasted for months.

During this consolidation, the asset saw a massive red monthly candle in July 2017 as it dropped 34% that month. The second candle was a bullish one, leading to a 58% gain in August 2017. Meanwhile, the third candle, in September 2017, resulted in a 23% loss. 
The fourth candle saw large upswings but closed with a 0.92% loss, and the fifth one set the stage for the recovery push, with a 19% gain in November. Interestingly, XRP then witnessed a massive green candle in December 2017, spiking by an impressive 746% within that month as it completed the six-candle pattern.
XRP to $17 if HistoryRepeats
EGRAG believes this structure is playing out again. Notably, after the initial 283% rise in November 2024, XRP has already witnessed five candles. These five candles led to a 6.43% gain in December 2024, a 46% increase in January 2025, a 30% loss in February 2025, a 2.56% drop in March 2025, and now, a 4.84% rise in April 2025.

The market analyst believes this close to the April candle sets the stage for a massive run during the sixth candle in May 2025. According to him, if history repeats, XRP will see another “mega monthly candle” in May 2025, with a price target of $17. Such a rally would mark a 672% increase from the current price of $2.2.
Another Potential Surge to $55
However, EGRAG expects XRP to see higher prices from here. It bears mentioning that these five candles have remained within the earlier identified macro channel. Nonetheless, with XRP’s surge to $17, the chart shows that the asset would breach the upper boundary of the channel.
According to EGRAG, this breach in itself could trigger another upside move. From the initial $17 target, EGRAG sees XRP soaring by another 223% to $55. Notably, analysts such as Cryptominder have also projected a possible XRP rally to the $50 region.

Bitcoin has shown a strong start to the new month, breaking into the $96,500 level and inching closer to the long-lost $100K threshold.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

Amid this promising movement, renowned market veteran Peter Brandt issued a bold projection for the crypto firstborn. In a tweet just hours ago, Brandt argued that BTC could reach a cycle top between $125,000 and $150,000 by August or September 2025, essentially the third quarter of this year.
Brandt believes this outlook is achievable provided Bitcoin reclaims its previously broken parabolic trendline. He shared a long-term weekly chart analysis highlighting Bitcoin’s historical price patterns and technical formations. 

According to the chart, BTC is climbing within a bullish wedge formation and remains inside a multi-year ascending channel. If the momentum is sustained, this suggests a continuation of the uptrend.
Bitcoin Target Range Hinges on Parabola Reclaim
Essentially, Brandt stressed the importance of Bitcoin regaining its parabolic trajectory, an upward curve that has defined previous bull cycles. Specifically, the curve defined Bitcoin’s peak in the 2021 season.
A successful reclaim could propel BTC to the red zone marked on his chart, between $125K and $150K. In Brandt’s view, this could be the final leg of this cycle’s bull run. Notably, with Bitcoin trading around $96,000, the road to $150K would represent a 56% gain from current levels.
Further, the chart also identified multiple classic technical patterns such as Head & Shoulders (H&S), Channels (Chnl), and Expanding Triangles (Exp). All of these formations historically preceded major price movements for Bitcoin, both bearish and bullish.

Notably, Brandt’s timing for the end of Bitcoin’s bull run aligns with typical historical cycles where price peaks occur 12–18 months after a halving event. With the last halving in April 2024, the August–September 2025 timeframe fits within that expected window.

Essentially, Brandt’s price prediction model echoes previous market cycle trends, which also highlight the potential for a typical post-bull correction.
A 50%+ Correction May Follow
While the bullish scenario excites many investors, Brandt also warns of what comes after the euphoria: a sharp decline. His forecast includes an over 50% correction following the cycle peak. This could drag BTC back to the $60K–$75K range, aligning with the historical retracements in past cycles.
At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $96,862, up over 3% today, showing determination to reclaim higher levels.

XRP continues to see subdued price performance despite bullish fundamentals. Amid these conditions, some in the community are urging patience, not panic.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

A recent post from XRP commentator “All Things XRP” emphasized the token’s long-term value proposition. He argued that the current frustration might indicate investors are still early.
XRP’s Slow Moves, Growing Doubts
The message begins by acknowledging the growing frustration across the XRP community. Price action has remained largely stagnant despite Ripple’s global partnerships and high-level integrations.

While XRP has been up 5.12% over the past month, the coin is still down 27% in the last 90 days. During this period, XRP has seen major business and regulatory announcements that many believe should have pushed the price to a new all-time high. 
Instead, the impact has been minimal. This lack of movement has renewed frustration among holders.
The System Is the Problem, Not XRP
Meanwhile, prominent voices in the community, such as All Things XRP, argue that there’s no need for anxiety. He reminded investors of the fundamental reason they are holding XRP.
Specifically, All Things XRP pointed to recent remarks from Eric Trump, son of pro-crypto U.S. president Donald Trump.
In a CNBC interview, Eric Trump criticized the inefficiencies of traditional banking. He described SWIFT as “an absolute disaster” and highlighted the outdated architecture of legacy systems.

