Turns out, the big players – the “whales,” they call them, which is adorable – decided to unload 470 million XRP tokens. 470 million. I have trouble unloading old magazines. These whales just…dump. They’ve slimmed down their holdings to a comparatively meager 7.63 billion coins. Honestly, the sheer scale of their wealth is slightly upsetting.
In scene two, our veiled informants (who reveal not their names, for why risk the emperor’s temper?) declare that the State Council is soon to gather, flap their fans, and debate a roadmap, perhaps in elegant calligraphy, to dash after the Americans in the realm of stablecoins. Lo, the race is on! 🏁
Meanwhile, XRP is teasing us all with a rebound, strolling away from the $3.00 mark, currently at the modest $3.01-just a whisper above the critical support of $2.96. With the 9-day and 21-day moving averages nearly crossing, it promises the thrilling spectacle of a golden cross, which might just turn this digital darling into a bullish superstar-if not, we shall have to settle for the suspense of it all. The technical indicators hint at this promising event, with XRP climbing softly from oversold territory, and if it reaches between $3.30 and $3.50, we may be witnesses to a breakout fit for the history books. Ah, the drama of technical analysis! 📈
According to Google Trends (and yes, they’re still relevant), searches for “privacy coins” hit an all-time high this week with a score of 98 out of 100. That’s higher than my motivation to go to the gym on January 2nd. Meanwhile, “alt season” searches are plummeting faster than my self-esteem during tax season. 📉
“So it’s just the forces are such that these things will happen whether Wall Street is fully embracing it or not,” Scaramucci proclaimed, probably while dramatically sweeping his hand through the air like some kind of financial wizard-meets-game-show-host. Translation: even if Wall Street throws a tantrum fit for a toddler denied candy, crypto’s comin’ in hot anyway. Resistance is futile, my friends. Futile, I tell ya! 😅

But wait, there’s a twist! Unlike Bitcoin’s hard-capped supply of 21 million (so exclusive, darling), ETH is like a party with an open bar-no fixed maximum. Its supply is as unpredictable as Mel Brooks at a press conference. EIP-1559 tried to burn some calories, but Ethereum still gained 1 million ETH in the last year. Talk about mixed signals! 🤷♂️🔥
Market “watchers” (read: people who stare at screens way too hard) claim XRP’s weekly chart is diverging like a bad marriage. Price hits highs, but RSI’s slinking lower like it’s late for a date with a therapist. 🕵️♂️💔
The price of XRP has barely budged since yesterday. Yes, you heard that right. It’s like watching paint dry, except the paint is digital and costs $3.1263 per dab at press time. 😴
According to Reuters (because who else do we trust these days?), China’s State Council is prepping to review a roadmap later this month. A roadmap that includes-wait for it-a sovereign stablecoin. How very… predictable. The move seems to be their way of saying, “Hey, USDT and USDC, step aside. We’ve got blockchain tech too, and we’re not afraid to use it!” 💪
