XRP is on fire, surging over 12% to break the $2 mark!

The rally comes as Ripple’s elusive co-founder Arthur Britto broke a 14-year silence with a cryptic post, sparking

wild speculation.

Meanwhile, Ripple and the SEC are close to settling their years-long legal battle, with a $125 million escrow

fund on the line.

Some analysts predict XRP could hit $6 if momentum holds, but others warn of a possible correction.

As one pro-XRP lawyer put it, “The most probable scenario is that both parties accept the summary judgment,

penalty, and permanent injunction.” Big news for US homebuyers: regulators are exploring Bitcoin-backed mortgages!

Imagine using your crypto as collateral to buy a house—no need to sell and trigger taxes.

This move could bring digital assets into mainstream finance, with even MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor offering his firm’s Bitcoin

credit model to help assess risk.

As one official said, “We will study the usage of cryptocurrency holdings as it relates to qualifying for

mortgages.” Japan is shaking up the crypto world!

The country’s financial regulator just proposed classifying crypto as financial products, opening the door for exchange-traded funds (ETFs)

and slashing capital gains tax to a flat 20%.

With over 12 million active crypto accounts, this could supercharge adoption and attract big investors.

The move is part of Japan’s push to become an investment powerhouse.

Meme coins are back in the spotlight!

Dogecoin jumped over 8% after the Israel-Iran ceasefire, and Pepe is up nearly 5%.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are also climbing, with Bitcoin holding above $105,000.

But watch out—market sentiment is still fragile, and any geopolitical shake-up could trigger wild swings.

As one analyst said, “Either side breaking the terms of the ceasefire could cause markets to retreat, unwinding

the rally.” Ethereum developers are planning to double block speed by 2026, aiming for faster transactions and a

better user experience.

Meanwhile, Pi Network rebounded 5% on GenAI rumors, but with a massive token unlock looming, the rally could

be short-lived.
