📉📈 Current panorama

The market was stuck in consolidation over the weekend, without clear forces. Although this scenario usually signals a phase of accumulation before a more intense movement, my reading for this week is a bit different.

.
🔮 “MY” reading for the week:

• I see a greater chance of continuity in the consolidation, that is, a sideways market, moving laterally, without a clear trend.

• Consistent rise only with BREAKOUT: to regain strong upward movement, the market needs to break relevant resistances with VOLUME. Without this, the greater probability is indeed to continue in LATERALIZATION with a slight selling pressure bias.

• Risk of correction downward: a constant concern that always remains on the radar. Just a few unfavorable inflation data or tougher statements from authorities are enough to pressure the market. Therefore, it is essential to closely monitor the trends of events, as often the market anticipates pricing even before a real consolidation of the fact.

.
📊 “MY” Conclusions:

• I do not see clear signs of an explosive rally this week.

• The most likely scenario is a sideways market, with slight declines during moments of realization.

• The buying side should only regain strength if there is an external catalyst (e.g., institutional flow or relevant positive news).

.
👉 IN SUMMARY: this week, “my” expectation is for a sideways/STAGNANT market, perhaps slipping a bit more down than up.

I truly hope my reading is WRONG, and that you correct me by bringing the best possible reality: a crypto market on the RISE throughout the week.

📢 Banks vs Stablecoins in the USA: a new clash in Congress

The largest banks in the USA, represented by associations such as the American Bankers Association (ABA), are calling for urgent changes to the new stablecoin law (GENIUS Act), enacted in July 2025.

.
🔎 What “WORRIES” the banks?

1️⃣ Bank disintermediation: consumers could migrate deposits to stablecoins, reducing the banks' credit base.

2️⃣ Loophole for interest payments: even if prohibited by law, issuers could use affiliates or exchanges to offer indirect yields.

3️⃣ Issuance by non-financials: allowing retail companies or big techs to issue stablecoins poses a risk of power concentration.

4️⃣ Risk to the dual banking system: states would lose some control over institutions outside their jurisdiction.

.
🏛️ What do banks “WANT”?

• Close the legal loopholes that allow yields on stablecoins.
• Restore state authority over local issuers.
• Prohibit any form of issuance by NON-financial companies.

.
⚠️ Why does this matter for our crypto market?

If the banks win this dispute, the space for innovation for stablecoins may become more restricted in the USA.

BUT……., if they lose, we will see direct competition between traditional banks and stablecoin issuers, changing the way money actually circulates in the global financial system.

.
📢 FACT: our crypto market is DISRUPTING traditional bankers!!!

💥 The crypto market is UNFORGIVING and always comes back to test you 💥

❗ It will always try to take us down before delivering what we expect

In the crypto world, no matter how favorable things seem, the market will test your patience and conviction.

📉 It will crash when we are confident.
📈 It will soar when we have already given up.
🔄 And it will repeat this cycle as many times as necessary to make us doubt.

This is the game. It doesn't just want to take our money; it wants to make us lose emotional control and abandon the game before the time is right.

Who wins?
💡 Those who understand that volatility is not an exception, it is the RULE.

The market always comes back… but only for those who stay standing. 🚀

🔔 I LEARNED that in the crypto world, it is not enough to be right; you must be prepared to withstand the impact.

📌 IMPORTANT: Set your entry and exit points before the game starts.

GOOGLE PLAY announces new requirements for custody wallet apps

TODAY August 14, 2025, Google informed that starting October 29, 2025, custody wallet apps (brokerages) will only be allowed to be distributed in the Play Store in certain countries if they have specific regulatory licenses for each region.

🔹 Licenses required by jurisdiction:

• European Union: MiCA authorization
• United Kingdom: FCA registration
• United States: FinCEN USA registration

Companies that do not meet these
requirements will have their app removed or
unavailable in the Play Store of those regions.

