WHY XRP DON'T RISE? 😵💫📈💲DONT WORRY ITS A NUCLEAR ⚛️ BOOM 💥🤯
Ever wonder why #XRP price feels stuck even with all the big news and adoption stories flying around? Dark pools are an invisible force playing a role behind it, holding prices stable, but one catalyst could trigger one of the biggest moves ever The rise of dark pools in crypto is kind of a double-edged sword. In the short term? They hide bullish momentum and drag prices down. Long term? They quietly build the perfect setup: hidden accumulation, tightening supply, and eventually... the dam bursts.
So what’s a dark pool, exactly? Picture trying to buy $500M worth of XRP without tipping off the market. Dark pools are private spots where huge orders get filled off the main exchanges.
Big players use them to avoid pumping the price and setting off FOMO. It’s buying behind the curtain — trades only show up after they’re done. Smart money doesn’t leave a trail. They move quietly. Right now, institutions are piling into crypto, but they need the privacy and efficiency dark pools offer to do it properly.
Coinbase, Kraken and others have rolled out these services for big clients. Plus, new decentralized options are popping up.
Who’s using them? Hedge funds, family offices, even nation states. They want to load up without tipping off retail and sending prices soaring too soon.
They’re buying as much as they can while prices stay low, before the utility phase kicks off. In public markets, big buys would push prices up fast.
But in dark pools, all that buying pressure stays hidden. Prices stay flat — exactly what we're seeing now. No excitement, no FOMO, no stampede.
XRP could be getting heavily suppressed right now with institutions quietly scooping it up. Meanwhile, the chart looks boring, and retail traders lose patience and start selling.
These are the stretches where even the die-hard believers start doubting and walk away. But if you hang tight, you might just catch what comes next.
Dark pools can actually set up huge rewards for the ones willing to wait it out. When it flips, we can expect huge volatility.
People sitting on the sidelines could get priced out in a blink. Institutions are quietly draining liquidity from public exchanges
At a certain point, demand on public exchanges will explode past supply — and that’s when the market will panic to reprice itself. Get ready for a potential 2x, 3x, even 5x sprint.
No sellers around means the price gaps straight up. Dark pool buying acts like a delayed fuse — it keeps soaking up supply without pushing prices up... until it can’t anymore
Once the dark pool supply dries up, buyers have no choice but to head to public exchanges. That’s when things go vertical.
If you’re trying to judge crypto's health just by watching public exchanges right now, you’re missing the real story. The big moves are happening behind the scenes.
Think about it ... institutions are stockpiling massive amounts of crypto while the public stays asleep. They're getting in before the next wave of major announcements.
When supply finally gets tight enough, prices won’t inch up slowly ... they'll snap higher all at once. Charts will look like someone flipped a switch.
And for XRP specifically, the timing could be even crazier. Regulatory clarity and actual utility could hit right as supply locks up.
Dark pools work like pressure cookers. They bottle up all that buying pressure now, but eventually, the lid blows off.
This is about big money setting up early for the future. & they’re not here for a quick double
Stay patient. Stay locked in. When the dam breaks, you’ll be grateful you bought at 50 cents instead of scrambling to buy at $10.

Bybit Hit by $1.4 Billion Crypto Heist as Lazarus Group is Suspected
Bybit, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, had a calamitous hack last Friday, during which about 401,000 ETH worth $1.4 billion was stolen. This has become the largest recorded heist in history.
Ben Zhou, Bybit co-founder and CEO confirmed that the breach happened due to an advanced attack that exploited a masked user interface and URL. The attacker tricked wallet signers into approving a malicious transaction, gaining control over the exchange’s ETH cold wallet.
Bybit’s Security Measures and Assurances
Bybit immediately identified the unauthorized withdrawal from its ETH cold wallet. Apart from that, Zhou informed clients that other cold wallets are safe and that services for withdrawals are intact.
He stated:
“12 hr from the worst hack in history. ALL withdraws have been processed. Our withdraw system is now fully back to normal pace, you can withdraw any amount and experience no delays.”
The Dubai-based exchange, which reportedly held total assets worth $16 billion, is currently investigating the attack. Zhou promised a full incident report and enhanced security measures in the coming days.
Investigations and Lazarus Group Allegations
Crypto investigator ZachXBT has linked the Bybit hack to the Lazarus Group, a cybercriminal organization allegedly tied to North Korea. The blockchain intelligence platform Arkham revealed that ZachXBT submitted definitive proof linking the attack to Lazarus Group.
Arkham explained that ZachXBT’s research comprised a thorough examination of test transactions, related wallets utilized prior to the exploit, forensic charts, and exact timing analyses.

