The altcoin market has faced relentless volatility and extended periods of selling pressure, leaving many investors questioning when the long-anticipated altseason will finally arrive. Since late last year, analysts and traders have been closely watching for signs of a broad recovery across the altcoin space, but momentum has remained muted as capital rotated primarily into Bitcoin and select large-cap tokens.

However, new on-chain data from CryptoQuant offers a potential shift in sentiment. As of June 27, the average monthly exchange flow for altcoins has dropped to $1.6 billion, notably below the annual average of $2.5 billion. Historically, such reductions in exchange flows have coincided with phases of asset consolidation and accumulation, often preceding large upward moves.

This suggests that investors may be quietly positioning for the next major altcoin rally, building exposure as prices stabilize and volatility compresses. While macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical risks continue to weigh on market sentiment, the underlying trend of declining exchange flows may be signaling a brewing shift in market dynamics. If historical patterns repeat, this environment could mark the early stages of a powerful altseason — one fueled by accumulation rather than speculation.

Altcoin Market Finds Hope in Accumulation Patterns and Historical Flow Trends

Altcoins have had a tough ride since December, with the majority of assets down more than 70% from their local highs. The broader altcoin market — led by Ethereum — has struggled to find firm support or attract meaningful demand. Persistent macro uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and capital flight toward Bitcoin have kept altcoins in a vulnerable state for months. Despite short-lived rebounds, the sector has yet to stage a sustainable recovery.

However, some analysts view this stagnation not as a sign of weakness but as a foundational phase for the next bullish expansion. According to top analyst Axel Adler, recent on-chain data offers a potentially bullish signal. As of June 27, the average monthly altcoin exchange flow is just $1.6 billion, well below the yearly average of $2.5 billion. This subdued activity implies reduced selling pressure and the possibility of quiet accumulation by long-term investors.

Adler also points to historical data that reinforces this perspective. On the chart, green circles mark previous moments when monthly flows fell below the $1.6 billion baseline: early 2023, late 2023, and August–September 2024. In all cases, these low-flow periods preceded major rallies across the altcoin market.

If this pattern holds, the current environment could represent a critical accumulation window before the long-awaited altseason. As liquidity dries up on exchanges and sellers disappear, the stage may be set for a supply squeeze and strong upward momentum. While risks remain, the combination of depressed valuations and flow dynamics suggests that altcoins could soon awaken from their prolonged slumber, especially if Ethereum regains strength and leads the charge.

TOTAL2 Reclaims $1.11T: Key Support Holds Amid Rebound

The TOTAL2 chart, which tracks the total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin, shows that the altcoin market is holding a critical support level after a strong rebound. As of June 27, TOTAL2 sits at $1.11 trillion, up 5.75% on the week. This level coincides with the 50-week moving average and the upper boundary of a longer-term support zone.

After months of underperformance, altcoins are showing signs of strength, bouncing off the 200-week moving average ($879B) and reclaiming both the 100-week ($965B) and 50-week ($1.11T) SMAs. The recent weekly candle shows a strong bullish engulfing pattern, hinting at renewed interest and capital rotation into altcoins. Volume is also picking up, which supports the case for a potential trend reversal.

Still, the altcoin market remains in a broader consolidation phase. A confirmed breakout above $1.2 trillion would mark a clear shift in momentum and likely trigger wider altcoin rallies. Until then, TOTAL2 needs to hold the $1T psychological level to maintain structure and investor confidence.

Ripple Labs is taking a significant step in its protracted legal struggle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by withdrawing its cross appeal regarding the sale of its XRP tokens. 

Ripple Moves To Close Legal Chapter

CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced the decision on Friday on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stating that both Ripple and the SEC are expected to drop their respective appeals, signaling a potential resolution to a dispute that has lasted several years.

Garlinghouse emphasized that the blockchain payments company is determined to close this chapter and shift its focus towards its core mission: building the “Internet of Value.” 

The decision comes after a tumultuous period marked by legal challenges over the classification of XRP as a security. This period was characterized by the leadership of former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who was criticized for his “regulation by enforcement” approach.

The SEC had previously sued Ripple, alleging violations of securities laws during the sale of XRP tokens, which has been a contentious issue in the cryptocurrency landscape.

Turning Point For XRP

The legal saga reached a pivotal moment in 2023 when a judge ruled that while XRP sales on public exchanges were legal, the $728 million in sales to institutional investors were indeed in violation of securities regulations. 

Following this ruling, both Ripple and the SEC filed appeals, but discussions of a settlement emerged when both parties agreed to resolve the matter if the judge were to set aside her injunction and reduce the $125 million fine imposed on Ripple. However, that request was denied by the judge, prompting Ripple’s latest decision.

By withdrawing its cross appeal, Ripple aims to expedite the resolution of this lengthy legal battle, which has cast a shadow over the company and the broader cryptocurrency market. 

As of press time, the XRP price had recovered slightly, rising 1.5% toward $2.14. This follows a steep drop of over 4% on Thursday, after Judge Torres’s decision caused the fourth-largest cryptocurrency to retrace toward $1.90.