🔹 BINANCE and its TWO versions:

• BINANCE.COM (global): for users outside the USA, including Brazil.
→ does not have MiCA authorization (EU), FCA registration (UK), or FinCEN registration (USA), does not meet the requirements to operate in the Play Store in these regions.
→ may be removed from the Play Store in countries that do not obtain the required certifications.

• BINANCE.US: EXCLUSIVE for users in the USA.
→ has an active registration with FinCEN, meeting the requirement to remain in the Play Store in the USA.
→ but also does NOT meet the requirements of the EU and United Kingdom, and may be removed in those regions.

• BRAZIL: currently, there are no license requirements for apps, so the Binance.com app will remain available, as long as Brazilian policies and the national Google Play policies allow.

🔹 And APPLE?
• App Store does not require licenses to approve apps.
• Only requires that the developer complies with local laws, without a prior regulatory checklist like Google.
→ “Holds accountable later”: publishes the app and punishes in case of non-compliance.

🔹 CONCLUSION for users in Brazil
• For now, nothing changes in Brazil, we use BINANCE.COM, which will remain available, there are no requirements for these licenses.

• Binance may lose space in the Play Store in countries that require licenses if it does not obtain the certifications.

🚨 Rethinking my BUY and SELL strategy in the crypto market

I have always used a simple model
• GRADUAL SELL: when the price starts to rise, I sell gradually to avoid the risk of waiting for the peak and not selling anything, or selling everything too early.
• GRADUAL BUY: when the price starts to fall and reaches a value I defined as "opportunity zone", I start buying in stages, trying not to miss the bottom and avoid buying too high.

This strategy has always worked for me.
IT DILUTES risk, avoids impulsive decisions, and keeps me in the game both in highs and lows.

But... I started to question
💭 Could waiting for the TURNING POINT be more efficient?

📌 Current model: GRADUAL

POSITIVE Points
• Protects against extremes: I don't get stuck waiting for the perfect price
• Dilutes timing errors
• I maintain discipline and reduce the emotional weight of decisions

NEGATIVE Points
• In buying, the average is higher
• In selling, the average is lower
• Requires more available capital for purchases during prolonged declines

📌 Model I am considering: Turning POINT. How it works:

In BUYING, wait for the price to show clear signs of reversal upwards (breaking resistances, increasing buying volume, bullish pattern formed).

In SELLING, wait for clear signs of reversal downwards (top formed, increasing selling volume, breaking short supports).

POSITIVE Points:
• Greater efficiency in average price
• Less money tied up in assets that continue to fall.

NEGATIVE Points:
• Entering/exiting late in strong movements.
• Risk of being misled by false reversal signals.
• Technical readings and monitoring + closer to the market.

CONCLUDING
The GRADUAL strategy has brought me good results.

But I think about keeping part of the portfolio in the GRADUAL model and using another part to operate at TURNING POINTs.

This way, I can practically measure which adapts better to my profile and the market moment.

POLL: Which strategy do you prefer?

SOLD 99% of my $ETH a US$ 4,500: a sure decision or hasty? 💸

Today I decided to sell almost all my position in Ethereum at US$ 4,500, leaving only US$ 46 in the wallet to avoid closing the position completely.
It was with a heavy heart ❤️, but after months of accumulating during the lows of this semester, I chose to secure the gains.

Now I am strongly hoping for a deeper correction to enter again.

HAPPY with the result, but UNSURE if it was the right moment… as always happens when we sell a larger volume (according to the scenario and reality of each of us).

📊 Poll:
What is your opinion about this move?

📌 $TRX x $BTTC on the TRON network: What is the difference and when to use each one?

TRX and BTTC are different tokens within the Tron network, each with a specific function.

.
🔹 TRX (Tronix)
• Official currency of the TRON blockchain.
• Used to pay transaction fees on the Tron network (including transfers of USDT TRC20).
• Stake and vote for Tron Super Representatives.
• Pay for services in dApps and DeFi platforms on the Tron network.
• Real example: Send USDT over the Tron network to an exchange, the fee is paid in TRX.

