The post Erdogan Is Pushing Turkey Into The Same Minefield As Iran appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON, DC – SEPTEMBER 25: U.S. President Donald Trump (R) shakes hands with President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a meeting in the Oval Office at the White House on September 25, 2025 in Washington, DC. Trump has signaled that the U.S. might lift a ban on F-35 sales to Turkey during Erdogan’s first visit to the White House since 2019. (Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) Getty Images The previous column covered the Trump White House summit for Central Asian leaders and how that region’s rise will rejig global power balance against Russia and China (and Iran). The column points out how the chief beneficiary of this rise must be Erdogan because the redirected trade of all the Stans will pass through Turkey. But Erdogan’s involvement further south in the Middle East, in Syria and Gaza, could easily lead to his undoing. His loudly populist championing of Hamas and, in Syria, his support for Islamist forces, some of which are locking horns with Israeli interests, creates risky flashpoints. He does so as part of his Neo-Ottoman (Caliphate redux) posturing which extends as far as encouraging Pakistan in the other direction. This, in turn, alienates India. Generally speaking, though, Erdogan’s public aspiration as leader of Islam threatens to displace the Saudis and infuriates them. And will ultimately anger Washington too by inciting a populist challenge to the Abraham Accords. To some degree, this positions Türkiye in the regional role previously played by Iran, with all the same enemies – and no allies. Long term, the country may well end up facing active dangers as did Iran. But with the leading media organs largely under Erdogan’s influence, the Turkish populace remains ignorant of the dangers to them of his foreign policies. Instead, they are regaled by images of his participation in…

The post XRP Price Prediction: Why the Growing Tundra Ecosystem Could Skyrocket Your Returns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP closes out 2025 in a position that looks increasingly different from many top-tier cryptocurrencies. The broader market has struggled under tightening liquidity and heavy rotation out of high-beta assets. Conversely, XRP has held its structure more effectively, maintaining positive year-to-date performance despite recent volatility. Its historical tendency to perform well during late-Q4 cycles adds context for analysts reassessing what the upcoming months may hold. Those updated projections coincide with a major development for the XRPL ecosystem. A large institution has officially begun acquiring the XRP Tundra project. That’s accelerating its development timeline and confirming a December 15 launch for the full platform.  As part of the acquisition, the institution approved one final 48-hour window at $0.01. It marked the last opportunity for retail buyers to enter before pricing moves higher. Every purchase during this window includes both ecosystem tokens — TUNDRA-S on Solana and TUNDRA-X on the XRP Ledger. Thus, it is preserving the dual-token entry model that shaped earlier phases of the project. As analysts revise 2025 price forecasts toward early 2026, the expanding role of the Tundra ecosystem is becoming a core consideration inside long-range XRP valuation models. XRP’s Position Heading Into 2026’s Market Cycle Market data entering November 2025 shows a split between assets tied to strong institutional infrastructure and those driven primarily by retail speculation. XRP sits in the former category. The aftermath of regulatory clarity earlier this year unlocked direct access for major issuers. That led to the launch of several XRP ETFs. Canary Capital’s fund drew substantial early inflows, and new offerings from additional institutional managers could expand distribution. Corporate treasury participation is also accelerating. Several publicly traded firms have added XRP to operational reserves or cross-border payment programs. That reduced the amount of liquid supply available on exchanges. Ripple’s coordinated treasury initiative…

Web3 infrastructure project VerifiedX has enlisted major exchange Crypto.com to provide institutional-grade custody and liquidity for $1.5 billion in digital assets. The deal highlights a fundamental trend in the digital-asset space. Although VerifiedX promotes decentralization and self-custody for retail users through products like its Switchblade Wallet, it is now turning to a large, regulated provider to meet institutional needs. Institutions require strict security, compliance and insurance standards, which VerifiedX cannot satisfy on its own infrastructure.Digital assets meet tradfi in London at the FMLS25This shift aligns with Crypto.com’s broader institutional push, including its recent approval for a full set of CFTC derivatives licenses to support U.S. expansion.For VerifiedX, the move is a strategic effort to attract venture capital firms, family offices and other professional investors that operate under frameworks such as the SEC’s rules in the U.S. and the EU’s MiCA regime. Inside the Institutional-Grade Deal Under the new agreement, institutional clients will be able to store assets through Crypto.com’s certified custody platform. The service carries SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II attestation, complies with ISO/IEC 27001 and is backed by $120 million in insurance coverage. It also offers multi-level governance controls and customizable permission workflows designed for regulated entities that require auditable processes. VerifiedX will additionally integrate Crypto.com’s Over-the-Counter trading infrastructure. This will give institutional participants access to deeper liquidity and facilitate wholesale transfers while minimizing slippage on large transactions.“Crypto.com Custody is specifically designed with expectations of institutional-grade clients,” said Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com. Strengthening a Growing Partnership The custody mandate marks a substantial expansion of the relationship between the two companies. Their collaboration began in September, when VerifiedX added Crypto.com Pay to its wallet infrastructure to streamline retail onboarding and payments.Crypto.com has also been advancing its global regulatory footprint, recently receiving in-principle approval to settle Dubai government payments in stablecoins — further strengthening its positioning as a cross-border Web3 infrastructure provider.Shifting from a retail-focused payment integration to handling a $1.5 billion institutional custody arrangement reflects a deeper level of trust between the firms and a clear evolution in VerifiedX’s strategy.
