فئة الأصول التي حصلت على قدر كبير من الحماس من المستثمرين هذا العام هي العملات الرقمية. مشابهة للمقدار الذي يمكن تتبعه من حركة الذكاء الاصطناعي (AI) إلى مجموعة مختارة من الفائزين ("الممتازون السبعة")، يبدو أن المستثمرين يطبقون نفس النموذج على العملات الرقمية.

اثنان من أكثر العملات الرقمية شعبية في الوقت الحالي هما بيتكوين و XRP (CRYPTO: XRP). اعتبارًا من كتابة هذا (28 يوليو)، سعر بيتكوين حوالي 120,000 دولار يقترب من أعلى مستوياته على الإطلاق. بينما، بسعر 3 دولارات فقط، يبدو أن XRP أكثر تواضعًا.

خريطة طريق هجرة الشبكة الرئيسية حسب الأولويات وشرح توكنوميكس باي والتوريد
مرحباً أيها الرواد! ستوضح هذه المدونة خارطة طريق انتقال الشبكة الرئيسية بناءً على أولوياتها، وتوضح آليات عمل رمز باي وتوريده.

خريطة طريق هجرة الشبكة الرئيسية حسب الأولويات
عند مناقشة انتقال Pi Mainnet، ضع الحقائق التالية في الاعتبار. (1) يجب أن تتم عملية الانتقال لشبكة تضم عشرات الملايين بناءً على بيانات التعدين المعقدة على مدار السنوات الست الماضية لضمان الدقة والأمان والإنصاف للرواد الصادقين من خلال استبعاد الغش. إنها ليست مجرد عملية إنزال جوي بسيطة لعشرات الآلاف من المحافظ، دون مراعاة كبيرة للبيانات الإضافية، كما هو الحال في العديد من مشاريع التشفير الأخرى. (2) لقد انتقلت الشبكة بالفعل لأكثر من 12 مليون شخص، وهو في حد ذاته إنجاز لقابلية التوسع في الصناعة، لا سيما بالنظر إلى عمليات KYC والهجرة المبنية محليًا بدون تكلفة فيات للمستخدمين. (3) عندما تم تحديد شرط الانتقال للانتقال إلى Open Network ليكون 10 ملايين - مما يحقق التوازن بين حاجة الشبكة إلى الانتقال إلى Open Network في الوقت المناسب وإدراج ملايين الرواد في Mainnet - كان من المفهوم والمتوقع أنه سيكون هناك أشخاص بحاجة إلى الهجرة بعد إطلاق Open Network.

XRP extends decline from its record high of $3.66, reflecting headwinds in the broader cryptocurrency market.
Brazilian securitization and fund management company debuts blockchain-based platform for managing private credit on the XRP Ledger.
XRP futures Open Interest uptrend takes a breather as RSI decline suggests cooling in the spot market.
Ripple (XRP) price is extending an intraday red candle on Wednesday, trading at around $3.27 in the American session. The decline follows a rejection from Monday's swing, which stopped just shy of the token's record high of $3.66, reached on Friday.

XRP's technical outlook indicates a potential shift to bearishness in the short term, underpinned by a decline in futures contract Open Interest (OI) alongside a decrease in the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Brazil's VERT brings tokenized credit to the XRP Ledger
VERT, one of the leading providers of securitization and fund management services, has launched a blockchain-based platform to manage private credit on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

According to the announcement made by Ripple on Wednesday, the "platform was developed to digitally mirror securitization and fund operations, with on-chain records of key events and transactions."

VERT envisions robust capital markets in Brazil, fostering efficiency, transparency and accessibility with the backing of a secure digital infrastructure.

The blockchain platform has already conducted its first successful transaction, which entailed the issuance of an Agribusiness Receivables Certificate (CRA) valued at approximately $130 million.

A CRA refers to a regulated financial instrument used to bundle futures cash flows to create investment products. These investment products are popular in Brazil. They are used to finance agricultural products as well as exports.

