A final shakeout phase before a potential breakout is playing out for XRP, according to market analyst GainMuse.XRP’s consolidation inside a long-term wedge has gone through the roof, illustrating tightening volatility as a macro trend continues to mature.Therefore, beneath the surface, XRP’s compression might be reaching a boiling point, with the current liquidity trap favoring long-term, larger players at the expense of weaker ones, as accumulation is occurring at discounted levels.GainMuse acknowledges that $1.28-$1.29 is the key support area, with XRP’s current price slightly above this zone at $1.33 per, according to CoinGecko data.Market sentiment and on-chain indicators add further intrigue, given that XRP’s fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) has jumped to elevated levels.Interestingly, this bearish sentiment usually aligns with local bottoms rather than breakdowns, suggesting that XRP might be in for an upward reversal.For now, the convergence of heightened pessimism, declining exchange supply, and technical compression may be a telling sign that a meteoric liftoff is in the picture for XRP.With the $1.28-$1.29 zone being a vital inflection point that could trigger a broader recovery phase or extend the current corrective structure, GainMuse acknowledges that the next macro resistance ceiling sits at the $1.41-$1.42 area.

Market Updates: Justin Sun Accuses WLFI of Contract Blacklist Misuse, Alameda Moves $16M SOL for FTX Payouts, Aave Labs Secures $25M Funding
A major controversy has emerged between Justin Sun and the Trump-linked crypto project WLFI, setting the tone for today’s market developments.

In a post on X, Sun alleges that the platform embedded a hidden blacklist function within its smart contract, which was used to freeze his wallet in September 2025 without prior notice.
As WLFI’s largest investor, Sun has raised broader concerns about the project’s governance. Specifically, he claims that voting mechanisms were structured to justify freezing investor assets. In addition, he alleges that the team extracted undisclosed fees and misused community funds. Sun further describes the operation as functioning like a “personal ATM.”

Data from Bubblemaps indicates that Sun’s frozen holdings total roughly 545 million WLFI tokens, which have declined by more than $80 million in value since the freeze.

However, WLFI has strongly denied the allegations, calling them unfounded and accusing Sun of misconduct. The project has also signaled potential legal action, suggesting the dispute could escalate into court proceedings.

While the WLFI dispute dominates headlines, XRP is experiencing a sharp rise in negative sentiment.

Data from Santiment shows that fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) surrounding XRP have reached their third-highest level in two years. In a recent post on X, Santiment noted that such extreme bearish sentiment has historically preceded market rebounds.

At present, XRP is trading at $1.33, down 63.6% from its July 2025 high of $3.65, according to CoinGecko. This prolonged downturn appears to have driven many retail investors out of the market, potentially creating conditions for a sentiment-driven recovery.

Visa, Stripe and Zodia Custody by Standard Chartered become validators on Tempo's payments blockchain
Visa, Stripe and Zodia by Standard Chartered are notable early additions for Tempo as it begins to build out its validator set.

Tempo recently launched on mainnet alongside an agentic payments protocol designed to enable transactions by software agents.

Institutional payments heavyweights Visa and Stripe, along with Zodia Custody by Standard Chartered, have signed on as early validators for Tempo as it begins to expand beyond its initial small circle of operators.

Validators run the infrastructure that verifies, orders and finalizes transactions onchain — a role that lends itself to established, well-capitalized institutions capable of operating global, always-on systems. The new entrants fit the bill, collectively processing trillions of dollars of payments each year.

"Tempo is building payments infrastructure the way we think about it at Visa, purpose-built for moving value at scale," said Cuy Sheffield, Visa's head of crypto.

"Visa has spent decades running one of the world's most resilient payment networks, with globally distributed data centers, built‑in redundancy, and network‑level defenses that block tens of millions of attacks and billions in fraud every year. Bringing that operational rigor to Tempo's validator set is a natural next step as stablecoin payments scale," Sheffield added.

Tempo is an Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 built for high-throughput payments and stablecoin settlement, particularly among larger institutions.

The project was incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, and launched on private testnet in September.

The firm was valued at roughly $5 billion following a $500 million Series A in October, with backing from investors including Sequoia Capital, Ribbit Capital and SV Angel.

Global digital asset funds posted inflows of $1.1 billion last week, the highest figure since January, according to data tracked by crypto asset manager CoinShares.CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said the recent inflows were primarily driven by softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data and easing geopolitical tensions, both of which helped restore investor risk appetite.Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.1 billion in inflows last week, with Bitcoin leading the surge at $872 million, according to a Monday report from CoinShares.The rebound represents a strong shift from the previous week, when crypto funds saw $224 million in inflows, with XRP leading allocations while demand for Bitcoin remained uneven.The latest inflows represent the second-largest weekly gain of 2026 so far, trailing only the $2.17 billion surge recorded in mid-January.Ethereum exchange-traded products (ETPs), meanwhile, saw a strong sentiment rebound, attracting about $197 million in inflows—marking their first positive week after three straight weeks of withdrawals.Despite this recovery, Ethereum remains one of the few assets still in net negative territory year-to-date, with $130 million in outflows. In contrast, Bitcoin continues to dominate flows, leading the year with $1.9 billion in inflows and accounting for roughly 83% of the $2.3 billion total crypto ETP inflows so far in 2026.Bitcoin was trading at $71,060 at press time after rising nearly 4% over the past 24 hours, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Despite the recent rebound, BTC remains down roughly 43.6% from its all-time peak of $126,080 set on October 6, 2025.Although Bitcoin ETPs recorded strong inflows, short-Bitcoin products also witnessed notable activity, with $20 million in weekly inflows—their highest since November 2024—according to Butterfill.Elsewhere, XRP ETPs attracted around

Ethereum's long-term valuation narrative is beginning to translate into on-chain positioning, as institutional conviction aligns with supply dynamics.
