- CleanSpark to start selling Bitcoin in 'self-funding' pivotby Cointelegraph by Alex O’Donnell on April 15, 2025 at 9:14 pm
CleanSpark will start selling a portion of the Bitcoin earned from its mining operations each month in a bid to become financially self-sufficient, the US Bitcoin miner said on April 15. In addition, CleanSpark secured a $200 million credit facility backed by Bitcoin (BTC) through an agreement with Coinbase Prime, the institutional brokerage division of the crypto exchange, according to a statement.Together, the Bitcoin sales and credit line mean CleanSpark has “achieved escape velocity — the ability to self-fund operations, augment our bitcoin treasury, and contribute to expansion capital through operational cash flow,” Zach Bradford, CEO of CleanSpark, said. CleanSpark has opened an institutional Bitcoin trading desk to facilitate the cryptocurrency sales, it added. Crypto mining stocks are down sharply in 2025. Source: MorningstarRelated: Bitdeer turns to self-mining Bitcoin, US operations amid tariff tumult — ReportNavigating market volatility The Bitcoin miner’s emphasis on self-funding comes as mining stocks reel from across-the-board selloffs in the first quarter of 2025. Shares of CoinShares Crypto Miners ETF (WGMI) — a publicly traded fund tracking a diverse basket of Bitcoin mining stocks — are down more than 40% since the start of the year, according to data from Morningstar. “[W]e believe this is the right time to evolve from a nearly 100% hold strategy adopted in mid-2023 and move back using a portion of our monthly production to support operations,” Bradford said. Cheaper stock prices effectively increase Bitcoin miners’ cost of capital and can potentially cause creditors to demand faster loan repayments. Analysts at JP Morgan attributed the downturn to eroding cryptocurrency prices, which added pressure to business models already strained by the Bitcoin network’s April 2024 halving. Halvings occur roughly every four years when the Bitcoin network automatically cuts mining rewards in half. Price per Bitcoin versus network hashrate.

Bradford said he expects CleanSpark’s financial self-sufficiency to differentiate it from peers “who continue to rely on equity dilution to fund operating costs or increased leverage to grow their Bitcoin reserves.”Other miners are taking similarly aggressive measures to adapt to the changing market.Bitdeer, a Singapore-based crypto miner, has reportedly touted plans to start manufacturing mining hardware in the United States to mitigate the impact of Trump’s planned import tariffs.

- Should Bitcoin investors worry about flat inflows to the spot BTC ETFs?by Cointelegraph by Marcel Pechman on April 15, 2025 at 8:58 pm
Spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds saw a total of $872 million in net outflows between April 3 and April 10, causing traders to wonder if overall interest in Bitcoin is fading. The strong selling pressure began on April 3, as global trade tensions increased and fears of an economic recession grew. This trend is especially concerning after two days of spot Bitcoin ETF net flows below $2 million on April 11 and April 14.Spot Bitcoin ETFs aggregate net flows, USD. Source: CoinGlassBitcoin’s price has remained relatively stable near $83,000 for the past five weeks, which further suggests weak interest from both buyers and sellers. On one hand, this lack of volatility could show that Bitcoin is becoming a more mature asset class. For example, several S&P 500 companies have dropped 40% or more from their all-time highs, while Bitcoin’s largest drawdown in 2025 was a healthier 32%.However, Bitcoin’s performance has disappointed those who believed in the “digital gold” narrative. Gold has gained 23% so far in 2025, reaching an all-time high of $3,245 on April 11. Even though Bitcoin outperformed the S&P 500 by 4% over the past 30 days, some investors worry that its appeal is fading, as it is currently uncorrelated with other assets and not acting as a reliable store of value.Average Bitcoin ETF volume surpasses $2 billion per dayWhen looking at the spot Bitcoin ETF market—especially compared to gold—Bitcoin has some advantages. On April 14, spot Bitcoin ETFs had a combined trading volume of $2.24 billion, which is 18% below the 30-day average of $2.75 billion. So, it would not be accurate to say that investor interest in these products has disappeared.Spot Bitcoin ETFs daily volumes, USD. Source: CoinGlassWhile Bitcoin ETF volumes are lower than the $54 billion per day traded by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), they are not far behind gold ETFs at $5.3 billion and are ahead of US Treasurys ETFs at $2.1 billion. This is impressive, considering that spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US only launched in January 2024, while gold ETFs have been trading for over 20 years and have $137 billion in assets under management.Even when including the Grayscale GBTC Trust, which surpassed 200,000 shares traded per day in 2017 before it was converted to an ETF, Bitcoin investment products are still less than eight years old. Currently, spot Bitcoin ETFs hold about $94.6 billion in assets under management, which is more than the market capitalization of well-known companies such as British American Tobacco, UBS, ICE, BNP Paribas, Cigna, Sumitomo Mitsui and several others.Related: Bitcoin shows growing strength during market downturn — WintermuteRanking of tradable assets by market capitalization, USD: Source: 8marketcapTo see how spot Bitcoin ETFs have become established in the industry, one can look at the top holders of these products. These include well-known names like Brevan Howard, D.E. Shaw, Apollo Management, Mubadala Investment, and the State of Wisconsin Investment. From pension funds to some of the world’s largest independent asset managers, Bitcoin ETFs provide an alternative to traditional assets, regardless of short-term price movements.As the asset class grows and more products like futures and options are listed, Bitcoin may eventually be included in global indexes, whether in the commodities or currencies category. This could lead passive funds to invest, increasing both price potential and trading volume. Therefore, the current lack of strong net inflows or outflows is not unusual and should not be seen as a sign of weakness.This article is for general information purposes and is not intended to be and should not be taken as legal or investment advice.

