#XRPETF The SEC — the organization that most often says “no” to all fun ideas — suddenly APPROVED the ETF on XRP from ProShares Trust! And guess what? XRP instantly turned into the new hot cake. The price soared above 2.2 USDT and confidently settled around 2.237. A true crypto renaissance, only without the musketeers, but with millions of traders on Binance.
Today, the market capitalization of crypto slightly decreased by 0.20%. Why? Because someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning! Bitcoin traded honestly in the range of $93,655 to $95,369 and is now sadly lying at $94,120, decreasing by a majestic -0.14%. Oh my, what a nightmare. Altcoins? They decided to put on their little show. VIB soared by 75% — obviously because someone remembered it even exists. WING jumped by 51% — perhaps to prove that the laws of physics don't apply to crypto. And ALPACA — you won't believe it — bounced up by 36%, showing the whole world that alpacas are still in the game.
The company that has been feeding the market stories about its future IPO for several years suddenly changed its mind about going public. So, in order. This week, Ripple President Monica Long officially stated to CNBC: “IPO? No, thank you. We have enough money. Billions in cash. No issues with recognition either.”
Solana has surpassed Ethereum in trading volume on decentralized exchanges. The same Solana that was recently mocked for 'technical failures' and 'centralization'. It turns out she is now the belle of the ball. According to DeFiLlama data, over the last week, the trading volume on Solana DEXs amounted to, attention, $19.359 billion. This is 23.53% more than the previous week. To give you an idea of the scale of humiliation — Ethereum had only $12.105 billion during the same period. And BNB Chain can already be left asleep — it is in third place with a dismal $8.813 billion.
Let's talk about the event that caused convulsions among traditional bankers. It's about the launch of the first-ever spot XRP ETF. Not Bitcoin, not Ethereum. XRP — the very token that according to your favorite 'experts' is allegedly 'useless,' while they quietly bought it themselves. And who was the first to allow people to properly invest in XRP through a fund? The USA, the land of democracy and free markets? No. It was… Brazil! Yes, the land of samba, football, and now also true financial progress. On April 25, 2025, the first spot fund with the ticker XRPH11 was launched on the B3 exchange, managed by Hashdex.
Despite a sluggish start to the week, the Dow Jones reluctantly rose by 0.05%. No need to clap — it tried its best. Meanwhile, its more lively friends put on a real show: the S&P 500 increased by 0.74%, and the bold, cheeky Nasdaq Composite jumped by as much as 1.26%. Who's doing well? Nasdaq is doing well. Tesla (+9.8%) decided that today was the day to relive its youth. The company’s stocks soared. Against the backdrop of optimistic expectations for electric vehicle sales and rumors of new developments in AI, investors flocked to Tesla.
There’s something more entertaining than news about World War III: the tokenization of real estate! Do you know what this is? This is when, instead of actually owning an apartment, you own a piece of virtual right to it. Nothing suspicious. Just an evolution of freedom. So, attention: According to a new report from Deloitte Center for Financial Services, the tokenized real estate market, which in 2024 will barely breathe with a volume of less than 300 billion dollars, is suddenly expected to swell to 4 trillion by 2035!
The company Janover (formerly) — now DeFi Development Corp — officially told the SEC: “We are no longer about homes and mortgages. Now we are about tokens and blocks.” To give you an idea of the scale: they plan to raise over 1 billion dollars for the purchase of SOL and other 'corporate expenses'. What expenses? New lunar bases, obviously.
According to PANews, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is rubbing his hands in joy, as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is preparing to launch futures contracts on XRP. Do you understand what this means? XRP, which has been mocked for years, called a 'banker's coin', 'grandma's crypto', is now officially becoming an adult.
This week, ZKsync founder Alex Glukhovsky made a loud statement: Ethereum is not just a blockchain, it is the foundation of the value internet, and the network itself is a 'ditch' around the digital economy of the future. Wait. A ditch? A value internet? Are we being sold the dream of a new utopia again?
As of some April 2025, Donald J. Trump, known for his love affair with import tariffs, unexpectedly announced to everyone (including possibly himself): 'Guys, we're taking a 90-day pause!' Why? Because, quoting the classics, 'We need to make sure our allies still love us before we hit them in the wallet again.'
Today in our decentralization circus, yet another magician decided to showcase his trick: about five hours ago, a suspicious wallet, previously noted for cryptocurrency theft, transferred 600 ETH to some address starting with 0x474. 600 ethers — that's approximately 1.08 million dollars. Someone sent an amount with the click of a button that most people only dream of… or write in their morning affirmations.
Ark Invest, led by Mrs. 'To The Moon' Cathie Wood, is back in business. These guys just updated their Bitcoin price forecast for 2030. And do you know by how much? Not by 5%, not by 10%. But by 40% upwards! Well, why not — if we believe their new fundamental model, in just five years one Bitcoin will be worth between $500,000 and... $2.4 million.
According to the latest data from Solscan, the circulating supply of USDC on the Solana blockchain has exceeded 10 billion tokens. To be precise — 10,443,337,954.43 USDC. So, what’s up, Solana haters, how's your Ethereum with its eternal gas fees? So, what do we have here? In a blockchain that has “died” at least ten times according to Crypto Twitter, there is suddenly an exponential growth of the most popular dollar stablecoin. These are not just numbers. This is what:
DeFi Development Corp. drops a trillion dollars on Solana
DeFi Development Corp. (formerly Janover Inc., but apparently the PR department decided that 'Janover' sounds too boring for billion-dollar bets on blockchain) filed form S-3 for... ONE BILLION DOLLARS with the SEC. And all this to buy Solana. A company registered on the traditional US stock market plans to squeeze a billion dollars from investors through the issuance of stocks, bonds, preferred shares, and, of course, warrants (in case anyone still remembers what that is) to... not build a factory, not fund cancer research, but to buy SOL.
According to the latest data from Foresight News, one extremely confident (or crazy?) investor has poured in 253.9 WBTC over the past three days, using a loan of 23.9 million USDT. All this was done through Aave, a decentralized lending platform that your kids probably know better than you do. The hat trick: 'buy bitcoin, collateralize bitcoin, buy more bitcoin'
Ethereum on the Brink of Breakthrough: Analysis of Current Price and Forecasts until the End of 2025

Technical indicators such as RSI and chart patterns indicate a potential breakout upwards, especially after a recent 10% increase.
Part one: They say it's just futures… But is it? So, Ethereum futures. A financial instrument? Or another way for Wall Street to play against ordinary people, making millions on the fact that you can't press buttons on time? They will say: 'Futures allow for hedging risks.'
This is not just a token — it's a pass to the world of VIP golf, elite dinners, and the economic anomaly that has already been dubbed 'Trumpnomics.' Launched on January 17, 2025, on the eve of Donald Trump's new presidential term, the token $TRUMP started on the Solana blockchain. A team from two companies, CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC, released 1 billion coins, of which 80% remained under the control of the Trump family (officially — 'the children manage,' you get it).
• Bitcoin price: It is currently trading around $65,000, and analysts are not just hoping, but planning for a rise to $180,000–$200,000 by the end of 2025. Source? Not a TikTok blogger, but VanEck, one of the largest investment giants. • Forecast from Bitwise: Provided that the USA officially recognizes BTC as part of the strategic reserve, the price could break $250,000. Imagine: a treasury with a cold Ledger wallet.
