The exchange-traded funds tracking the performance of the cross-border asset had a spectacular first month after the mid-November debut, quickly reaching the $1 billion mark. They didn’t see a single red day with more outflows than inflows for nearly two months, with January 7 finally breaking this impressive streak, which was the best in the crypto industry.The tides tin the following few months as the geopolitical uncertainty skyrocketed. Investors chose to stay on the sidelines or withdraw funds from the ETFs. March ended as the first month in the red, with more than $31 million pulled out, while there were multiple days with no reportable action.
However, the ceasefire between the US and Iran was the catalyst the ETFs needed, and the business week ending April 17 saw the single-highest net inflows in three $XRP $BTC

Pi is currently trading around $0.1797, up 4.32% over the past 24 hours, with trading volume near $34 million. Short-term action shows a slight 0.85% dip in the last hour, hinting at a brief cooldown after the recent push.
Pi is sitting in a make-or-break zone right now, around $0.17–$0.18. If buying continues and hype builds into events like Consensus 2026, there are chances it pushes higher toward $0.25 and possibly even $0.40 as some expect. 
Over 10.29 billion PI is already in circulation out of a 100 billion max supply. Meanwhile, exchange outflows are exceeding inflows by about 310,000 tokens, meaning more supply is moving off exchanges. Token unlock pressure is also easing, reducing immediate selling risk.#PiCoreTeam $BTC $pi

The figures put Pi Network in a position of near-total dominance within its category, with no other project coming close in terms of market value. The mobile mining segment, which was largely overlooked in earlier crypto cycles, has grown into a tracked and traded market, with Pi Network as its central asset.
Whether that attention translates into longer-term utility and adoption remains an open question, with the network still working through its mainnet development and ecosystem build-out.#Pioneers👫great $pi $BTC

When you break it down, XRP is in a very specific phase. ~15–20% of supply still sits on exchanges (largely retail deposits), ETFs are only ~1% of supply and skew heavily non-institutional, and there are ~7–8 million activated wallets with a long tail of small holders. At the same time, we’re seeing steady migration to self-custody and growing multi-year HODL cohorts. That combination doesn’t drive price expansion but it constrains downside. So here’s the answer, as best as the data allows: Retail likely accounts for ~40–60% of the effective price floor right now; not by buying, but by not selling. Not perfectly measurable, but directionally clear. Price is moved at the margin by liquidity and flows: market makers, larger players, ETF inflows. But when a large portion of supply becomes inactive, it changes the entire system. XRP today looks like a market where marginal price is thin, but base supply is sticky. That’s a retail fingerprint.#BinanceLaunchesGoldvs.BTCTradingCompetition BTCSurpasses$79K$BTC $XRP

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) on Friday granted its first batch of fiat-backed stablecoin issuer licenses to HSBC and a Standard Chartered-backed joint venture, marking a major step in the city’s push to become a global digital-asset hub.

The approvals allow HSBC and Anchor Financial Technology Co. Ltd. — a joint venture formed by Standard Chartered, Hong Kong Telecommunications and Animoca Brands — to operate under Hong Kong’s new regulatory regime for stablecoins.

The move underscores Hong Kong’s ambition to establish a regulated stablecoin market ahead of the U.S., while the Chinese mainland continues to enforce a sweeping ban on cryptocurrency trading.

XRP is moving beyond its own ledger faster than most observers are tracking. In the past week alone, the token has been bridged to Solana, purchased through WhatsApp via a Solana-based chatbot, and continued pulling steady inflows through its ETF says the market has not connected the dots yet, and that disconnect may be the opportunity.I don’t think that everybody’s putting this together,” Bazzani said in a recent interview. “This is so bullish because it locks up real XRP on the XRP Ledger.”

When XRP is bridged to Solana, the underlying tokens are locked on the XRP Ledger. That is real supply being removed from circulation to support activity on one of crypto’s most active DeFi ecosystems, a dynamic that compounds quietly with every new integration.EthereumFoundationUnstakes$48.9MillionWorthofETH#ShootingIncidentAtWhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner $XRP $BTC

This is because options, or hedging instruments, linked to BlackRock's bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), IBIT, have grown slightly larger on Nasdaq than total bitcoin options trading on the offshore giant Deribit. It is particularly striking that IBIT options have, in just two years, closed the gap with Deribit’s bitcoin options market, which has been operating since 2016.On Friday, the dollar value of open or active IBIT options contracts on Nasdaq, the so-called open interest (OI), was $27.61 billion, slightly higher than the $26.90 billion in Deribit's bitcoin options, according to data tracked by decentralized crypto volatility protocol Volmex.