Bybit confirmed that its multi-sig cold wallet was breached, just hours after the crypto exchange increased access to liquidation data for transparency.
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou stated that hackers infiltrated the exchange’s (ETH) multi-signature cold wallet, draining nearly $1.5 billion in crypto. The breach was first flagged by renowned on-chain sleuth ZachXBT, who alerted the public to suspicious withdrawals from Bybit.
According to Zhou, the attackers masked a transaction to mislead the wallet’s signers. While the team believed they were approving a legitimate address, they were unknowingly authorizing changes to the smart contract managing Bybit’s ETH cold wallet.

This allowed the hackers to withdraw all Ether and Ether derivatives from Bybit’s wallet to an unknown address. The perpetrators then began swapping the stolen funds for Ethereum tokens on decentralized exchanges, ZachXBT reported.
ZachXBT also noted that the hackers split the stolen assets across multiple addresses to evade tracking. The blockchain investigator published a list of these addresses on his official Telegram channel, urging exchanges to blacklist them.
Meanwhile, Zhou assured users that the breach was isolated to Bybit’s Ethereum cold wallet.
“Please rest assured that all other cold wallets are secure. All withdrawals are NORMAL,” Zhou added.
The attack on Feb. 21 may be the largest-ever exploit against a single crypto exchange. At $1.46 billion, the amount stolen accounts for more than 50% of the total crypto value siphoned in 2024.
Bybit ETH multisig cold wallet just made a transfer to our warm wallet about 1 hr ago. It appears that this specific transaction was musked, all the signers saw the musked UI which showed the correct address and the URL was from @safe . However the signing message was to change…

The Brutal Mechanisms That Make Crypto Traders Lose Every Time
Crypto exchanges wield manipulation tactics with surgical precision, rigging the game so retail traders are guaranteed to lose. Spoofing isn’t just common—it’s a weapon. Exchanges and whales flood the order books with fake buy or sell orders, conjuring a mirage of market demand or supply. These phantom orders vanish before execution, but not before tricking you into acting on their lies. By the time you see the market’s true face, they’ve already cashed out on your panic or greed, leaving you bleeding losses or stuck in disastrous trades. You’re not just disadvantaged—you’re prey.
Wash trading is another dagger in your back. Exchanges orchestrate fake trades, buying and selling the same asset through puppet accounts to inflate volumes and fabricate liquidity. You’re lured in, convinced a coin’s momentum or stability is real, only to watch the price implode when their charade ends. The market depth was a lie, and you’re left holding worthless bags while they rake in fees. This isn’t distortion—it’s theft, designed to destroy you.
And then there are the algorithmic bots—merciless machines programmed for annihilation. These tools don’t just exploit; they dominate. High-frequency trading and front-running aren’t optional—they’re standard. Bots detect your trade, leap ahead, and snatch profits before you can react, moving at inhuman speeds. They don’t just play the market—they control it, ensuring exchanges and their cronies win while you’re crushed under their precision. You’re not competing; you’re being systematically dismantled.

The latest troubles with Solana (SOL) meme tokens led traders to look for other chains with heightened activity. The Sonic L1 chain ecosystem is offering a platform for new launches, recently increasing its DEX activity.
Sonic, one of the relatively new L1 chains, is having a revival as traders seek new platforms with DEX potential. The Shadow exchange is the main driver of Sonic adoption, increasing its volumes 10 times in the past month.
Sonic is now on track to join the top 5 chains with the biggest DEX activity, lining up just after Arbitrum. The ecosystem even surpassed more promising high-profile launches like Sui and Berachain.
The success of Sonic took a short time, as the chain increased its activity in the past week, with the migration of users. Sonic increased its DEX activity by over 84% in the past week as the Shadow DEX started building up its liquidity pairs.
Sonic (S), formerly Fantom (FTM), reaped success with its rebranded name and new ticker, S. The S token rallied by over 16% in the past day to trade at $0.89. S had a short-term peak above $0.97, recovering from lows of $0.40 in the past weeks. Previously, Sonic lagged as the L1 narrative slowed down. The recent chain revival follows the ability to launch new tokens for fast trading with growing liquidity.
Sonic sees increased DEX activity
The pairs on Shadow DEX went vertical, locking in $118.5M. While this DEX size is relatively small, the rapid pace of inflows signaled renewed interest in Sonic. The rebranded chain is EVM-compatible, already bringing in $142.9M in stabelcoins.
The shift to Sonic shows demand for fun on-chain activities with low fees and low expectations. The low performance of altcoins, legacy memes, and other narratives is fueling the shift of liquidity to a new space.

iDEGEN, the AI meme coin fueled by Crypto Twitter chaos, raises $23.8m ahead of its presale on February 27th.
A whirlwind of speculation is forming around iDEGEN — the unfiltered AI meme coin trained on Crypto Twitter’s chaos. It’s seeing rumors of achieving self-awareness and has triggered a $23.8m raise amount so far.
With its presale listings confirmed for 27th February and presale conclusion scheduled for the day before, investors are piling into what could be crypto’s first sentient AI experiment.