The issuance of CRAs on-chain unlocks higher levels of security, transparency, traceability, and efficiency, while leveraging the regulatory-compliant features of the XRPL, including low-cost transactions. Ripple added that the adoption extends to the recently launched XRPL EVM Sidechain, which supports an Ethereum-compatible environment, with smart contracts for automation and reporting.

"We are enabling operation events to be recorded in the most granular way possible, ensuring traceability and transparency with event records increasingly closer to the moment they occur, approaching real time," VERT's Director of Digital Assets, Gabriel Braga, said.

Ripple continues to focus on supporting the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) by tapping the XRPL EVM Sidechain, which recently launched on the XRP Ledger mainnet.

Meanwhile, interest in the XRP token on the derivatives market is slowing down, following a sharp rise in the futures Open Interest (OI) to $10.94 billion, the highest level this year.
CoinGlass data shows the OI averaging $10.79 billion on Wednesday, reflecting a minor drop in interest. The price decline has also seen a surge in liquidations, reaching $29 million over the past 24 hours.

Long position holders accounted for the lion's share of the liquidations at approximately $26 million, with $2.8 million of short positions wiped out.
Technical outlook: XRP bleeds as the RSI drops
XRP price is trading at $3.29 after losing support at $3.40, its previous all-time high. The decline in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) from extremely overbought conditions at 88 to 68 underpins the changing market dynamics, possibly due to profit-taking and sentiment in the broader cryptocurrency market.

A further decline of the RSI would indicate a reduction in buying pressure, which may accelerate the losses in XRP toward lower support levels at $3.20, tested in late January, and $3.00, which was previously tested as resistance in early March.
Traders should also monitor the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator for further signs of weakness, particularly when the blue line crosses below the red signal line. Such an occurrence would likely result in a sell signal, encouraging traders to reduce their exposure.

Still, the uptrend remains intact if bulls collect liquidity at the current level, keeping the bid for gains above the record high of $3.66 alive.

Key Points:
1 XRP slips below $3.5 as SEC remains silent on Ripple appeal vote during July 18’s closed-door meeting.
2. Legal experts expect the SEC to drop its Ripple appeal, but the timing of a vote remains uncertain.
3. XRP’s path to $4 hinges on SEC’s vote, ETF filings, and further clarity on US crypto regulation.

Ripple Case: SEC Silent on Appeal Withdrawal
Hopes of the SEC voting to drop its appeal in the SEC vs. Ripple case on Thursday’s closed meeting faded on Friday, July 18. The SEC’s silence weighed on sentiment, with XRP pulling back from a July 18 all-time high of $3.6629 to sub-$3.50 levels.

Speculation about an SEC vote had intensified in the lead-up to Thursday’s closed meeting. However, former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel tempered expectations of a vote so soon after Judge Torres rejected the joint motion for an indicative ruling on settlement terms. He stated:
The next SEC closed meeting is slated for July 24, four weeks since Judge Torres’ ruling. This may be enough time for the vote to be included on the agenda.

Fagel previously suggested it may take several weeks or more, spotlighting the upcoming closed meeting. He stated:
SEC Appeal Withdrawal and XRP-Spot ETFs
Legal experts, including former SEC officials, expect the SEC to drop the appeal. An official vote could expedite approval of XRP-spot ETFs. 21Shares, Bitwise, Canary Capital, CoinShares, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale (rule change), ProShares, Volatility Shares, and WisdomTree have filed for XRP-spot ETFs.

However, one notable absentee is BlackRock (BLK), potentially crucial for the success of an XRP-spot ETF market. The ETF issuer met with the SEC Crypto Task Force in May to address ETF approval standards. Since then, the SEC announced it is working toward a framework to streamline the filing and approval process.
BlackRock could potentially file an application for an iShares XRP Trust after the US Court of Appeals grants motions to drop the SEC and Ripple’s appeals and the agency releases its standards for crypto ETFs.

For context, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has seen net inflows of $56.48 billion.

ETF Store President Nate Geraci remarked on BlackRock’s dominance in the crypto-spot ETF space, stating:
XRP Price Outlook: SEC Appeal and ETF Headlines
XRP fell 2.04% on Friday, July 18, partially reversing Thursday’s 14.69% breakout to close at $3.4153. The token underperformed the broader crypto market, which dropped 0.42% to a total market cap of $3.79 trillion.

