XRP Analyst Thinks The Coin Is Ready To Skyrocket By 21,000% To Over $150

Image
XRP is one of the top performers, looking at the performance over the last three weeks. After sinking below $0.40 in early July, the coin has rebounded sharply, adding 60%. As the coin outperforms leading altcoins like Solana and Ethereum, for example, there could be more room for growth. Is XRP Ready For $150?

Analyst Says ETH Price Will Struggle As Spot Ethereum ETFs Expectations Crash

Image
Pseudonymous trader and analyst Roman has made a bold prediction regarding the ETH price , suggesting that investors should lower their short-term expectations. This comes amid a drop in the hype around the Spot Ethereum ETFs , with these funds currently suffering significant outflows.  What To Expect From The ETH Price Roman mentioned during an interview with Hall of Flame that he doesn’t see Ethereum “doing that well” for the next few months.

No, Russia did not just lift its ban on domestic crypto use

A fake news story circulated today about Russia’s supposed embrace of bitcoin mining and crypto payments. According to excited social media posts, after the lower house of Russia’s legislature passed a bill, Russia “embraces crypto,” “formally legalizes cryptocurrencies,” “has approved a bill on cryptocurrency mining,” and will “legalize bitcoin and crypto as a foreign currency.” The news was barely — if at all — true. But this time, the fake news wasn’t Russia’s fault.

Bitcoin Lightning dev tried to outsmart Secret Service at Trump speech

Last week, Bitcoin Lightning developer Jordi Montes disrupted the US presidential campaign trail and the largest Bitcoin gathering in the world by trying to hide his cigarette lighter inside a conference hall. Bitcoin 2024 organizers scheduled Donald Trump to speak on Saturday, July 27 at 2:00pm and as the majority of the conference’s 20,000 attendees queued to enter Nashville’s Music City Center main stage — some of whom had paid $60,000 for a selfie or $844,600 for roundtable seating — secret Service agents made everyone wait an extra hour. Montes, however, was allowed to enter the main stage area via exit doors , bypassing security scanners and pat-downs. Unsurprisingly, cameras caught his trespass and within seconds, he had been identified via facial recognition. But this wasn’t the only suspicious behavior caught on camera. To avoid giving up his cigarette lighter at one of the venue’s security checkpoints, Montes had found a place to stash it in anoth...

Revolutionizing Finance: Blockchain Cross-Chain Payments

Blockchain technology no doubt is going to be a game changer in the financial sector, and indeed, cross-chain payment stands as one of the most creative inventions. Traditionally, transferring assets between two blockchains has been rather convoluted and inefficient, often involving intermediaries that eventually increase the costs and cause delays. Cross-chain payment resolves these issues by allowing seamless and direct transactions across more than one blockchain network. Interoperability protocols in cross-chain technology empower blockchains to not only communicate with each other but also securely and efficiently transfer assets from one blockchain to another. This, in turn, increases transaction speed and reduces costs, opening DeFi applications to much more. Now, the transferring of assets is free across different platforms, unlocking more potential within trading, lending, and investment opportunities. This enhances liquidity and thus accessibility within the blockchain ecosys...
