Ripple President Monica Long has highlighted decentralized identities as another area in which XRP could dominate. This came as she explained why these decentralized identities are a game-changer. Ripple President Reveals Another Key Area For XRP In an X post , crypto pundit John Squire drew attention to the Ripple President’s statement in which she noted that decentralized identities will enable users to take back control of their identities from web2 companies. With decentralized identities, individuals will be able to tokenize their identities on a network such as XRP Ledger (XRPL).  Long noted that this tokenization will make these decentralized identities transportable and enable individuals to delegate access to whoever they want. John Squire described decentralized identities as a game-changer. He noted that individuals will be able to turn their identity, KYC, and even DNA into a private portable token on the XRP Ledger using zero-knowledge proofs.  The pundit a...

Tether has given potential investors a hard deadline — commit within 14 days or lose their spot entirely. The world’s largest stablecoin issuer is pushing ahead with a funding round that would price the company at $500 billion, a figure that would put it above some of the biggest names in American banking. A Valuation That Dwarfs Its Own Product That number is striking when held against Tether’s actual stablecoin market cap, which currently sits at around $184 billion. The gap between those two figures reflects what Tether is asking investors to believe — that the company’s future is worth far more than its present. Reports indicate the company has ambitions well beyond issuing USDT , and that broader strategy is baked into the valuation. At $500 billion, Tether would be worth more than JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo. That kind of comparison draws attention. It also raises questions that a two-week deadline leaves little time to answer. The ultimatum ...

Solana is under pressure around the $75–$78 zone, a key level where buyers and sellers are currently battling for control. Short-term momentum has weakened, but this area also serves as critical support that could trigger a strong reaction if defended. Despite the downside risk, the broader outlook still holds significant upside potential, with this level likely to decide the next major move. Pressure Intensifies, SOL Structure Breaks  SOL pressure is building, according to Marcus Corvinus, with recent price action reflecting a noticeable shift in momentum. Losing the key trendline signals that the bullish structure is beginning to weaken, raising concerns that sellers are gradually taking control of the market. The $92–$95 zone previously acted as a strong area of defense, but this time, sellers stepped in with clear intent, rejecting prices from that region. That rejection has now pushed SOL down into the $75–$78 range , where the market is currently consolidating. This l...

A crypto analyst has shared a new Bitcoin price roadmap, outlining where the market currently is and projecting the cryptocurrency’s next moves amid the ongoing bear market . While some experts still see more downside ahead for BTC, this analyst predicts a massive surge back above $90,000. The analyst cites several catalysts, including Bitcoin price action and the Elliot Wave structure , to support his bullish outlook.  Bitcoin Price Roadmap To $90,000 Rawl, a crypto market expert on X, has presented a new price analysis of Bitcoin, outlining in detail how the cryptocurrency can return to $90,000 and what traders should expect in the coming weeks and months. The analyst noted that, so far, Bitcoin has been following an expected plan, suggesting that the recent pullbacks , rebounds, and other price changes were normal reactions.  He said that although the market’s timeline has been the only surprise, the cryptocurrency’s structure is what truly matters. Rawl stated that, fo...

Bitcoin is struggling to hold above $70,000. Days of trying to defend $65,000 have given way to a fragile recovery that the market does not yet trust. A top CryptoQuant analyst has identified the structural reason why — and it has nothing to do with sentiment, ETF flows, or macroeconomic headlines. The culprit is in the mining data. A CryptoQuant analysis examining the relationship between Miner Selling Power and Bitcoin’s price has identified a decoupling that began in the second half of 2025 and has been widening ever since. Historically, the two indicators moved in correlation — when Bitcoin price rose, miners’ selling power declined as profitability improved, and vice versa. That relationship has broken down entirely. What the chart now shows is a divergence that runs in the wrong direction: Miner Selling Power is sharply rising while Bitcoin’s price falls. The miners who are supposed to benefit from a recovery are instead increasing their selling activity into weakness. That is ...

Charles Schwab is preparing to offer clients direct access to cryptocurrencies, joining a growing group of traditional financial institutions that have moved into digital-asset services.  The firm plans to roll out “Schwab Crypto” through its Premier Bank platform, enabling eligible customers to buy and sell Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) directly, according to disclosures on the company’s website . Charles Schwab’s New Crypto Service  Charles Schwab’s announcement makes clear that the new offering will not be open to everyone. The firm says not all applicants will qualify, and accounts will be available in every US state except New York and Louisiana.  Company leadership has signaled a cautious, phased approach to the launch. CEO Rick Wurster told investors last month that Schwab will initially support only Bitcoin and Ethereum and is “extremely confident” in the technical work required to integrate crypto trading into its systems. Charles Schwab’s CEO also descr...

Crypto pundit Cryptoinsight has pointed to Google’s latest research on quantum computing, which discussed XRP. The report specifically highlighted the XRP Ledger and the network’s efforts to protect against quantum threats.  Google’s Latest Quantum Research Report Discusses XRP In an X post , Cryptoinsight highlighted Google’s research report , which discussed XRP and the XRPL’s quantum efforts. He also noted that Google’s claim that 2/3 of the short-dated U.S. treasury bills are on the Ledger, while the majority of the remaining are on the Ethereum network .  In the quantum report, Google noted that the Ledger is among the networks conducting experimental and test deployments of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The Ledger recently deployed post-quantum ML-DSA signatures on the testnet. The report also recognized how this was key as the Ledger provides “extensive support” for RWA tokenization .  RWA.xyz data shows that the XRP Ledger currently ranks 8th in terms of ...