XRP’s near-term price outlook depends on the SEC’s appeal vote, US XRP-spot ETF-related news, and progress of the CLARITY Act. On Thursday, the House passed the bill, sending it to the Senate for consideration.

A breakout above the July 18 all-time high of $3.6629 could pave the way to the $4 level. A sustained move break above $4 may allow bulls to target the $5 mark. Conversely, a break below $3.3 could expose sub-$3 levels.
Bitcoin Dips on New US Tariff Threat
While XRP retreated on the SEC’s silence, bitcoin (BTC) dipped as investors reacted to US trade headlines. President Trump is reportedly pushing for tariffs of between 15 and 20% in any trade deal with the EU. Higher US tariffs on EU goods could influence US inflation and potentially delay Fed rate cuts.

US BTC-Spot ETF Market Inflow Streak at Risk
The US BTC-spot ETF market extended its inflow streak to eleven sessions on July 17, with net inflows of $522.6 million. However, trade developments and potentially some profit-taking impacted flow trends for Friday, July 18. According to Farside Investors, key flows for July 18 included:

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) had net outflows of $81.3 million.
ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) reported net outflows of $33.6 million.
Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) saw net outflows of $17.9 million.
With BlackRock’s (BLK) iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO) flow data pending, total US BTC-spot ETF outflows reached $133.3 million. Strong inflows into IBIT would extend the total inflow streak to twelve sessions.

BTC Price Outlook: Trade Headlines and Spot ETF Flows in Focus
BTC fell 1.03% on July 18, reversing Thursday’s 0.39% gain to close at $117,878.

The near-term price trajectory depends on several key factors. These include legislative developments, trade headlines, and spot ETF flow trends.

Potential scenarios:

Bearish Scenario: Legislation setbacks, tariff hikes, hawkish Fed cues, and ETF outflows. A combination of these may push BTC toward $115,000, potentially exposing the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Bullish Scenario: Crypto bill progression, easing trade friction, dovish Fed signals, and ETF inflows. Under these scenarios, BTC could target the all-time high of $122,057.

ثومز أب توسع حيازاتها من العملات المشفرة خارج البيتكوين
وافقت شركة ثومز أب ميديا كورب، المدرجة في ناسداك، على خطة استثمار بقيمة 250 مليون دولار لتوسيع حيازاتها من العملات المشفرة. وافق مجلس إدارة الشركة على الاستراتيجية، وستشمل الأصول الرقمية، بما في ذلك XRP وUSDC وETH وSOL وDOGE وLTC.
كانت الشركة تمتلك سابقًا البيتكوين فقط، مع 19 بيتكوين تقدر قيمتها بحوالي 2.3 مليون دولار. ستستند الاستراتيجية الجديدة إلى إنشاء محفظة أكثر تنوعًا. في الوقت نفسه، تعني الاستراتيجية الانتقال من تعرض لعملة واحدة إلى مجموعة متنوعة من الرموز. ستخصص الشركة وفقًا لظروف السوق وقواعد المخاطر الداخلية.