This milestone indicates that the regulated, institutional-grade bitcoin investment and derivatives infrastructure in the U.S. is no longer second fiddle to the offshore market. Moreover, a booming, regulated market in the U.S. could embolden more Wall Street institutions to explore digital assets, ultimately leading to more mature price discovery.#BalancerAttackerResurfacesAfter5Months #ShootingIncidentAtWhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner $BTC $ETH

crypto industry is frequently finding bankers involved in its top-priority regulatory efforts, and this time, a coalition of bank trade associations has asked the U.S. Department of the Treasury to extend the window in which the public can weigh in on implementation of last year's Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act.

In a letter sent this week to the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., bankers in the U.S. are asking that three different GENIUS Act rule proposals get extended comment periods, at least 60 days after another rule effort (at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) is finished

Bitcoin is trading at $78,200 on Friday, maintaining a constructive bullish bias as it holds above the 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) at roughly $72,807 and $75,513, respectively.

Etherealize updates long-term ETH price prediction to $250000

If Ethereum captures the same monetary premium as bitcoin and gold carry as stores-of-value with a combined market cap of $31 trillion, that implies a price north of $250,000 per ETH.

The report argues ETH is unique in the history of money in being both a value store and a “productive asset.”

Etherealize, the institutional marketing and product arm for the Ethereum ecosystem, has set a new long-term price target for ETH at $250,000, arguing the token represents something of a unique asset in the history of money. 

The price call is significantly lower than Etherealize’s previous $740,000 per token target, set last year during the firm’s first public communique. It is also a significant reach for an asset that is currently trading at $2,300, according to The"It's all about timing and inevitability," Vivek Raman, co-founder of Etherealize, told The Block. "We think Ethereum is going to be the backbone of the global financial system, and that there's going to be one or two digital assets that become the store-of-value assets

Pakistan has halted a $1.5 billion arms agreement with Sudan after Saudi Arabia withdrew financing and asked Islamabad to terminate the deal.

The agreement, which included fighter jets and weapons systems, had reached advanced stages earlier this year and was part of Pakistan’s broader push to expand defence exports into African markets.

Two Pakistani security sources and a diplomatic source said Riyadh’s decision effectively stalled the transaction.“Saudi Arabia has signalled that Pakistan should terminate the deal after it dropped the idea of financing it,” one of the security sources told Reuters.#WhatNextForUSIranConflict #StrategyBTCPurchase $XRP $BTC

XRP-linked ETFs recorded $1.28 billion in inflows over eight consecutive days, a run Mickle described as structurally meaningful rather than noise-driven.

Once an asset enters ETF frameworks, he said, it transitions from a speculative position to a portfolio allocation decision. That shift expands the pool of eligible buyers significantly, particularly among funds and institutions that cannot justify direct token exposure.

XRP ETFs are increasingly appearing alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum in institutional conversations, according to Mickle, suggesting the asset is moving into the mainstream of crypto portfolio construction.

XRP is drawing attention from institutional investors, not because of speculation, but because of what it does, according to analysts who appeared on The XRP Podcast.

Mickle, speaking alongside host Paul Barron, said large capital allocators are entering crypto through a fundamentally different channel than before. Rather than picking individual tokens, institutions are now coming in through ETFs and managed products, which has raised the bar for what gets considered.

For XRP clears that bar. Cross-border payments remain slow and costly across the global banking infrastructure, and XRP addresses that problem directly. That clarity, he argued, is exactly what institutional decision-makers respond to.#JustinSunSuesWorldLibertyFinancial #KelpDAOExploitFreeze $ETH $XRP

BRICS is a bloc of major emerging economies that has made building sovereign gold reserves a deliberate policy priority. The original five — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — were joined in January 2024 by Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE, and in January 2025 by Indonesia. That brings confirmed full membership to ten countries. Saudi Arabia was invited but its formal accession remains unconfirmed. Argentina declined in late 2023. 

The bloc now represents approximately 40% of global GDP (purchasing power parity) and roughly half of the world’s population [IMF / BRICS Brazil Presidency]. When nations of this economic weight make coordinated reserve decisions, they move markets structurally — not temporarily.

The U.S. and Iran are negotiating over a three-page plan to end the war, with one element under discussion being that the U.S. would release $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds in return for Iran giving up its stockpile of enriched uranium, according to two U.S. officials and two additional sources briefed on the talks.

Why it matters: There has been steady progress in the talks this week, though significant gaps remain. A deal on these terms would bring the to a close, while potentially generating backlash from Iran hawks.

President Trump said Thursday that U.S. and Iranian negotiators would likely meet this weekend for a second round of talks to try to seal the deal.

The talks are expected to take place in Islamabad, likely on Sunday, according to a source familiar with the mediation efforts.

Cardano’s daily MACD is showing a squeeze that looks nearly identical to the October and November 2024 structure that preceded ADA’s breakout. Gambardello is waiting for one specific signal: the histogram closing green above the zero line with genuine momentum behind it.

He said fakeouts are possible, pointing to a false signal in September 2024 before the real move arrived. But the setup is there and he is watching closely.