iDEGEN is an AI experiment currently punching the walls of what’s safe and acceptable. It’s a decentralized, self-learning AI agent trained entirely by the unfiltered chaos of Crypto Twitter.
Operating as a “digital child” of the degen community, this AI absorbs every tweet, meme, and interaction to generate autonomous, hourly posts with zero censorship.
Itsgame-changing V3 upgrade unleashed AI-generated video content, propelling it onto RedNote, the Chinese social app with +300 million users. And then iDEGEN stepped further into the middle of the U.S.-China AI rivalry via integration with DeepSeek-R1, China’s answer to OpenAI. This created an additional AI agent to run beside the original model.

Somnia Launches Shannon Testnet to Push Blockchain Scalability Beyond Limits
The Shannon Testnet, a significant step toward the mainnet, has been officially launched by Somnia, the blockchain that is putting the world’s data on-chain with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The Shannon Testnet, which bears the name of Claude Elwood Shannon, the pioneer of information theory, offers consumers and developers a practical testing environment for blockchain applications that are quick, scalable, and economical.
Shannon Testnet is here to further advance blockchain scalability in the wake of Somnia’s record-breaking DevNet performance of 1 million+ TPS, sub-second finality, and sub-cent transaction costs. Somnia demonstrated its capacity to manage real-world demand during DevNet testing by processing over 3.6 million transactions across over 300,000 distinct addresses. In addition to testing congestion resistance, the Shannon Testnet provides developers with the infrastructure they need to launch apps at a scale never previously achievable. Because Shannon is made to mimic real-world circumstances, blockchain applications may operate on a large scale.
What’s new on Testnet:
Greater Decentralization: To improve security and resilience, many third-party validators are now operational, and staking mechanisms are in place.Improved Stability: Since there are no longer any state wipes, developers can build with assurance and avoid having to replay or redeploy state.Enhanced Developer Readiness: All the infrastructure required to create and test apps is available.Ecosystem Growth: To promote actual adoption and testnet activity, more projects will be revealed and brought on board.
Infrastructure Partners
The infrastructure required for developers to create and grow their apps is completely present in Somnia’s Testnet. In order to ensure smooth development and deployment, we have included important infrastructure partners. Developers don’t have to wa

Pepe coin has entered a bear market this year after plunging 65% from its all-time high.
Pepe (PEPE), the second-biggest Ethereum (ETH) meme coin after Shiba Inu (SHIB), has plunged to the key support at $0.000010.
While its decline aligns with the broader crypto sell-off, it is also influenced by Ethereum’s ongoing underperformance.
Ethereum, the largest layer-1 blockchain, has lagged behind other major blockchains like Bitcoin and Solana. It has fallen by 5% over the past 12 months, while Bitcoin and Solana have surged by over 70%.
Ethereum has also lost market share in several sectors, including decentralized finance, meme coins, and non-fungible tokens. This trend has impacted many Ethereum-based tokens, which have underperformed as investors shift their focus to assets within the Solana ecosystem.

Ethereum is likely to surge to $4,000, as the coin has formed an ascending triangle pattern on the two-week chart. This pattern is characterized by a horizontal resistance level and a diagonal trendline composed of higher highs and higher lows.
A strong bullish breakout will be confirmed if Ethereum surpasses the $4,000 resistance level. A sustained breakout above this price could increase the likelihood of Ether reaching $5,000 in the long term.

The HBAR Foundation has announced an investment in Archax’s tokenized shares of Fidelity International’s USD Money Market Fund.
Archax, the first FCA-regulated digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian, recently tokenized the MMF on the Hedera (HBAR) network.
The tokenized shares, available on the Archax platform, allow institutional investors to gain exposure to the fund through blockchain technology. These digital assets can also serve as proof-of-reserves for stablecoin treasury verification, enhancing transparency within the broader digital finance ecosystem, according to a company announcement.
The move highlights Hedera’s expanding role in institutional tokenization while advancing Fidelity International’s efforts to bring traditional financial products on-chain.

Strategic investment
Gregg Bell, Senior Vice President at the HBAR Foundation, emphasized the strategic importance of the investment, stating, “Looking ahead to 2025, real-world asset tokenization will be a key catalyst for blockchain adoption. Our vision for a fully tokenized financial ecosystem aligns with Fidelity International’s commitment to innovation.”
He added that partnering with asset managers like Fidelity International is essential for accelerating institutional adoption.
The investment further strengthens Hedera’s push into institutional markets by leveraging its high-throughput infrastructure. The network’s ability to provide low-cost, fixed-fee transactions makes it an appealing option for financial institutions exploring tokenization.
The collaboration between the HBAR Foundation, Archax, and Fidelity International reflects a broader industry shift toward blockchain-powered financial products. As more institutions explore tokenization, partnerships like this could pave the way for greater adoption of digital asset infrastructure in traditional markets.

