Binance Plays Cards: Visa & Mastercard Withdrawals Gone for Ukraine Users 😬💳

Binance, that old fox of crypto, has decided to tinker with its payment services in Ukraine. Starting December 29, 2025, users there will find their Visa and Mastercard withdrawals frozen-like a penguin in a snowstorm. Binance says it’s temporary, but hey, who’s ever seen a temporary fix last longer than a TikTok trend? Customer notices confirm the cold shoulder: no more direct bank card withdrawals for Ukrainians. Meanwhile, deposits and crypto trading remain untouched, because why not keep the good stuff?

XRP Chart from Javon Marks

Marks, with the confidence of a soothsayer reading tea leaves, declares that XRP is on the cusp of a “measured move”-a technical incantation that, historically, has summoned explosive price surges from the ether.

To put on my best Noël Coward voice, one might say: “Darling, the XRP spot ETFs are simply the belle of the ball, raking in more cash than the Ethereum counterparts, which, bless their hearts, suffered a rather tragic $102 million in net outflows.

Shiba Inu’s 130B Gamble: New Year’s Eve Chaos?

Behold, the almighty 130 billion SHIB, a veritable deluge of tokens, now resides in exchange reserves, a silent symphony of bears preparing their next move.

XRP Price Chart

In his December 27 missive, aptly titled “Weekly Insight,” Taylor weaves a narrative as intricate as a Chekhovian drama. He posits that capital, ever restless, might abandon the staid confines of traditional markets for the siren call of crypto. Should this transpire, XRP, his “core position,” could emerge as the belle of the ball, basking in the glow of a cycle’s upside. But ah, the folly of it all!