.
🔹 BTTC (BitTorrent Chain Token)
• Utility token of the BitTorrent Chain, a cross-chain solution created within the TRON ecosystem to promote interoperability between Tron, Ethereum, and BNB Chain.
• Used to pay fees on transactions on the BitTorrent Chain, including transfers between networks.
• Staking and governance on the BTTC network.
• Rewards on BitTorrent Speed.
• Real example: Transfer USDT from Tron to Ethereum using the official bridge, the fee is paid in BTTC.

.
💡 Quick summary:
• TRX → Necessary for any operation on the TRON blockchain.
• BTTC → Necessary for operations on the BitTorrent Chain and movements between networks.

.
📍 Keeping a balance available in TRX and BTTC means being prepared for internal and external operations on the Tron network without surprises.

.
💰 And as an INVESTMENT?

TRX and BTTC tend to appreciate alongside the expansion of the TRON ecosystem.

TRX tends to follow the growth in network usage, while BTTC may benefit from the demand for cross-chain solutions.

I maintain investments in both to be exposed to this potential, always closely monitoring fundamentals and market conditions.

Bitcoin on the Rise After Clean Breakout!!
Heading for $130K?

The $BTC is on an exciting rise, surpassing and reaching intraday highs ABOVE $121K.

A move of +10% could liquidate $18 billion in short positions, further fueling the buying pressure.

Technical analyses confirm a clean breakout, while the RSI still allows room for advancement, we are observing a strong breakout.

WHALE Movements: a large investor withdrew 274.22 BTC (~$69 million) from Binance, a move that signals strategic confidence.

The outlook is BULLISH, stay alert!

💶 Does it make sense to have a reserve in EURO in the crypto market?

When we talk about stablecoins, we almost always think of USDT or USDC.
But what if part of the capital were diversified in EURO?

The EURC (Circle/Coinbase) and the $EURI (Tether) are stablecoins backed by the EURO, each with its characteristics and risks.

📌 Why consider a reserve in EURO?
• Currency diversification
• Bet on the exchange rate: if the EURO appreciates against the dollar, INCREASE in purchasing power.

⚠️ But there are challenges…always, right!!!
• Lower liquidity: few exchanges and active pairs.
• Little use in DeFi: most protocols are geared towards the dollar.
• Risk like any fiat currency: the euro also faces economic instabilities.

.
🧠 Which one to choose?
• EURC (Coinbase/Circle): regulated, audited, but less traded. And still not listed on Binance
• EURI (Tether): listed on Binance and with higher liquidity, however with less transparency about the reserves, as is the case with all Tether products.

.
💡 Conclusion:
Considering a small portion of your reserve in euro may make sense for diversification.

But it is important to evaluate the liquidity and risk profile of each option.

In my case, I chose to start this exposure, since I had never invested in euro, with the token $EURI from Tether, precisely to start understanding and better assessing this scenario.

💥 CHANGES AT THE TOP: SURPRISE RESIGNATION FROM THE WHITE HOUSE CRYPTO COUNCIL

✨ Wonderful weekend, crypto market on the rise… but peace never lasts long. A news story always comes along that can shake everything up and disrupt our tranquility, and this time, it came straight from the White House.

🚨 Bo Hines leaves the White House Crypto Council
Executive Director Bo Hines resigned to return to the private sector after 3 months in office. During his tenure, he facilitated key meetings between the government and industry, helping to shape crypto policies in the U.S. Patrick Witt is the most likely name to take over.

📌 The resignation comes at a critical moment for regulatory debates, bringing uncertainty about the continuation of the current agenda.

🤔 Now, all we can do is wait for the new appointment, which has not yet been officially announced, to see if the next leadership will maintain the same level of dialogue with the crypto industry observed during Bo Hines' tenure.

💡 No PROFIT? 📊 What am I doing: TAKING PARTIALS.

