Recent highlights in the crypto space: Corporate Bitcoin holdings have doubled, XRP's historical cycles suggest a surge, Chainlink wallet growth hit new highs, and several potential projects are worth attention.
Companies are accelerating their accumulation of #Bitcoin: From tech giants to SPACs, all are entering the market.
The trend of publicly traded companies accumulating Bitcoin continues to heat up. Data shows that from December 2024 to June 2025, the number of publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin increased from 70 to 134, nearly doubling in just six months. These companies span 27 countries, with a total holding of 244,991 Bitcoins.
Tech giant Google has become the latest entrant, currently holding 14% of Bitcoin miner TeraWulf's shares and providing a $3.2 billion guarantee.
TeraWulf has simultaneously reached a 10-year data center hosting agreement with an AI infrastructure company, with a total contract capacity exceeding 360 megawatts, locking in $6.7 billion in revenue (potentially reaching $16 billion after lease extensions).
Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya also launched a $250 million SPAC (American Exceptionalism Acquisition Corp A), focusing on decentralized finance, artificial intelligence, and other fields, planning to go public under the AEXA code.
Although he once stated that 'crypto is dead in the U.S.', this layout shows renewed optimism towards the crypto sector.
XRP's historical cycles are repeating: Analysts predict a potential increase of 777% to $28
#XRP has recently fluctuated around $3, but analyst EGRAG predicts a potential surge in September 2025 based on historical data. Historically, XRP has shown a 'double top cycle' twice in an upward channel:
• 2017: Rose from the $0.049-$0.069 range to $0.398, then surged to $3.30 after 6 months of consolidation;
• 2020: After returning to the channel, it rose to $0.79, then rebounded to $1.96 after consolidation.
The current cycle is very similar to historical highs: After returning to an upward channel in 2024, it rose to $3.40 in January 2025 (the first peak), then consolidated for 6 months before recently rising above $3. If the trend continues, it may reach a second peak in 8 months (September 2025), with a target price of $28.16, representing a 777% increase from current levels. This prediction aligns with another analyst, CrediBULL, who believes XRP's trend fits the Bitcoin Elliott Wave cycle, supporting the bullish logic.
Chainlink hits a 7-month high: Is $30 just the starting point?
Chainlink (#LINK) rose nearly 15% in the past week, breaking through the $25-26 resistance zone, hitting a 7-month high, with the current trading price around $24.2.
The upward momentum comes from multiple positive factors:
• Whale accumulation: In the past 7 days, large holders have accumulated 1.1 million LINK (approximately $27 million), with the top 100 wallets increasing their holdings by over 12%;
• Ecological growth: Nearly 9,600 new LINK wallets were added in mid-August, with daily active addresses making over 9,800 transactions, both hitting new highs for 2025;
• Physical asset layout: Launching ETF and stock data sources, collaborating with giants like the Intercontinental Exchange and SWIFT, consolidating the bridge position between traditional finance and blockchain.
Analysts believe the next resistance level is at $29-30; if it breaks through the mid-term target, it could reach $33-38, and in the long term, possibly rise above $57.
