The lawsuit between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had dominated headlines for years, with XRP in the spotlight over its potential classification as a security. Now that the legal dispute is over and XRP has been definitively cleared as non-security, experts argue that Ripple’s greatest success extends far beyond XRP regulation.  

Ripple’s True Victory Beyond XRP Regulation 

A crypto market expert operating under the name “Stellar Rippler” on X has shared a compelling report that reassesses what truly constitutes Ripple’s biggest win. The analyst highlighted that the real win for Ripple was not regulatory approval but an intellectual shift in how the project is perceived. 

The expert highlighted that while he favors XRP, he has historically been skeptical of Ripple’s intentions. However, he stated that the recent approval of the crypto company’s bank charter by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) speaks volumes about Ripple’s long-term vision in the financial sector. 

Last week, on December 12, the OCC granted conditional approval to five crypto-related firms, including Ripple, to obtain national trust bank charters. This achievement marked a significant milestone for Ripple, reinforcing its legitimacy in traditional finance despite the numerous oppositions. 

In his post, the analyst compares XRP and XLM, noting that the debate between the two cryptocurrencies has often been driven by emotion. He said that discussions were frequently centered on conflicts between retail and institutions, accusations of token dumpings, and differing visions for the future. 

According to the expert, XRP and XLM have always been structurally similar, both designed for fast, low-cost settlement, cross-border liquidity, interoperability, and real-world financial infrastructure. However, he notes that the primary difference between the two cryptocurrencies has always been strategy rather than values. 

He explained that while Ripple prioritized tackling regulatory hurdles, banking, and building institutional partnerships first, Stellar focused on grassroots adoption and open networks. With the new OCC bank charter, the expert emphasizes that Ripple’s strategic approach is now clearly validated and undeniable. 

Stellar Rippler highlighted that Ripple did not abandon its crypto principles but took on the regulatory responsibility to ensure its network could operate at scale. He stated that this milestone shows that history favors builders who solve foundational problems rather than those who focus on tribal disputes.  

Stellar Expert Shifts Stance After Ripple Gains OCC Approval 

In a previous post, Stellar Rippler publicly announced a significant change in perspective on Ripple following news that the company had received conditional approval for a national bank charter. He admitted he was wrong in his past views, describing the recent development as a full submission to the highest level of federal and state oversight in the United States. 

The Stellar expert now believes that Ripple is firmly committed to long-term global finance, stating that a company would not take such a path if it were not building something designed to last decades. He added that this milestone represents maturity and legitimacy for Ripple and strengthens confidence in XRP.

The price of XRP may be declining as volatility extends, but a lot of the leading altcoin has been observed leaving cryptocurrency exchanges at a rapid rate. With the token heavily leaving exchanges during the bearish phase, this raises the possibility of an anticipated supply shock.

Is An XRP Supply Shock Incoming?

As XRP battles with bearish movements, its presence on centralized exchanges is subtly shrinking, which is starting to attract notable attention in the market. A report from Ripple Bull Winkle, a market expert and the founder of Lux Lions NFT, shows that the token has been consistently leaving crypto exchanges, even with fading price momentum.

This decline in supply on exchanges signals that investors may be transferring their coins into long-term storage or self-custody rather than making them easily accessible for trading. While these investors maintain the trend, it is often considered a strategic move in order to position themselves for potential upward spikes in price.

In the post on the X platform, Ripple Bull Winkle highlighted that the supply of XRP on exchanges is now totaled at 4 billion. Despite the massive coins still available on crypto exchanges, the figure only represents nearly 8% of the total supply circulating in the market.

As the altcoin exchange supply shrinks, the trend is sparking fresh debate about its possible implications for price behavior in the upcoming weeks. In the past, it has frequently preceded times of decreased sell pressure, shifting liquidity dynamics, and increased demand sensitivity.

