[Key interpretation] The top ten whales in XRP have significantly reduced their positions, and BTC volume shrinks for the first time

HuobiPubblicato 2022-09-26Pubblicato ultima volta 2022-09-27

Introduzione

BTC investors' money holding cost decreased, and the trading volume shrank for the first time.

1. BTC turnover shows signs of shrinking

In the process of narrowing the price fluctuation space of BTC, although the cumulative decline has not significantly expanded, the market is on the eve of the change. As the trading volume retreats from its highest level in two years, the short-term trading volume shrinks, which means that BTC will change its position during the downward movement of the closing price. From the closing point, BTC's closing price on each trading day has been declining in recent years, apparently effectively falling below the lowest closing price of 18970 US dollars on June 18. At the same time, the focus of BTC investors' currency holdings has obviously retreated, and the current volume and price do not support the rapid rise of BTC.

2. The number of ETH sending addresses rebounds

The number of active addresses of ETH has not changed much. During the period of small rebound, it is mainly due to the growth of the number of sending addresses. From the numerical point of view, the number of sending addresses rose to a short-term high of 321000 on September 24. Although the number rose, it was lower than 425000 on September 17. This shows that the number of ETH sent by investors is gradually decreasing. The gradual decline from 799000 on August 26 means that the market is in the period of adjustment.

3. The number of ETH receiving addresses is abnormally low

The number of receiving addresses of ETH is unusually low, which means that there is less adjustment to participate in the short-term transfer or transaction of ETH. Different from the number of sending addresses, the number of receiving addresses of ETH decreased, and fell back to the lowest of 131000 within one year on September 25, which means that OTC investors continue to reduce their market entry transactions, and the market adjustment expectation remains unchanged. Consistent with the trend of BTC, ETH's recent amplitude is small, but the closing price has been retreating, and the adjustment expectation remains unchanged.

4. XRP price short-term adjustment

In the 4-hour K line chart, during the short-term retreat of XRP price, the price rebounded obviously under the Bollinger line. In terms of trading volume, the trading volume remained stable during the short-term continuous decline, and the selling pressure was effectively released. At present, the short-term pullback is dominated by low suction. Judging from the recent price trend, the support of US $0.45 and US $0.4 during the release of selling pressure can be properly paid attention to. On the message side, XRP

The news shows that the lawsuit between the Swiss currency and the SEC will probably be decided in December. At the same time, the market expectation is generally optimistic about XRP's judgment in the near future, which makes XRP's price fluctuate strongly in the near future.

On September 18, Ripple's defense lawyer James K. Filan said on Twitter that Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, had filed a motion for summary judgment in advance.

The next day, Caroline D. Pham, a member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, talked with Brad Garlinghouse. It was previously reported that Ripple and the SEC had asked the court to resolve their ongoing legal disputes.

The encryption community is optimistic about the possibility of compromise because Ripple Labs claims that there is no investment contract. Therefore, the summary judgment motion is considered a prudent strategy that may lead to a settlement with the SEC.

5. XRP's main currency holding and distribution

In terms of coin holding, the number of coins held at Whale's address has continued a clear downward trend recently, while XRP prices rose and fell in the same period, indicating that the spread of coin holding does not support the price rise. The number of XRP's top 10, top 20 and top 50 coins held in Xihong Temple decreased from 73%, 75% and 78% on August 28 to 72%, 74% and 77%, and the currency holding divergence trend was clear. Therefore, in terms of trading, in addition to focusing on the overall market strength and XRP litigation results, attention should be paid to adjusting risks in recent low absorption buying.