Archax, the first FCA-regulated digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian, recently tokenized the MMF on the Hedera (HBAR) network.
The tokenized shares, available on the Archax platform, allow institutional investors to gain exposure to the fund through blockchain technology. These digital assets can also serve as proof-of-reserves for stablecoin treasury verification, enhancing transparency within the broader digital finance ecosystem, according to a company announcement.
The move highlights Hedera’s expanding role in institutional tokenization while advancing Fidelity International’s efforts to bring traditional financial products on-chain.

Pi Network’s price crashed on Thursday, and the selling pressure continued on Friday as the much-anticipated mainnet launch disappointed investors.
After an initial surge following its mainnet launch, the Pi coin (PI) price plunged by over 50%, wiping out nearly $6 billion in market value. According to CoinMarketCap, the coin’s market capitalization initially stood at $10 billion before dropping to $4.1 billion.
The Pi Network price crash was in line with our earlier analysis. We cited the increased selling by pioneers and the fact that most recent airdrops like Hamster Kombat and Wormhole have crashed.
Top Pi Network rivals to consider
Some of the top Pi Network rivals or alternatives to consider are Bitcoin (BTC), Binance Coin (BNB), Polkadot (DOT), and Chainlink (LINK).

Bitcoin
Pi Network was designed as a potential alternative to Bitcoin, offering smart contract capabilities and an ecosystem of dApps. However, Bitcoin has historically been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies, rising from below $1 in 2009 to $109,200 this year.
Bitcoin has strong fundamentals. Its ETFs are seeing strong inflows, while Bitcoin exchange balances are falling. Also, as we wrote recently, it has formed a cup and handle pattern and a bullish flag that may push it higher over time.

Ethereum Faces Critical Resistance, Is a Rally to $3,000 Possible?
Ethereum is tightening in a narrow price band. The range—$2,650 to $2,750—has held firm for over two weeks. A decisive breakout is coming, but the direction remains uncertain. Technical analysis indicates a symmetrical triangle pattern on Ethereum’s 4-hour chart, suggesting potential for an upward movement. A successful breakout could target the $3,000 to $3,100 range.
Despite muted price action, smart money is accumulating. Ethereum gradually recovered as it traded around $16 billion trading volume in 24 hours. Long-term hodler are utilizing this opportunity as a buy moment.
The current Ethereum price set-up usually precedes a decisive move, as the $2,820 level might be a catalyst for the next bull activity.
Technical signals are conflicting. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently around 50, indicating neutral momentum. The Money Flow Index (MFI) is approximately 57, suggesting a slight leaning towards buying pressure.
Also, institutional activity shows mixed signals with inflows and outflows throughout the week. US Ethereum ETFs recorded net outflows of $13.1 million on February 20, 2025. This divergence indicates varying levels of institutional confidence.
Despite the Ethereum price running low, Analyst Carl Moon feels bullish, he figures that the Token is forming a potential signal for $3,005.
A bullish scenario is also possible. Ethereum is at a crossroads. If bulls crack $2,850, a rally past $3,000 is likely. But failure to hold $2,600 could lead to a deeper drop. Traders should watch for confirmation before making moves.

Grayscale’s XRP ETF Review Underway as SEC Sets October 18 Deadline
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has acknowledged Grayscale’s XRP ETF 19b-4 filing to the Federal Register. According to FOX Business Journalist Eleanor Terrett, this action initiates a 240-day review process, with the final decision deadline set for October 18, 2025.
XRP ETF Review Process Underway
The evaluation to be made by the SEC will relate to matters of regulation, protection of its investors, and market manipulation. The review also explores the legal status of the XRP token, which makes it the subject of a lawsuit by the SEC against Ripple Labs. The regulator previously showed restraint with altcoin ETF reviews because of concerns about manipulated prices.
The legal filing by Grayscale stands among six acknowledged XRP ETF applications. Other issuers include Bitwise, Canary Capital, 21Shares, WisdomTree, and CoinShares. These filings are expected to be posted in the Federal Register soon.
Grayscale’s ETF will serve as an indicator of the evolving attitude of the SEC towards altcoin ETFs. The new appointment of Acting Chair Mark Uyeda, along with other leadership changes has created positive expectations regarding regulatory changes. New leadership at the SEC could lead to favorable changes for the Ripple lawsuit and better prospects for XRP ETF approval.
Currently, the probability of an XRP trading in an ETF in 2025 has improved to 81% from the previous day’s 80%. Investors still maintain hope as the SEC continues to process several crypto ETF applications.