Ripple Bull Winkle noted that the majority of the supply on exchanges is not for sale liquidity. Such thin float with growing institutional demand is likely to lead to explosive conditions, allowing XRP to kick off another sharp rally. According to the expert, this trend could be a sign of a supply shock because they do not show warnings; instead, they just detonate.

Taking a look at another post, Ripple Bull Winkle revealed a massive withdrawal from crypto exchanges, indicating rising conviction and reducing sell-offs. During the weekend, over 30 million XRP were withdrawn from exchanges, which was carried out in a single day.

The expert claims that this is how supply shocks are kicked off quietly, and the price does not move first. “Liquidity disappears first. Most people won’t notice until sellers are gone,” the expert added.

ETFs Market Is Thriving

XRP continues to experience significant demand both from retail and institutional investors via its Spot Exchange-Traded Funds. X Finance Bull highlighted that the funds are the only ETFs without any daily outflows over the last 30 days.

Currently, the funds hold the line with $1.34 billion and 669 million XRP locked. While others rotate their capital, institutions are building up on the token with conviction. According to the expert, institutional investors understand that the token is shaping up to be the liquidity layer for global finance, but retailers fail to. Meanwhile, this is how smart money moves prior to a paradigm shift.

Верховный суд Великобритании отклонил апелляцию компании BSV Claims, требовавшей у крупных криптобирж возместить $12 млрд за удаление торговых пар с криптовалютой Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV).

В случае квантового взлома блокчейна Биткоина крупные инвесторы скупят остающиеся много лет без движения 1 млн биткоинов на кошельках анонимного создателя Биткоина Сатоси Накамото (Satoshi Nakamoto), заявил сооснователь инвестфонда CMCC Crest Вилли Ву (Willy Woo).

Когда $BTC в один день может резко просесть и так же быстро отскочить, рынок снова вспоминает простую истину: в крипте цена часто движется не только фундаменталом, но и настроением толпы. На прошлой неделе Associated Press описало эпизод, когда биткоин кратковременно опускался ниже $85 000, а затем стабилизировался около $86 650, на фоне ухода инвесторов в «тихие гавани» и фиксации прибыли.

Нетрудно понять, почему старший руководитель крупной инвестиционной компании Vanguard Джон Амэрикс раскритиковал первую криптовалюту, назвав ее цифровым аналогом игрушки Лабубу.

В такие периоды мем‑сегмент ведет себя особенно показательно. Когда «серьезные деньги» осторожничают, розничные трейдеры чаще ищут не «идеальный актив», а историю, в которую легко поверить и которую легко обсуждать. И если рынок становится «одним большим мемом», то выигрывают проекты, которые прямо превращают торговлю в игру, а участие — в принадлежность к сообществу.

На этом фоне неудивительно, что внимание перетекает в мем‑токены с «культурой трейдинга»: они не обещают решить все проблемы мира, но решают более приземленную — удерживают интерес, когда хочется действия. В этой логике Maxi Doge становится не «еще одним мемом», а попыткой упаковать азарт высокорисковой торговли в понятный, вирусный и соревновательный формат.

У многих розничных игроков одна и та же боль: «киты» двигают рынок объемом, а им остается либо догонять движение, либо искать способ усилить свой результат через дисциплину, стратегию и сообщество на биржах криптовалют. Именно здесь проекты вроде Maxi Doge стараются сыграть роль «социального рычага», который компенсирует нехватку капитала вовлеченностью и механиками.

Почему мем‑рынок снова превращается в арену для трейдеров

Последние месяцы показали, что спекулятивные нарративы возвращаются волнами: как только биткоин перестает быть «прямой линией вверх», аудитория разбивается на два лагеря. Одни уходят в ожидание и кеш. Другие — в краткосрочную охоту за доходностью, где мем‑сектор становится витриной настроений и риска.

