XRP Price Clears $3, Reenters Global Top 100 Assets

TLDR:

  • XRP price crosses $3, signaling renewed momentum as wallets with large holdings stay in focus.
  • XRP market cap rises to $181.88B, putting the token back among the world’s top 100 assets.
  • Analysts say monthly close above 2017 peak could open door to price discovery and new highs.
  • Only 5.6M wallets hold under 500 XRP, suggesting mass accumulation occurred before retail demand kicked in.

XRP has lately crossed the $3 mark, pulling the token back into the global spotlight. The surge has brought XRP back into the list of the world’s top 100 assets. 

Market watchers say this may set up the next phase of the rally. The conversation now shifts to how far this move can go. Traders are watching $10 as the level where retail may hesitate to jump in. 

According to CoinGecko data at press time, XRP trades at $3.12 with a 24-hour volume of $6,493,225,152, up 3.23% on the day and 10.61% this week.

XRP Price Clears $3, Market Cap Hits $181B

Data from market trackers shows XRP now holds a market cap of about $181.88 billion, ranking 99th globally. Henry, known in the crypto space as @LordOfAlts, pointed out that the token’s comeback from being called dead many times highlights its strong recovery.

Trader @guyontheearth noted the monthly chart has pushed through its highest close since the 2017 cycle. They added that closing this month above that peak could trigger price discovery and a parabolic move higher.

Wallet data also shows how concentrated holdings are. More than 5.6 million wallets still hold fewer than 500 XRP. Analysts say this supports the idea that mass accumulation occurred before this breakout.

The $3 level now acts as the line where conviction is tested. According to @24hrscrypto1, a 10,000 XRP bag already costs $30,000, and at $10 that same stack would require $100,000.

Traders Eye $10 XRP Price and Supply Constraints

Speculation is growing around whether XRP can sustain its momentum toward $10. Market watchers warn that most retail traders may consider the token too expensive by then. The real test will be whether enough buyers are willing to step in at higher levels.

Participants argue that once XRP’s utility rails are fully live, supply could tighten further. That scenario would leave latecomers facing higher entry points.

Current price action suggests whales are not yet exiting positions. Instead, they appear to be holding through the breakout. This could keep pressure on supply, giving bulls more room to push the next leg higher.

For now, XRP’s move back into the global top 100 is the milestone traders are focused on. Whether the token can keep momentum and set fresh highs will likely decide how quickly $10 comes into view.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