Eric emphasized that the current financial system is slow, broken, and expensive to use. He cited how users often worry when making transfers on a Friday, wondering if the transaction will clear before the 4 PM cut-off.
He also shared the example that it could take up to 120 days to get a mortgage from a bank that a customer has used for 25 years, a delay that can crush dreams.
Eric added that while traditional bank transfers come with high fees, delays, and uncertainty, decentralized finance (DeFi) offers speed, transparency, and low costs.
He concluded by warning that if banks don’t adapt to the changes ahead, they could be extinct in 10 years.
All Things XRP cited these statements to give XRP holders renewed optimism about the crucial utility the token provides.
Ripple and XRP: The Solution to a Broken System
Ripple’s mission, powered by the XRP Ledger, directly addresses the systemic flaws in SWIFT and other outdated systems. From cross-border payments to tokenized asset transfers, XRP is positioned as a tool to modernize a broken financial infrastructure.
The commentator emphasized that the XRP community isn’t just holding a token; they’re holding a piece of the future. And that future is slowly developing.
Patience Is the Price of Being Early
The post concludes with a message of resilience. It stressed that this isn’t the time to panic over XRP’s price. Instead, it’s the time to “understand what you’re really holding.”
Other community pundits share this view. Some even speculate that XRP’s lackluster performance may be a deliberate ploy to shake out retail investors. Based on this speculation, they urge patience.

A prominent XRP community commentator calls attention to XRP’s future potential, insisting current investors are still early.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

Despite XRP’s recent struggles, sentiment within its core community remains bullish. The asset has seen a sharp 33% drop from its yearly high of $3.30 recorded in January 2025, currently trading around $2.20. 
However, it still maintains a year-to-date gain of 6%, demonstrating resilience amid a broader market downturn. Amid the current market conditions, experts and prominent community voices argue that XRP is far from reaching its full potential.
XRP Still in Early Growth Phase
Edoardo Farina, founder of Alpha Lions Academy, is one of the voices championing the asset’s long-term outlook. Farina has consistently pushed the narrative that XRP is in its early growth phase, despite being over a decade old. 
In a recent analysis of XRP wallet data, he suggested that the majority of the global population has yet to engage with the token in any meaningful way.
Farina revealed that while there are about 6.4 million XRP wallets, this number does not directly translate to 6.4 million individual holders. 

Only 1 in 5,000 People Globally Hold XRP
Essentially, many users, including himself, own multiple wallets. According to Farina’s disclosure, he personally holds between 20 to 25 XRP wallet addresses. This is part of a diversification and self-custody strategy that most experienced holders commonly practice.
Based on his analysis with aid from AI estimations, Farina asserts that only about 1.5 to 2 million people worldwide actively hold XRP. When he filtered this further to exclude inactive, dust-filled, or custodial exchange wallets, the number of unique holders dropped even lower. 

Notably, he estimates that the true number could be closer to 1 million global holders. Considering the global population of over 8 billion, this would mean that only about 0.018% to 0.025% of people, roughly one in every 4,000 to 5,000, currently own XRP.
The figures indicate what Farina describes as an extraordinary opportunity. According to him, many investors fail to grasp just how early they are in XRP’s adoption lifecycle. Importantly, Farina emphasized that even with its long existence, XRP remains significantly underheld on a global scale.
Farina Wants Investors to Consolidate Their XRP Holdings
Citing further on-chain data, Farina pointed out that 2.6 million wallets contain up to 20 XRP each, barely meeting the network’s minimum reserve requirement. Another 2.5 million wallets hold between 20 and 500 XRP, with an average estimate of around 250 XRP per wallet. 
If XRP’s price ever hit $1,000, a speculative but commonly discussed scenario, holders in this bracket could be looking at gains of $250,000. Still, Farina argues that the number of individuals who will hold long enough to reach such levels is likely very small, possibly only 10% of current holders.
He also highlighted that to be among the top 10% of XRP wallet addresses today, an investor would only need to own about 2,500 XRP. At current market prices, this equates to approximately $5,000. 
Notably, he believes this shows how early adopters still have a chance to position themselves before potential mass adoption occurs. Farina has consistently advocated for this accumulation culture, repeatedly calling on investors to hold at least 10,000 XRP tokens.
According to his latest disclosure, institutional adoption and use cases such as lending XRP to financial entities are still in their infancy. He urged investors to develop long-term strategies and stay committed, especially as mainstream participation remains limited.