Статистические обзоры рынка отмечают, что в 2025 году дневные объемы торгов мем‑монетами регулярно превышали $5 млрд, а сама категория переживала резкие ускорения роста в отдельные периоды. Это не гарантия доходности, но маркер спроса на «истории», которые быстро распространяются и быстро конвертируются в сделки.

Отсюда и конкуренция форматов. Одни мем‑проекты делают ставку на «картинку и шутку». Другие — на геймификацию, турниры, стимулы для удержания и социальные механики. В такой гонке Maxi Doge — лишь один из вариантов, но он вписывается в тренд «мем как торговое сообщество».

Как Maxi Doge упаковывает «культуру 1000x» в соревнование

Центральная идея Maxi Doge — культ «королевского» плеча. С практической стороны проект делает акцент на соревновательной механике: закрытые для участников конкурсы по результативности торговли с таблицами лидеров и наградами. Это важный сдвиг для мем‑сегмента: внимание удерживается не только обещанием пампа, но и регулярным событием. Вокруг него строится активность сообщества.

Триггеры интереса уже заметны в цифрах. Предпродажа привлекла $4,3 млн, а токены предлагаются по $0,000273 — это дает четкую метрику спроса, которую рынок обычно отслеживает в реальном времени.

При этом данные по крупным покупкам тоже подогревают историю: трекеры показывают 2 значимые транзакции на общую сумму $503K. Крупнейшая — на $251K от 11 октября 2025 года.

$MAXI подойдет тем, кто ищет мем‑проект, который делает ставку на дисциплину, турниры и культуру трейдинга.

Legendary analyst Peter Brandt has criticized XRP investors, describing them as uneducated. His criticism comes amid the drop below the psychological $2 level, despite recent fundamentals that paint a bullish picture for the altcoin. 

Peter Brandt Describes XRP Investors As “Uneducated”

In an X post, Brandt stated that XRP investors, who are permabulls, are the most uneducated and biased set of people he has seen over his 50 years of trading. The veteran trader classified this set of investors alongside those who trumpet Silver. He also highlighted how this was a big deal considering that he has traded thousands of contracts of every commodity, stock indexes, and many cryptos. 

XRP has, over the years, been known to have one of the strongest crypto communities, which commonly refer to themselves as the ‘XRP Army.’ Brandt has, on several occasions, been criticized by some investors over some of his bearish predictions for the altcoin. This has led to him calling them out in the past whenever he makes such predictions. 

It is worth mentioning that Brandt had also earlier in the month asserted that the “most madly obsessed perma-bulls” on earth are bulls. Although the veteran trader didn’t state an exact reason for making these statements, some pundits have developed a knack for making outlandish price predictions. 

An example of such a pundit is Barry C, who recently stated that the price will skyrocket from $2 to $1,000 a lot sooner than people anticipate. The pundit has in the past alluded to banks’ potential adoption of the token as a factor that could spark the rally to $1,000. He recently highlighted the OCC’s grant of a conditional approval to Ripple to operate as a bank, which provides a boost for the altcoin. 

Largest IQ Holder Is Now A Bull

XRP pundit Zach Rector clapped back against Brandt’s statement, noting that the largest IQ holder is now an XRP bull. The largest IQ holder, Young Hoon Kim, recently revealed that he had started buying the token, having become bullish on the altcoin. He also predicted that the altcoin could reach a new all-time high (ATH) before the year ends. 

Meanwhile, in his latest X post, Kim opined that the price could potentially reach $100 over the next five years. However, he didn’t mention what could spark such a parabolic price surge for the altcoin. It is worth mentioning that such predictions have raised eyebrows because of what the altcoin’s market cap will be if it reaches such price targets. A $100 price target would give XRP a market cap of almost $10 trillion. 

At the time of writing, the token’s price is trading at around $1.98, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Один из самых обсуждаемых игроков хайстейкс-сцены, Ник Эйрболл, официально стал амбассадором CoinPoker.

