XRP dips after 470M tokens sold – $2.60 in sight IF…

The post XRP dips after 470M tokens sold – $2.60 in sight IF… appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways XRP lost 4% as whales sold 470 million tokens, with liquidation clusters below $2.60 signaling downside risk. Institutions leaned bearish, while Chainlink’s rising adoption by Swift and JP Morgan eroded XRP’s case. The crypto markets slumped sharply in the last 24 hours, with the total market cap slipping to $3.84 trillion. However, the daily trading volume rose to $186 billion, an 8% increase. Ripple [XRP], the third largest by capitalization, fell 4% and risked deeper losses if broader markets failed to rebound. Let’s unpack the signals behind XRP’s ongoing weakness. XRP faces massive whale exodus Per data from analyst Ali Martinez on X (formerly Twitter), big players were heavily dumping XRP tokens. Over the last ten days, they liquidated more than 470 million XRP as the price hovered around $3. The raid unloading came on the back of a broader market drop seen also in Bitcoin [BTC]. Notably, selling pressure stretched back to late July when XRP traded near $3.50. Source: Ali Charts/X The total exits during this stretch reached almost 1 billion tokens. As whales exited, price action mirrored the sell-off. XRP selling pressure intensifies The price action of XRP/USDT has been in a free fall since the $3.50 high. The altcoin has been making a series of lower highs and lows, a signal for bear strength. The MACD confirmed building seller momentum, fueled by new shorts across derivatives markets. Source: TradingView Coinbase’s addition of perpetual futures for XRP and Solana [SOL] also drew in fresh U.S. short sellers, according to CEO Brian Armstrong. Speaking of derivatives markets, the chart from Trading Different’s heatmap heightened the chances of a further drop. XRP was declining as it liquidated more longs below the price. Per CoinGlass data, high-leverage shorts (50x–100x) clustered between $3.05 and $2.85, accelerating XRP’s fall. Source:…

Judge Orders EminiFX Founder to Pay $228M in Fraud Case

The post Judge Orders EminiFX Founder to Pay $228M in Fraud Case appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The CFTC secured the ruling, which also holds Alexandre liable for $15 million in disgorgement, on top of his nine-year prison sentence and a separate $213 million restitution order in a criminal case. EminiFX raised $262 million in just eight months by promising unrealistic weekly returns through fake robo-trading technology, while Alexandre siphoned millions for personal use.  EminiFX Collapse Leaves Founder Owing Millions A federal judge in New York ordered Eddy Alexandre, the founder of the defunct crypto platform EminiFX, to pay more than $228 million in restitution after ruling that the company operated as a Ponzi scheme that defrauded tens of thousands of investors. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) secured a summary judgment against Alexandre and EminiFX, with US District Judge Valerie Caproni holding them jointly liable for $228.5 million in restitution and Alexandre personally responsible for an additional $15 million in disgorgement.  Case ruling (Source: CourtListener) The decision was made after more than three years of legal battles and comes just over a year after Alexandre pleaded guilty to commodities fraud in a parallel criminal case. For this case, he is serving a nine-year prison sentence and was separately ordered to pay $213 million in restitution. Press release from the US Attorney’s Office EminiFX launched in 2021, and quickly drew in more than 25,000 investors and raised $262 million in just eight months by promising weekly returns of up to 9.99% through a so-called “Robo-Advisor Assisted Account” that allegedly deployed automated crypto and forex trading strategies. In reality, the platform sustained losses of at least $49 million and never implemented the trading technology it claimed to use.  Prosecutors found that Alexandre misappropriated at least $15 million for personal expenses, including luxury cars, credit card bills, and large cash withdrawals. Investor payouts were also made using funds…

Coinbase CEO Hails XRP Perpetual Futures Launch as Great Progress

Coinbase CEO Hails XRP Perpetual Futures Launch as Great Progress

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong applauds the exchange’s move to add XRP and Solana to its perpetual futures offering in the United States.  For context, Coinbase recently added XRP and Solana to the list of supported assets for perpetual-style futures. Notably, the inclusion of XRP and Solana raises the total number of assets available for perpetual futures to four.  The San Francisco-based exchange launched the perpetual futures offering for U.S. customers last month, with initial support for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Less than a month after this launch, Coinbase has now expanded the offering to include XRP and Solana.  Coinbase CEO Calls XRP and Solana Perpetual Futures US Launch Great Progress  According to the announcement, U.S. traders can open and hold XRP perpetual futures, with a leverage of up to 5x and no monthly contract expiration.  The XRP perpetual futures are offered through the Coinbase Derivatives platform, which is licensed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This implies that the perpetual futures offering for XRP and Solana will be regulated under CFTC rules.  Reacting, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong applauded the initiative, describing the latest expansion in the United States as “great progress.”  https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1957894005024338417 Previous Perpetual Futures Support  Notably, the Coinbase perpetual futures offering has been available in several eligible countries other than the United States.  In October 2023, the exchange granted customers in eligible international jurisdictions access to its perpetual futures offering, which initially supported four assets such as XRP, Litecoin, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.  Despite launching perpetual futures in other countries, Coinbase did not introduce a similar offering in the U.S. due to regulatory concerns. As the United States makes significant progress in regulating the crypto market, Coinbase launched perpetual futures for U.S. customers last month, starting with Bitcoin and Ethereum. The exchange has now expanded the offering to include XRP and Solana.  The perpetual futures offering is not the first time Coinbase has extended derivative support for XRP. Earlier this year, the leading exchange launched self-certified XRP futures in the United States.
