Inside Ripple’s Buying And Selling Cycle — And Its Impact On XRP

Ripple's recent $750 million share buyback has sparked division within the XRP community. Critics, led by analyst @WhaleFUD, argue that Ripple sells XRP to fund these buybacks, prioritizing private equity holders and venture capitalists over retail XRP investors. They contend this cycle provides no direct benefit to XRP holders and that Ripple has little incentive to support the token's long-term value, especially with products like its new stablecoin competing with the XRP Ledger. Conversely, supporters like researcher BankXRP view the buyback as a sign of Ripple's strength and confidence. The $50 billion valuation and recent strategic acquisitions are cited as evidence of the company's robust liquidity and long-term commitment to the XRP ecosystem, despite ongoing market uncertainty and price pressure.

Ten Thousand Words Decoding STRC: Strategy's New Magic Trick for Making Money and Buying Coins

"STRC: Strategy's New Money-Making Magic" provides an in-depth analysis of STRC, a preferred share instrument issued by Michael Saylor's company, Strategy. STRC is a yield-bearing tool backed by Strategy's Bitcoin treasury, designed to trade near its $100 face value with a dynamically adjustable dividend rate (currently 11.5% APY paid monthly). The article explains how strong demand for STRC, when trading at par, triggers ATM (at-the-market) issuances. The proceeds are used to buy Bitcoin, and simultaneous ATM issuances of common stock (MSTR) are used to maintain the company's leverage ratio at ~33%. This structure converts yield-seeking demand into systematic Bitcoin buying pressure. Key points include: STRC splits Bitcoin exposure into low-volatility yield for holders (STRC) and remaining upside/volatility for MSTR shareholders; the model can scale significantly without increasing credit risk; and the primary long-term risk is a prolonged Bitcoin bear market, not a sudden crash like Luna/UST. The article contrasts STRC with failed algorithmic stablecoins, highlighting its lack of reflexive death spiral mechanics and substantial dollar reserves (~28 months of dividend coverage). The author argues that if one is bullish on Bitcoin, being bearish on Strategy's structure is logically difficult.

Recalling 10 Little-Known Key Contributions of the Early TON Core Team

Despite TON Foundation being widely recognized, the early contributions of the NEWTON team—TON's core developers—are less known. As an early member, Dr. Awesome Doge recounts their pivotal role in maintaining TON testnet2 and enhancing developer tools before Telegram’s official endorsement in 2021, marking a historic community-led takeover. Key contributions include: 1. **mytonctrl**: An automated node management tool for validator setup, wallet creation, and DNS registration. 2. **tonmon**: A monitoring tool for blockchain health, tracking metrics like block time and validator status. 3. **tonmine**: A system to monitor Giver contracts, which distributed ~200,000 $TON daily. 4. **Cross-chain bridge**: Enabled transfers between TON, Ethereum, and BSC before jetton standards existed. 5. **cryptobot**: An early Telegram wallet supporting multiple cryptocurrencies. 6. **toncenter**: A public API simplifying blockchain data access for developers. 7. **explorer.toncoin.org**: TON’s first technical blockchain explorer. 8. **ton.sh**: A user-friendly blockchain explorer focusing on wallet balances and transaction memos. 9. **TonWeb**: A JavaScript SDK to simplify interactions with TON’s complex smart contract languages. 10. **ton wallet**: An early functional wallet that remains operational. In June 2021, NEWTON’s public letter to Telegram led to official recognition and GitHub access, catalyzing TON’s growth. These foundational efforts underscore the team’s belief in TON’s potential, now realized through its expanding ecosystem and developer community.

Ten Thousand Words Decoding STRC: Strategy's New Magic Trick to Make Money and Buy Coins

This article provides an in-depth analysis of STRC, a preferred share issued by MicroStrategy (MSTR) as part of its Bitcoin treasury strategy. STRC is a yield-bearing instrument designed to trade near its $100 face value, currently offering an 11.5% annual dividend paid monthly. The dividend rate is dynamically adjusted to maintain this price target. The core mechanism involves using demand for STRC to generate structural buying pressure for Bitcoin. When STRC trades at $100, MicroStrategy issues new shares via an At-The-Market (ATM) offering and uses the proceeds to buy BTC. To maintain a stable leverage ratio (currently ~33%), the company simultaneously issues new MSTR common shares (when its most diluted NAV is above 1x) to buy additional BTC. Roughly, every $1 of new STRC issuance can lead to ~$3 of BTC purchases. The structure splits Bitcoin exposure into two risk tranches: STRC holders receive stable, lower-volatility yield, while MSTR shareholders capture the remaining upside and volatility. The primary goal is to increase the bitcoin-per-share (BPS) ratio over time, benefiting MSTR shareholders. Key risks include STRC's price potentially dropping 5-10% during market stress (though arbitrage typically pulls it back toward par), and a prolonged Bitcoin bear market which could pressure the structure over many years by depleting the company's dollar reserves used for dividend payments. The article contrasts STRC with failed algorithmic stablecoin UST, highlighting fundamental differences in structure, sustainability, and the lack of a reflexive "death spiral" mechanism. The author concludes that while risks exist, the structure is resilient and unlikely to fail abruptly unless Bitcoin itself enters a sustained downturn.

