#xrp : #price action is filling in the earlier wick from October whilst approaching its Descending Triangle #Breakdown target. #RSI is in compression, forming a bullish divergence, with a strong #liquidity pocket below. Imho, pain won't last much longer, relief is coming.
Lawmakers ran out of time to hold markup hearings this year so progress on clear federal crypto rules is now delayed into early 2026.
Why this matters: - A market structure bill would finally clarify how digital assets are regulated in the U.S. (who oversees what). - It would give institutional players certainty and remove legal grey areas that slow adoption. - Without it, enforcement and uncertainty continue.
This delay keeps the industry waiting but talks are still ongoing.
First of all, $BTC fully repeats the 2022 cycle when the bear market started. We saw rejection, bull trap and finally, a huge dump. Now, the chart repeats.
Second, whales are selling millions of crypto over the past few weeks. Wintermute, BlackRock and others are #dumping millions worth of $BTC, $ETH etc. 🐳
And for conclusion, Bank of Japan is set to hike rates +25 bps on Dec 19. Every BoJ rate hike $BTC dumps -20-30% 📉
$SHIB is not a single narrative, a single product, or a single group of people. It is a global community that has continued to build through multiple market cycles.
SHIB being listed on Japan’s green list matters. That process is not casual or speculative. It requires regulatory review, compliance, and legitimacy in one of the strictest markets in the world. That alone contradicts the idea that SHIB has no real standing or substance.
Utility also does not appear overnight or move markets in straight lines. Infrastructure, developer tooling, and products are long-term foundations, not hype levers. Price lagging development is normal in crypto and history shows that fundamentals often get recognized later, not first.
Community momentum has not vanished. It has matured. Millions of holders did not disappear. Builders did not stop building. What changed is that SHIB no longer relies on noise or viral speculation to exist.
Most importantly, SHIB does not revolve around one face, one team, or one voice. That was the entire point from the beginning. Decentralization means the network and the community outlive any single contributor.
You don’t have to like SHIB. But dismissing it as irrelevant ignores its scale, its global reach, its regulatory milestones, and the fact that it continues to evolve long after most “alternatives” fade out.
SHIB is bigger than opinions. And bigger than any single cycle.
New on-chain research by HappyCatKripto sheds light on one of #terraClassicLunc biggest mysteries, the crash on May 2022.
~2.8 Trillion $LUNC located, and it's all owned by users, not Binance.
Happy Catty Crypto (now rebranded to Jake Collis Finance) used an ultra rare Terra Classic archive node provided by ColeStrathclyde, HCC traced every hypermint transactions at protocol level during the 11th - 14th May 2022 crash. This is raw chain data, not theory.
🔍 Who:
• A small group of 14 hyperminting wallets active during the 11th - 14th May 2022 crash.
📍 Where:
• Funds were sent from on-chain directly to BINANCE deposit wallet ➡️ hot wallet, not owned by Binance itself.
💰 How much:
• 1.125 TRILLION $LUNC from the top 14 hyperminters alone. • Estimated ~1.7 TRILLION $LUNC more from additional linked wallets. • Explains Binance's historic $LUNC balances.
🧠 Key takeaway:
• Binance does not secretly own or control these assets. • These funds are users, and most likely remain idle due to KYC exposure risk if moved.
➡️ What's next:
• More datasets under review • Active engagement with the SEC • Tracking remaining TFL-linked rogue funds • Community regaining control of the chain narrative
This research fundamentally changes the discussion around LUNC, Binance, and the crash.