Huge doubt!!! Take profit or hold?

📌 TACTICAL Profile: TRADER, seeks gains in the short term
1. Takes partial profits at resistance, sells about 20%/30% of what has good gains in price regions where the market usually 'hits and retreats'.

2. Buys back on pullback: temporary correction movement before rising again.
Rebuys half of what was sold, but ONLY if the price stops falling and shows that it has regained strength.

3. Stop/trailing: order to limit losses or protect profit, adjusts as the price moves in favor.
For the 'satellite' part of the position, uses the 4-hour chart closing as a basis to confirm the exit.

.
📌 STRATEGIC Profile: HOLDER, long-term investor who maintains position for months or years.

1. Maintains the 'CORE': the main part of the position and operates only with the SATELLITE (20%/30% of the position) to capture volatility without compromising the core of the investment.

2. Simple protection: reduces 10%/15% of the risk if the market shows clear signs of loss of strength.

3. Reinforcement: increase position.
Gradually adds only when the price falls to support zones or in controlled pullbacks.

.
GOLDEN RULE:

• If it breaks resistance with volume, we want to be in.

• If it loses support and does not react, we want to have cash to take advantage of the purchase.

.
📌 Simplified structure:
• Core → the main part of the position, which you maintain even in corrections, aligned with long-term goals.

• Satellite → the smaller part (usually 20%/30% of the position) that you move with more flexibility: takes partials, buys back on pullbacks, or even exits completely if the scenario changes.

💡 Advantage:
This way, we manage to maintain exposure to the asset if it continues to rise, but we also lock in profit and keep cash to take advantage of corrections, without needing to dismantle the entire investment.

📌 SEED TAG AND MONITORING TAG

ALERTS THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED!
Binance is keen to inform with 2 very important tags:

Understand correctly before investing
Binance warns!!

.
🌱 SEED TAG

This tag indicates that the project is still in the early stage:
🔹 High volatility
🔹 Little market history
🔹 Potential for appreciation with high risk
🔹 Requires reading the terms before trading

📍 Example: Newly launched projects with innovative proposals, but still gaining traction.

For example: $BB (BounceBit)
• Recently, when I bought $BB , it was marked with Seed Tag, indicating that it was an early-stage project, with high volatility and greater risk (Seed Tag means exactly that).

• This did not stop me from investing; I studied the project and understood its potential as a BTC restaking platform.

• The Tag indicates that the risk is greater, be fully aware of this before entering any token under these conditions.

.
🔎 MONITORING TAG

This tag appears on listed tokens that are under Binance’s observation:

🔹 Very low volume
🔹 Issues related to transparency, security, or low project activity
🔹 May be removed from the platform if they do not improve
🔹 Binance monitors and may update the status at any time

📍 Example: Older projects that have lost relevance or failed to deliver what was promised.

Example StaFi (FIS):
• Binance added FIS to its list of tokens with Monitoring Tag in June/25.
• The FIS/USDT pair itself displays the monitoring tag directly on the trading page, signaling the alert to users.

.
⚠️ WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

These tags serve as risk alerts.
The Monitoring Tag acts as a yellow signal for traders and investors:

✅ Study the project
✅ Evaluate if it matches our profile
✅ Never invest without understanding the risks

.
📊 Mark this post to remember before entering tokens that promise “profit XXX%.”
#Binance informs us and now we know how to interpret.

💭 Is it still possible to become a millionaire with Bitcoin?

This is a question that, sooner or later, everyone in the crypto world ends up asking.

.
🪙 The $BTC was once worth cents. And today ….. !!!!!!

If you had bought $100 of BTC in 2010, you would have more than $2 billion today.
Yes, two billion.

But… has that opportunity definitively passed?
Or is there still room to truly get rich with Bitcoin?

.
What do the analysts say?

