The global cryptocurrency market has gained nearly 6% in capitalization, fueling optimism among traders and investors.

The rally came after Binance announced on September 3 that it would delist HIFI on September 17. While delistings often trigger sell-offs, traders have instead driven the price higher, possibly to capture short-term profits before liquidity drops. If...

Gemini is moving toward closing one of its biggest legal battles with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The dispute stems from the Gemini Earn incident in January 2023, when customer funds were frozen following the platforms bankruptcy. Many investors were unable to access their assets, sparking a long legal fight.

Both sides have asked for a December 15 deadline to submit final...

Once a crypto skeptic, Kevin OLearybest known as Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tankhas dramatically simplified his digital asset portfolio. Instead of holding dozens of tokens, OLeary now focuses exclusively on three: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a stablecoin. He believes this concentrated approach gives investors broad exposure to the crypto market while minimizing risk. According to OLeary, Bitcoin serves as a proven store of value and hedge against inflation, much like digital gold. Its fixed supply and decentralized structure make it the granddaddy of crypto, giving portfolios long-term stability....

Gold and the SP 500 reached all-time highs today, but the crypto market cap slipped, raising concerns of a bearish shift. Traditionally, gold and stocks move inversely, so their simultaneous gains suggest both caution and optimism in traditional finance. Meanwhile, cryptos decoupling from both assets could indicate weakening momentum. Bitcoin, often labeled digital gold, usually benefits when gold rallies. Analysts even predicted that rising gold prices could push crypto higher, with some firms launching gold-crypto investment products. However, todays performance paints a different picture...

REX Shares, a U.S.-based ETF provider, has confirmed that the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (ticker: XRPR) will debut this week in partnership with Osprey Funds. This marks the first U.S. ETF to give investors spot-style exposure to XRP, despite the SEC still holding back on traditional spot Bitcoin ETFs. Unlike conventional spot ETFs, the REX-Osprey product will not directly hold XRP. Instead, it will operate under the 40 Act structure, meaning it can include a mix of XRP, cash, derivatives, and U.S. Treasuries. This design makes regulatory approval different. Such funds automatically become effective...

Dan Morehead, CEO of Pantera Capital, believes Bitcoins price could surge to $750,000 within the next four years. Speaking on CNBC, the head of the U.S.-based cryptocurrency fund said he is confident Bitcoin will eventually reach the much-anticipated $1 million mark during his lifetime, though he cannot pinpoint when. Morehead reminded viewers that Pantera Capital was the first Bitcoin fund globally, starting when BTC traded at just $104. At the time, the firm boldly predicted a $5,000 price target in 2013. With Bitcoin now far beyond that early milestone, he sees the new targets as part of...

After several days of strong momentum, the crypto market has shifted into a negative zone, pushing XRP slightly lower. Despite the recent dip, analysts suggest XRP may soon rebound, with bullish indicators pointing toward a potential breakout. Renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted a buy signal on the 4-hour chart using the TD Sequential indicator.

Citigroup (C) has released fresh Ethereum (ETH) price forecasts, projecting a year-end target of $4,300. That outlook suggests a slight pullback from ETHs current price of around $4,515. The banks wider forecast range, however, highlights uncertaintyplacing its bull case at $6,400 and bear case at $2,200. Analysts at Citi emphasized that Ethereums network activity remains the key driver of value. Yet, most of the recent growth has shifted to layer-2 networks, raising concerns about how much value actually flows back to Ethereums base layer. Citi assumes only about 30% of layer-2 activity...