Dan Tapiero, the founder of 10T Holdings, recently commented on the immense anticipation around the launch of spot XRP ETFs in the United States.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto
 
Tapiero made this disclosure during a recent interview. A popular XRP community figure known by the pseudonym ‘SMQKE’ sharedan excerpt of Tapiero’s remark, particularly focusing on his XRP ETF commentary. 
Why Investors Are Anticipating XRP ETF 
According to Tapiero, many investors are looking forward to the launch of the XRP ETF because it is ‘Made in America.’ His reasoning stems from the fact that XRP is closely affiliated with Ripple, a crypto payments company headquartered in San Francisco. 
XRP’s affiliation with Ripple makes many, like Tapiero, believe it is homegrown compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, which many consider offshore assets. In Tapiero’s view, XRP’s domestic pedigree makes it attractive to investors looking to invest in ‘Made in America’ financial instruments, including an ETF. 
As a result, the founder of 10T Holdings suggests that many people are anticipating the launch of XRP ETFs. 
Current Status of XRP ETF  
For context, the SEC is still reviewing 11 applications for spot XRP ETFs. The regulator recently postponed its decision on Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF filing, which is now due next month. 
Nonetheless, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart suggests that the SEC has a final deadline of October 17 to decide whether to approve the multiple XRP ETF applications on its desk. 

In the meantime, optimism remains high that at least one XRP ETF will be approved this year. Specifically, Bloomberg experts set its chances at 85%. 
This optimism is due to multiple factors, including the potential resolution of the Ripple lawsuit, XRP’s non-security classification, and its regulated futures product. 
Tapiero Respects XRP’s Survival Ability 
Further, Tapiero noted that even though he is not a big fan of XRP, he still respects the coin’s ability to survive. It is common knowledge that XRP ensured a lengthy legal tussle between the SEC and Ripple, which commenced in late 2020. 
During the peak of the lawsuit, the coin lost a significant chunk of its value, especially as several U.S. trading platforms like Coinbase delisted it.
However, these platforms re-listed XRP in July 2023 after a New York federal judge declared XRP a non-security. Despite this, XRP’s price still struggled until after the 2024 U.S. election, which led to the emergence of pro-crypto advocate Donald Trump as President. 
At the time, the news of the former SEC chairman resigning and a potential resolution of the lawsuit against Ripple led to the massive XRP price spike. Specifically, the coin hit $3.34 on January 20, the same day Gary Gensler resigned.
Although XRP has plunged 34.43% to $2.19, market watchers still expect remarkable surges to lofty targets this year. This projection is due to the positive developments surrounding XRP. They include its potential inclusion in the U.S. crypto stockpile and the imminent resolution of the Ripple lawsuit. 
10T Holdings Founder Praises Ripple CEO 
Meanwhile, the 10T Holdings founder praised Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, for his ‘hard work’ on behalf of the broader crypto industry. Tapiero particularly cited his pushback on the Gary Gensler-led SEC’s enforcement stance. 
He also commended the Ripple CEO for cultivating relationships with President Trump before and after the election. The relationship likely helped soften the crypto industry’s regulatory challenges and opened the road for ETF approval.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has presented his personal roadmap for 2025, highlighting the direction he believes the Ethereum ecosystem should head. 
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

Buterin disclosed this in a recent post on the decentralized social platform Warpcast. His focus covers concepts around deep infrastructure upgrades to ideas about how Ethereum can support open technology and societal resilience.
Ethereum L1 Long-Term Roadmap
One of Buterin’s top priorities is making Ethereum’s base layer-1 faster, leaner, and more secure. A major part of this is something called single-slot finality, which would reduce the time it takes for Ethereum transactions to become final from around 15 minutes to just a few seconds. 

The proposed method would rely on “supercommittees” of about 125,000 validators to improve the process. While this may sound ambitious, it comes with trade-offs that will need careful handling to avoid weakening the network’s security.

Meanwhile, the Ethereum co-founder is also thinking long-term about the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the core engine that runs smart contracts. Buterin wants it to evolve to support newer cryptographic tools better and work more smoothly with scaling technologies like rollups.
Notably, the move toward a “stateless” Ethereum, where validators don’t need to store the entire history of the blockchain, could make running a node more accessible and encourage greater decentralization.
Full-Stack Security and Privacy
Also, Buterin has not forgotten Ethereum’s roots in decentralization and resilience, especially after past security setbacks like the 2016 DAO hack. He stressed that upgrades should always preserve the core values of security and openness, as the network scales and modernizes.
Security and privacy also feature in his 2025 focus, but not just at the protocol level.Buterin wants stronger protection all the way up the stack, from smart contracts to wallets to apps. 

He’s pushing for more robust open-source practices and tools that minimize the need for centralized intermediaries, which areoften weak points in the system. 
In addition, privacy is getting more attention too, with technologies like zero-knowledge proofs, which are essential to keeping Ethereum users safe in an environment where governments and corporations are increasingly tracking online behavior.
Buterin also discussed what he calls “decentralized accelerationism,” or d/acc. For context, it is a response to today’s fast-moving tech landscape, which looks to keep power in the hands of users and communities, not corporations. 
Essentially, this means building decentralized communication tools, better governance systems, and more funding models for public goods. 
Other Important Areas
He’s also paying attention to areas like cryptography, open-source operating systems, and even bio-defense. These are fields where Ethereum and blockchain tech might help in making systems more secure and transparent. 
Meanwhile, he admitted to being less directly involved in some research areas, such as ongoing work in consensus design, peer-to-peer networking, and layer-2 hardware solutions. He also called attention to developments such as Danksharding and zkEVM, which are central to Ethereum’s scalability roadmap and could increase throughput by 2026.