Партнерство было объявлено в символичный момент — сразу после его громкой победы в Million Dollar Marathon на Hustler Casino Live, где он заработал $1,35 млн менее чем за 10 часов игры.

В честь сотрудничества CoinPoker и Ник Эйрболл запускают крупный розыгрыш для новых игроков, подчеркивая амбиции рума закрепиться в статусе площадки номер один для онлайн-покера высоких ставок.

Хайстейкс-звезда Hustler Casino Live присоединился к CoinPoker после выигрыша $1,35 млн и уже сыграл в топовых онлайн-играх платформы

CoinPoker объявил о подписании Нихила «Nik Airball» Аркота в качестве нового амбассадора бренда. Эйрболл — одна из самых ярких фигур современной живой покерной сцены США, прославившийся благодаря бескомпромиссной и агрессивной игре в дорогих кеш-играх Hustler Casino Live. Его спокойствие на фоне шестизначных колебаний банка и готовность играть против сильнейших соперников сделали его любимцем зрителей и ключевым персонажем хайстейкс-трансляций.

В рамках сотрудничества Ник Эйрболл разыгрывает 1% от своего недавнего выигрыша — $13 500. Принять участие в акции могут новые игроки CoinPoker, зарегистрировавшиеся с промокодом AIRBALL. Розыгрыш продлится в течение декабря, а победители будут объявлены в социальных сетях Эйрболла и CoinPoker. По масштабам это один из крупнейших розыгрышей среди амбассадорских кампаний рума.

Сам Ник отметил, что его привлек подход CoinPoker к развитию онлайн-покера, акцент на этике и прозрачности. Эти ценности совпадают с позиционированием платформы как «дома хайстейкс-покера». CoinPoker регулярно предлагает игры с лимитами вплоть до NL и PLO $1 000/$2 000, а также проводит Cash Game World Championship — серию, ориентированную на сильнейших кеш-регуляров.

Показательно, что Эйрболл уже принял участие в VIP-игре CGWC на CoinPoker, где сыграл против таких известных профессионалов, как Jungleman, в формате Seven Deuce Game на лимитах $50/$100. Это стало первым сигналом того, что партнерство будет сопровождаться не только маркетинговыми активностями, но и реальным хайстейкс-контентом.

Заключение

Сотрудничество Ника Эйрболла и CoinPoker выглядит логичным шагом для обеих сторон: харизматичный хайстейкс-игрок усиливает медийное присутствие рума, а CoinPoker предоставляет ему онлайн-платформу, соответствующую его уровню и стилю игры.

Розыгрыш $13 500 и участие Эйрболла в топовых играх подчеркивают стремление CoinPoker конкурировать за внимание серьезных игроков и укреплять свои позиции на рынке онлайн-покера.

Quantum risk has become a recurring stress point in Bitcoin discourse, often framed as an existential threat. The claim usually follows a familiar arc: quantum computing is advancing quickly, cryptography is vulnerable, and Bitcoin isn’t adapting fast enough.

Marty Bent doesn’t buy that framing. In his Dec. 14 episode, Bent acknowledged that quantum computing represents a genuine risk — not just for Bitcoin, but for any system built on modern cryptography — while pushing back on the idea that Bitcoin developers are ignoring the issue.

“Short answer is yes, it is a risk,” Bent said. “But it’s not only a risk for Bitcoin. It’s a risk for any system that depends on cryptography for security.”

What Developers Are Doing To Make Bitcoin Quantum-Safe

What tends to get lost, he argued, is the work already underway. Bent pointed to ongoing developer discussions and, more recently, a research paper published by Blockstream’s Jonas Nick and Mikhail Kutunov examining hash-based, post-quantum signature schemes tailored specifically for Bitcoin.

“I just wanted to make this video to push back on that notion,” Bent said, referring to claims that Bitcoin isn’t moving fast enough. “Because I think it’s pretty clear if you’ve been following Bitcoin development discussions over the last year, the quantum risk is certainly being taken seriously and the conversations have started.”