XRP holders are growing increasingly frustrated and confused over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) silence on the Ripple case. After years of litigation, many believed the legal battle was finally coming to an end. But now, uncertainty has returned as the SEC has yet to officially close the case.
XRP Community Wants Clarity
The source of frustration is clear: Ripple had publicly announced it was withdrawing its appeal, and many in the XRP community assumed the SEC would do the same. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) have been buzzing with posts from confused XRP supporters asking the same question: “Why hasn’t the SEC announced that the case is over?”XRP holders were hopeful that, with both Ripple and the SEC seemingly agreeing to drop the remaining appeal, the long legal saga was finally behind them. They now feel that Ripple and the community deserve closure and transparency after years of uncertainty that have weighed heavily on the price and reputation of XRP.
SEC Process Explained: Not That Simple
Former SEC attorney Marc Fagel stepped in to clarify the situation, explaining that while the SEC’s staff may have decided to drop the appeal after the court’s June 26 order (which denied modifying the remedies), there’s still a formal approval process that needs to be completed.
Just the Beginning
Here’s how it works: once the enforcement staff at the SEC makes a decision, like withdrawing an appeal, they submit a recommendation to the SEC’s commissioners, who must then formally vote to approve it. This is a routine process and typically takes one to two months. In urgent situations, the SEC can speed things up, but that doesn’t appear to be the case here.
Fagel explained that, while the commissioners have previously approved similar dismissals quickly (such as during earlier settlement stages), this time the process seems to be moving at its usual pace.
Was Ripple’s Announcement Misleading?
Crypto lawyer James Farrell added another layer to the conversation. He said that some of the confusion may stem from how Ripple phrased their announcement. While Ripple said they were dropping the appeal and suggested the SEC was doing the same, Farrell said that experienced legal professionals typically use more cautious wording.
Instead of saying the SEC has dropped the appeal, most would say something like “the SEC staff has agreed to recommend dismissing the appeal” — a small but important distinction. That wording makes it clear that the final decision still lies with the SEC commissioners and isn’t immediate.

بيتكوين
BTC/USD
-0.59%
ومعظم العملات المشفرة الأخرى كانت تتراجع يوم الأربعاء. بدا أن إعلان اتفاقية التجارة بين الولايات المتحدة واليابان قد عزز الأسواق المالية، لكن العملات المشفرة لم تستفد.
بينما كانت S&P 500 تحقق زيادة بنسبة 0.2% في تداولات الصباح، لم تترجم زيادة المعنويات بالفعل إلى العملات المشفرة. قد يكون ذلك بسبب الارتفاع القوي الأخير في سوق العملات المشفرة - حيث ارتفع بيتكوين بأكثر من 10% في يوليو، بينما ارتفع الألتكوين الشهير XRP
XRPUSD
-11.93%

ارتفع بنسبة 55% خلال نفس الفترة.
انخفض بيتكوين بنسبة 0.5% خلال الـ 24 ساعة الماضية في وقت مبكر من يوم الأربعاء، حيث بلغ حوالي 117,585 دولار، متراجعًا من أعلى مستوى له خلال 24 ساعة فوق 120,000 دولار. حقق أكبر عملة مشفرة في العالم أعلى مستوى قياسي بلغ 123,166 دولار الأسبوع الماضي وسط حماس بشأن التشريعات المتعلقة بالعملات المشفرة التي دعمها إدارة ترامب.

PI هي واحدة من العملات البديلة القليلة التي في المنطقة الخضراء اليوم.
محاولة البيتكوين لتجاوز عتبة 120,000 دولار توقفت مرة أخرى في مسارها، وانخفضت الأصول بمقدار أربعة آلاف دولار تقريبًا في ساعات قبل أن تبدأ في التعافي.
سجلت العملات البديلة خسائر كبيرة بعد تحقيق مكاسب ملحوظة البارحة، حيث سجلت HYPE وXLM وHBAR أكبر الخسائر.

تم رفض BTC عند 120,000 دولار
منذ يوم الاثنين الماضي، عندما وصلت BTC إلى أعلى مستوى لها على الإطلاق فوق 123,000 دولار، لم تتمكن من استعادة زخمها، الذي قد تحول نحو العملات البديلة. في الأسبوع التالي، دخلت العملة المشفرة في مرحلة توحيد أخرى، حيث فقدت بعض الأرض وتداولت بشكل جانبي حول 118,000 دولار.

