Queda acentuada de XDC Network (XDC)

Bitcoin fell below $80,000 amid a broader crypto market downturn. The U.S. government entered a partial shutdown, and Federal Reserve chair nominee Kevin Warsh was linked to the Epstein scandal. Binance released a report attributing the October 11 flash crash to macro shocks and market-wide liquidations, denying platform-specific failures. However, OKX CEO Star blamed Binance’s USDe yield promotion for encouraging risky leverage. Wintermute and Dragonfly partners countered, citing multiple factors including Trump’s tariff threats and liquidity issues. Michael Saylor hinted at further Bitcoin acquisitions by MicroStrategy. Several tokens, including HYPE, BERA, and XDC, are set for major unlocks totaling over $300 million this week.

XDC Network's token (XDC) declined slightly by 0.76% in 24 hours but remains up 6.13% weekly, outperforming Bitcoin. Despite a significant 84% drop in daily active users since 2021 and concerns about low on-chain utility, recent data suggests a potential easing in selling pressure. The network completed a successful hardfork to strengthen its real-world asset (RWA) tokenization infrastructure. A partnership with Liqi Digital Assets has led to $100 million in tokenized RWAs, with a target of $500 million by 2026. Another collaboration aims to tokenize $1 billion in debt and receivables. While the RWA narrative counters "ghost chain" fears, the price may still test the $0.022 support level before potentially consolidating. A price bottom could be weeks or months away.

Stablecoins, with a total market capitalization exceeding $307 billion, are primarily used for behind-the-scenes financial transactions. However, a new partnership between XDC Network and OrbitX Pay aims to bridge the gap between on-chain assets and real-world commerce. This integration will allow users to spend USD Coin (USDC) held on the XDC network directly at any merchant that accepts Visa, functioning like a regular card payment. The goal is to reduce reliance on costly and time-consuming fiat currency conversions and third-party off-ramps. Ritesh Kakkad, co-founder of XDC Network, sees this as a move towards everyday blockchain utility. Similarly, OrbitX CEO Ankitt Guar stated the initiative aims to reduce friction by keeping users in control of their assets while connecting to global payment networks. This development occurs as stablecoin adoption grows. A BVNK research report found that 56% of stablecoin users plan to acquire more in the next year, and over half increased their holdings in the past year. Notably, about 35% of income for freelancers and sellers is received in stablecoins on average. The move underscores the evolution of digital assets from speculative instruments into practical tools for daily spending, though meaningful adoption of such integrations remains an open question.

XDC Network (XDC) has seen a 3.15% price increase, trading around $0.03456 with a market cap of $689.24 million. Daily trading volume rose over 16% to $25.81 million. The price faces resistance near $0.03477, with potential to climb higher, but could also fall to support at $0.03435 if bearish pressure returns. Technical indicators present a mixed outlook. The 4-hour MACD remains in bearish territory but shows signs of a potential bullish crossover. The Chaikin Money Flow indicates slight selling pressure, while the daily RSI at 57.76 suggests moderate bullish conditions with room for further upside. The Bull Bear Power shows a very mild bullish tilt, indicating possible consolidation rather than a strong trend. The overall momentum hinges on whether buyers can sustain control and push the price beyond key resistance levels.

Crypto analyst X Finance Bull highlights that the XDC altcoin recently surpassed Bitcoin as the most-visited cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCap over seven days. He attributes this attention to its foundational purpose: digitizing the $2.5 trillion trade finance gap using a blockchain built for institutions. Key features include 2,000 TPS, 2-second finality, near-zero fees, KYC-verified masternodes, and ISO 20022 compliance. The network has notable adoption, including custody from BitGo, over $100 million in daily trade finance volume via Liqi, and partnerships like ComTech Gold's tokenized gold. With a market cap around $635 million and a price near $0.03, the pundit believes XDC remains significantly undervalued given its multi-trillion-dollar market potential.