Bitcoin is showing signs of renewed strength on the 4-hour chart, with bullish momentum building. The price is climbing steadily, supported by higher lows and improving volume. As BTC pushes against resistance levels, technical indicators are turning upward, reinforcing the bullish outlook.

MACD and RSI Point To Bullish Shift

Bitcoin is trending upward after a recent downtrend, with the structure setting up for a continuation move. According to Gemxbt, support is holding around $104,000, and resistance is forming near $108,000, creating a tight but favorable trading range.

Momentum indicators are flashing bullish signals. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is around 60, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has confirmed a bullish crossover. Gemxbt points out that an entry around $106,000, with a stop-loss placed at $104,000, looks promising.

The analyst also revealed that Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart is shaping up with a consolidation pattern within an upward trend, forming higher lows and higher highs, a classic sign of bullish structure building strength. Currently, key support is around $104,000, providing a solid base for the ongoing trend, while resistance near $110,000 acts as the next hurdle for a breakout.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral, suggesting that there is still room for movement in either direction. The MACD is showing bullish momentum, reinforcing the case for a continuation to the upside.

Crypto analyst Elias ₿Lake also mentioned that the Bitcoin daily chart is currently testing resistance, with positive momentum building across the broader Bitcoin landscape. As such, Elias believes the resistance zone won’t last much longer.

Additionally, funding rates are negative, indicating the market is in short supply, especially when paired with liquidation maps that show a clear upside. The setup is ready for a breakout, as Elias eyes the $112,000 as the next price target.

Bitcoin 4-Hour Chart Flashes Bullish Momentum — Breakout Brewing?

Bitcoin has broken above a key trendline on the 1-day chart, confirming a bullish shift after bouncing from a strong demand zone. This breakout marks a technical development, and now, a retest is in progress, often viewed as a prime entry zone before the next leg up.

Analyst GîZ highlighted a target of $125,000, assuming the price continues to hold above the support zone between $107,000 and $103,000. This structure represents a textbook break-out and retest, a pattern that often precedes strong upward continuation if the retest holds.

Global liquidity is on the rise and starting to reflect in Bitcoin price action. The M2 money supply of liquidity just crossed the $112,000 mark on the 3-month chart, and BTC appears to be closely following that curve.

Lastly, Zhao Lusi emphasizes a repeating lead-leg pattern, where liquidity trends first, and BTC follows next. If the trend holds, Zhao believes the next BTC breakout may already be in motion.

Dogecoin ยังคงแกว่งตัวในกรอบแคบระหว่างแนวรับที่ 0.15 ดอลลาร์ และแนวต้านที่ 0.23 ดอลลาร์ โดยมีปริมาณซื้อขายต่ำกว่าค่าเฉลี่ย ซึ่งบ่งชี้ว่าการที่กราฟจะสามารถทะลุแนวต้านได้จำเป็นต้องมีแรงซื้อมากกว่านี้

หลังจาก Dogecoin ปรับลงจากจุดสูงล่าสุดก็เริ่มทรงตัวในโซนการซื้อขายที่สำคัญและมีการสะสมพลังในช่วงแนวรับที่ 0.15 ดอลลาร์

จุดสังเกตทางเทคนิคที่สำคัญ

• แนวรับสำคัญที่ 0.15 ดอลลาร์: เป็นระดับต่ำสุดของรอบที่ผ่านมา และยังทำหน้าที่เป็นแนวรับระยะยาวต่อไป
• แนวต้านที่จุดสำคัญ: ราคายังคงถูกจำกัดไว้ที่กรอบระหว่าง 0.15-0.23 ดอลลาร์ ซึ่ง Dogecoin ต้องฝ่าไปให้ได้เพื่อเปลี่ยนแนวโน้มโครงสร้างราคา
• ปริมาณซื้อขายยังไม่มากพอ: ปริมาณการซื้อขายรายวันยังอยู่ในระดับต่ำซึ่งไม่เพียงพอที่จะยืนยันการทะลุแนวต้านอย่างมั่นคง

โดยภาพรวม Dogecoin ในกรอบแคบ ๆ และยังไม่มีทิศทางที่ชัดเจน อย่างไรก็ตาม หาก Dogecoin สามารถทรงตัวเหนือระดับ 0.15 ดอลลาร์ได้อย่างมั่นคงและมีปริมาณการซื้อขายเข้ามาสนับสนุนมากพออย่างต่อเนื่องก็อาจเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของการปรับขึ้นสู่แนวต้านถัดไปที่ 0.23 ดอลลาร์หรือมากกว่านั้น

นักลงทุนควรจับตาปริมาณซื้อขายและสัญญาณการยืนยันโครงสร้างก่อนเข้าสู่จังหวะการเทรดแบบมีทิศทาง

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has witnessed some developments in recent times, which are set to boost the network’s activity. This includes the Wormhole integration, which enables interoperability and unlocks access to other networks. 

XRP Ledger Integrates Wormhole For Network Interoperability 

In an X post, Wormhole announced that it has partnered with Ripple to bring multichain interoperability to the XRP Ledger and the upcoming XRPL EVM Sidechain. Wormhole will be the core interoperability platform for the XRPL ecosystem. This integration will further expand the network’s adoption, as users will now be able to transfer their assets from the XRPL to other major networks. 

