PANews reported on February 20th that, according to The Block, U.S. District Judge Aleta A. Trauger of the District of Tennessee granted a preliminary injunction to prevent state officials from enforcing local betting laws against the sports-related event contracts of prediction market platform Kalshi. In her ruling, Judge Trauger supported Kalshi's core argument, finding that its sports event contracts met the definition of swaps under the Commodity Exchange Act. The injunction applies to individual state officials, prohibiting them from taking enforcement action against Kalshi under the Tennessee Sports Betting Act during the proceedings. Previously, Tennessee regulators had issued a cease and desist letter to Kalshi, alleging that it was operating without a state license. The judge ruled that Kalshi could not simultaneously comply with state licensing requirements and CFTC rules, and that state-level regulation would interfere with uniform federal regulation of the derivatives market.

Andrew Kim posted on the X platform that, unlike the Nevada ruling, Judge Trauger considered Kalshi's event contracts to be swaps. Due to differing viewpoints, such cases may ultimately reach the Supreme Court. Currently, the Maryland and Nevada district courts have rejected Kalshi's injunction applications, while New Jersey has granted them. According to The Block's data dashboard, Kalshi is the largest prediction market exchange by trading volume, processing over $9.5 billion in January.

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
