🗞️ News and Updates

    It has been announced that there is5 million WCT will be distributed to users of the Solana network (such as Phantom, Solflare, Backpack) as part of the multichain expansion strategy. (Bitget)

    This move gives WCT greater access to Solana network users and increases usage and interaction possibilities. (Bitget)

  2. Inclusion and support on multiple Binance networks

    Binance has added support for depositing and withdrawing WCT via the Solana network, making it easier to handle the token and increasing liquidity. (Coinfomania)

    Also, it was listed on Coinbase on the Optimism network after meeting liquidity conditions. (CoinMarketCap)

  3. Distributions and rewards

    Several millions of WCT have been distributed as rewards, and there are programs for earning rewards (staking/governance) on the WalletConnect network to activate the role of token holders. (CoinMarketCap)

  4. Partial transferability + liquidity

    Previously, the token was not fully transferable, but after enabling transferability, trading opportunities and thus liquidity increased. (Blockchain News)


📈 Potential impact and challenges



  • Positive: Network expansion and increasing the number of networks supported by WCT contribute to attracting greater liquidity and new customers, which may raise the price in the medium term.


    Negative/Risk: If a large quantity of new tokens is issued or if a large distribution is launched at an inappropriate time, it may pressure the price.



    Also, the actual adoption of projects and the actual integration with applications is considered the key to long-term success, not just statements.



🔹 XRP (Ripple) — Latest news and trends


🗞️ News and updates


  1. Strong recovery after market decline

    XRP saw a clear rebound, recovering about 30 billion dollars in market value after a decline caused by trade tariff concerns. The price moved from ~2.37 $ to ~2.58 $. (coindesk.com)

    This recovery represented a strong segment, driven by institutional buying (dip buying) according to reports. (coindesk.com)

  2. Legal issues with SEC

    Ripple reached a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It will pay 50 million dollars as a reduced fine instead of the larger original amount and halt some legal pathways. (Reuters)

    However, later, the court rejected the request to reduce the amount to 50 million and upheld the original fine of 125 million, with some restrictions on XRP sales to institutions. (Reuters)

  3. Strategic acquisition

    Ripple announced its acquisition of the brokerage firm "Hidden Road" for about 1.25 billion dollars, aiming to integrate post-trade services into the XRP Ledger infrastructure and strengthen its position in the institutional space. (Barron's)

    This type of step reflects Ripple's desire to expand and integrate into traditional finance. (Barron's)

  4. Extreme price predictions

    Some analyses suggest that XRP could target very high price ranges (like 15-27 dollars) if support and continuity in the upward trend are restored. (Brave New Coin)

    But conversely, there are cautionary forecasts for a slight decline in the short term—such as a projected drop of ~-2.93% in one analytical model. (changelly.com)

  5. Technical analysis and warnings

    There are articles suggesting that XRP may be in a fragile position after breaking important support and needs new momentum to regain the upward trend. (CryptoPotato)


📈 Potential impact and challenges



  • Positive: The settlement with the SEC and the resolution of the legal dispute reduces regulatory risks that have been a barrier for investors.


    Acquiring financial companies enhances confidence that Ripple intends to transform itself into a true institutional player, not just a digital currency.


    Negative/Risk: If XRP fails to maintain its current support or if new regulatory pressures arise, it may decline again.


    Extremely high price forecasts may be exaggerated if not supported by actual implementations on the ground (credits, partnerships, real usage).



🧮 Summary


WCT is in an important expansion phase: entering new networks, distributing rewards, and improving usability. But the price will actually depend on the level of adoption and real demand.


XRP seems to have entered a rebuilding phase after legal disputes, with strong opportunities if the upward momentum continues, but remains under pressure from regulatory risks and dependencies.