Wormhole also noted that this would bring new connectivity for developers and institutions looking to build multichain applications, whether for payments, DeFi, and RWA use cases. The XRP Ledger continues to expand, considering the integration and launch of new initiatives on the network, including the recent integration of Circle’s USDC stablecoin. 

Furthermore, Bitcoinist reported that the European Central Bank (ECB) is testing the XRP Ledger for bond settlement. Specifically, the ECB is working on the Axiology DLT Trading and Settlement System (TSS). However, it is worth mentioning that Axiology is a “private, permissioned infrastructure” which is built using the XRPL’s open-source code. As such, this bond settlement won’t exactly run on the network. 

Ripple Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz declared that Real World Assets (RWAs) will drive the next wave of adoption for the XRP Ledger. This explains why the network is actively promoting asset tokenization. Ondo Finance recently launched its tokenized US Treasury fund (OUSG) on the network. Meanwhile, Guggenheim partnered with Ripple to launch the first Digital Commercial Paper on the XRPL.

XRPL Gets A New Lift With Software Upgrade

The XRPL Ledger is also set to witness new improvements with the Rippled 2.5.0 version, which just went live. The network upgrade includes major features such as a permissioned decentralized exchange (DEX). This adds DEXs that control who can participate and allows for compliant trading. 

It marks a major step towards onboarding institutions as these regulated players can trade on the XRP Ledger’s DEX using verified credentials. The feature also enables KYC-gated FX swaps and stablecoin flows. Essentially, this permissioned DEX feature promotes compliance and is expected to attract more developers. 

Another feature introduced by the XRP Ledger upgrade is Permission Delegation, which enables accounts to delegate permissions to other accounts for management and automation purposes. In an X post, Ripple developers explained that the potential use cases for this feature include MiCA compliance, RLUSD stablecoin operations, and corporate treasury management.

The upgrade also introduces support for IOUs and MPTs under token escrow. The XRP Ledger’s escrow feature would support other tokens besides XRP. There is also the batch feature, which adds the ability to group multiple transactions and execute them together.

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.09, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

World Liberty Financial hit headlines this week after a major token buy sent shockwaves through crypto circles. Based on reports, an Abu Dhabi fund snapped up 100 million worth of WLFI governance tokens. That purchase makes Aqua1 Foundation the largest holder—beating out Tron founder Justin Sun’s 30 million investment from last November.

Massive Token Purchase

According to World Liberty and Aqua1, the deal will help push ahead a blockchain-based financial system that ties stablecoins, real assets and on-chain tools together.

Aqua1 founding partner Dave Lee said the move targets new standards for “global capital efficiency.” He plans to team up with World Liberty on high-potential blockchain projects. Their pitch: merge old-school markets with token tech.

Political Connections Under Scrutiny

US President Donald Trump and his family stand to gain big. Three of his sons are co-founders of World Liberty. In June, Trump disclosed over 57 million in income tied to WLFI and revealed he holds nearly 16 billion governance tokens himself.

That kind of stake raises eyebrows on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers worry policy could tilt to favor projects backed by the president’s relatives.

Regulatory Battles Loom

Lawmakers are already debating how to rein in stablecoins. The GENIUS Act and other bills aim to set guardrails on token reserves and audits. Some proposals would bar presidents and future officeholders from holding digital assets while in power.

Reports disclosed that from a recent Senate hearing, Senators from both parties want clear rules to keep foreign money out of US policy decisions.

Market And Risk Signals

The crypto crowd knows a big token buy can push prices up. But they’ve also seen sharp sell-offs when insiders cash out. Nobody yet knows if Aqua1 or the Trump family plans a lock-up for their tokens.

If large amounts hit the market at once, WLFI could swing wildly. That risk might scare off cautious investors who worry about dumping.

Deal History And Context

This is not World Liberty’s first political play. In May, Eric Trump said Abu Dhabi’s MGX would use World Liberty’s USD1 stablecoin to settle a 2 billion investment in Binance.

That announcement came as Congress weighed stablecoin rules. Some lawmakers viewed it as a test of how far crypto could bend policy to suit private interests.

For now, WLFI token trading is under the lens. Traders will watch lock-up schedules and any word on token releases. Regulators will study audit reports and reserve balances.

US President Donald Trump’s deep ties keep the story rolling. Investors will need to decide if the project’s bold goals outweigh the political red flags and possible market storms.

At a Senate Banking Committee hearing yesterday, executive director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets Bo Hines sat flanked by Chairman Tim Scott and Digital Assets Subcommittee Chair Cynthia Lummis and confirmed that the United States has already begun moving seized or previously held Bitcoin into the newly created Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Play Advances

The disclosure came in response to a question about the execution of President Donald Trump’s March 6 executive order on digital assets. Hines explained that “the EO… mandated an accounting to take place in which the Treasury [is] spearheading that,” noting that the department has now “received the numbers from the different agencies inside of the government.” Those numbers reflect coins accumulated piecemeal over the past decade through criminal forfeitures, civil penalties, and unspent research allocations across multiple departments.