🔸 Many believe that Bitcoin can still multiply by 10x, or more who knows… reaching values between $1 million and/or $1.3 million per unit.
This could happen over the next 10 to 15 years, who knows….. driven by programmed scarcity, institutional adoption, and its role as a digital store of value.

🔸 Others argue that the great appreciation has already happened, and the future of BTC will be more like digital gold: solid, but without explosive multiplications.

.
There are two very distinct paths:

🧠 1. The path of those who believe

These are the staunch holders.
They believe in BTC as a revolutionary technology and continue to accumulate, even at current prices.
They know that patience is the game and that 10x in 10 years would still be a spectacular result.

.
💼 2. The path of those who trade

This group sees BTC as a trading asset.
They buy and sell according to the market, seeking profitability in the short and medium term.
They do not believe that a multiplication of more than a thousand times will repeat.
But they know how to make money with strategy, discipline, and market analysis.

.
The truth?

📌 Both paths are valid.
But each requires a different profile, a different mindset, and well-defined expectations.

The chance of becoming a billionaire with BTC today?
VERY Difficult.
But a millionaire? Maybe …. Who knows….

.
🧠 Reflect:

Are you accumulating something you believe is valuable in the long term…
or just trying to make a quick gain with something you don’t even know if you want to keep?

📢 RESIGNATION AT THE FED: WHAT DOES THIS CHANGE FOR THE CRYPTO MARKET?

A behind-the-scenes news can cause waves in the market in the coming days.

Governor Adriana Kugler, one of the most balanced voices at the FED, RESIGNED from her position before the end of her term.

Adriana Kugler submitted her official resignation to the FED on 1/August/25, as per the public statement available on the FED's own website:

📄 Official source
Federal Reserve: Letter of Resignation from Adriana Kugler 01/08/2025

This opens the door for Trump to appoint a NEW member to the board this year, reinforcing his influence over the FED.

.
📉 Why does this matter?

Because the FED is responsible for the interest rate policy of the US, and any change in its composition directly affects liquidity, risk, and appetite for assets like BTC.

.
🧩 WHAT'S AT STAKE?

🔹 Kugler was considered cautious, with a focus on employment and stability.

🔹 Her departure allows Trump to appoint someone more favorable to aggressive interest rate cuts.

🔹 This could weaken the independence of the FED, something the market views with much distrust and concern.

🔹 At the same time, lower interest rates mean more money circulating… and this usually benefits the cryptocurrency market.

.
🪙 AND BTC?

The $BTC has already started to react with slight optimism.

The market is pricing in the possibility that, with a FED more inclined to reduce rates, money will flow more strongly into risk assets like cryptocurrencies and stocks.

.
But ATTENTION:
📌 If the move is seen as direct political interference, it could generate institutional instability, which drives away investors and creates volatility.

.
🧠 WHAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND:

1. Strategic resignation?
Kugler's departure happens at a key moment, as Trump seeks to reconfigure the economic landscape.

2. Pressure on Powell increases:
Trump has already signaled that he does not support high-interest rate policies.

3. Crypto could benefit… or suffer???
It depends on how the market interprets the new composition: healthy stimulus or interference.

🚀 Partnership between JPMorgan Chase and Coinbase

✅ What was announced?
On July 30, 2025, JPMorgan Chase and Coinbase announced a strategic agreement to connect the traditional U.S. banking system to the world of cryptocurrencies.

🔗 Key functionalities expected:
. Starting in Fall 2025, Chase customers will be able to use their credit cards to purchase cryptocurrencies directly on Coinbase, without resorting to traditional bank transfers.

. Starting in 2026, it will be possible to redeem points from the Chase loyalty program (100 points = $1) and convert them directly into USDC via Coinbase, an unprecedented innovation among credit cards.

. Also starting in 2026, customers will be able to link their Chase bank accounts directly to Coinbase through a secure API developed by JPMorgan, ensuring security and control over customer data.

🤝 Why is this partnership relevant?
• Pioneering merit: first time a credit card rewards program allows points to be converted directly into crypto, marking a significant advancement in integrating traditional finances with the crypto world.

