Bitcoin, Binance, Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple: The Biggest Crypto News of the Last Week

2:00 pm ▪ 4 min read ▪ by Luc Jose A.

Between game-changing announcements, technological breakthroughs, and regulatory turmoil, the crypto ecosystem continues to prove itself as both a territory of limitless innovation and a battleground for regulatory and economic developments. Here’s a roundup of the most notable news stories from the past week regarding Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance, Solana, and Ripple.

Trump assassination attempt: Bitcoin soars

Last Saturday, an assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania shook the political and financial landscape. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was neutralized after wounding Trump in the ear. The attack triggered an immediate reaction in the cryptocurrency markets, with the price of Bitcoin rising 5.5% to $62,450. Trump, known for his support of the cryptocurrency industry, stands in stark contrast to his opponent Joe Biden, which has boosted investor confidence in a potential pro-crypto administration. Bitcoin’s surge has been followed by other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Solana, driven by public support from influential figures such as Elon Musk.

XRP Reaches New Milestone Towards Institutional Recognition

Ripple has reached a crucial milestone in integrating XRP into the institutional market with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) announcing the launch of real-time price indices for the cryptocurrency. The initiative, supported by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, marks a significant step forward for XRP and provides institutional investors with reliable and accurate price references. The launch of these indices by CME, in partnership with CF Benchmarks, includes continuous updates based on the activity of major trading platforms such as Coinbase and Kraken. This could pave the way for future developments such as an XRP-based ETF, further strengthening its position in the traditional financial market.

Bitcoin joins French retirement savings plans

Bitcoin does a notable entry into the French Pension Savings Plans (PER) through an innovative partnership between VanEck Europe and Inter Invest. This partnership introduces a Bitcoin ETN, allowing French savers to diversify their portfolios with the leading cryptocurrency. This ETN, backed by real bitcoins and held by a regulated custodian, guarantees safe and controlled exposure to this emerging asset class. Jean-Baptiste de Pascal, Deputy General Manager of Inter Invest, emphasizes that this initiative is part of a strategy to democratize innovative financial assets. Martijn Rozemuller, CEO of VanEck Europe, adds that although Bitcoin is currently volatile, it represents an innovative long-term asset. This integration of Bitcoin into the PER opens up new opportunities for savers, while modernizing the retirement savings sector in France and meeting the expectations of investors seeking diversification.

USDT surpasses Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana in transaction volume

Tether (USDT) recently hit a daily transaction volume of over $55 billionoutperforming Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), and Solana (SOL) combined. This performance highlights the growing role of stablecoins in the crypto ecosystem, particularly during periods of high volatility. The growing demand for more stable assets like USDT, coupled with its increasing use in commercial transactions, explains this trend. The increased liquidity provided by USDT strengthens investor confidence and stabilizes exchanges. The outlook for USDT and stablecoins, in general, is promising, but depends on regulatory developments and market adoption.

“With ETH ETFs set to go live, Trump speaking at The Bitcoin Conference, and BTC, ETH, and SOL charts looking [they do] (while stocks are weak), it’s hard to imagine a world where we don’t ship next week.”

BTC, ETH, and SOL are trading at $67,333, $3,528, and $174 at the time of writing, respectively.

Here’s the next target for BTC before bulls can hold out for $70K

Bitcoin’s recovery is going well, and the market is seemingly poised to create a new all-time high in the near term.

Technical analysis

Per NegotiationRage

The daily chart

As the daily chart shows, the price of Bitcoin has been rising since it broke above the 200-day moving average.

The market has also reclaimed the $60K and $65K levels and is moving towards the $68K resistance zone, which could be the last hurdle before creating a new all-time high. With the RSI also indicating that the price has clear bullish momentum, it could be just a matter of time.

The 4-hour chart

Looking at the 4-hour chart, it is evident that the price has been rising rapidly since breaking the downtrend line to the upside. The market also broke the $65K resistance level with momentum, turning it into a support.

While almost everything points to a new record high in the coming weeks, there is one worrying sign. The RSI is showing a clear bearish divergence between recent price highs, which could indicate a correction or even a reversal in the near term.