Nick summarized the paper in a Dec. 9 post on X, describing it as an analysis of post-quantum schemes optimized for Bitcoin’s constraints rather than generic cryptographic benchmarks. Bent described the work as a signal that research is shifting from abstract concern to concrete design space.

Hash-based signatures are conceptually simple and rely solely on hash functions, which is a primitive Bitcoin already trusts.

While NIST has standardized SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+), we investigate alternatives that are better suited to Bitcoin’s specific needs.

Nick wrote via X: “Hash-based signatures are conceptually simple and rely solely on hash functions, which is a primitive Bitcoin already trusts. While NIST has standardized SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+), we investigate alternatives that are better suited to Bitcoin’s specific needs. We explore in detail how various optimizations and parameter choices affect size and performance. Signature size can be reduced to ~3-4KB, which is comparable to lattice-based signature schemes (ML-DSA).”

The challenge, Bent emphasized, isn’t a lack of candidate solutions. It’s that Bitcoin is a globally distributed system with nearly 17 years of operational history, and changes at the protocol level come with heavy trade-offs. “Bitcoin is a globally distributed peer-to-peer system that depends on consensus protocol rules that are very hard to change,” Bent said. “And you really don’t want to change them too often.”

That reality complicates any transition to quantum-resistant signatures. Existing address types, HD wallets, multisig setups, and threshold schemes all need to be considered. And beyond compatibility, there’s the question of performance.

“One of the biggest hurdles when approaching this problem in Bitcoin is that many quantum-resistant schemes are very data intensive,” Bent said. “Yes, there are many different schemes that can be implemented. However, they come with trade-offs — particularly verification and bandwidth trade-offs.”

Larger signatures can slow block propagation and make it more expensive to run a full node, which directly impacts decentralization. The Blockstream paper focuses heavily on that tension, exploring optimizations that could reduce signature sizes to a few kilobytes while keeping verification costs manageable.

“They feel pretty confident that they’ve done the research to find signature schemes that would have a nice trade-off balance,” Bent said. “You get quantum resistance, but at the same time it remains conducive for people to download full nodes and verify transactions without needing a significant amount of bandwidth and data storage.”

Bent was careful not to frame the research as a finished solution. Instead, he described it as groundwork — mapping the problem space early so the network isn’t caught flat-footed if quantum capabilities advance faster than expected.

“This is by no means like, ‘hey, we solved the problem,’” he said. “But we are taking this problem seriously, doing research and beginning to figure out ways in which we could solve the quantum risk that may or may not manifest in the medium to long term.”

He also noted that BTC tends to be singled out in quantum discussions, even though most of the internet relies on cryptographic assumptions that would face similar pressure in a true post-quantum scenario.

“If quantum computers do come, Bitcoin is not the only thing,” Bent said. “Almost everything you touch on the internet is depending on some cryptographic security at some point.”

Everyone’s panicking about quantum computing killing bitcoin.

But they’re ignoring what just got released.@martybent explains. pic.twitter.com/uyRIjpGuNY

— TFTC (@TFTC21) December 14, 2025

For now, Bent’s takeaway was measured. Quantum risk exists. Progress in quantum computing is real. But the narrative that developers are ignoring the issue doesn’t align with what’s happening in technical circles.

“Very smart developers, cryptographers more importantly, are researching the problem,” he said. “If you know where to look, it’s pretty clear that people are preparing for this.” Not solved. Not ignored. Just quietly being worked on.

At press time, BTC traded at $89,854.

Bitcoin’s bounce last week was quickly cut off by growing volatility in the broader crypto market, causing the price to fall below the pivotal $90,000 mark once again. Given the recent price fluctuations, investors’ sentiment, especially those on crypto exchanges, has shifted as inflows from BTC wholecoiners plummet.