• Data security and privacy: by operating via JPMorgan's proprietary API.

• Change in institutional stance: this move signals a shift in the behavior of major banks that have distanced themselves from cryptocurrencies, recognizing the need to be present in this emerging ecosystem.

• Expansion of crypto adoption: millions of potential Chase customers impacted, the initiative places crypto on the radar of a massive audience, with the potential to accelerate widespread adoption.

🎯 Conclusion
The partnership between JPMorgan Chase and Coinbase represents a milestone in the convergence between the traditional financial system and the world of cryptocurrencies. With solutions like credit card purchases, reward point transformation, and direct bank account linking to crypto wallets, the agreement has the potential to drive the adoption of digital assets with greater security and ease.

🔄 COMPLEMENTARY POST: VISA AND THE REAL USE OF BLOCKCHAINS

Following up on the previous post about Visa's integration with the Avalanche and Stellar blockchains, I thought it was important to share how exactly Visa is using crypto and why it matters. 🧩💡

.
💡 HOW IS VISA REALLY USING CRYPTO?

When we think of large companies adopting crypto, it’s common to imagine investment strategies or stores of value.
But what Visa is doing goes far beyond that: it is using stablecoins and public blockchains as operational tools to make international payments faster, cheaper, and more efficient.

.
📦 What is being done, in practice?

1️⃣ Settlement with stablecoins (USDC, PYUSD, EURC, USDG)
Visa uses stablecoins for transfers between corporate partners, without relying on traditional banks or the SWIFT system.

2️⃣ Use of public blockchains to accelerate payments. Networks currently used:
• ETH
• $SOL
• $XLM
• $AVAX

These blockchains process token transfers with speed, traceability, and low cost.

3️⃣ Programmable payments with smart contracts: Visa is testing automated payment features with rules, such as only releasing funds after the delivery of a service or product.

🏦 Practical example of use:

A company in Brazil needs to pay a supplier in Europe.
➡️ Instead of using traditional bank remittances, it can transfer USDC via Avalanche or Stellar, with almost instant settlement.

🧩 Is Visa using AVAX and XLM as currency?

⚠️ Not yet. What is in use is the infrastructure of the networks, not the tokens themselves as a means of payment.

💭 Visa is building.

Stablecoins + public blockchains = efficiency, liquidity, and automation.

And those who are positioned now could be far ahead when the market finally wakes up.

Those who understand the long-term game have already realized: these networks are being tested in the real world.

📊Poll
Do you believe in the replacement of SWIFT?

📢 VISA EXPANDS ITS STRATEGY IN STABLECOINS!

The payment giant is doubling down on the use of stablecoins for international settlements, now integrating 2 new blockchains: Avalanche and Stellar.

🔍 What has changed?
Visa had already begun tests with USDC on the Ethereum blockchain. Now, it expands its operations to:
• Stellar ($XLM ): known for its efficiency in cross-border transfers and micropayments.
• Avalanche ($AVAX ): a network with high scalability and low fees.

.
📦 The proposal is clear:
Reduce intermediaries, costs, and timeframes in transfers between countries using stablecoins like USDC, in a fully programmable manner.

.
💰 Which stablecoins are being used by Visa?
The company confirmed that its infrastructure is now compatible with:
• USDC (from Circle)
• PYUSD (from PayPal)
• USDG (issued by Paxos)
• EURC (tokenized euro, also from Circle)

🌐 And besides the new integrations with Stellar and Avalanche, Visa was already operating previously with Ethereum and Solana.

💡 Why does this matter for the crypto market?
• Visa validates the real use of public blockchains in concrete business cases.
• The choice of Stellar and Avalanche highlights the maturation of projects beyond Ethereum.
• It shows that stablecoins are not just for traders — but a real bridge between the traditional system and the new one.

🌐 And what about XRP?
Although it was not mentioned, Visa's move directly touches the global settlement sector, where XRP is one of the main players.