Describing the next phase, Hines told lawmakers that “there are a lot of different actors that held on to some Bitcoin and in some fashion or another,” adding that “now the process begins in […] establishing the reserve, the actual infrastructure behind it, and getting all of that accomplished.”

Hines stressed that publication of the full audit is optional: “There’s nothing in the EO that mandates that that report become public, but we could choose to make it public at some point.”

The administration’s strategic intent is unambiguous. “We’ve stated publicly that Bitcoin is digital gold,” Hines said, repeating language he has used since early March. “We believe it’s in the best interest of the United States to garner as much as we can possibly get.” That ambition, he added, must be squared with the order’s fiscal guard-rails: “Obviously this has to be done in budget-neutral ways that don’t cost the taxpayer a dime. The president was clear about that in the executive order.”

Hines, gesturing to the two senators beside him, struck an optimistic note with regards to acquiring Bitcoin in a budget-neutral way: “I think we have some very creative minds, two of which are sitting up here with me, and I think we’ll begin moving very quickly on that.”

GENIUS First, CLARITY Next, Bitcoin Last

Finding those budget-neutral mechanisms now falls to Capitol Hill. Senator Lummis reminded colleagues that the House-passed GENIUS Act—covering stablecoins—should reach the president for signing in July, while a Senate draft of a broader market-structure bill “is on track before the August recess,” with Banking Committee markup set for the first week of September.

Via X, “Crypto Czar” David Sacks confirmed: “Thank you to Senate Banking Committee Chair Senator Tim Scott and Digital Assets Subcommittee Chair Senator Lummis for announcing a clear timeline and plan for comprehensive crypto market structure legislation: Bill introduced before August recess, Mark up first week of September, Done by end of September. President Trump supports CLARITY on market structure as well as GENIUS on stablecoins. Let’s get this done! July will be a big month, with a bill signing for GENIUS, and CLARITY going to the Senate!”

Previously, Lummis made clear that the forthcoming bills on stablecoins and broader market structure would reach Congress before lawmakers take up the proposed Bitcoin Accumulation Act, which would authorize additional federal purchases of BTC.

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $106,766.

Ripple is at a crossroads following Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling in the long-running lawsuit against the SEC. The crypto firm will now have to decide whether to drop the appeal or move forward with it to get relief from Judge Torres’ judgment. 

Ripple Faces Setback In Lawsuit Against SEC

A court document shows that Judge Torres has denied Ripple and the SEC’s joint motion for an indicative ruling. The ruling was meant to absolve the crypto firm as both parties requested the judge to dissolve the injunction and reduce the monetary judgment to $50 million from $125 million. 

Judge Torres declared that Ripple and the SEC have failed to show exceptional circumstances that outweigh the public interest or the administration of justice. As such, she isn’t persuaded to modify her judgment. She also made it clear that if jurisdiction were restored to her court, she would still deny the parties’ request to vacate the injunction and reduce the civil penalty. 

The court also highlighted the fact that nothing, in relation to Ripple’s violations, has changed since the ruling against the crypto firm, but both parties hardly pretend it has. Judge Torres noted the SEC’s arguments and how the Commission made it clear back then that Ripple would continue to violate securities laws without an injunction. 

As such, she rejected the argument that the injunction and civil penalty only relate to unique facts of the case and not public interest. She alluded to the fact that the Commission argued that a civil penalty was also necessary to send a strong deterrent message to Ripple and others. The judge was also not convinced by the argument that the SEC had dropped other enforcement actions, noting that the facts in those cases differed from the Ripple case. 

What’s Next In The XRP Lawsuit 

Judge Torres remarked that Ripple and the SEC are free to withdraw their appeals if they genuinely want the lawsuit to end already. On the other hand, she stated that the crypto firm may continue with its appeal if it really desires relief from her final judgment. The judge made it clear that Ripple and the SEC do not have the authority to agree not to be bound by a final judgment. 

As such, they can’t simply set her judgment aside because they have a settlement agreement in place. Instead, only a higher court can set aside her judgment on appeal. Legal expert Fred Rispoli predicts that Ripple and the SEC will drop their appeals and agree on a $50 million settlement, with the injunction remaining in place. 

Ripple Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Stuart Alderoty noted that the ball is now in their court, and they will decide on what to do next. He agreed with Judge Torres that they can either drop the appeal or challenge the finding on the historical institutional sales with the appeal. Either way, he remarked that XRP’s legal status as not a security remains unchanged.

Since reclaiming the $107,000 price mark on Wednesday, Bitcoin has managed to hold strongly above this key level, reflecting its robust resilience despite a recent pullback. Following the renewed upward trend, bullish sentiment is growing stronger among key BTC investors on crypto exchanges.

Large Bitcoin Transfers To Exchanges Nosedive

Given the recent upsurge in Bitcoin’s price, major investors on crypto exchanges are starting to turn optimistic about the asset’s future performance. Darkfost, a verified author and on-chain analyst who shared the development on X, highlighted that Bitcoin whale inflows to exchanges are experiencing a sharp decline when compared to the past month. This trend signals a potential shift in market dynamics toward a more confident state among whale holders.

