In a recent video, Cava pointed his finger at the big invisible hand—Ripple’s central authority—that’s been steering XRP’s market fate. Despite XRP’s strong technical foundation, Cava insists there’s one thing dragging the poor thing down: control. A few key factors are standing in the way of XRP’s freedom: a limited supply, Ripple’s centralized grip, and, let’s face it, a lack of institutional love.

In a recent interview with CNBC, TD Cowen’s bank analyst, Steven Alexopoulos, with a twinkle in his eye, opined that investors are currently positioning themselves in tech stocks, much like prospectors panning for gold, in the hopes of capturing the vast potential of AI.

The inner circle: 14 stablecoin issuers + 39 crypto-asset service providers (CASPs). But please contain your gasps—no Binance, no Tether. That’s right, the cool kids are standing outside in the rain, noses pressed against the MiCA-licensed window. Awkward! 😬

And then, of course, there are the early birds – those clever folks who manage to snag the worm (or in this case, the moonshot) before the rest of us have even had our morning coffee ☕️. They’re always on the lookout for the next big thing, the next Dogecoin or Shiba Inu to make them rich beyond their wildest dreams 💸.

According to a press release that was likely written by a committee of tech enthusiasts and a thesaurus, OpenSea’s chief technology officer Nadav Hollander is passing the torch to Chris Maddern, Rally’s CEO. Rally co-founder Christine Hall will also join OpenSea as the company’s chief of staff, because why not? 🤷‍♂️

At the time of writing, Santiment noted a rise in Active Addresses, which climbed to 14.63 million in the past 24 hours. That’s a lot of addresses, but apparently, the universe doesn’t care about numbers when it comes to crypto prices.

Crypto analyst Zoe, a figure of wisdom and foresight, has highlighted the core issue: the token supply of Pi, like the population of a bustling city, continues to grow, but its utility and liquidity remain as limited as the patience of a man waiting for his carriage in a snowstorm. Originally designed for the noble art of mobile mining, the network is now witnessing a gradual unlocking of its 100 billion token supply, while the demand, much like a shy suitor, struggles to keep pace.

So here’s the deal. Upbit, this big South Korean exchange, is sitting at the top with a jaw-dropping 6.038 billion XRP. Yeah, billion. Not million, billion. Binance is way down at number two with 2.735 billion XRP (still a lot, but really, number two?), and Coinbase? Well, they’re not doing much better, sitting at number five with a humble 780.13 million XRP. Ouch.

In an X post, LSplayQ highlighted a key technical development on the XRP 3-day price chart, pointing to a breakout from a falling wedge pattern. This type of pattern is commonly associated with bullish reversals, signaling that market sentiment may be shifting in favor of the bulls.