- 3iQ’s Canadian Solana ETF selects Figment as staking providerby Cointelegraph by Sam Bourgi on April 15, 2025 at 8:57 pm
Blockchain infrastructure provider Figment has been selected as the staking provider for 3iQ’s newly approved Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF), underscoring Canada’s continued efforts toward adoption of digital asset financial products.Figment will enable institutional staking for the 3iQ Solana (SOL) Staking ETF, which launches on the Toronto Stock Exchange on April 16 under the ticker SOLQ, the companies said in a statement. In addition to 3iQ, Figment provides staking infrastructure solutions to more than 700 clients. The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), a provincial regulator, green-lighted 3iQ’s SOL fund on April 14. The approval was also extended to other fund managers seeking to offer SOL ETFs, including Purpose, Evolve and CI.As Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas reported at the time, the funds are permitted to stake a portion of their SOL holdings through TD Bank, Canada’s second-largest financial institution by assets. Source: Eric Balchunas3iQ estimates that its SOL fund will provide yields of between 6% and 8%, according to its website. Related: Solana, XRP ETFs may attract billions in new investment — JPMorgan3iQ leads Canadian crypto ETFs as US regulators drag their feetAs US regulators continue to consider various crypto-related fund offerings, Canada has been leading the curve in adoption going back to 2021. That was the year that 3iQ debuted its spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF, which crossed $1 billion in net assets almost immediately. It would take nearly three more years before spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved in the United States. Like their Canadian counterparts, the US ETFs saw overwhelming success in their first year, generating more than $38 billion in net inflows.In October 2023, 3iQ launched an ETF tied to Ether (ETH), giving investors direct access to the smart contract platform. Unlike the Ether ETFs that US regulators approved the following year, 3iQ’s fund offers staking rewards. As Cointelegraph recently reported, US regulators may be on the cusp of approving staking rewards after they authorized exchanges to list options contracts tied to ETH.Source: James SeyffartRelated: SEC delays staking decision for Grayscale ETH ETFs
- OpenAI is building 'X-like social network' to rival Elon Musk — Reportby Cointelegraph by Sam Bourgi on April 15, 2025 at 6:45 pm
Large language model developer OpenAI is reportedly working on a new social media network, putting the company on a collision course with Elon Musk’s X and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms.Citing anonymous sources, The Verge reported on April 15 that OpenAI is developing an “X-like social network” that combines ChatGPT’s image generation tools and a social feed, presumably to allow users to share their AI-generated pictures with a broader audience. It’s unclear whether OpenAI will spin out a new social media platform or roll the features into ChatGPT, the sources said.OpenAI has become one of the most powerful technology companies in the world following the overwhelming success of its ChatGPT models. Its first-mover advantage in the AI race allowed it to raise $40 billion at a $300 billion valuation in a funding deal that was spearheaded by SoftBank Group.ChatGPT has 400 million weekly active users as of February 2025 — up from 50 million at the beginning of 2023.