A sharp drop in whale inflows to exchanges reflects a retreat from immediate selling pressure, perhaps a revived preference for long-term holdings. It is mostly regarded as a bullish signal because reduced whale inflows often precede periods of price spikes, as it limits massive sell-offs.

As Bitcoin broke above the $100,000 mark and pushed toward a new all-time high, Darkfost stated that large investors took advantage of the rally and secured notable gains. The same action from these holders was seen back in 2024.

“Actually, the current pattern closely resembles what we saw in 2024 when BTC was reaching a new ATH,” the on-chain expert added. During this ongoing period of upward price performance, there was a brief second, lesser wave of inflows before inflows began to decline once again. 

This second wave of inflows was a result of the $2 billion in capital inflows recorded on June 16. However, Darkfost revealed that the inflows were entirely due to an internal transaction on Binance that moved over 20,000 BTC, while underscoring the importance of monitoring the metric on a monthly level for a much clearer signal.

If whale inflows continue to reduce on exchanges and history repeats itself, the expert is confident that the development might set the stage for Bitcoin to rally to a new all-time high in the near term.

BTC Next Big Move Approaching

Crypto analysts, such as Titan of Crypto, have hinted at a move to a new all-time high. In his recent analysis, the technical expert and trader highlighted that BTC could be gearing up for its next major move beyond its current peak.

Titan of Crypto’s forecast is supported by a key Inverse Head and Shoulders formation on the 1-month chart, which has remained valid since it emerged. Looking at the chart, Bitcoin broke out from the neckline of the channel and later retested the line. 

However, BTC’s price held strong above this line and rebounded sharply back to the $107,000 threshold. Should this ongoing uptrend persist, Titan of Crypto anticipates a robust surge to the $125,000 mark.

Президент США Дональд Трамп заявил на пресс-конференции в Белом доме, что биткоин помогает ослабить давление на доллар США. Трамп пообещал, что США станут лидером развития цифровых активов, чтобы не позволить Китаю доминировать на рынке.

Philippe Laffont—the billionaire behind Coatue Management—went and dropped Bitcoin into his “Fantastic 40,” his own shortlist of what he thinks will shine as top investments over the next five years.

Laffont ranked Bitcoin alongside Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Meta, while leaving out Apple and Google.

He says waking up at 3 a.m. wondering why he missed out drove him to rethink his stance. Based on reports from CNBC, he hasn’t bought any yet but thinks its market cap could jump past $5 trillion by 2030. That would put it in the same league as the biggest tech names.

Billionaire Upbeat About Bitcoin

According to his own research, the Coatue Management big boss sees Microsoft climbing to a $5.7 trillion valuation and Nvidia reaching $5.6 trillion in the next five years.

He paints Bitcoin as a rival asset, forecasting it will more than double from roughly $2.1 trillion today. He says the world’s net worth of $450–500 trillion gives room for new winners.

Equities sit near $120 trillion and gold above and under ground at about $20 trillion. His case rests on bigger acceptance and smoother swings in price.

Bold Market Cap Forecasts

Based on his figures, Bitcoin must average around 10–15% annual growth to hit $5 trillion by 2030. He sees volatility shrinking from daily moves of 5–7% to roughly half of that. That, he says, makes the crypto feel more like the Nasdaq.

The tycoon points to de-dollarization as another tailwind. If global players shift away from the US dollar, Bitcoin could pick up more steam.

Shaky Views From Others

Not everyone is convinced. Eric Semler of Semler Scientific notes lots of hedge funds still doubt Bitcoin’s staying power. They worry momentum will vanish once the US President Donald Trump factor fades.

Meanwhile, Bybit’s Shunyet Jan forecasts Bitcoin at $125,000 by the end of Q2 if current trends hold. Crypto analyst Scott Melker goes even further, predicting a surge to $250,000 by end-2025 thanks to more big investors jumping in.

Semler’s Own Bet

Semler Scientific already holds 4,450 BTC. The firm plans to build that to 10,000 by year-end. Its chairman says many peers aren’t ready to follow suit. They see Bitcoin as too tied to politics. That caution keeps some big wallets on the sidelines.

What Could Go Wrong

Regulatory moves remain the biggest wild card. Harsh rules could stall growth and scare off new buyers. Competition is rising too. Ether staking, Layer 2 networks and central bank digital currencies might chip away at Bitcoin’s crown. And a strong rebound in the US dollar or a broad stock sell-off could pull crypto down with it.

Following Judge Analisa Torres’ June 26 denial of Ripple and the SEC’s joint motion for an indicative ruling, crypto attorney Fred Rispoli has delivered a blistering breakdown of the legal and political dynamics behind the decision—and issued a clear prediction on when the XRP lawsuit may finally conclude.

Rispoli, founder of Hodl Law and one of the most outspoken legal voices in the XRP community, wasted no time analyzing the ruling, which rejected both parties’ efforts to modify the court’s final judgment and resolve the long-running case at the appellate level.

XRP Lawsuit Shaken By Denial

“I thought Judge Torres would grant the first motion,” Rispoli wrote in a lengthy post on X, “recognizing that the anti-crypto war of the Gensler Era was political animus and that the agency was moving in a different direction under new leadership.” But Torres, he said, “chose not to,” and “there was zero obstacle to her granting the motion and moving on.”

