Ripple (XRP) Prints an Extremely Bullish Signal: Is This the Perfect Buying Opportunity?

“By the time the crowd feels safe again, you may already be looking at XRP from behind,” one popular analyst stated.  Ripples cross-border token was at the forefront of gains toward the end of August when its price reached $1.70. Since then, though, bears have regained control, and it has experienced a substantial pullback.  The CLARITY Act‘s failure only worsened XRP’s position, driving it down to roughly $1.26. It has regained some ground and now trades around $1.30, but it is still down about 6% on a weekly basis. One popular analyst remains unfazed by the recent weakness, suggesting it may present an attractive buying opportunity. Heres why.  First Time in History  X user Cryptollica disclosed that XRPs two-week RSI ratio has dropped to around 33.5, the lowest point in its history and lower than in 2018, during the 2020 COVID pandemic, and in the 2022 bear market.  “That is the part the market is misreading. Sentiment has been destroyed, momentum has been washed out to a historical extreme, and the asset is being treated as if the story is already over. But this is exactly where asymmetry becomes interesting. Market has already delivered the pain while the long term structire is still active,” the

Hyperliquids [HYPE] trading volume continues to drive growth in its HYPE burn mechanism, linking network usage directly to supply reduction. Weekly protocol revenue reached $13.48 million, while gross fees stood at $15.11 million.  Part of that revenue was used to remove 156.58K HYPE worth around $12.42 million.

XRPL’s new lending tool could lock up your XRP from minutes to decades

XRP Ledgers (XRPL) newest server release defines a future lending market in which depositors could commit assets to a vault for a fixed term and wait until a set redemption date to withdraw. For XRP holders, the design introduces a possible liquidity lock that can last from minutes to years.  Related Asset XRP #5 XRP · $1.32 24-hour change: up 1.16% Loading price history… 24H Up 1.16% 7D Down 1.52% 30D Up 32.00%  The XRP Ledger Foundation released xrpld 3.4.0 on Sept. 16 with LendingProtocolV1_1 code for closed-ended vaults and cash-basis accounting.  The first feature fixes the period during which deposited capital can fund loans, and the second recognizes interest when a borrower pays it.  Availability still depends on the amendment process and the rest of XRPLs lending stack. A live dashboard snapshot fetched Sept. 17 did not surface LendingProtocolV1_1 in the responding nodes feature feed or show a V1.1 activation countdown.  The same snapshot placed the base LendingProtocol amendment at 13 of 35 trusted-validator votes and SingleAssetVault at 16 of 35, below the displayed threshold of 28.  Single-asset vaults can use XRP, an issued trust-line token, or a Multi-Purpose Token. Any claim that the system will create lasting XRP demand therefore depends on later choices

WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk List #28: BTCC — The “Living Fossil” of Crypto with 15 Years of Zero Security Incidents. So Why Are Users Still Saying, “I Can’t Withdraw My Money”?

Introduction: One of the Oldest—and Most Controversial—Exchanges  Over the first 27 editions, we have investigated a wide range of exchanges, from HashKey to WhiteBIT. For Edition #28, we are taking a closer look at a genuine “living fossil” of the crypto industry—BTCC.  First, one important clarification: there are “two BTCCs” in the crypto space.  One is BTCC.com, founded in 2011 and formerly known as “Bitcoin China,” one of the earliest cryptocurrency exchanges in China.  The other is BTCC Global (Bitop Global), which has no direct connection with the former. On Tianyan complaints, it has already been flagged for issues including “withdrawal failure” and being a “scam platform.”  Today, we are investigating the former—BTCC.com (btcc.com).  Its résumé is certainly “old-school” by crypto standards:“Founded in 2011”“One of the worlds longest-operating cryptocurrency exchanges”“15 years with zero security incidents”“More than 12 million users worldwide”Named the “Safest Digital Asset Exchange” by Pan FinanceOfficial regional sponsor of the Argentine Football AssociationGlobal brand ambassador for NBA All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr.BTC trading volume reached $125.8 billion in Q2 2026Continuous Proof of Reserves reports, with a reserve ratio of 129% in JulyA $25.5 million risk reserve fund  Sounds like the perfect profile of a long-established, stable major exchange, right?
