Expectations for XRP's Price, Binance Updates, and More: Crypto Roundup for July 4th

Despite a daily decline of 2.5%, experts remain optimistic about XRP's price, with predictions ranging from a 15% breakout to $2.65 to an unprecedented surge to $30. Binance has recently added Newton Protocol (NEWT) and Sahara AI (SAHARA) to its VIP Loan program, though these additions have been followed by significant price corrections.

The exchange also eliminated several trading pairs, negatively impacting FIO most significantly. Binance now offers new staking options for SOL-related tokens. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading just below $109,000 after closing Q2 at a record $107,500. Predictions for BTC's price range from a rally to $120,000 to a short-term drop to $90,000 due to potential US liquidity shifts, though long-term bullish views persist.