Binance Sees Sharp Drop In BTC Wholecoiner Inflows

While the price of Bitcoin pulls back this new week, there is one key metric that is currently standing out. This metric is the BTC Wholecoiners Inflows on Binance, which is starting to tell a different story about investors on the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.

After examining this metric, Darkfost, a market analyst and author at CryptoQuant, revealed that on the Binance platform, wholecoiner deposits are drying up. Specifically, wholecoiner inflows imply transactions larger than 1 BTC, which provides vital insight into both current selling pressure and the broader evolution of the market.

Data shows that the inflows from this cohort are declining when compared to past years. Presently, BTC’s yearly average now sits around 6,500 BTC, representing a level not seen since 2018. Meanwhile, on the shorter time frame, the weekly average is situated near 5,200 BTC, marking one of its lowest readings of this cycle.

While the wholecoiner inflows dry up, the pattern that inflows have followed this cycle in comparison to previous ones is very intriguing. Even as Bitcoin continued to rise, wholecoiner inflows to Binance have steadily decreased rather than rising as they once did.

Beyond indicating that investors with sizable Bitcoin holdings are less inclined to sell, this trend could also point to a deeper structural shift in the market. With Bitcoin’s valuation experiencing a steady increase, owning a full BTC has become extremely difficult, which naturally decreases the total number of transactions larger than 1 BTC.

At the same time, Darkfost highlighted that there are now more options available in the ecosystem for owning or trading Bitcoin. Even crypto exchanges have multiplied, and the steady growth of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) provides more venues, a trend that is likely to redirect flows that previously went nearly exclusively to major exchanges such as Binance.

BTC Still Trading Below Short-Term Cost Basis

Bitcoin is still trading below the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis located at $105,400. What this means is that the crypto king has been trading below the level for nearly 2 months now. However, Darkfost stated that staying beneath the level for such an extended period is not uncommon. 

During previous corrections, the duration of these phases has ranged from two months to over four months, making the present correction fall well within a typical range. However, since this indication tends to stay negative for much longer after the market actually enters a bear phase, it would be crucial to prevent Bitcoin from declining any further.

In the meantime, this does not invalidate the notion that these periods remain a signal for accumulation opportunities. Nevertheless, caution is still crucial, and access points should be carefully optimized. Darkfost believes that an accumulation of this type is only appropriate for long-term investors.

After hitting a new all-time high back in October 2025, the Bitcoin price has been in what appears to be a consistent downtrend, pushing it to new yearly lows. The first wave was triggered by sell-offs from large accounts, coinciding with the 10/10 crash. Since then, each recovery attempt has been met with more sell-offs, preventing the Bitcoin price from reclaiming $100,000. As sentiment continues to trend low, the chances of a meaningful recovery grow slimmer by the day.

Bitcoin Price Correction May Not Be Over

A crypto analyst on the TradingView website has highlighted where the Bitcoin price is and the next decision levels for the cryptocurrency. Right now, it continues to trend low, favoring the bears. Nevertheless, there is still the opportunity for the bulls to take over if momentum picks up.

The first major level that the Bitcoin price must reclaim lies at $90,000, which is now a stronghold for bears. As the crypto analyst explains, the digital asset would have to reclaim and hold this level for the price to bounce. In the case of a bounce, then the cryptocurrency is expected to maintain its bullish structure.

The bullish continuation would see the first major resistance being retested at $97,000. Once beaten, then the bulls could move on quickly to $100,000, a psychological level that could trigger the influx of investors back into the market.

However, with the Bitcoin price already falling below $90,000 over the weekend, it is more likely that the bearish part of the prediction will play out. As the post explains, failing to hold $90,000 is incredibly bearish for the price and would be the beginning of another decline.

Once the Bitcoin price begins to fall, there is not much holding it before it reaches the next major resistance at $78,000. This means it is likely that the Bitcoin price will fall by over 20% before eventually finding its footing above $78,000 and readying for another bounce. “This is the point where the next major direction gets decided,” the analyst said.
