3-Wave Correction Sets XRP Price On Bearish Course

boss

XRP’s price action in recent days has taken a softer turn, with the token now trading below $2 after failing to hold recent recovery attempts. That move has changed the near-term momentum back in favor of sellers, especially as price action is printing closes beneath short-term dynamic support on the higher timeframes.  A technical analysis shared by CoinsKid on X looks at a broader corrective structure developing on the 5-day chart, one that could place XRP on a more pronounced bearish path if important price levels are not reclaimed. 3-Wave…

Bridges Are Crypto’s Next FTX Waiting To Happen

boss

Opinion by: Kadan Stadelmann, chief technology officer of Komodo Platform Crypto didn’t get wrecked by regulators or some shadowy conspiracy. The industry did this to itself. It handed control of cross-chain liquidity to a handful of intermediaries, who it called “bridges,” wrapped assets in slick tickers, and pretended that was decentralization. Every time one of these house-of-cards systems collapses, billions vanish, and the rest of the industry shrugs, as if these were isolated accidents instead of warning sirens blaring across the ecosystem. Multichain’s collapse was a mess. The Ronin hack…

XRP Is Doing Something It Hasn’t Done Since 2021: Why It Matters

boss

XRP is flashing a rare relative-strength signal against ETH, according to crypto analyst Matt Hughes (“The Great Mattsby”), who points to a 2-week Ichimoku cloud flip that he says hasn’t meaningfully held as support since 2021. With XRP also boxed inside a defined USD range on lower timeframes, Hughes frames the next phase as a conditional “prove it” moment: reclaim one level, and the market has room to work; fail it, and the breakout narrative stays premature. XRP Poised To Outperform ETH? Hughes’ primary claim is anchored to the XRP/ETH…

Why Wrench Attacks Are Becoming Crypto’s Most Violent Crime

boss

In January 2025, French authorities freed Ledger co-founder David Balland after kidnappers demanded a large ransom in cryptocurrency. The case illustrated what crypto crime can look like when it leaves the screen and becomes a physical hostage situation. In fact, crypto-related disputes and theft are increasingly linked to real-world violence, including abduction attempts and ransom schemes designed to force victims to hand over access. That is the logic of a wrench attack. Instead of hacking a wallet, criminals use threats or force to make the holder unlock it or send…

Ethereum’s “Walkaway Test”: Why Quantum Readiness Matters

boss

What is the “walkaway test?” Vitalik Buterin’s “walkaway test” is a way to assess Ethereum’s long-term credibility. The network is intended to remain secure and functional even if its core developers were to stop actively upgrading it. In a recent analogy, Buterin suggested that a protocol should resemble a tool you own, such as a hammer, rather than a service that gradually degrades if the “vendor” loses interest or becomes constrained by external pressures. The end state he points to is an Ethereum that could “ossify if we want to,”…

Binance Australia Restores Direct Bank and PayID Transfers for User

boss

Crypto exchange Binance has reintroduced direct bank transfers in Australia two years after the exchange was abruptly “cut off” from the Australian banking system.  As of last Friday, Binance Australia has relaunched direct fiat bank and PayID deposits and withdrawals to its Australian users.  The rollout began with a small group of users last year, according to a statement on Monday shared with Cointelegraph.   Binance Australia and New Zealand general manager Matt Poblocki said limited fiat access has created friction for local users trying to participate in the digital asset…
