Bitcoin Leads the Decline but Holds Above $118,000 Bitcoin (BTC) has decreased by 3.72% in the past 24 hours, trading near $118,895. This sell-off may simply be a cooling-off period after overbought conditions, with Bitcoin still holding above important support levels.
Ethereum (ETH) has dropped by 2.57% to around $4,635, giving back part of its recent weekly gain of 19%. Solana (SOL) has fallen by 4.55% to $193.87, showing a stronger loss as traders take profits after a recent double-digit rise. Cardano (ADA) has decreased by 3.27% to $0.92, extending its recent struggles to hold above the $1 mark. #CreatorPad
Fartcoin Leads the Uptrend As of Wednesday, Fartcoin recorded an increase of 1%, extending the upward trend by 19% from the previous session. The meme coin on the Solana platform has reclaimed both the psychological level of 1 USD and the Fibonacci level of 61.8% at 1.005 USD, measured from the peak of 2.740 USD (January 19) to the bottom of 0.198 USD (March 10).
To solidify the uptrend, FARTCOIN needs to break through 1.085 USD to eliminate the bearish engulfing candle that appeared on Monday. If successfully conquered, the uptrend could extend to the Fibonacci level of 78.6% at 1.562 USD. #MarketGreedRising
After a week of speculation within the XRP community, Ripple has finally confirmed the unlocking of XRP on August 1, with approximately 1 billion XRP withdrawn from the escrow account on August 9.
Ripple spoke out to confirm this after rumors suggested that Ripple would not unlock XRP in August, something that has never happened since the escrow program began in late 2017.
With the unlocking schedule for XRP in August now confirmed, the XRP community is very excited about the XRP ETF as this could be a sign that the company is preparing for strategic reserves and potential ETF launches, hinting at larger moves by institutions in the future. #ETHRally
Ripple Price Outlook: How Are XRP Bulls and Bears Positioning Themselves? Analysts suggest that XRP's price may be preparing for a breakout on higher time frames. However, Ripple's price seems to be cooling off on the daily time frame before the next move, with bullish investors beginning to position themselves.
Based on bullish volume profiles (green), bullish investors are waiting for an opportunity to interact with Ripple's price right above the demand zone between $2.9611 and $2.7354. This means that the downtrend may continue by an additional 5% to 7% before a potential reversal. #DeFiGetsGraded
The cryptocurrency market has recently been continuously fluctuating up and down, leaving many traders confused about what will happen next. However, legendary trader Michael van de Poppe is not backing down; he is fully committed to altcoins.
While some investors are still maintaining a safe mindset after the altcoin season index dropped below 40, he believes that the next few months could bring enormous profits, ranging from 200% to 500%.
Van de Poppe believes that the altcoin market is far from reaching its peak. According to him, a large number of altcoins have yet to reach the price levels seen in early 2025. However, for long-term traders, this gap is not a worrying sign but an opportunity to accumulate altcoins at discounted prices.
The founder of Black Swan Capitalist, Versan Aljarrah, claims that the price of XRP is being systematically suppressed through a coordinated network of exchanges, regulatory frameworks, and liquidity infrastructure.
He believes that the current price does not accurately reflect the utility and level of adoption of XRP. The SEC lawsuit against Ripple in 2020 is described by him as a 'strategic economic war,' occurring just as XRP began to appear on Bloomberg and major news channels.
As a result, institutional capital in the US was frozen, XRP was delisted from many major exchanges, creating a legal wall that halted its growth.
One of the main objectives of the Crypto Project is to promote innovation in the U.S. through cryptocurrency. However, industry experts believe that the SEC is punishing innovation by delaying the Ripple case. Currently, the case has reached a critical stage, and the agency is expected to submit a status report by August 15, 2025.
Ripple has fulfilled its obligations by withdrawing its cross-appeal and paying a $125 million fine in June, as part of a settlement strategy. Now, the case needs to be voted on by an SEC commissioner, which may compel the withdrawal of the appeal.
If the agency ultimately decides to withdraw, Judge Torres's ruling will finally take effect, officially determining that XRP is not a security when sold on public exchanges. $CFX
In Q2 2025, XRP accounted for 13% of consumer transaction revenue on Coinbase, surpassing Ethereum's 12%. Bitcoin remains dominant at 34%, but the rapid growth of XRP is attracting attention. At one point during the quarter, the revenue share of XRP surged to 18%, reflecting a strong increase in retail demand.