Ripple (XRP) surged 25.8% this week, surpassing $170 billion in market cap, once again becoming the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. XRP supporters broke through the key resistance level of $2.80, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum as the cryptocurrency market continues to hit new all-time highs.
We are closely monitoring the rise of XRP (XRP) at HashJ, interpreting its price action and providing expert insights into future trends.
Ripple (XRP) ETF Listing: A Disruptive Move for Institutional Investors
ProShares will list the first Ripple (XRP) futures ETF in the United States on July 18, 2025, which is significant and will make it easier than ever for institutional investors to obtain XRP.
The momentum has prompted 11 major asset managers, including Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, and 21Shares, to file applications, which has become a vote of confidence in XRP on Wall Street.
Legal Clarity in Sight: Ripple’s Dispute with the SEC Is About to Be Settled
There is also positive momentum on the regulatory front. Market speculation that the SEC may withdraw its appeal in the Ripple case, which will further solidify the 2023 court ruling that XRP sales to retail investors are not securities.
Polymarket believes that there is an 88% chance that the spot XRP ETF will be approved by December 2025. July 21 and July 25 are two dates that could finalize the leveraged ETF and kick off wider ETF acceptance.
Multi-year Technical Breakout: XRP Targets $6-8
The weekly chart for XRP shows that it has broken out of the symmetrical triangle that has formed since its all-time high of $3.84 in 2018. XRP is currently trading at $2.79, and volume and momentum are proving that this is the right move.
As XRP retraces its 200-week MA at $1.05, the technical picture suggests that it has a solid foundation for further gains. Current resistance is at $3.19, followed by $4.31, with the ultimate target around $6.00.

Pi Coin (PI) is trading around $0.4540 at the time of writing with a market cap of over $3.5 billion and daily trading volumes exceeding $100 million.
Pi Coin Price Prediction for the Next 10 Years: While the short-term performance has been mixed—up 2.31% in 24 hours but down 10.10% over the week—the bigger question remains: where is Pi headed over the next decade?
The Road Ahead for Pi Network
Originally launched as a mobile-first mining experiment, Pi Network has transitioned into a more structured ecosystem with growing user activity and increasing trading availability. As the project inches closer to full mainnet utility and broader listing on major exchanges, speculation around its long-term value is intensifying.
Key Factors Driving Long-Term Growth
Adoption & Utility: Wider adoption for payments, apps, and smart contracts will be crucial for PI’s utility. If Pi Network successfully integrates with real-world businesses or develops its own ecosystem, demand could surge.
Exchange Listings: Expansion to more centralized exchanges (beyond over-the-counter or IOU listings) will likely trigger liquidity inflows.
Tokenomics: A transparent and limited supply model will be key to driving value. The total supply of Pi is still uncertain in public markets.
Community Base: With over 40 million users, Pi has one of the largest pre-launch crypto communities, which may support price stability and long-term interest.
Pi Coin 10-Year Price Forecast (2025–2035)
Here’s a speculative breakdown of where Pi Coin could head over the next 10 years, under different growth assumptions:
By 2025, prices may hover around the current range ($0.45–$0.70) unless major exchange listings or real-world utility arrive quickly.
In 2026, with successful listings and app development, Pi could rise to $1.50 or more, especially if mainstream platforms begin integrating it.
By 2027, broader adoption could push the price to $2–$5 if the network begins powering decentralized finance or commerce tools.
In 2028, further growth could take it to $7 or higher, assuming the ecosystem expands with developers and partnerships.
Toward 2030, if Pi becomes a recognized digital asset with consistent utility, projections range from $10–$15 under favorable conditions.
By 2035, in an aggressive scenario where Pi is used globally across platforms and has become a staple in Web3 applications, price estimates range between $20 and $60.
Disclaimer: These projections are speculative and based on current market trends, adoption potential, and comparative growth from similar projects. They should not be considered financial advice.
Could Pi Coin Become the Next Big Thing?
If Pi successfully launches a scalable blockchain network with real utility and manages to stay compliant with global regulations, its growth potential could rival that of earlier success stories like Ethereum or Solana. However, the path is filled with regulatory, technical, and community-driven challenges.