In his view, the refusal was less about legal deficiency and more about institutional frustration or political motivation. “There are only two reasons for this,” Rispoli argued. “One, she was pissed that the parties wasted 4.5 years of her time with bitter litigation… Two, she is hostile to the Trump administration and will do what she can to throw up obstacles.”

Rispoli’s analysis extended sharply to the SEC’s failure to support the motion with official testimony that could have helped the court reconsider its prior findings of reckless conduct by Ripple. Citing pages 3 and 4 of Torres’ order, Rispoli pointed out that “the ruling parrot[s] back the SEC’s own words of how egregious, dangerous, and reckless the SEC believed Ripple to be and why a $1 BILLION fine was necessary.”

He emphasized that nothing in the SEC’s submission countered those prior statements with institutional acknowledgment of past errors. “I said that the second motion had to have some actual testimony by SEC Commissioners,” he wrote, imagining declarations such as: “I, Commissioner Peirce, voted against this ridiculous lawsuit because it was a waste of our enforcement resources,” or “I, Commissioner Atkins… determined the SEC enforcement division under the prior administration acted arbitrarily, capriciously and often with bad faith.”

None of that materialized. “This obviously did not happen,” Rispoli said, and offered two possible explanations. “(1) Ripple and the SEC did not discuss this necessity… (2) Ripple did ask and the SEC said, ‘We are not making ourselves look like idiot assholes. This crappy motion on SEC letterhead is the best I can offer.’”

He concluded that the second explanation is most likely, and said the SEC’s institutional behavior remains unchanged. “The SEC is going to do what it has done for decades: protect its own regardless of the administration in charge or detriment to the public.”

That belief fuels Rispoli’s broader frustration with US regulatory governance. “If you ever want to know the types of pieces of shit that sit atop the SEC, type into your browser ‘david aguirre sec whistleblower’ and read up… I sue .gov agencies all the time for despicable behavior… This is the reason I am so invested in crypto—to opt out of our crumbling system.”

When Will The XRP Lawsuit End?

Looking ahead, Rispoli remains convinced that a settlement is coming soon. Responding to a reader who asked when the saga might finally end, Rispoli gave two scenarios for the August status update due to the Second Circuit: either the parties ask to resume the appeal, or they declare it settled.

“In that scenario, case doesn’t end until late 2026/early 2027,” he said of a revived appeal. But that’s not the outcome he expects. “I think we see (2) happen and get that announcement end of July/early August of this year.”

As for the implications of the court’s existing injunction against Ripple’s institutional XRP sales, Rispoli minimized its real-world effect. “It doesn’t affect $XRP on the secondary markets nor will it impact XRP ETF approvals,” he explained. While Torres technically retains authority to enforce it, Rispoli added, “The injunction only substantively matters if the SEC wants it to matter.”

He also noted that Ripple appears to be preparing to move forward under mutually tolerable terms. “If you look at the @s_alderoty post on this ruling from today,” Rispoli observed, “he used the term ‘historic institutional sales’ to describe the Torres-determined-bad-behavior. This signals to me that the parties are going to settle and move on with the understanding that XRP sales to institutions will be done in a way the SEC can live with.”

Though Judge Torres’ refusal to accommodate the proposed resolution was a procedural blow, Rispoli believes it will prove to be the final flashpoint in a case that is now headed toward closure. “The parties will drop their appeals, settle at $50M and move on with the injunction in place,” he wrote.

If his forecast is right, the XRP community could be less than six weeks away from the end of one of the most consequential enforcement actions in crypto history.

At press time, XRP traded at $2.099.

Stablecoin Adoption Raises Security Concerns

In a press release issued on June 26, the FATF noted that the growing use of stablecoins by illicit actors—including North Korean agents, terrorist financiers, and drug traffickers—poses significant challenges to global financial security. The report further notes that a considerable portion of on-chain illegal activities now involves stablecoins.

The FATF, a global organization dedicated to combating money laundering and terrorist financing, emphasized that mass adoption of stablecoins could exacerbate these risks, especially given the “inconsistent application” of its standards across various jurisdictions. 

In its report, the Financial Action Task Force pointed to alarming statistics surrounding cryptocurrency thefts, noting that only 3.8% of the $1.46 billion stolen by North Korean hackers from the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has been recovered. 

The organization also observed a significant rise in the use of digital assets for fraudulent activities and scams, further complicating the regulatory environment for both issuers, users and companies looking to adopt these assets for clients eager to participate in crypto activities.

Cryptocurrency Theft Soars 300% In Q1

To address these emerging threats, the Financial Action Task Force is calling on governments worldwide to enhance their licensing and registration processes for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). 

This includes identifying individuals engaged in VASP activities, mitigating risks associated with offshore VASPs, and ensuring transparency in cross-border payment information. The FATF stressed that the borderless nature of virtual assets means that regulatory failures in one area can have far-reaching global consequences.

Recent reports indicate a staggering 303% increase in cryptocurrency thefts during the first quarter of the year, totaling $1.67 billion. This surge was largely driven by the high-profile hack of the Bybit exchange in February, which saw 197 hacks occur in just three months. 