XRP price predictions for 2050 from multiple sources suggest the asset could actually rally 106,000% to an ambitious four-digit price in the most bullish case.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

XRP has continued to experience bearish pressure following a brief recovery attempt that temporarily lifted its price above $2.30. The asset encountered a modest correction as the broader market’s rebound momentum weakened, and it now trades at $2.25. 
Despite this extended consolidation at the $2.20 mark, an area where it has lingered for several weeks, bullish sentiment around XRP remains strong. Many market watchers still believe the asset could reach massive price levels in the long term, particularly by 2050.

To better understand what lies ahead, we examined long-term XRP price predictions from various sources, including AI models like ChatGPT from OpenAI and Grok from xAI, along with analysts at crypto platforms Telegaon and Changelly. 
ChatGPT’s XRP Price Predictions for 2050
In response, ChatGPT presented multiple possible scenarios based on varying growth rates and levels of adoption. In a conservative case where XRP experiences modest adoption and regulatory caution, the asset could grow by around 5% annually to reach $7.50 by 2050. 

That would represent a 233% increase from the current price of $2.25. A more moderate outlook with a 10% annual growth rate, supported by rising partnerships and adoption of Ripple’s technology, could push XRP to between $24 and $30, marking a potential surge of 967% to 1,233%.
However, in a high adoption scenario, where XRP becomes a core part of cross-border payments with widespread regulatory approval, ChatGPT sees prices between $120 and $150. This would translate to an increase of over 5,233% to 6,567%. 

Interestingly, ChatGPT’s most ambitious estimate comes from an extreme bullish case where XRP has an important role in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) or the global financial system, predicting a speculative price above $500. This would mark an astounding rise of more than 22,000%.

Conversely, ChatGPT suggested that if XRP becomes obsolete due to better technologies or faces harsh regulatory setbacks, the price could fall below $1 or even approach zero.
Predictions from Grok, Changelly andTelegaon
Meanwhile, Grok AI made similar projections. In a bullish scenario where XRP gains mass adoption across financial sectors and benefits from global regulatory clarity, it could reach between $50 and $150. At the upper end of this range, the asset would rise 6,567% from its current value. 
However, a moderate scenario, assuming steady growth but facing competition from CBDCs and other technologies, places the 2050 price between $10 and $30, a growthof 344% to 1,233%.

Further, if the asset faced lower growth rates due to market or legal challenges, Grok estimates XRP price would only climb to between $1 and $5, or experience a modest decline to a 122% increase at most.
Analysts at crypto resource Telegaon are also bullish on XRP. The platform’s analysts suggest XRP could reach a minimum price of $236.18 by 2050, with an average price of $252.43 and a potential peak of $285.56. Hitting this maximum would require a staggering 12,602% surge from today’s price.

Meanwhile, Changelly analysts were the most optimistic. They expect XRP to open 2050 at a minimum of $1,667, potentially reaching as high as $2,409 by the end of the year. This scenario implies an extraordinary increase of over 106,000%, a figure unmatched by any other prediction examined.

Amid the range-bound movements observed by XRP, a notable market pundit has argued that the altcoin will not remain in the current region forever.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

This commentary came from Edoardo Farina, Alpha Lions Academy Founder and Head of Social Adoption at XRPHealthcare, as he continues to highlight XRP’s resilience and potential to claim greater heights despite the current market uncertainties.
XRP Will Not Remain at $2.2 Forever
For context, over the past few weeks, XRP has continued to consolidate around the $2 mark, often surging beyond $2.2 during a rebound push, but facing resistance that brings it back to this level and subsequently below it. Most recently, XRP rose to $2.36 on April 28 but has now corrected to the $2.2 level, specifically trading at $2.28 at press time.
🕰️
Amid this persistent market uncertainty, Farina believes the bearish pressure that often pushes XRP back to $2.2 and subsequently below this mark will not prevail forever. According to the market pundit, XRP will not stay at the $2.2 region forever.

Farina added an interesting comment to his disclosure, suggesting that this commentary was a warning. Specifically, the pundit might have directed the warning to investors who have remained on the sidelines due to the belief that XRP will not push beyond this level. It might’ve also been directed to traders who have chosen to short the asset.
Interestingly, these shorts have dominated the scene in recent times. Earlier this month, analyst Koroush AK suggested that this period was the best time to short XRP, predicting further downsides. Before that, another trader, Cole Garner, advised others to short XRP. More recently, Crashius Clay suggested XRP has been one of his most obvious shorts. 
XRP’s Previous Struggles at $0.5
Notably, Farina’s recent commentary comes on the back of these increasing short positions, which would suffer massive liquidations once XRP secures a recovery. The pundit’s comment is a result of his confidence in XRP’s potential, as similar bearish sentiments emerged during XRP’s range-bound movements last year.
Specifically, the asset persistently struggled around the $0.5 to $0.6 range in 2024, leading to some critics branding it a stablecoin. However, when the market exploded, XRP saw the highest upside for any top 10 asset, breaking above the $1 and $2 levels in one fell sweep.
🧹
Now, with XRP consolidating around $2 to $2.2, similar bearish sentiments from when it traded at the $0.5 to $0.6 range have emerged. Abdullah Nassif, Host of The Good Morning Crypto Show, noted earlier this month that $2 now felt like the $0.5 level from last year.
Meanwhile, pundits like Farina, who areincreasingly confident that a rally beyond $2 will also emerge, believe investors should own at least 10,000 XRP to prepare for the projected uptrend.

