Bitcoin’s finite supply and increasing demand could drive its price to an estimated $130,000 by 2025. This price point, largely speculative, considers the number of Bitcoin addresses with a balance as a reliable factor, indicating the potential interest of investors.

The Bitcoin weekly options expiry on July 14 may shift market attitudes, with potential for the $30,000 support level to crumble. The recent U.S. inflation drop could encourage investors to pivot to fixed-income investments, making Bitcoin less appealing. However, the final outcome remains uncertain, given latest macroeconomic data and critiqued exchange practices.

“Shiba Inu (SHIB) defied the market’s expectations with an impressive 6.5% hike despite the rumors of a potential token sell-off.

“Ripple Labs won a legal battle asserting they did not violate federal securities law regarding XRP sales. This triggered a bullish wave in XRP’s market performance, with a 70% surge within a day. US-based exchanges like Gemini are planning to relist XRP, maintaining its bullish momentum.”

“Conflux (CFX) is currently at a significant resistance level, its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA). However, decreased trading volume and ongoing bearish momentum suggest market weakness. Meanwhile, the new Mr. Hankey Coin offers a humorous and unique investment opportunity in the meme coin arena, committing to transparency and investor protection.”

The high-profile cryptocurrency platform, Nexo, is involved in a complex legal case with its co-founder Georgi Shulev, over a reported missing $12 million hardware wallet. The dispute centers around a lost Ledger hardware wallet, account freezing, and crypto value loss, reflecting the challenges of controlling digital assets and security in the decentralized blockchain world.

Bitcoin remains steady around $30,500, igniting speculation of a potential bullish phase. It found support at $30,400, accelerating robust debate amongst analysts.

Centralized stablecoins, stabilizing their price against another asset like the U.S dollar, account for 75% of all transactions on centralized crypto exchanges, with TrueUSD (TUSD) and Tether’s USDT taking significant shares.

The future of such stablecoins depends on addressing these vulnerabilities and embracing transparency.

“The price of XRP surged 28% in a span of 90 minutes after a New York Court ruling stated the selling of XRP on exchanges doesn’t fall under ‘investment contracts’. This led to XRP reaching high of 64.7 cents, a level not seen since May 2022. The ruling has triggered mixed reactions, introducing both a surge in demand and percolating uncertainties for the future of XRP.”

Cardano witnessed a nearly 10% rise, surpassing the $0.31 resistance level due to a favorable ruling regarding XRP’s status. This ruling has weakened the SEC’s argument of classifying crypto assets as unregistered securities, leading to significant recovery in Cardano’s value. In the emerging AI-shaped crypto environment, new projects such as yPredict are seen as promising investment avenues.