- Bitcoin death cross still present despite rally to $86K — Should BTC traders be afraid?by Cointelegraph by Marie Poteriaieva on April 15, 2025 at 6:42 pm
On April 6, Bitcoin price formed a death cross on a daily chart — a technical pattern where the 50-day moving average (MA) falls below the 200-day MA. Historically associated with trend reversals and long bearish trading periods, this ominous signal has sometimes preceded major market drawdowns.The latest death cross comes amid growing macroeconomic uncertainty. Equities are reeling from what appears to be the early stages of a tariff war, volatility is rising, and fear continues to dominate investor sentiment. For some investors, Bitcoin’s death cross could be the final blow to hopes of a near-term rally. Early signs of capitulation from short-term holders may already be emerging.Still, not everyone sees doom ahead.Bitcoin death crosses historyBy definition, a death cross confirms the end of a bullish phase. When the 50-day MA drops below the 200-day MA, it suggests recent price action has weakened relative to the longer-term trend. Its counterpart, the golden cross, occurs when the opposite happens — often heralding a new rally.Since its inception, Bitcoin has experienced 10 such death crosses, with the 11th unfolding right now. Analyzing their dates and durations gives a major insight: every bear market included a death cross, but not every death cross has led to a bear market. This distinction is key to understanding the current setup.BTC/USD 1-day death cross history (log). Source: Marie Poteriaieva, TradingViewIndeed, there are two types of death crosses: those that happen during bear markets and the rest. The three death crosses that formed during the bear markets of 2014-2015, 2018, and 2022 were long and painful. They lasted for 9 to 13 months and saw drawdowns between 55% and 68% from the day of the cross to the cycle bottom.The remaining seven were far less severe. They lasted from 1.5 months to 3.5 months and saw Bitcoin decline anywhere from 27% to nothing at all. In many cases, these signals marked local bottoms and were followed by renewed rallies.This brings us to the critical question: Is Bitcoin already in a bear market, or is this another bear trap?A bearish signal?If Bitcoin is indeed in bear territory, as CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju believes, the current death cross could signal 6 to 12 more months of downward price action. This outlook aligns with his observations of the difference between the current market cap and the realized cap (average cost basis for each wallet x amount of BTC held).“If Realized Cap is growing, but Market Cap is stagnant or falling, it means capital is flowing in, but prices aren’t rising—a classic bearish signal.”Current data clearly points to the latter, Ki Young Ju adds.“Sell pressure could ease anytime, but historically, real reversals take at least six months—so a short-term rally seems unlikely.”BTC growth rate difference. Source: CryptoQuantOther market participants disregard the presence of the death cross. Crypto analyst Mister Crypto argued that the current death cross is a setup for a rally rather than a slide. “The trap is set again. This will be the most hated rally of 2025!” he posted alongside a chart showing previous false signals of this cycle.Bitcoin death cross during the bull market. Source: Mister CryptoCoinShares head of research James Butterfill also downplayed the signal’s significance. As he put it, “For those of you that think the Bitcoin death cross means anything – empirically, it’s total nonsense, and in fact, often a good buying opportunity.” Butterfill’s data shows that, on average, Bitcoin prices are only slightly lower one month after a death cross (-3.2%) and often higher three months out.Related: Trump tariffs reignite idea that Bitcoin could outlast US dollarInterestingly, Bitcoin isn’t the only asset flashing warning signs. The Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 are both on the verge of forming their own death crosses, while individual tech stocks — including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Alphabet — have already triggered them or are close to doing so. Bitcoin’s recent move is part of a larger market reset, for better or for worse. At the moment, however, it leans more toward the “worse” side: as some analysts point out, what’s bad for the Nasdaq tends to be bad for Bitcoin, too. Unless, of course, Bitcoin fully claims its role as digital gold.This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.

