XRP Traders Eye $10 as Ripple’s U.S. Banking Bid Builds Market Optimism

Published

on

XRP showed signs of consolidation over the past 24 hours as the cryptocurrency pulled back slightly from recent highs, shedding 1.07% amid ongoing global economic uncertainty.

Despite the dip, price action remains constructive with higher lows forming above $2.20 — a level that has emerged as key short-term support.

While macro headwinds continue to pressure digital assets broadly, XRP’s bullish structure and rising institutional narrative, including Ripple’s U.S. bank license application and ETF speculation, are keeping long-term sentiment intact.

News Background

  • The cryptocurrency market remains on edge as geopolitical and trade tensions between major economies continue to cloud investor confidence.
  • However, XRP’s long-term outlook is bolstered by Ripple’s ongoing push for regulatory clarity and deeper financial integration.
  • The firm’s recent application for a U.S. national banking license with the OCC, alongside a separate bid for a Federal Reserve master account, could unlock direct access to the Fed’s payment systems — a groundbreaking development for a crypto-native firm.
  • Analysts also point to structural bullish signals, with XRP forming higher highs and higher lows across multiple timeframes.
  • Momentum could further accelerate if Ripple secures ETF approval or regulatory breakthroughs, particularly as XRP is increasingly eyed for CBDC bridge infrastructure by more than 50 countries.
  • A potential move to $10 — or even higher — is being discussed by market observers, contingent on sustained institutional adoption and market alignment.

Technical Analysis

• XRP experienced a notable downtrend over the last 24 hours from 4 July 03:00 to 5 July 02:00, declining from $2.243 to $2.219, representing a 1.07% decrease with a trading range of $0.052 (2.32%).

• The asset encountered strong selling pressure during the 07:00 and 14:00 hours, with volume spikes exceeding 56 million units, establishing key support at $2.209 where buyers consistently emerged.

• A temporary recovery attempt occurred between 21:00-22:00 with price climbing to $2.230 on above-average volume, but momentum failed to sustain, suggesting continued bearish sentiment.

• In the last 60 minutes from 5 July 01:06 to 02:05, XRP experienced a notable decline of 0.35%, dropping from $2.225 to $2.217.

• A significant sell-off occurred at 01:12 where price fell to $2.221 on volume exceeding 418,000 units.

• The asset found temporary support at $2.216 around 01:29 before staging a recovery attempt at 01:59 with the highest volume spike of nearly 249,000 units, pushing price to $2.219.

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Published

By

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.

The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.

Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.

The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.

Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.

«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Published

By

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.

The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.

On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.

The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.

Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.

Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