$100K Bitcoin? Prediction Market Odds Climb To 40%

Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant reversal with $53 million in daily inflows, pushing monthly totals past $1.16 billion after months of outflows. Bitcoin’s price rose to around $70,850, with technical indicators turning bullish. Prediction markets now assign a 40-50% chance of Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by 2027. Geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns have fueled interest in Bitcoin as a potential safe-haven asset, despite outflows from gold and stock ETFs. Technically, Bitcoin is testing key support levels, with $70,000 being crucial for maintaining bullish momentum toward higher psychological targets.

US Billionaire Backs Stablecoins To Take Over Payment Systems – Details

American billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller predicts stablecoins will become central to the U.S. payment system within the next 10-15 years, citing their efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness. While he views blockchain and stablecoins as highly productive innovations, he remains skeptical of regular cryptocurrencies, calling them an unnecessary "solution looking for a problem." His comments follow the recent U.S. regulatory approval for stablecoins, prompting developments from firms like Tether and major financial institutions. Despite his crypto criticism, he acknowledged the potential for a cryptocurrency to challenge the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency in the next 50 years. Stablecoins currently represent 13% of the $2.42 trillion crypto market.

DOJ, Europol Freeze $3.5M In Crypto After Dismantling Global Proxy Fraud Network

US and European authorities dismantled SocksEscort, a global proxy service that used malware (AVrecon) to hijack over 369,000 devices in 163 countries, allowing criminals to hide their locations. The service, operating for years, generated at least $5.7 million from users who paid in cryptocurrency for anonymity. A coordinated law enforcement effort across multiple countries resulted in the seizure of 34 domains, takedown of servers, and freezing of $3.5 million in crypto. The network was linked to various crimes, including a $1 million cryptocurrency theft from a New York resident, bank fraud, and account takeovers.

Ethereum And Solana Are Topping Developer Activity Again, But Why Are Their Prices Struggling?

Despite leading in crypto developer activity, Ethereum and Solana are experiencing significant price struggles. Data from Artemis shows Ethereum’s ecosystem, particularly its EVM, leads with 31,620 weekly commits, followed by Solana’s SVM with 7,056. However, both networks have seen sharp declines: Ethereum’s weekly commits dropped 54% and developer activity fell 34% over three months, while Solana saw declines of 43% and 40%, respectively. The broader crypto ecosystem has also suffered, with weekly commits plummeting from 870,900 in March last year to 217,500 in February. Analysts attribute the price weakness to an ongoing bear market. CryptoQuant’s Julio Moreno suggests Ethereum could fall to $1,500 by late 2024 if the downturn continues, citing an “adoption paradox” where network activity rises while prices fall. Market experts predict further declines, with Bitcoin potentially bottoming between September and October.

XRP’s DeFi Moment? On-Chain Numbers From Flare Tell A Different Story

The on-chain data from the Flare Network suggests growing DeFi activity within the XRP ecosystem. Over 132 million FXRP are in supply, with nearly 80% locked in DeFi protocols on Flare. The ecosystem has secured over $149 million in value and processed more than 2.8 million transactions, with user growth accelerating. This indicates that XRP holders are increasingly using their assets for lending, liquidity provision, swaps, and yield generation—moving beyond simple transfers. Additionally, Ripple’s recent $50 million share buyback signals strong institutional confidence, which could lead to further development and integration of XRP-based infrastructure in global payment systems.

Tax Policy, Not Technology, Is Blocking Bitcoin Payments, Advocates Say

Advocates argue that U.S. tax policy, not technological limitations, is the primary barrier to Bitcoin's use for everyday payments. Under current law, every Bitcoin transaction—no matter how small—is a taxable event requiring capital gains reporting. The Bitcoin Policy Institute is urging Congress to pass a de minimis exemption for small transactions (under a set amount) by August 2026, before midterm elections complicate legislative efforts. Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced a bill for a $300 per-transaction exemption, but it has stalled. With competing bills and a shrinking legislative timeline, the future of such an exemption is uncertain, despite bipartisan support.