Bitcoin is testing a crucial resistance level, breaking its downtrend as on-chain and technical data signal a potential market reset.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

Notably, Bitcoin’s recent price action has hovered between $92,000 and $96,000 this week, exhibiting a gradual upward slope after a period of range-bound movement. Despite short-lived dips—particularly around April 28—the asset has steadily recovered, above $95,000 by May 1.
However, technical and on-chain indicators suggest a deeper transformation underway in Bitcoin’s market structure. Analytic platforms are now pointing to a potential shift in the broader trend, as multiple metrics show signs of renewed strength and market resets.
Key Resistance Levels Identified
Notably, Glassnode has confirmed this outlook, noting how Bitcoin has broken above its downtrend line and is testing resistance between $93,000 and $95,000. This price band also marks the lower boundary of a broader consolidation range observed between November 2024 and February 2025.

Currently, the asset is now trading above both its 111-day moving average (111DMA) at $91,300 and the Short-Term Holder (STH) cost basis at $93,200. Historically, maintaining levels above these indicators has marked the difference between bullish from bearish phases.
Glassnode’s data shows that Bitcoin spent 56 out of the past 90 days below these levels, highlighting the duration of investor ‘time pain’ during the recent drawdown.

However, with the current breakout, the market appears to be exiting this zone of financial stress. This development suggests a potential reduction in realized losses, especially as price continues to consolidate within this critical band.
Momentum Indicators Show Recovery
Meanwhile, Glassnode provided further insight by segmenting Short-Term Holders into sub-groups based on holding duration. This cost-basis ribbon model reveals that investors holding Bitcoin for over one month have now moved into a profitable position.

As a result, the market has seen a marked decline in financial pressure among this group. Per Glassnode, if sustained, this momentum could continue to reduce volatility stemming from investor capitulation.
In parallel, the MVRV Ratio, which tracks unrealized profit or loss, has reverted to its long-term mean of 1.74. A similar pattern was observed during the previous consolidation phase in mid-2024. Notably, this reversion often serves as a base level for investor confidence. 

Other metrics such as the circulating supply, spending domains, and the SOPR metric also point to a turning point for the largest cryptocurrency.
Market Reset, Not Peak Euphoria
Elsewhere, data from CryptoQuant supports the profitability thesis. As of April 29, 91% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply was in profit, an increase from levels observed during the April correction.
CryptoQuant’s verified analyst Darkfost identified this rise as a sign of market strength. During earlier drawdowns, profit levels dropped near 75%, a threshold that often triggers broader sell-offs.
Despite the current profitability level exceeding 90%, which Darkfost links to the euphoria stage of a typical market cycle, no immediate pressure to sell has emerged.

Trader Tardigrade says Dogecoin pullback may be over, identifying repeated support levels that could take DOGE to a new all-time high.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

Dogecoin (DOGE) has shown moderate volatility over the past week, trading between $0.16 and $0.19. The price action saw an initial climb peaking near $0.19 on April 26 before reversing course and dipping to around $0.169 on April 30. 
As of today, the coin recovered slightly to $0.174. Despite these short-term fluctuations, recent technical analysis and on-chain metrics show the possibility of testing previous highs.
Historical Patterns Reinforce Structural Support
For instance, analyst Trader Tardigrade emphasized, in an X post, DOGE’s tendency to establish support at prior swing highs, as seen in a 3-day chart. 
Starting from late 2023, Dogecoin broke through the $0.098 resistance before retracing and validating that level as support in early 2024. This pattern continued in July 2024, where a swing high near $0.145 later acted as support in April 2025.
Specifically, Tardigrade’s chart pointed to February 2025, when DOGE reached a swing high of $0.29 before undergoing a steep correction. Notably, the asset returned to the $0.145 support level, consistent with earlier structural behavior. 
The analyst’s chart also showed that each time DOGE revisited such supports, it produced higher highs leading into new rallies. Following this completed pullback, the next projected resistance sits above $0.23, with a potential move toward $0.80 before another correction. Reaching this level should take Dogecoin above its previous all-time high of $0.73.

Active Addresses Are Growing 
Reinforcing these technical indicators, datafrom IntoTheBlock showed a sharp increase in Dogecoin’s network activity. Over the past week, new addresses climbed by 102.40%, while active addresses rose by 111.32%.
Zero balance addresses surged by 155.42%. This spike suggests increased user engagement and transactional interest, which some analysts consider supportive of bullish price action.

