XRP continues to bleed out quietly while market attention stays locked on BTC  and ETH. Despite brief relief bounces, the overall structure remains bearish across the board. Both the USDT and BTC pairs are showing weakness, with no clear signs of a recovery, and the buyers have lost control of key levels.

Technical Analysis

By Shayan

The USDT Pair

XRPUSDT is still trapped in a steep descending channel. The latest drop pushed the price below $1.90, and it’s now approaching the lower boundary of the channel. The structure shows a clear series of lower highs and lower lows, with no bullish divergence on RSI yet. Therefore, momentum remains weak.

The 100-day and 200-day moving averages are both sloping downward and are well above the current price, located around the $2.50 mark. This confirms a sustained downtrend. Buyers need to defend the $1.75–$1.80 support zone. Otherwise, the next level to watch is around $1.50. On the other hand, until the price reclaims $2.20 and breaks above the channel, any bounce is just another lower high.

The BTC Pair

The BTC pair looks even worse. After forming a rising wedge in October and November, XRPBTC broke down hard last week and is now trading at 2,170 sats back below the 100 and 200-day moving averages, both located around the 2,400 sats level.

The RSI is also sliding toward oversold territory, but still no divergence or reversal signals. If the pair continues this drop, the next major demand zone is around 2,000 sats. That is where XRP previously bottomed earlier this year. So, unless the buyers reclaim the 2,400 sats level soon, the asset is likely to underperform BTC into year-end.

Kalshi Launches KalshiEco to Boost Prediction Market With Solana and Base

The post Kalshi Launches KalshiEco to Boost Prediction Market With Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Wednesday, Kalshi introduces the KalshiEco hub with the support from Solana and Base to bolster prediction market growth. The initiative would bolster selected builders, traders, and creators with hands-on support, including grant funding, engineering assistance, referral programs, etc.  Kalshi faces legal scrutiny in Massachusetts as the firm is accused of running unlicensed sports betting under the guise of a prediction market. Kalshi, the federally regulated prediction market operator, is expanding its operations into the broader trading and builder community by introducing KalshiEco, a program that the operator is experimenting with to serve developers, traders, and creators trying on-chain and off-chain prediction market projects. The action is happening at a time when the company is under increased legal scrutiny, such as in a recent case in Massachusetts, which alleged that the company was running what state regulators term as an illegal form of sports betting. KalshiEco Ecosystem Growth The KalshiEco program is designed such that it establishes feedback between the builders and audiences. Developers are also encouraged to release new applications; creators, on the other hand, promote those tools to a wider audience, which in turn is likely to draw more attention and further development of the project. This cycle has been positioned by the company as a growth flywheel that is meant to ensure that momentum is maintained within the ecosystem. Among the selected participants, various incentives are being offered as part of the initiative. Among them, there is direct funding in the form of grants, verified badges on the social media X, individual referral programs, and engineering-specific support of projects that need more technical rigor. Other benefits are competitions in trade, branded products, and continuous community self-identification. These resources are being made by the company more as a working aid than as a marketing gift and this is…