- Ethereum Metrics Reveal Critical Support Level – Can Buyers Step In?by Sebastian Villafuerte on April 15, 2025 at 9:00 pm
Ethereum is trading above the $1,600 mark after a turbulent period marked by heightened volatility and growing uncertainty surrounding global trade policies. As US President Donald Trump’s tariff measures continue to shake investor sentiment, crypto markets have struggled to find direction. Ethereum, like the broader market, is attempting to stabilize after weeks of aggressive selling pressure and macroeconomic headwinds. Related Reading: XRP Tests Ascending Triangle Resistance – Can Bulls Reach $2.40 Level? Despite signs of weakness, bulls are now trying to regain control. However, price action still suggests the downtrend may not be over yet. ETH must reclaim key levels to confirm short-term momentum for any meaningful recovery to unfold. Until then, caution dominates the market outlook. Glassnode data provides a hopeful perspective for Ethereum bulls. According to on-chain metrics, the most critical support level currently sits at $1,546.55—where whales accumulated over 822,440 ETH. This level could serve as a strong foundation for a bounce if tested again, as historically, zones with heavy accumulation tend to attract renewed buying interest. The coming days will be crucial for Ethereum’s trajectory. Holding above this support while pushing into higher resistance could be the catalyst needed to reignite bullish sentiment and reverse recent losses. Ethereum Tests Key Resistance As Bulls Eye Recovery Ethereum has surged more than 20% since last Wednesday’s low near $1,380, generating renewed optimism among investors hoping for a broader market recovery. Currently trading around key resistance levels, ETH appears to be forming a base for a potential breakout that could mark the beginning of a new upward phase. However, the path forward remains uncertain as global macroeconomic conditions continue to weigh heavily on market sentiment. Growing speculation of a policy shift following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 90-day tariff pause for all countries except China sparked the recent surge. This decision triggered a temporary risk-on sentiment across global markets, with cryptocurrencies benefiting from the momentum. Still, concerns about long-term US foreign policy and lingering trade tensions have left many investors cautious. While some analysts believe that Ethereum has already priced in the worst of the selloff, others warn that we may only be in the early stages of a broader bear cycle. Despite the divergence in outlooks, on-chain data suggests that a major support level has formed. According to analyst Ali Martinez, the most critical support for Ethereum sits at $1,546.55—an area where more than 822,440 ETH were previously accumulated. This level is being closely monitored as a potential pivot zone. If bulls can maintain price action above this threshold and successfully push through current resistance, it could trigger a strong continuation rally and restore confidence in the altcoin market. Until then, Ethereum remains at a crossroads, with the next move likely to be shaped by a combination of market momentum, geopolitical developments, and investor conviction.

ETH Price Struggles at Resistance: Bulls Must Reclaim $1,875 Ethereum is trading at $1,630 after setting a fresh 4-hour high around $1,691, slightly above the previous local peak. The short-term price structure suggests that bulls are trying to regain momentum, but the recovery remains uncertain without a clear breakout above key resistance levels. For Ethereum to confirm a true reversal and enter a bullish recovery phase, it must reclaim the $1,875 level — a zone that aligns with both the 4-hour 200-day moving average (MA) and exponential moving average (EMA). This critical level has acted as a major barrier since the downtrend began, and breaking above it would signal a shift in trend and market sentiment. However, failing to push beyond this range could send ETH back to retest the $1,500 support zone or even lower.

- Dogecoin Price To Enter Phase E After Testing Last Point Of Support, Here’s The Targetby Scott Matherson on April 15, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade has provided an update on the Dogecoin price action. He revealed that the foremost meme coin is set to enter Phase E next, during which it could rally to new highs. Dogecoin Price To Enter Phase E Next After Testing Last Point Of Support In an X post, Trader Tardigrade stated that the Dogecoin price will enter Phase E and then the Mark-Up phase after the move of Sign of Strength (SOS) and Last Point of Support (LPS). This came as he also revealed that DOGE has entered Phase D in the Wyckoff Accumulation. The analyst also noted that the meme coin completed the TEST in Phase C and the Last Point of Support in Phase D. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Warns Dogecoin Price Correction Was A False Breakout, Calls 30% Crash His accompanying chart showed that the LPS in Phase D for the Dogecoin price is around $0.174, while the SOS will be a successful reclaim and hold above $0.18. This will usher DOGE into Phase E, where it is projected to rally to as high as $2.1, marking a new all-time high (ATH) for the foremost meme coin. In another X post, Trader Tardigrade stated that the Dogecoin price could be forming an inverse Head and Shoulders pattern on the 4-hour chart, providing a bullish outlook for the foremost meme coin. His accompanying chart showed that Dogecoin could rally to $0.183 on this rebound, which is the SOS for the meme coin in this Phase D. It is worth mentioning that crypto analyst Kingpin Crypto also provided a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price, predicting that it could bounce from the current support and rally above the psychological $0.2 price level. The analyst asserted that DOGE’s chart is one of the best right now in terms of price, which is at a clear level of higher timeframe support. DOGE Gearing Up For A Big Week In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that the Dogecoin price is gearing up for a big week. He remarked that a close above $0.17 could open the door to $0.21 or even $0.29 if it holds the key support level at $0.13. However, the analyst recently revealed that DOGE whales are choosing to remain on the sidelines for now, which could be bearish for the meme coin.

