We’ve been watching for strength to return to DeFi, and now $LISTA is making the statement.
+10.95% move from $0.1618 to $0.1854 isn’t just price action — it’s capital rotation. Volume confirms intent: 13.08M and rising. Key breakout level now sits at $0.1864. Break that, and we’re eyeing $0.1900–$0.1950+ fast.
With stablecoin narratives heating up and altcoin ETF delays drawing capital back into real utility, LISTA fits right into the sweet spot: undervalued, liquid, and gaining traction fast.
Stay ahead. The ones who spot narrative flow early always win.

$USDC BANKS CAN'T IGNORE XRP ANYMORE!
Banks are indeed taking notice of XRP, and here's why:
Utility in Cross-Border Payments: XRP's on-demand liquidity function and fast settlement times make it an attractive solution for banks. Ripple's network processes real transactions, providing faster and cheaper solutions than traditional payment systems.
Growing Adoption: Major banks are already using Ripple's technology and integrating it into global finance. This shift signals a significant change in how financial institutions approach money transfers.
Potential Market Cap Surge: Projections suggest XRP's market cap could reach $300 billion to $4 trillion, with some analysts predicting a price surge to $70 or even $1,000 in extreme scenarios.
Institutional Interest: Investors are positioning themselves early for the shift to blockchain payments. With banks integrating XRP into their networks, financial services are being reworked for greater accessibility and efficiency.
Some notable predictions and insights from experts include :
Patrick Bet-David's Prediction: If XRP replaces SWIFT, its market cap could reach $10 trillion, with a potential price of $100 or even $1,000.
Edoardo Farina's Commentary: XRP won't remain at $2.2 forever, and investors should prepare for a potential uptrend.
Ripple Executives' Endorsement: Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and other executives have championed XRP as a viable alternative to SWIFT, citing its speed, efficiency, and reliability.
With XRP's current price at $2.24 and a market cap of $129.75 billion, it's clear that banks and investors are taking XRP seriously
RIPPLE OFFERED TO BUY CIRCLE FOR $5 BILLION!
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED!
Ripple's $5 billion offer to buy Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, was rejected. Here's what happened :
-The Offer: Ripple offered between $4 billion to $5 billion to acquire Circle, aiming to expand its presence in the stablecoin sector and boost its RLUSD token.
The Rejection: Circle declined the proposal, citing that the valuation didn't reflect its growth potential and IPO ambitions. The company is preparing for an NYSE listing and has partnerships with major financial institutions like Visa and Mastercard.
Circle's Valuation: Circle was valued at $9 billion in a 2022 SPAC deal attempt and is now seeking a valuation between $4 billion to $6 billion for its IPO.
Ripple's Response: Ripple remains interested in a deal but hasn't decided whether to make another offer. The company has been expanding its presence in blockchain payments and stablecoins, recently acquiring prime brokerage Hidden Road for $1.25 billion.
Impact on XRP: The rejection of the deal, combined with regulatory uncertainty and SEC delays on ETF decisions, led to a 2.6% drop in XRP price, which fell below $2.20 and its market capitalization slipping below $130 billion.
Key Players and Their Moves:
Ripple: Seeks to expand in stablecoin market, recently launched RLUSD token.
Circle: Focused on IPO plans, valued at $9 billion in 2022, and maintains strong presence in US and Europe.
USDC: Second-largest stablecoin issuer, with $62 billion in circulation, rivaling Ripple's RLUSD token#BTCRebound #XRPETFs #xrp $XRP
