Rakuten Expands Ripple XRP Utility for 44M Users: Mass Adoption or Incremental Update?

Japan’s largest e-commerce platform is bringing Ripple XRP into its payments stack on April 15, 2026, listing it on Rakuten Wallet for spot trading and wiring it into Rakuten Pay, the app that 44 million users already use to buy coffee, groceries, and bullet train tickets.

The headline number is large enough to matter.

The analytical question is harder: does XRP utility inside a closed loyalty ecosystem constitute retail adoption, or is this a product feature update that happens to use crypto infrastructure most users will never see?

Key Takeaways:

Integration date: XRP goes live on Rakuten Wallet for spot trading April 15, 2026, with XLM, DOGE, SHIB, and TON listed alongside it.

User scale: Rakuten Pay has 44 million users; Rakuten’s broader Japan ecosystem covers over 100 million member IDs.

Mechanism: Users convert Rakuten Points directly into XRP, then fund Rakuten Cash – usable at over 5 million merchant locations – meaning XRP functions as a bridge asset, not a directly held consumer token in most transactions.

Points pool: More than 3 trillion Rakuten Points, valued at approximately $23 billion USD, are eligible for conversion – creating a large but loyalty-locked source of potential XRP demand.

Regulatory footing: Rakuten Wallet operates under FSA licensing and JVCEA membership, giving the rollout compliance cover in one of the world’s most structured crypto jurisdictions.

What it does not do: This is not an open XRP wallet; it does not give users direct custody of XRP outside the Rakuten ecosystem, and merchants receive fiat – not XRP – at poin

Scaramucci says SpaceX is a proof companies now view Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset

SpaceX is holding onto 8,285 bitcoins valued at $603 million even as the company reported a nearly $5 billion loss for 2025, new data shows.

The aerospace firm keeps its digital currency in Coinbase Prime custody and has not sold any despite the financial hit, according to the data from Arkham Intelligence and The Information report published Friday. The loss is a complete turnaround from the previous year when SpaceX made about $8 billion in profit on sales between $15 billion and $16 billion.

The company’s bitcoin balance stayed steady since the middle of 2024 after hitting a peak value above $1.6 billion during October 2025 when bitcoin reached record highs. SpaceX now ranks as the fourth-biggest known corporate bitcoin owner, trailing only Strategy, Marathon Digital, and Riot Platforms.

SpaceX filed for an initial public offering last month that will require the company to reveal its bitcoin holdings in public documents for the first time. This could force the company to make accounting choices under new FASB rules that started in late 2025.

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci said the mov e shows how companies will treat bitcoin going forward. “Everyone will soon have Bitcoin on their corporate balance sheet,” he said, calling SpaceX the ultimate example of keeping bitcoin as a company reserve asset.

Will Solana drop below $80 as downward pressure builds?



Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple ($XRP) are all trading in the red as the broader crypto market feels the pressure of the US-Iran conflict.

Bitcoin’s price has slipped below $71,000, while Ether and $XRP are trading below $2,200 and $1.35, respectively.

Solana’s $SOL is also underperforming and could face further selling pressure in the near term. The coin is trading at $81 on Monday, after a 4% decline on Sunday, which aligned with the broader cryptocurrency market correction.

At the moment, Solana remains on a downside trajectory after reversing from an overhead trendline, while institutional demand whipsaws and retail interest declines. Momentum indicators also suggest that sellers are in control, with a possible correction to the $77 support level on the cards.

ETF outflows add selling pressure to Solana

Solana has been underperforming since Tuesday after failing to overcome the $88 swing high level. It lost 4% of its value on Sunday and has continued its poor performance into Monday.

Similar to other leading cryptocurrencies, $SOL is facing mixed-to-slightly bearish reactions in the institutional and derivatives markets amid the US-Iran blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Data obtained from CoinGlass revealed that the Solana Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded [MONEY value="11450000" currency="usd" notation="long" replace="false"] in inflows on Friday, limiting the weekly outflow to [MONEY value="5620000" currency="usd" notation="long" replace="false"]. Friday’s inflow suggests that institutions remain interested in Solana but also marks the third consecutive weekly outflow.

Furthermore, the derivatives data indicate that Solana is currently underperforming, similar to other major coins. Solana’s futures Open Interest (OI) reads [MONEY value="4770000000" currency="usd" notation="long" replace="f

Bitcoin has climbed back above $73,000 after a sharp recovery from recent lows that pushed sentiment into extreme fear territory. The rebound has sparked renewed confidence across the market, with many traders suggesting that the bottom may already be in and a new bullish phase could be starting.
However, not all analysts agree with this view.
Rising Optimism Could Be a Warning Sign
Crypto analyst Max, writing on X, argues that the return of bullish sentiment may actually indicate that Bitcoin has not yet reached a true market bottom.
According to his analysis, history shows that when optimism begins to slowly return after deep corrections, markets often still have further downside ahead. In his view, premature confidence has repeatedly appeared during mid-cycle recoveries rather than at final bottoms.
Key Bottom Signals Still Missing
Max highlights that several important technical conditions associated with past Bitcoin cycle lows have not yet appeared, including:
Full capitulation events
Multiple retests and breakdowns of recent lows
A confirmed structural trend reversal on the weekly timeframe
Without these signals, he argues, it is difficult to confirm that a durable bottom has been established.
Historical Cycle Patterns Suggest Longer Correction
Looking at previous Bitcoin cycles, bear market phases have consistently lasted around one year following major cycle peaks:
2013 peak → ~427 days of decline
2018 peak → ~365 days of decline
2021 peak → ~365 days of decline
While each cycle has shown diminishing drawdowns over time, the duration of corrections has remained relatively consistent.
Based on this historical structure, Max suggests that the current cycle—starting from the October 2025 peak—may still be following a similar timeline.

HTX Community Spring Creation ContestTap Now, Claim Airdrop Tomorrow!Daily BTC Guess: Win 18M HTX!Top Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) issuer BlackRock made major purchases last week worth around $6

Top Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) issuer BlackRock made major purchases last week worth around $612 million, out of a total net inflow of $786 million across these funds, data from Arkham Intelligence show. The company’s IBIT Bitcoin trust is looking to maintain its status as the world’s largest Bitcoin ETF despite the recent spot market troubles.Bitcoin is currently trading around $71.5k, showing a 1% price appreciation over the last 24 hours. BlackRock’s recent Bitcoin buying spree has shown sustained institutional interest in the premier cryptocurrency, led by IBIT. Smaller ETFs like Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and ARK 21Shares’ ARKB contributed modest positive flows, while Grayscale’s GBTC and several others posted neutral or negligible activity. No major outflows offset the buying, marking a broad-based rebound from earlier April volatility.Despite the inflows, BlackRock IBIT holders sit on an estimated $12 billion in overall unrealized losses. Based on Arkham’s on-chain analytics, their average cost basis is near $89,000 per Bitcoin—well above current spot prices. The ETF now holds approximately 790,808 BTC, valued at roughly $56.5 billion, more than any other institutional player on the face of the Earth, including Michael Saylor’s Strategy with 780,897 Bitcoin worth $55.7 billion. However, the double-digit losses aren’t deterring investors from getting into Bitcoin, which has shown extraordinary resilience amid the US-led war on Iran, a conflict showing no signs of an off-ramp despite recent negotiations in Islamabad. Here is the IBIT ETF flow ever since its launch:Based on this graph, it is evident that outflows are gradually declining throughout March-April, while inflows are steadily gaining ground.This is quite a contrast from much of the market activity since October 2025, when the market was dominated by strong outflows and weaken