When Transfers Become Truly Frictionless: How Sui Uses 'Zero Gas' to Become the Underlying Infrastructure for Stablecoin Payments

Title: Sui Launches Zero-Gas Stablecoin Transfers to Become the Foundation for Stablecoin Payments Sui has introduced a zero-gas fee feature for peer-to-peer stablecoin transfers, eliminating the need for users or businesses to hold separate SUI tokens to pay transaction costs. This innovation, built on a new underlying account architecture called Address Balances, significantly reduces validator processing costs for eligible transactions. Currently, the feature applies to a whitelist of stablecoins for transfers meeting a minimum amount, effectively preventing spam. This development aims to unlock mainstream payment use cases for stablecoins—such as everyday purchases, remittances, and subscriptions—by removing cost and complexity barriers. It is also positioned to benefit high-frequency micro-payments for AI agents and institutional B2B payments, reducing operational friction. Major custody provider Fireblocks has already announced support. The move follows Sui processing over $1 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume since August 2025. Looking ahead, Sui plans to enhance this infrastructure with protocol-level confidential transactions later in 2026, aiming to provide scalable, free, and privacy-preserving payments. Together, these advancements strengthen Sui's goal of becoming the default settlement layer for stablecoin payments.

Ethereum Is Retracing the Path of the Internet and Linux: No One Yields, and the Neutral Party Ultimately Prevails

This article argues that Ethereum is following the historical path of open, neutral systems like the Internet and Linux, which eventually triumphed over proprietary, centrally-controlled alternatives. Major financial institutions like JPMorgan, Stripe, and Circle are building their own proprietary blockchains or networks (e.g., Tempo, Arc), but will never agree to build on a competitor's controlled infrastructure. This creates the perfect opportunity for Ethereum as the only neutral, credibly neutral settlement layer that no single entity controls. The piece draws parallels to the 1990s, when experts like Bill Gates predicted proprietary networks (from Microsoft, Oracle) would win over the open Internet, and when Sun Microsystems' Unix lost to the open-source "bazaar" development model of Linux. This model, described in Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar," thrives on permissionless innovation where countless contributors improve the system, outpacing any centralized competitor. Ethereum embodies this through its decentralized development, broad validator distribution, and credible neutrality—rules that are transparent, equally applied, hard to change, and open to all. This has attracted over a million developers and major institutions like Coinbase, BlackRock, and JPMorgan, who choose Ethereum for its security, ecosystem, and sovereignty (the inability of any single party to change the rules). While proprietary chains offer initial speed and control, they inherit the downsides of both centralization and decentralization without the long-term innovation benefits. The article concludes that, just as open systems historically win, Ethereum is poised to become the foundational, neutral settlement layer for global finance.

Kalshi's Biggest Rival is Not Polymarket

Kalshi's CEO Tarek Mansour has identified the company's primary competitors not as the crypto-based prediction market Polymarket, but as established financial and gaming giants: CME Group, Robinhood, and DraftKings. This reflects a shift in the prediction market landscape, where the 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to bring massive new trading volume. Traditional platforms are increasingly integrating prediction markets as a feature within their existing ecosystems. Robinhood has seen rapid growth with its prediction markets, contributing significantly to its "other transaction revenue." Similarly, Interactive Brokers (IBKR) integrates contracts from Kalshi and CME Group, while DraftKings and FanDuel (via CME) have launched their own prediction products. This allows these firms to leverage their vast user bases and infrastructure at low marginal cost, turning prediction markets from standalone apps into embedded functionalities. In response, prediction market platforms are evolving along two paths. First, they are expanding into new event categories like sports (e.g., the World Cup) and financial data to reduce reliance on election cycles. Second, they are moving towards becoming infrastructure and liquidity providers for distribution platforms. Kalshi's lead over Polymarket in trading volume is partly attributed to this channel strategy, integrating with brokers like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Webull. However, this strategy faces a challenge as distributors like Robinhood begin building their own in-house prediction market capabilities (e.g., Rothera), potentially threatening the value of pure infrastructure providers. The situation parallels historical tech battles, such as Zoom competing with Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, where embedded features in larger platforms reshape market dynamics. The future of standalone prediction market leaders like Kalshi and Polymarket will depend on their ability to navigate this new competitive landscape dominated by integrated financial and gaming titans.