- Dogecoin Whales Buy 800 Million DOGE in 48 Hours – Smart Money Or Bull Trap?by Sebastian Villafuerte on April 15, 2025 at 6:00 pm
Dogecoin is showing signs of strength after weeks of volatility and market uncertainty. The meme-inspired cryptocurrency has held firm above crucial support levels and is now pushing toward a potential recovery rally. After reclaiming the $0.15 mark, bulls are looking to build momentum, with the $0.17 level emerging as the next major resistance to break. A successful move above this threshold could confirm a broader trend reversal and reignite bullish sentiment across the meme coin sector. Related Reading: XRP Tests Ascending Triangle Resistance – Can Bulls Reach $2.40 Level? Supporting this outlook, recent on-chain data from Santiment shows that Dogecoin whales have been highly active—accumulating over 800 million DOGE in the last 48 hours. This surge in whale buying activity adds weight to the bullish thesis, suggesting that larger players are positioning for a move higher. The renewed accumulation, paired with improving technical conditions, has sparked optimism among traders and investors who believe Dogecoin could be gearing up for its next leg upward. Still, caution remains, as global macroeconomic tensions continue to create unpredictable conditions across the financial markets. For Dogecoin to confirm a recovery rally, bulls must hold current levels and push through near-term resistance in the coming sessions. Dogecoin Faces Crucial Resistance As Whale Accumulation Builds Dogecoin is now at a pivotal point, trading just below key resistance levels after a strong rebound from recent lows. As broader market conditions improve and global tensions—especially around trade and tariffs—begin to cool, analysts are turning their attention to assets like DOGE that have lagged in performance but now show signs of potential upside. The meme coin has managed to reclaim the $0.15 mark, but to validate a broader recovery rally, bulls must push beyond the $0.17–$0.18 zone in the days ahead. Momentum indicators are beginning to flip bullish, and some market watchers suggest that Dogecoin could be preparing for a breakout. However, sentiment remains mixed, with others pointing to the possibility of a continuation of the downtrend, particularly if resistance holds or macroeconomic conditions deteriorate. Despite this uncertainty, on-chain data paints a more optimistic picture. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared insights on X, revealing that Dogecoin whales have accumulated over 800 million DOGE in the last 48 hours. This level of accumulation by large holders suggests renewed confidence in the asset’s short-term potential. Historically, such whale activity has often preceded strong price moves in DOGE. For bulls to take control, Dogecoin must break above near-term resistance and sustain momentum amid a still-volatile environment. A failure to do so could see the asset slip back into consolidation or even retest previous lows. The coming week will be critical for determining whether DOGE’s next move is a breakout or another pullback. Related Reading: Dogecoin Gears Up For A Breakout To $0.29: Can Bulls Hold Key Support? DOGE Price Holds $0.16 As Bulls Aim for Breakout Dogecoin is trading at $0.16 after failing to reclaim the 4-hour 200 Moving Average (MA) near $0.168, a level that has acted as strong short-term resistance. Despite recent bullish momentum across the crypto market, DOGE bulls are struggling to regain control. The $0.15 level now serves as critical support. If Dogecoin holds this area, there’s a strong chance it could push higher in the coming sessions. A successful break above $0.17 would be significant, potentially opening the door to a rally toward $0.20, a level not seen since early April. However, price rejection and continued weakness around $0.168 suggest that sellers are still active, and bulls need to reclaim this moving average to build momentum. Related Reading: Solana Triggers Long Thesis After Pushing Above $125 – Start Of A Bigger Rally? If DOGE loses the $0.15 mark, downside risk increases sharply. A drop to $0.13—or even lower—is likely as bearish pressure could intensify in a volatile market. Investors will be watching closely for a clear move in either direction, as Dogecoin sits at a key inflection point. Volume and on-chain data, including recent whale accumulation, suggest potential, but confirmation must come through price action above immediate resistance.

