XRP Price Could Stage 1,500% Rally To $20 If It Mirrors This 2017 Move

XRP is in a spot that could decide whether the cryptocurrency’s larger cycle still has room to run. Although the price action is perambulating around $1.40, one new technical outlook contends that the current weakness may not be the start of a deeper collapse.  Instead, it may be a familiar pause inside a structure that looks very similar to the one XRP formed before its 2017 rally. If this holds, then XRP might be well on track to hitting a 1,500% rally to $20. A Familiar Breakout Structure For XRP…

Ether Funding Turns Negative, But Bears Remain In Control: Why?

Key takeaways: Ether price struggled as investors pulled $225 million from the spot ETFs, and Ethereum staking rewards underperformed compared to stablecoin yields. Recent Ethereum network upgrades and plans for improved wallet security are positives, but fail to kickstart demand for Ether. Ether (ETH) price has repeatedly failed to sustain levels above $2,100 over the past month, gradually eroding traders’ confidence in the altcoin. Even with a 7% rise between Monday and Tuesday, ETH derivatives metrics suggest a lack of interest in leveraged bullish positions, potentially signaling that bears remain…

Circle Stock Surges As Bernstein Sees Upside From Stablecoins

Circle Internet Financial is among Wall Street’s best-performing stocks so far in 2026, and analysts at Bernstein believe the rally could continue as stablecoin adoption accelerates. In a recent note to clients, Bernstein reiterated its “Outperform” rating on CRCL stock and set a $190 price target, which typically reflects analysts’ expectations for a stock over the next 12 months.

SEC Chair Calls for ‘Coordinated Oversight‘ Between US Financial Agencies

Paul Atkins, chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said that an agreement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would lead to a new level of “coordination and collaboration,” including on enforcement. In a Tuesday speech for the FIA Global Cleared Markets Conference in Florida, Atkins said that the SEC and CFTC were considering an updated memorandum of understanding on coordination between the two federal regulators. The SEC chair did not explicitly mention oversight of digital assets, but said “the regrettable era of duplicative enforcement actions and…

BTC Leads Recovery While Altcoin Indicators Hit Cycle Lows

Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent recovery above $71,000 suggests that the price bottom is officially in, and bullish momentum can be seen across the crypto market. TOTAL2, which tracks the market cap of all crypto assets excluding Bitcoin, has held support at its 200-week moving average, but is an altcoin season in the making? The divergence between Bitcoin’s rally and the muted altcoin price action is beginning to draw attention to altseason indicators, raising the question of whether the broader market may soon follow BTC’s lead.

Crypto Theft Drops in February as Phishing and Wallet Approval Scams Rise

Crypto-related hacks declined sharply in February, but attackers are increasingly targeting users through phishing campaigns and malicious wallet approvals — a shift suggesting they are focusing more on exploiting human behavior than on vulnerabilities in smart contracts.

A single breach involving Step Finance, a portfolio dashboard and analytics platform built on the Solana blockchain, accounted for the bulk of the losses, with attackers draining approximately $30 million. The February figure marks a steep decline from…