While the price remains below previous highs, the continuity of this network growth may help sustain DOGE’s current support levels. These trends appear to align with Tardigrade’s structural analysis, particularly regarding price recovery patterns following periods of high activity.
ABC Correction Completion Adds to Bullish Setup
Separately, analyst MasterAnanda offered another technical perspective via TradingView on April 27. The analysis identified a completed ABC correction beginning from Dogecoin’s December 8, 2024, high of $0.4846. The initial wave marked a 46% drop to $0.2626, followed by a 66% rebound to $0.4350. The C-wave then completed with a 70% fall to $0.1298.
Since reaching this local support, DOGE has rebounded significantly. According to MasterAnanda, the asset now trades well below its previous peak and is positioned for an impulsive rally. The projected target is $0.703.

Michael Saylor has suggested that Bitcoin would have reached seven to eight figures before mainstream professional advisors start to embrace the asset. 👍

Bitcoin’s adoption is expanding at an astronomical rate globally. The pioneering cryptocurrency has transcended its earlier status as a bubble to inclusion in the reserve assets of prominent institutions and is now scaling towards national adoption.
Interestingly, its price has also increased in tandem with this traction, with Bitcoin surging from its low of around $19,000 following the 2022 market crash to an all-time high of $109,000. While these statistics look impressive, a recent analysis has highlighted that Bitcoin still has more ground to cover, especially among top-tier wealth managers.
Over $31T in Wealth Still Locked Away from Bitcoin
Crypto investment firm Tephra Digital shared interesting statistics on exposure to Bitcoin among top US wealth managers. The research tracked the disposition of professional financial advisors toward Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds, which were launched over a year ago.
While the investment vehicles experienced astronomical traction in their first full year, with the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF becoming the most successful ETF launch in history, a considerable number of top-tier wealth managers still either restrict or entirely prohibit clients from buying Bitcoin. Specifically, over $31 trillion in wealth is still inaccessible to Bitcoin in the United States.
Meanwhile, the data, which Tephra drew from direct conversation with financial advisors, highlighted that inflows worth a staggering $10.32 trillion are locked away due to exposure prohibitions. Notable wealth managers in this category include Vanguard, Edward Jones, and Citibank.
Furthermore, the Bitcoin ETFs would have had access to nearly $21 trillion in wealth had some prominent firms not placed an embargo on exposure to the product. For perspective, while financial advisors like Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs have allowed exposure to Bitcoin ETFs, they have restricted exposure by requiring clients to meet specific criteria.
By the time your financial adviser says it’s OK to buy Bitcoin, it’ll cost $1 million. When they say it’s a good idea, it’ll be $10 million.

Michael Saylor Suggests Inexposure Will Cost Top Clients
Reacting to the data, the Strategy chairman insisted that before financial advisors rescind from the cautious Bitcoin adoption, the asset would have surged extensively. In his words, Bitcoin would have already hit $1 million at the time wealth managers say it’s okay to buy and $10 million when they recognize the cryptocurrency’s exceptional qualities.

The comment highlighted Bitcoin’s potential for growth and how early adoption would benefit its holders. According to Saylor, waiting for prominent wealth managers to thoroughly recommend the asset before exposure could be detrimental.
Nonetheless, easing regulatory policies and a friendlier environment in the United States could be a game changer in mainstream Bitcoin adoption. Under the Trump administration, the industry has made significant advances, with crypto and stablecoin frameworks already gaining momentum.

Analyst Scient highlights a bullish flag formation on the weekly XRP chart, signaling a potential continuation of the uptrend.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

Notably, XRP’s short-term outlook has improved in recent days, with the price showing a clear pattern of higher highs and higher lows. From April 22 to 28, XRP gained momentum, rallying toward $2.30 before experiencing a retracement that brought it slightly above $2.10. 
Over the past 24 hours, XRP has recorded a 4.6% increase, highlighting the strengthening bullish sentiment.

Amid this movement, several market participants, including technical analysts and industry experts, have shared both near-term and long-term projections for XRP’s trajectory.
Bull Flag Formation Targets $10
Data from Scient’s weekly XRP chart reflects a strengthening bullish structure. Reviewing the data shows that they spent most of 2024 consolidating between $0.50 and $0.60 before executing a powerful breakout late in the year.
During this breakout phase, XRP moved sharply from under $0.38 to a high close to $3.30, with minimal pullbacks observed during the rally. Notably, this rapid ascent led to the formation of the asset’s flagpole, setting the foundation for the bull flag structure.

Following the ascent, XRP entered a consolidation period extending several months into 2025. The crypto asset traded within a narrow range between $1.60 and $3.30, with neither buyers nor sellers establishing control. According to his chart, this consolidation resulted in the formation of the pennant (flag), confirming the complete bull flag pattern.
The characteristics supporting the bull flag interpretation include shrinking candle sizes, lower volatility, and the formation of well-defined support and resistance levels. Based on this technical setup, Scient forecasts a potential top target of $10 for XRP, a move that would represent a 338.6% increase from the current price point of $2.28.
Resistance Levels Remain Crucial 
Meanwhile, CasiTrades provided further insight into the weekend trading activity, emphasizing the importance of critical resistance levels. She noted that XRP briefly spiked on Sunday following the circulation of an outdated ETF article, which some readers misinterpreted as new information. 