Blockchain data platform Chainalysis has also reported that the total value stolen through cryptocurrency hacks reached $2.2 billion in 2024, a figure that, while higher than the $1.8 billion lost in 2023, remains below the record $3.7 billion stolen in 2022. 

Due to the increased interest in stablecoins, Circle, the issuer of the second largest stablecoin in the market, USD Coin (USDC), has seen notable engagement from investors in its initial public offering (IPO).

Since June 5, Circle’s newly traded stock, under the ticker symbol CRCL, has surged significantly. It closed at $84 on its first day of trading, but by June 26, it stood at $213—a 232% increase in just three weeks.

Bitwise has amended their Dogecoin ETF filing to include in-kind redemptions for brokers and dealers that interact with the ETF.

Currently, all ETFs in the US follow the cash redemption method. This means:

• A broker would first need to buy $DOGE, sell it for $USD, and then give that $USD to the ETF issuer to get an ETF share.
• Selling $DOGE for $USD creates a taxable event, leading to capital gains taxation.

However, under the new proposed amendment, the broker would be able to directly trade the $DOGE token for ETF shares, taking the USD conversion out of the picture.

Read on to learn more about this crucial change and how it may impact the crypto market’s enthusiasm. We’ll also suggest some meme coins that could 100x as a result.

More About In-Kind Redemptions

An amendment is made only when there’s some communication between the SEC and the applicants.

The amendment to the ETF proposal shows that the SEC is working actively for crypto approvals, and we might soon see the DOGE ETF debut in the US.

Notably, 21Shares also filed an amendment to their DOGE ETF proposal on May 28.

Eric Balchunas, an ETF expert, said that the proposed in-kind redemption method might be applied to all ETFs in the US, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.

In February 2025, Cboe BZX Exchange also filed an application with the SEC to allow in-kind redemptions for two ETFs. And with the current amendments, it looks like the SEC has made up its mind on the issue.

In-kind redemptions reduce the tax burden on market participants, leading to considerable tax savings.

This will encourage more brokers and dealers to offer ETF products. Plus, fewer transactions will lead to long-term cost savings because there will be less fees to chalk out.

All this shows a broader institutional shift toward embracing crypto-based financial products, especially given the SEC’s clarity on SEC structures.

With that in mind, here are three tokens that could rally heavily as a result.

1. Snorter Token ($SNORT) – Best Meme Coin of 2025, Powering the Snorter Trading Bot

Snorter Token ($SNORT) is one of the frontrunners for the next crypto to explode soon. According to our $SNORT price prediction, the token can surge 1,900% and reach $1.92 by 2026.

The reason? Snorter Bot. It’s a Telegram trading bot designed to help retail trailers swipe meme coins within milliseconds of liquidity being available.

In other words, Snorter will help you buy new meme coins as soon as they hit the exchanges, which is when they’re at their cheapest.

Generally, this is not possible for retail participants because institutional players use advanced trading bots to eat up all the liquidity.

Additionally, Snorter also comes laced with security features. It’ll safeguard you against sandwich attacks, honeypots, rug pulls, and other scams, offering you a secure trading environment.

Buying $SNORT comes with several benefits. First, it’ll reduce your trading fees from 1.5% to just 0.85%, the lowest in the trading bot industry.

Second, because the presale is relatively new, you can also stake your $SNORT tokens to earn decent dynamic staking rewards (currently 250% p.a.).

Snorter Token has raised over $1.3M in early investor funding, and each token is currently available for just $0.0967. Here’s how to buy it.

2. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) – Best Altcoin to Support Bitcoin’s Growth

BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL)‘s unique way of cheering Bitcoin as it rises and captures new all-time highs has made it one of the best cryptos to buy right now.

Right off the bat, $BTCBULL stands out from other cryptos thanks to its free $BTC airdrops.

Essentially, every time Bitcoin crosses a brand-new landmark, such as $150K and $200K, $BTCBULL owners who have stored their tokens in Best Wallet and participate in the social media campaign will receive free $BTC in proportion to their $BTCBULL holdings.

This unique pro-Bitcoin mechanism has made BTC Bull Token one of the hottest crypto presales on the market right now. It has raised over $7.5M at the time of writing, and continues to power through.

Additionally, $BTCBULL will also follow a deflationary approach, when it’ll shave off a part of its total token supply every time Bitcoin’s price climbs up by $50K. By doing so, the developers plan to boost the token’s demand and price.

One $BTCBULL is presently selling for only $0.00258, but the token has the potential to explode 1,828% and reach $0.0497 by 2030. So, buy $BTCBULL now while it’s still super cheap.

3. Shiba Inu ($SHIB) – Top Dog Meme Coin After $DOGE

Shiba Inu ($SHIB), the second-largest meme coin in the world behind $DOGE and another canine-themed crypto, has been in the red for quite some time now. It has lost more than 21% of its value over the past 30 days.

However, with a potential $DOGE ETF expected to have a ripple effect, $SHIB could be the first in the line of beneficiaries.

A $DOGE ETF could make $SHIB a hot favorite among investors, who might seek increased exposure in the category. Also, it’s likely that the market’s interest in a $SHIB ETF increases multiple times, which will, again, benefit the token’s price.