This is a significant turning point for XRP, which had been suspended by Coinbase for over two years due to the SEC lawsuit. Since being relisted in July 2023, XRP's appeal to traders has skyrocketed. #BTCReserveStrategy
XRP has breached the 3 USD mark after a wave of strong selling due to profit-taking activities by both large and small investors, marking a noticeable decrease in the upward momentum, along with a warning that prices may continue to drop if buying pressure does not return soon.
Although the correction occurred in the context of a significant increase in selling supply, On-chain data shows that this primarily stemmed from strategic profit-taking rather than panic selling. #CreatorPad
Low-income investors are prone to losses According to a report by Ivy ā a digital asset media company in Vietnam, nearly half of investors with an income under 500 USD/month have incurred losses when participating in the crypto market.
Specifically, 47.3% suffered losses, only 32% made profits, with the remainder breaking even. In contrast, the profit rate for the income group above 500 USD is 42%, indicating a significant difference in investment effectiveness between income groups.
However, the group earning under 500 USD accounts for less than 10% of the total 4,300 survey participants.
The most active group consists of those earning between 500ā2,000 USD/month, accounting for over 60%. #CreatorPad
Bitcoin ended last week strongly. However, some traders are warning that this could be a trap.
A well-known cryptocurrency trader on X named KillaXBT stated, "Bitcoin may be preparing to move in a way that deceives both buyers and sellers," suggesting that BTC could drop first to scare people, then rise back up, or it could "shoot up quickly and then drop sharply."
He also pointed out a price gap near $117,000, which could act as "a magnet."
In July 2025, the trading volume of XRP futures contracts on Kraken exceeded Solana (SOL) for the first time, according to data from Coindesk.
XRP reached 3.48 billion USD, while Solana recorded 3.23 billion USD. This is a sign of increasing investor interest in XRP after being held back for a long time by legal issues.
With a clear legal framework, Armstrong predicts that the Fortune 500 companies will quickly adopt stablecoin payments in order to reduce transaction costs.
In fact, Coinbase has partnered with Shopify, and Walmart and Amazon have also taken positive steps. #CryptoScamSurge
The Altcoin season index has risen to 51, up from 16 last month The CoinMarketCap Altcoin Season Index has risen to 51, up from 38 last week and 16 last month.
Although it has not yet reached the threshold of 75 to confirm an 'altcoin season,' this trend indicates that the market is gradually shifting away from Bitcoin towards altcoins. #CryptoClarityAct
Recently, many claims have circulated on social media platforms, especially within the XRP community, alleging that Chinese President Xi Jinping has declared the intention to legalize XRP and acquire 40 billion dollars for the national cryptocurrency reserve fund. This rumor originated from posts by cryptocurrency enthusiasts like Shibo on X, asserting that Xi Jinping made an official statement regarding the legalization of XRP and executing a large strategic purchase. $BNB
The battle between Ripple and the SEC has been ongoing since the end of President Trump's first term (2020), when the agency accused Ripple of raising $1.3 billion through the sale of unregistered securities.
It wasn't until 2023 that the court ruled that most XRP transactions did not violate the law; however, the SEC continues to appeal, prolonging the case to this day. #TrumpBitcoinEmpire
The price of BNB underwent a significant change last month after breaking through the 8-month resistance range from 572 USD to 619 USD. Although it faced difficulties with the resistance at 658 USD in recent weeks, this altcoin has successfully overcome it in the past 24 hours, triggering a new wave of optimism. This breakout marks a strong bullish momentum for BNB.
After the breakout, BNB reached a new all-time high and is now targeting 800 USD as the next resistance and support level. If this momentum continues, pushing up to 800 USD is feasible, driven by sustained optimistic interest. This creates a positive outlook for the price trend of the altcoin
XRP has had a strong price increase recently, soaring 60% in the past month and outperforming major names like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin. However, this price surge has also caused some confusion. Famous media figure Dave Portnoy sold his XRP, claiming that Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, is directly competing with Ripple.
That assumption turned out to be a mistake and costly, as the price of XRP soared an additional 38% just two weeks after he sold. However, this occurred right after Ripple officially applied for a national banking license with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), indicating that Ripple is indeed serious about entering the traditional financial sector, just like Circle is trying to do. #BTCvsETH