Despite the temporary surge, XRP faced rejection after failing to sustain momentum above the key $2.24 resistance zone, peaking instead at $2.27 before retreating.
Casi Trades highlighted that XRP must reclaim and close above $2.24 to preserve its bullish momentum, especially during typically volatile weekend sessions characterized by lower liquidity. 
She added that weekend moves often exaggerate price action, urging a focus on clean technical structures instead of reacting to speculative headlines.
Long-Term XRP Prediction
Separately, CryptoGuard COO Matthew Brienen outlined an ambitious long-term valuation framework for XRP during the inaugural edition of the ‘Ask Matty Show.’ Brienen disclosed that XRP comprises 50% of his crypto portfolio, having steadily accumulated the asset since 2020 through dollar-cost averaging.
In the short term, Brienen plans to gradually reduce his holdings over the next few years to lock in potential gains from the 2024-2025 cycle. However, he also revealed that he would retain part of his XRP position for 5 to 10 years, citing XRP’s use case in cross-border settlements.
According to Brienen, XRP’s rapid transaction speeds and minimal fees position it favorably for remittance markets. As a result, he projects that XRP could reach price levels between $100 and $1,000 over the next decade.

2025 Launch 🚀
Nate Geraci, the President of the ETF Store, highlights how dramatic market expectations for spot crypto ETFs have shifted within a year.  🚀
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

In a tweet today, Geraci highlighted how there was no spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) for Ethereum just a year ago. At the time, several asset managers had filed to launch spot Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. However, the SEC, under the leadership of Gary Gensler, was reluctant to approve any of the applications.
Amid this, many industry commentators ruled out that spot ETH ETFs had zero chance of approval. This belief stemmed from the SEC’s attempt to label ETH a security following its investigation of Ethereum software development firm ConsenSys. 

If the SEC had successfully given ETH the securities tag, it may not have approved an ETF for the coin. However, the SEC’s approach toward the multiple Ethereum ETFs changed by mid-May 2024, as the regulator actively engaged with the applications. It subsequently approved nine spot Ethereum ETFs from multiple asset managers on May 23, 2024. 
Major Shift in Market Expectations for Altcoin ETFs 
Meanwhile, subsequent filings for altcoin ETFs like Solana emerged, but the SEC refrained from engaging with the applications. The prospective issuers had to withdraw their applications.
Now, under the new SEC leadership, Geraci believes the industry consensus is that the regulator would approve the launch of multiple ETFs tied to blue-chip altcoins like XRP, SOL, DOGE, and LTC this year. 
This marks a major shift from the industry’s expectations a year ago, before spot Ethereum ETFs went live. So far, several asset managers have applied with the U.S. SEC to launch spot ETFs exclusively tied to these altcoins. 
Latest Approval Odds for XRP, DOGE, LTC, and SOL ETFs 
Recent data from Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas shows that the possibility of these altcoin ETFs launching before the end of 2025 has increased drastically since February. 

Per the latest data, Litecoin and Solana ETFs have the highest odds of launching this year, with each having a 90% chance. The odds of Litecoin ETFs have remained unchanged since February. However, the approval probability for Solana ETF spiked from 70% to 90% within two months. 
Similarly, XRP ETFs’ approval probability also skyrocketed to 85% in the latest data, up from 65% recorded earlier this year. For Dogecoin ETFs, the probability of these funds launching in 2025 currently stands at 80%, marking an increase from 75% in February.  
This optimism is driven by the SEC’s view of each altcoin as a commodity rather than a security. The altcoins also have separate CFTC-regulated futures products trading in the market. 

Final Deadline 
The data also notes that the SEC must approve or disapprove these altcoin ETFs in Q4 2025, specifically by October 2025. 
The final decision deadline for Litecoin ETFs is October 2, 2025. On the other hand, the Bloomberg data highlights October 10 as the final deadline for the SEC decision on Solana ETFs. XRP and Dogecoin ETFs have the same decision deadline of October 17, 2025.

XRP’s price could reach greater heights if XRP ETFs secure only a fraction of Bitcoin ETF inflows following their approval.
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

The potential approval of spot XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in the United States could lead to massive price implications for the asset. With XRP’s regulatory hurdles largely resolved and institutional appetite on the rise, the odds of approval have increased.
Interestingly, Polymarket sets an 80% chance of an XRP ETF approval this year, up from 68% just a week ago. As market participants anticipate these products, most expect a bullish impact on XRP price, especially if they record similar success to Bitcoin ETFs.