The race for efficiency is just beginning.

⚠️ But… why didn’t AVAX and XLM rise with this news?
Despite the institutional importance of this announcement, both AVAX and XLM continue to decline.

📉 This type of integration solidifies the real value of these networks, which may not be “booming” now, but are positioning themselves where it matters: in the infrastructure of the future.

🔮 Expectations for August: Cautious Optimism in the Crypto Market

After a month opening marked by a strong correction in prices, reflecting macroeconomic factors and new regulatory tensions, various market analysts continue to project an August with a RECOVERY bias for the $BTC and the $ETH .

.
📈 Technical Scenario and Projections
• Bitcoin: potential to reach US$ 130,000 by the end of August, supported by a recovery directly linked to increased institutional interest.
• Ethereum: may also surpass its previous highs, with resistance near US$ 4,000 and projected appreciation above US$ 4,800, thanks to strong capital flow in ETFs and new pro-crypto legislation, such as the GENIUS Act.

.
🧭 Summary Outlook
• The correction in August was significant, but does not change the medium-term outlook, supported by strong fundamentals.

• Events such as the 10-year anniversary of Ethereum, the advancement of crypto ETFs, the SEC's Crypto Project, and the creation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in the US reinforce the structural foundation in the sector.

• Short-term volatility persists, but the institutional and regulatory scenario is, in many respects, more FAVORABLE than ever.

📢 INNOVATION in the Luxury Real Estate Market!

The renowned Christie’s International Real Estate has just launched an exclusive division for the sale of high-end properties with payment entirely in cryptocurrencies! 🏡💎

This initiative reflects a growing trend: crypto assets are increasingly present in large transactions, such as the buying and selling of mansions, penthouses, and international properties.

🔹 The division was created to serve investors and buyers who accumulate wealth in Bitcoin, Ethereum, among other digital currencies.

🔹 In addition to facilitating payments, Christie’s will offer specialized consulting to ensure legal security and compliance in transactions.

This decision places Christie’s at the forefront of tokenization and crypto integration in the traditional real estate market, reinforcing how cryptocurrencies are moving from being merely “digital assets” to becoming REAL means of PURCHASES.

🌍 A BOLD step, but one that responds to the demand of high-net-worth clients who are increasingly connected to Web3 and decentralized finance.

📉 THE CO-FOUNDER SENT TO EXCHANGES. THE PRICE FELL.

Between July 17 and 24, Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple, transferred 50 million of $XRP , equivalent to $175 million, from his personal wallet.
Of these, about $140 million were sent to centralized exchanges, as indicated by on-chain data verified by analysts (Coindesk, 07/25/2025). while the coin was nearing $3.60, the highest rise in years.

📉 Result?
Shortly after, the price dropped significantly, XRP fell from $3.60 to ~$3.10, a correction of ~13%.

.
🚫 No one confirmed that he sold the tokens. But…:

👉 When the co-founder, one of the OWNERS of the project moves/sends that amount to exchanges, it is not exactly a sign of HODL.

.
📊 The market gave us a window.
The co-founder moved. The price fell.
And us? Still standing still?

.
💡I Sold only 10%, close to the peak.
And maybe you, like me, are waiting for "the next peak"… as if this one wasn't already it.

.
🔍 It's not about leaving the project (in the specific case of XRP within my scenario: I WILL NEVER leave 100% of the project).
It's about NOT IGNORING the signals.

Time to act strategically.
Before the market decides for us.

.
🔍 Conclusion:

Proportionally, 50 million XRP don't even represent a relevant fraction of the total supply or even of Larsen/co-founder's personal reserve, which still exceeds 2 billion units of XRP.

Perhaps it wasn't this movement that caused the price drop, and we don't really know if there was an actual sale.

BUT… when the co-founder himself sends millions to exchanges at the peak, the market interprets it as a WARNING.

And sometimes, that's all it takes to provoke the correction.