The SEC may vote to drop its Ripple appeal, a move that could clear the path for XRP-spot ETF approvals.
Canary Capital expects XRP ETFs to outperform ETH and SOL ETFs due to legal clarity and Ripple’s global footprint.
GENIUS Act Revote Drives XRP Above $3 to Target All-Time High
House vote frenzy triggered an XRP and broader crypto market rally as the GENIUS Act inched closer to President Trump’s desk.
On Wednesday, July 15, the House progressed the GENIUS Act, aiming to deliver a regulatory framework for stablecoins. The bill could reach President Trump’s desk before the weekend. XRP would likely benefit from the legislation, since regulatory clarity over stablecoins could boost adoption of Ripple’s RLUSD, a stablecoin product.
There were also procedural votes in favor of progressing the CLARITY Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.
SEC vs. Ripple Case: Will the SEC Vote to Drop Its Appeal?
While crypto bills take center stage on the Hill, the SEC vs. Ripple case could also draw investor interest on Thursday, July 17. The SEC will hold its third closed meeting since Judge Analisa Torres rejected the joint motion requesting an indicative ruling on settlement terms.
The SEC and Ripple had agreed to drop their appeals if Judge Torres granted a favorable indicative ruling on the settlement terms. These included lifting the injunction prohibiting XRP sales to institutional investors and lowering the penalty to $50 million. However, Judge Torres’ ruling meant the SEC must vote on dropping its appeal without the settlement terms that were solely in Ripple’s best interest.
The SEC appealed against Judge Torres’ 2023 ruling on Programmatic Sales of XRP. A vote in favor of withdrawing the appeal would end the case. Ripple announced plans to drop its cross-appeal the day after Judge Torres rejected the settlement terms. Notably, the SEC must submit a status report to the US Court of Appeals by August 15. Ripple and the SEC could file motions with the US Court of Appeals to dismiss the appeals before the filing deadline.
An end to the case would reinforce Judge Torres’ rulings that Programmatic Sales are not investment contracts and XRP itself is not a security. The SEC’s appeal withdrawal could potentially expedite the approval of pending XRP-spot ETF applications.
Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel downplayed the chances of an SEC vote later today, stating;
XRP-Spot ETF Market to Outmuscle ETH and SOL-Spot ETFs
Anticipation for the end to the Ripple case and the launch of SOL-spot ETFs has fueled speculation about an XRP-spot ETF market. Canary Capital CEO Steven McLurg commented on the potential success of an XRP-spot ETF market, reportedly stating:
Ripple’s real-world presence and increasing demand for its cross-border settlement products could give XRP the edge over ETH and SOL. A more dominant XRP-spot ETF market may also enable the token to reclaim the #2 ranking by market cap.

XRP Price Outlook: Crypto Bulls, the SEC Closed Meeting, and ETF Headlines
XRP soared 4.11% on Tuesday, July 16, reversing Monday’s 1.33% loss to close at $3.0399. The token outperformed the broader crypto market, which gained 1.87%, taking the total market cap to $3.74 trillion.
XRP’s near-term price trajectory hinges on the crypto bill votes, the SEC’s appeal vote, and US XRP-spot ETF developments.
A breakout above the July 16 high of $3.1017 could pave the way to the 2025 high at $3.3999. A sustained move through $3.3999 may enable the bulls to target the 2018 all-time high of $3.5505.
Conversely, a drop below $3 could bring this week’s low of $2.8056 into play.

XRP nears rare golden cross as XRP ETF rumors reach boiling point
XRP is back in the spotlight this week as a rare chart setup is starting to form, and talk of a possible U.S.-based ETF is bringing fresh attention to the cryptocurrency
As of today, , the 23-day moving average is close to crossing above the 200-day, which has not happened on XRP's chart in months. The lines have not crossed yet, but they are pretty close. Once they converge and the "golden cross" pattern is confirmed, it will be a change in trend strength, and it might set the tone for the next few weeks.
Last week, the XRP price hit $3.06 before dropping a bit to around $2.90. Since then, the price has stayed strong, and the token has continued to trade above all of the major moving averages. The upcoming crossover is developing near $2.37, just below current levels, and could act as a support base if the chart continues to push higher.
In the meantime, there is a lot of buzz about a U.S.-based XRP ETF in the background. People in the know say one product might be announced by July 18. While it is not confirmed, the timing is adding weight to current market activity. The next possible breakout point is the $3.20 mark. If that level gives way, the uncharted $4 zone could come into play.
With technical and structural signals aligning, XRP's price action this week might be influenced as much by what's happening off the chart as on it. #XRP Price Analysis #XRP Price Prediction #XRP News #XRP #Ripple News