XRP Price if XRP ETFs Get 15-30% of Bitcoin ETF Inflows
For context, data from Sosovalue indicates that Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated approximately $39 billion in net inflows since their introduction in January 2024. If XRP ETFs capture just 15% to 30% of that figure, the price of XRP could skyrocket.
For instance, assuming XRP ETFs attract 15% of Bitcoin’s ETF inflows, this would equate to $5.85 billion entering XRP-focused funds. Applying a modest inflow-to-valuation multiplier of 100x, this $5.85 billion could boost XRP’s market cap by $585 billion. 
Notably, when added to the current market cap of around $130 billion, the new total valuation would reach $715 billion. Meanwhile, XRP’s circulating supply currently stands at 58.44 billion tokens. Factoring in this figure would place the price at about $12.23 per token. That represents a 450% surge from its current trading price of $2.22.
However, doubling that share to 30% of Bitcoin ETF inflows would have even more dramatic implications. This higher percentage would result in $11.7 billion in net capital moving into XRP ETFs. This would lead to a $1.17 trillion increase in XRP’s total valuation by applying the same 100x multiplier.
When combined with the existing $130 billion market cap, XRP’s valuation could climb to about $1.3 trillion. This new valuation yields an XRP price of $22.2, considering the supply of 58.44 billion tokens. Such an increase would mark a nearly 900% appreciation from today’s price.
XRP ETF Developments
While these projections rely on assumptions, the growing interest in XRP ETF products supports the idea that institutional investment could flood the market once approvals are granted. Bitwise CIO previously confirmed they are witnessing large demand for an XRP ETF.
Notably, the ETF scene for XRP has seen rapid developments throughout 2024 and 2025. Teucrium Investment Advisors led the way by launching the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF on April 8, offering leveraged exposure to XRP’s daily price swings. 
Interestingly, ProShares also recently received the green light to launch a suite of futures-based ETFs, including leveraged and inverse offerings. However, these products rely on derivatives, not direct holdings of XRP.
Despite the momentum, no spot XRP ETF has been approved yet. Multiple firms, such as Bitwise, 21Shares, WisdomTree, and Franklin Templeton, have submitted applications. 
Among them, Franklin Templeton recently experienced a delay when the U.S. SEC announced on April 29 that it was extending the review period for the company’s spot XRP ETF proposal. 
Crucially, the potential conclusion of the Ripple vs. SEC case would bolster the chances of approval. Also, several firms, including Bitnomial, Coinbase, and CME Group have introduced CFTC-regulated XRP futures. This further helps the cause of an XRP ETF launch.

Bullish predictions from top market watchers suggest that an investment of $1,000 in Shiba Inu today could generate remarkable gains for investors in the next five years. 
Follow @Lachakari_Crypto

As crypto investors continue to seek high-return opportunities, many are turning their attention to assets like SHIB, which they believe have the potential to surge significantly during the next bull market.
This optimism in Shiba Inu remains despite SHIB’s price plunging by 27% in the last three months. The canine-themed token has suffered a more devastating 36.8% year-to-date.

Yet, some investors are unbothered by SHIB’s short-term price action. Interestingly, they anticipate a more impressive Shiba Inu price performance over the next five years, specifically by 2030. 
This timeline comes two years after the next Bitcoin halving event, slated for 2028. Like previous halving events, the next one could usher in strong gains for BTC and altcoins, including SHIB.  
Potential Shiba Inu Price By 2030 
With investors keeping an eye on 2030, this article presents some bullish Shiba Inu predictions for this timeline. Experts affiliated with crypto trading platform Changelly predict that Shiba Inu will eliminate a zero from its price and reach a maximum target of $0.000158 per token by 2030. This represents a jaw-dropping surge of 1,085% from where Shiba Inu currently trades at $0.00001333. 
On the other hand, the prediction platform Telegaon forecasts that SHIB will surpass the price level projected by Changelly for 2030. Telegaon expects the price of SHIB to rise to $0.000712 by 2030, marking an increase of 5,241% from the current price. 

As previously reported, a group of 26 industry experts projected that Shiba Inu would trade at $0.0001971 by 2030. Hitting this target demands a massive spike of 1,378% from its current price. 
What a $1,000 Investment in SHIB Today Could Be Worth by 2030
Based on these projections, we can estimate the potential returns on a $1,000 investment in Shiba Inu today. At the current price of $0.00001333, $1,000 would buy approximately 75,018,754 SHIB tokens.Recent data from IntoTheBlock suggests that 82,600 on-chain addresses hold a minimum of $1,000 in Shiba Inu. 
If Changelly’s prediction of $0.000158 materializes by 2030, an investment of $1,000 in SHIB today would surge to $11,852, representing an ROI of nearly $11,000. 
Similarly, these investors would also see their $1,000 stake in Shiba Inu climb to roughly $14,786 if Finder’s price projection of $0.0001971 comes to fruition by 2030, yielding a return of $13,700. 
Lastly, should Telegaon’s prediction come to pass and SHIB clinches an ambitious target of $0.000712 by 2030, patient investors would see their $1,000 stake grow to $53,413, an audacious return of over $52,000.
