📌 Highlighted case: AURA (Solana) In just 24 hours, the AURA token soared an incredible 3,538%, rising from $0.001 to $0.037 and generating a peak market capitalization of $34M. But analysts warn: it could be a rug pull. The distribution was suspicious (high concentration in a few tokens) and there are no clear utilities or partnerships.
⚠️ What is a rug pull and why is it dangerous?
It is a fraudulent scheme where creators launch a token with no history, inflate the price, and then withdraw liquidity or block sales, leaving 99% of investors with no value.
🔍 Warning signs
🚩 Signal Description
Express rise Growth +3,500% in hours Unequal distribution Few wallets control most of it Lack of utility No roadmap or real partnership
✅ How to protect yourself?
1. Avoid tokens with extreme rises and no backing.
2. Check distribution (block explorers).
3. Look for audits or verified contracts.
4. Be wary of communities that celebrate “unexplained spikes.”
📌 Reflection
Markets like Solana attract rug pulls: nearly $6 billion has already been lost this year, with the Mantra incident leading the way. THEY ATTRACT FOMO, but with low real support. Get active: verify before investing.
1. The ground shook in the markets: The total market value fell from $3.47 trillion to $3.22 trillion, hitting a key support level between $3.20–3.25 trillion due to geopolitical tensions (Israel–Iran). It then bounced slightly to $3.28 trillion, although if it breaks that support, we could fall towards $3 trillion or lower.
2. Bitcoin maintains support: BTC approached $102,500–105,000, right at its 50-day moving average. Although bearish pressure exists, buyers took advantage of the drop, leaving the technical shape intact.
3. Stablecoins on the rise: The U.S. Treasury projects that its market could reach $2 trillion, something that is already showing impact on T-Bills markets and regulatory demand.
4. Ethereum resurges: ETH is approaching $2,800, supported by its role in stablecoins (which dominate its network) and favorable regulation that boosts institutional confidence.
5. Societe Generale launches stablecoin: The European bank is preparing “USD CoinVertible” on Ethereum and Solana, being one of the first major banks to do so.
Reflection: The market is in a consolidation phase marked by macro and geopolitical factors. BTC and ETH maintain critical supports. The push from stablecoins and the entry of traditional institutions (like SocGen and banks) strengthen the ecosystem. If this structure holds and global tensions ease, we could see a strong influx into altcoins.
While the U.S. Treasury estimates that the stablecoin market could reach $2 trillion, Ripple is moving forward with strength. Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, stated that XRP could handle up to 14% of the global payments that SWIFT currently processes, which is nothing less than the dominant system worldwide.
This is not just a technical detail. It is a clear statement of where digital money could be headed. If XRP manages to capture a fraction of that volume, its current price of $2.14 could be just the beginning.
XRP has already demonstrated its efficiency in cross-border payments, and with institutional adoption growing, its technology has room to shine. It's not just about replacing a system, but creating a new, faster, and decentralized one.
📉 Despite a slight drop of -2.15% today, medium-term prospects remain bullish if Ripple secures key partnerships.
Is it still not altcoin season? According to the current index, we are at level 16, far from the 75 needed to declare an Altseason! 🔥 The chart shows that we are in full Bitcoin Season, where BTC dominates the market and altcoins have yet to take off. But watch out: these levels have historically been a precursor to significant movements in altcoins like ETH, SOL, or AVAX. If you are waiting for an altcoin rally, this could be an early opportunity. Does history repeat itself? You decide.
Is Ethereum regaining ground? ETH is trading around $2,553, bouncing back after falling from $2,768 towards a key support near $2,500–$2,550, just around the EMA-9/20 we show in the chart📈. Its support line has been solid, stopping the decline and allowing for a new push. Institutionally, SharpLink became the largest public holder of ETH with 176k coins, backing confidence. Additionally, stablecoins and real tokenization are growing on Ethereum, which could push towards resistance at $2,800–$3,000. I still think we are at an interesting point.
Is Bitcoin still roaring? Today BTC is trading around 105,000 USD, with a slight correction from 108,000 USD, after intraday lows near 103,000 USD. But what really matters is its institutional advance: more than 30% of the supply is already in the hands of companies, ETFs, and governments, giving it a solid foundation. Additionally, regulatory momentum like the Crypto Clarity Act in the U.S. and launches like ProCapBTC promise to push adoption. With all that, Bitcoin remains king, ideal for those seeking serious-backed exposure to crypto.
Is XRP about to rise? Today XRP is trading at 2.15 USD, slightly down after reaching intraday highs near 2.25 USD. But what’s interesting are Ripple's new alliances: with Revolut and Zero Hash to compete with USDT/USDC and its entry into payments between Portugal and Brazil, in addition to integrations with Chainlink in DeFi. Coupled with the announcement of the acquisition of Hidden Road, these initiatives strengthen its institutional image. If it continues to add partners and clears regulatory doubts, XRP could see a significant boost soon. Stay tuned!