Currently, $SHIB is trading at $0.00001122, and although it hasn’t minted any profits in over a year, enthusiasts are hopeful that positive news in $DOGE could result in a reversal sooner rather than later.

Bottom Line

The SEC, under the pro-crypto Trump administration, is finally warming up to crypto-based ETFs, even considering relaxing the rules around their taxation.

In all likelihood, this will trigger a positive momentum in the broader crypto and meme coin market, and we believe tokens like Snorter Token ($SNORT) and BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) could benefit the most.

However, kindly do your own research before investing. This article isn’t a substitute for professional financial advice.

In a bold foray into the TradFi space, crypto trading platform Kraken has launched a peer-to-peer payments app, reviving interest in wallet-related tokens like Best Wallet Token.

An all-in-one global money app, Kraken’s latest innovation puts it in direct competition with the likes of Block’s CashApp, Paypal, and Venmo.

Krak, launched yesterday, is available in 160+ countries and supports 300+ currencies. That includes crypto, fiat, and stablecoins. The app is free to download and lets you hold, send, receive, and easily convert funds, with transfers taking place within seconds.

“We’re able to move money across borders right off the bat, because that’s what we do from a trading perspective in our venues,” says Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi in an interview with Reuters.

“We’ve actually already spent over 10 years building out that system for money transmitter licenses… in all the jurisdictions. You have to do that as an exchange anyways, and so what we realized is that our customers just wanted to do more with their money.”Crypto transactions via the Krak app will run on blockchain rails, while fiat transfers will be processed in-house by Kraken, bypassing traditional banking networks entirely.

Funds are safeguarded by top-tier security standards and backed by verifiable Proof-of-Reserves.

Krak is running a referral program – if you use the app and invite a friend who creates their own account, you’ll both receive $10. Meanwhile, if you hold $USDG, you’ll earn 4.1% rewards that you can withdraw at any time.

Most transfers through Krak are free, but for those that are not, the relevant fees will be displayed upfront for full transparency and no surprises.

Future Krak offerings will include physical and digital payment cards and upfront payment solutions such as lending services.

Crypto Players Grasp the Bigger Picture

Platforms like Kraken, Binance, and Coinbase are steadily broadening their horizons beyond their crypto-trading roots.

Last month, for instance, Kraken announced plans to introduce tokenized versions of US stocks – dubbed xStocks – for trading in select non-US markets. Similarly, Coinbase is seeking SEC approval to turn shares of public companies into blockchain-based tokens.

Savings tools, debit cards, stock trading, and lending solutions are among the more traditional services crypto platforms are now bringing to the table. It’s a shift that reflects the growing demand for all-in-one financial tools that merge crypto with traditional finance.

It’s a trend also seen in the best crypto wallet platforms. Wallets are increasingly integrating staking, fiat payments, on-ramping, and yield-earning options to give users more utility and control over their digital assets.

All Eyes On The Best Wallet Token

One of the top No KYC crypto wallets – Best Wallet – is a prime example. Free to download, fully non-custodial, and with no KYC requirements, the app gives you easy access to and complete control over your digital assets.

Aside from buying, selling, and holding crypto, it allows for staking, DeFi, fiat on-ramping, cross-chain swaps, portfolio management, and Web3 access.

Best Wallet is also the only crypto wallet that gives you access to the top crypto on presale. And that includes its very own native crypto, the Best Wallet Token ($BEST). And at the moment, all eyes are on this exciting new crypto.

That’s because $BEST drives Best Wallet’s mission to dominate 40% of the $11B crypto wallet market by the end of next year.

$BEST holders also get lower transaction fees, and higher staking rewards through a built-in staking aggregator. You’ll also have a say in the project’s direction through community governance rights.

The Best Wallet Token’s tokenomics make sense for a project in accelerated development. Of the 10B total token supply, 2.5B is allocated to development, and 3.5B to marketing. Those are both vital to the Best Wallet app reaching its target of 40% market domination.

If the presale numbers are anything to go by, investor interest appears strong, with $13.58M already raised.

As crypto platforms, from exchanges or wallets, expand their services, $BEST is in a good position to explode when it lists on DEXs and CEXs. Take a look at our Best Wallet Token price prediction for more insights.

So if you’re on the lookout for the top presale of the year, $BEST is well worth checking out. Currently, 1 $BEST costs $0.025245, and you can stake it for 102% APY. Being a presale, though, staking rewards are dynamic, and the price will increase in stages.

Find out more in our comprehensive guide to buying $BEST today. The Best Wallet Token whitepaper is another useful resource. As for project updates, you can stay up to speed through the $BEST X channel.

Strap In as Crypto Gathers Momentum

There’s no doubt about it, the crypto market is evolving at a relentless pace. And as digital assets become more mainstream, we expect the plethora of related services from platforms (hello, Kraken), wallets (here’s looking at you, Best Wallet), and other crypto players to gather momentum.

That makes the Best Wallet Token a contender for the top presale tokens of the year. But if you’re thinking of investing in $BEST, please be sure to first do your own research. The crypto market is unpredictable, and you don’t want to be caught off guard.
