Markets went into the evening on a sturdier footing as Washington edged past the shutdown standoff and Bitcoin (BTC) punched through 106,000. The relief rally set the tone, though cross currents kept traders honest. Ether (ETH) reclaimed the 3,400 neighborhood on strong spot buying and growing whale accumulation, yet a late fade near resistance reminded everyone that breakouts still need follow-through. Solana ETFs logged a 10th straight day of inflows, pulling in more than 340 million and signaling that institutional appetite for diversification beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum remains alive. The alt tape delivered plenty of heat. Shiba Inu (SHIB) stoked hopes of a larger move with an eye-popping burn rate and a break from accumulation, feeding the 200 percent rally chatter as technicians point toward layered resistance above. Zcash (ZEC) has been the rocket of the week with a surge north of 700 percent, but it is flashing overbought and vulnerable to a sharp pullback if momentum cools. D...

Crypto closed the day on a high note as policy headlines and fresh liquidity hopes juiced risk appetite. Markets leaned into a proposed $2,000 tariff dividend floated by President Trump, a potential cash splash for Americans that, if greenlit by the Supreme Court, could funnel new dollars toward digital assets. Add in signs that the prolonged government shutdown may be ending and chatter of a broader U.S. liquidity boost near $500 billion, and you get a bid-heavy tape: Bitcoin (BTC) pushed past 105,000 to 106,000 at the highs, Ethereum (ETH) climbed more than 7 percent, and total crypto market value rose nearly 5 percent. Regulatory clarity added fuel. The U.S. Treasury and IRS opened the door for crypto exchange-traded products to stake assets and share rewards with investors, easing a long-standing legal and tax question that had kept issuers on the sidelines. Meanwhile the CFTC, under acting chair Caroline Pham, is in talks with exchanges to bring leveraged spot crypto products to ...

Crypto wound down the day with a mixed tape and a cautious tone. The global market value slipped about seven tenths of a percent to roughly 3.49 trillion, while Bitcoin (BTC) held near 101,553 and sentiment drifted toward fear. Yet beneath the surface, institutional currents kept strengthening, hinting that the evening’s mood may not reflect the longer arc. Spot and futures products told that story. After a rough stretch, Bitcoin and Ether ETFs drew renewed inflows by Thursday, with big issuers helping reverse the outflow trend, and Solana funds continued to attract steady interest. A Schwab survey found nearly half of ETF investors plan to buy crypto ETFs, putting them on par with bond ETFs in investor intent, and a separate look at hedge funds showed more than half are now participating in crypto despite volatility. Kazakhstan added a macro twist, outlining a national crypto reserve fund of up to 1 billion built from seized assets and ETFs by early 2026, a diversification play away ...

As the sun sets on a busy day in crypto, one theme stands out: traditional finance and policy makers are moving quickly toward blockchain rails, while markets continue to chop and sort winners from stragglers. XRP (XRP) took a star turn. VivoPower and K-Weather unveiled WeatherCoin, a weather driven cryptocurrency backed by XRP that aims to fuse climate intelligence with blockchain and channel capital into sustainability. On the payments front, Ripple is working with Mastercard and Gemini to test RLUSD on the XRP Ledger to settle fiat card payments, a bid to make blockchains feel invisible inside everyday transactions (RLUSD, XRP). Network momentum followed, with a burst of new XRP wallets over 48 hours marking the fastest growth in eight months. Add a record year under CEO Brad Garlinghouse and fresh Wall Street validation to the mix, even as Ripple says an IPO can wait, and you have a project squarely back in the institutional conversation (XRP). Regulators were just as active. The...

Markets closed on a sour note as crypto slid alongside global stocks. Bitcoin (BTC) dipped below 100,000 and the total market cap shed more than a trillion dollars since October 6, erasing much of 2025s gains. Altcoins felt the heat too. Solana (SOL) fell nearly 20 percent and hovered around 157 after losing key support, while XRP (XRP) slipped toward the 2.16 to 2.25 zone with traders eyeing a possible retest of 2.00 amid whale selling and rising volatility. Inflows told a more nuanced story though. Solana ETFs attracted fresh interest even as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) funds saw sizable outflows, hinting at shifting risk appetites beneath the surface. XRP found a little fundamental ballast despite the price pressure. Franklin Templeton updated its spot XRP ETF filing, dropping prior delays and signaling it is ready to launch as soon as this month if the SEC cooperates. Ripple added fuel to the narrative with a 500 million raise that values the company at 40 billion, and a pilo...
