As Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) forecasts massive tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), reaching $3 trillion to $10 trillion by 2030, Finbold identified two established cryptocurrencies that are powering the blockchains enabling mainstream bridging between Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and are well positioned to hit a market capitalization of $100 billion by 2027. As of October 13, 2026, the two cryptocurrencies that are likely to reach $100 billion by the end of next year are XRP, which is the native token for XRP Ledger (XRPL), and Solana (SOL).

ZROZ, a PIMCO ETF allocated to US Treasury bond repayments guaranteed by the US government, has lost 16% of its share price this year. It also lost 21% over the past 12 months, 63% over the past five years, and is down 73% from its March 2020 peak. The terrible results for investors are particularly curious given the seniority of its claims. Specifically, its NYSE-listed ZROZ owns claims on the principal of US Treasury bonds, the largest and most important piece of a US government bond.  To be clear, the US government hasn’t defaulted on any sovereign bond issuance since 1933, aside from a $122 million technicality delay in 1979. The largest government in the world guarantees principal repayment of US Treasuries, and ZROZ tracks an index of the present value of those repayments. Still, all buyers of the ETF at any time since its inception in 2009 have lost money, excluding dividends. Even after adjusting for the small quantity of dividends that the ETF ...

As XRP battled to rally above a major resistance level around $1.66 for around 32 days through September 23, 2026, Ali Martinez, a popular cryptocurrency analyst, has mapped key triggers for a rally towards a target of $2. This crypto expert expects XRP price to hit $2 if it consistently closes above a potential inverse head-and-shoulders (H&S) pattern.  XRP daily chart. Source: TradingView “A decisive break above the neckline could confirm the pattern and trigger another 30% rally toward $2,” Martinez noted. This analyst identified the neckline of a possible inverse H&S pattern at $1.5663. However, he argued that a rally towards a target of $2 trickles down to a resistance level near $1.6, which must be broken. Martinez also based his bullish thesis for XRP on notable demand from large whale holders, typically XRP Ledger (XRPL) addresses holding between 10 million and 100 million tokens. Specifically, he highlighted that these whale investors accumul...

An amended complaint filed by Mintvest Capital against Energy & Compute, LLC (formerly Coinmint) alleges that the firm’s chief exec, Ashton Soniat, misappropriated BTC from the firm’s mining operations. It also broadly alleges securities fraud and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) offences. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that “on each occasion when new machines were added, Mr. Soniat told investors that production started on a later date than it actually did.” “During the gap periods — between the actual start up and the announced startup — Mr. Soniat redirected all BTC Coinmint produced to his personal BTC wallet.” The lawsuit alleges that, in total, “Mr. Soniat stole… 448.7193 BTC.” Starcloud wants to mine bitcoin in space — what could go wrong?

Caterpillar CEO Joseph Creed disclosed his sale of $26.2 million worth of stock on Tuesday, after exercising an options package four and a half years early .  He sold 32,401 shares on the New York Stock Exchange on August 28, emptying his oldest outstanding tranche of options that had a March 2031 expiration date. The options had a $219.76 strike price — allowing Creed to exercise 72% below the current stock price that regular investors have to pay today. Creed’s proceeds of $26.2 million had a weighted average of $808.98 per share, slightly below the filing’s $812.98 valuation for shares surrendered to cover his exercise price or tax liability. He disposed of 12,002 shares under a filing code for paying an exercise price or tax liability. Their value almost exactly matched the grant’s $9.76 million exercise cost. Even after the incredible payday, Creed’s August 28 sale only reduced his 2021-vintage options grant to zero. In addition, Caterpillar’s proxy fil...

Bitcoin (BTC) may be approaching a major breakout after a key volatility indicator reached its lowest level in nearly three years, a setup that previously preceded one of the cryptocurrency’s strongest rallies on record. The latest Bitcoin technical Analysis shows that the Bollinger Band Width (BBWidth) indicator has compressed to its narrowest level since October 2023. The setup is notable because the last time BBWidth reached similarly low levels, Bitcoin entered a powerful expansion phase, rallying more than 330% between October 2023 and October 2025. Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: Barchart Over recent months, the Bollinger Bands have tightened significantly around Bitcoin’s price, pushing BBWidth, which measures the distance between the upper and lower bands, to its lowest level since late 2023.  Historically, such periods of compressed volatility often precede major price moves, although they do not indicate direction.

The cryptocurrency market has struggled throughout October, a historically bullish month. The lackluster performance in October 2025 could be due to macroeconomic conditions, trade disputes, and slow economic growth. Ripple’s XRP token has also followed the market downtrend. However, things could change for XRP in the coming weeks. Let’s discuss why XRP could hit a new all-time high this November 2025. Reasons Why XRP Could Hit An All-Time High In November 2025 Source: Shutterstock The crypto market could pick up steam over the coming weeks, given that the Federal Reserve reduced interest rates by an additional 25 basis points earlier this week. Interest rate cuts often lead to cryptocurrencies seeing increased inflows as borrowing becomes easier. However, the market continues to glow red. XRP is struggling to regain the $3 price level. Investors may be taking longer than usual to build trust. We could experience a delayed rally from the rate cuts. Moreover, we may see sever...

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said X402, the online payments protocol that enables AI agents to transact over the internet, is ”growing like crazy” as transactions surged more than 10,000% in a month. When Coinbase launched x402 in May, it said that the protocol “fixes the internet’s first mistake” by resurrecting the Internet Communication Protocol’s Hypertext Transfer Protocol 402 to create a seamless payment system native to the internet.  The protocol makes it possible for AI agents and humans to pay directly in stablecoins while using a website or app. Transaction activity on the protocol skyrocketed in October. Data from Dune Analytics shows that between Oct. 14 and Oct. 20, there were 500,000 transactions on the protocol, which is a 10,780% increase compared to levels seen four weeks earlier.  X402 Sets Two New Records Transaction activity continued to soar this week.

SHA-256 became a trending topic last night on X after another round of quantum fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) spread across Bitcoin social media. According to a viral post, financial analysts at Standard Chartered published a recommendation to sell bitcoin (BTC) and buy gold on “credible rumors a quantum computer has cracked SHA-256.” Neither of those things actually occurred. No quantum computer cracked SHA-256 this week, and Standard Chartered didn’t recommend selling BTC for gold. The author admitted the source of the supposed news: “ Oh I made it up .” Laughing at gullible users on X, they commented on the post’s popularity, saying, “BTC community is really this stupid.” Emulating the side-by-side logo style of Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo, the original post gained over 30,000 impressions, quote-tweets in their thousands, and hundreds of likes.

Paxos co-founder Charles Cascarilla has framed the accidental minting of $300 trillion in PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin as evidence of blockchain transparency. “It underscores the value of the blockchain,” Cascarilla said during a Federal Reserve crypto roundtable. “It actually shows the transparency that you can immediately have into what’s going on. In this case, an operational error that was entirely internal to our systems is now immediately visible to everybody.”  He added that the the entire financial system could have the same level of transparency over time, something he called ”a really positive thing” that ”can create confidence in the financial system in a way that the opacity that exists today has really limited.” Cascarilla’s remarks come as regulators consider whether or not to grant Paxos a Fed Master Account.  PYUSD Market Cap Briefly Surpasses Global GDP  The Paxos blunder saw PYUSD’...