- XRP Upswing Not Far Off As Open Interest Sways–Detailsby Christian Encila on April 15, 2025 at 4:30 pm
The price of XRP remains stable in an otherwise volatile market, currently selling at $2.15 with a an impressive 13% increase in the last seven days. The cryptocurrency holds on to being part of the top three digital currencies despite indicators pointing in varying directions. Though short-term price action indicates a period of consolidation, long-term potential for growth continues to be a possibility for investors monitoring this Ripple-supported coin. Related Reading: Whale Alert: Ripple Sends 200 Million XRP Into The Shadows Trading Volume Falls But Price Still Resilient The recent price movement of the coin has been hard to forecast. XRP has established lower highs and lower lows over the last day, leaving everyone wondering which way it will go next. The small 1.20% increase in the last 24 hours might not be the full picture, as the price is currently below today’s high of $2.18. Trading volume has dropped by 12% over the past 24 hours to $3.4 billion, from a high of more than $4 billion. Open Interest has also dropped by over 5%, with just 1.45 billion XRP (valued at $3 billion) locked in futures markets. In spite of these declining trends in trading activity, XRP’s price has not imploded. Technical indicators suggest a neutral Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 49, which means selling pressure has dissipated. The Bollinger Bands indicator indicates lower price volatility. Weekly Performance Depicts Optimism If one looks at the larger time frame, the bigger picture is more optimistic. XRP has risen by 13% in the last week, compared to several other cryptocurrencies. According to CoinShares’ latest digital asset report, only the top altcoin, XRP, had investment inflows, while both Bitcoin and Ethereum had outflows. This interesting trend is indicative of institutional investor trust in XRP when all other top cryptocurrencies are experiencing selling pressure. Corporate Developments Might Fuel Future Growth Ripple Labs’ new business developments may influence the price of XRP in upcoming weeks. The company has acquired Hidden Road, a leading prime brokerage company, which has been its first foray into traditional financial markets. According to reports, both XRP and RLUSD (Ripple’s USD stablecoin) have roles to play in this development. This conventional finance adoption may increase the price and usage of XRP if the company’s strategy works out. Related Reading: Crypto Holders Beware!

Meanwhile, market technicians are keeping a close eye on major technical levels and trading trends, but the combination of reduced volatility and continued weekly gains indicates XRP might be setting the stage for a more meaningful price move in the near term.

- Forget XRP At $3, Analyst Reveals How High Price Will Be In A Few Monthsby Scott Matherson on April 15, 2025 at 3:00 pm
XRP may have spent the past few weeks struggling to hold above the $2 level, but one analyst believes the recent price action is only in its early stages of a much larger surge. For those who think $3 is a reasonable target, this outlook predicted that the real move could take the altcoin far beyond that mark and possibly much sooner than expected. Multi-Stage Price Path With $10 To $20 The $3 price level has become the psychological and technical battleground for bullish XRP investors this cycle, serving as the most active price point. Earlier in January, the token briefly surged past this level, coming within striking distance of its all-time high of $3.40, before a wave of selling pressure triggered a pullback.

Yet, the outlook is once again tilting bullish. XRP has rebounded above $2 and is building a strong base to support another run toward $3. If the current momentum continues to gain traction, reclaiming $3 is not only likely, it could happen within a matter of weeks. One of the boldest predictions comes from a trader known as BarriC, who has laid out a roadmap that extends far beyond the $3 threshold. In a recent post on social media platform X, he forecasted that XRP, now trading near $2.20, will break $3 soon. But his outlook doesn’t stop there. He predicted that by May, the sentiment surrounding XRP could shift so drastically that $5 would be seen as the new “cheap” price for XRP. Taking things a step further, the analyst noted that if the broader crypto market transitions into a full-blown altcoin season, XRP could establish a new short-term trading range between $10 and $20 within the next few months. Utility Run Scenario Places “Cheap” XRP Closer To $1,000 Perhaps the most striking part of BarriC’s analysis comes from what he describes as a “utility run.” This utility run is a scenario where XRP’s real-world use cases as a bridge cryptocurrency start to gain adoption and reflect in its price. Under such conditions, the term “cheap XRP” would apply to prices below $1,000.

As ultra-bullish as it might seem, the analyst’s price prediction isn’t surprising, as the cryptocurrency has been subjected to similar bullish outlooks in the past few days. Beyond bullish price targets, a few analysts now believe that XRP will flip both Ethereum and Bitcoin in the coming months. One such example is analyst Axel Rodd, who cited the breakdown in Bitcoin dominance as a reason why XRP will flip Bitcoin. Similarly, analysts at Standard Chartered recently predicted that the altcoin will flip Ethereum in market cap by 2028. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
