Popular digital brokerage platform Robinhood has launched micro futures contracts for Ripple’s XRP and Solana (SOL) , offering crypto traders the ability to trade derivatives with considerably lower capital requirements. The new offering announced on Friday expands on Robinhood’s existing crypto product lineup. Micro SOL, XRP Futures Contracts Go Live On Robinhood Robinhood has added micro futures contracts for XRP and Solana, and Bitcoin Friday futures to its trading platform. Micro futures are smaller contracts that allow retail and smaller-scale investors to speculate on or hedge against the price action of assets like stock indices, commodities, or currencies with lower capital requirements and less risk compared to standard futures. The Menlo Park, California-headquartered zero-commission trading venue already offers standard XRP and Solana futures on its platform. These are micro versions of standard cash-settled contracts offered by Chicago-based derivatives behemoth CME Group. The new micro XRP futures represent 2,500 XRP per contract (around $5,200 at publication time). Robinhood announced its foray into crypto futures earlier this year. At the time, the company said the rollout would initially be limited to Bitcoin and Ether. However, it later expanded to XRP and Solana futures. One way the U.S.-based trading firm has bolstered its crypto offerings is via strategic acquisitions of key players in the space. Earlier this month, Robinhood sealed a $200 million acquisition of crypto exchange Bitstamp — a deal pundits suggest will help it expand worldwide. The broker is extending its focus on derivatives as an effort to compete with established players like Charles Schwab and Morgan Stanley’s E*TRADE, which already offer crypto futures. Besides Robinhood, several prominent derivatives platforms have expanded their crypto suite under the new crypto-friendly Donald Trump administration. As ZyCrypto reported , the CME Group debuted its XRP futures on May 19, setting the stage for the eventual greenlighting of spot-based XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs). They registered approximately $542 million in notional monthly volume , which indicates strong institutional appetite. According to Bloomberg analysts, there is now a staggering 95% likelihood of spot XRP products being approved for launch in 2025.
The post Binance Coin Eyes $900 Target as Exchange Activity and Whale Moves Spike appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Binance Coin (BNB) is gaining bullish momentum as on-chain data signals rising Binance exchange activity and investor confidence for the exchange. As the platform’s activity is boosting with increasing inflows of top cryptos like BTC to Binance, growing institutional participation, and consistent BNB utility through trading and fee reductions. The stage is set for a strong upside in the BNB price trajectory and experts are projecting targets above $900 mark. Keep reading to know more. BTC Inflows Indicate Rising User Activity In Binance In recent data shared by an analyst , BTC inflows to Binance have surged, but this data showed a bigger picture for BNB than BTC. The broader implications go beyond BTC alone. Since BTC is the most dominant crypto holding over $2 trillion market cap, and a significantly large proportion of exchange-related activities occur on Binance. This itself is a strong optimistic point for Binance’s fundamentals. A closer look at its BTC inflows rising on Binance is a clear indication that BSC is witnessing growing user activity, which is evident by BSC’s daily transactions chart and active addresses chart of H1 2025. This reveals a more compelling narrative for Binance Coin (BNB), as this directly reveals that investor engagement on Binance rises, and BNB stands to benefit fundamentally. Binance Liquidity On Rise Similarly, when capital flows to an exchange, utility tokens like BNB are used for ecosystem access that boosts both demand and value. Based on CryptoQuant’s chart, the metric “exchange inflow – spent output value bands (%)” revealed that Whale-level transactions (10K BTC) spiked on June 16th, representing 83 percent of all inflows. This indicates that whale presence on Binance is advancing and is beneficial for the ecosystem. This indicates that capital inflows of institutional entities are rising. Source: cryptoquant Since, it’s a fact that liquidity is a key driver of any exchange’s health, and Binance is witnessing a rise in liquidity with advancing BTC inflows, which means more traders, higher order book depth, and tighter spreads. Therefore, as its platform utility gains organically, the BNB price rise seems imminent. Also, the current conditions are laying the groundwork for a strong bullish outlook for the BNB price in the coming weeks or months. Analyst Hints at a Rise Towards $900 in BNB Price Last year, the BNB price saw a magnificent climb from $202 to $794. However, bears dropped their price to $510 in Q1 of 2025. Later, in Q2, bullish momentum reawakened by hitting $698 by the last week of May. [post_titles_links postid=”475863″] Despite this growth, BNB has been stuck in a sideways trend for the past four weeks in June. This price action appears like a descending triangle pattern in the short term, and a breakout could propel it to $700 in the short term, with a recent catalyst to be activated on June 30th with the Maxwell hard fork . However, the long-term gains depend on its platform’s utility, which also appears to be promising. On a high time frame, the $BNB chart is really screaming for higher, especially when compared with the rest of the market. The price is just consolidating below a key resistance level, aligned with the previous cycle top. So we are really close to price discovery.

After breaking out of a bullish formation, SEI is attempting to reclaim a crucial level to continue its rally. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is preparing for another massive rally toward the $0.50 resistance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Next Price Discovery Coming? Analyst Shares BTC’s 2025 Roadmap SEI Leads Crypto Market As the market recovers from the recent pullback, SEI has soared from its local low and broken out of crucial levels. Earlier this week, the cryptocurrency pulled a nearly 100% rally from its 16% drop. Notably, SEI’s price followed the rest of the market last week and retested the $0.15 level, a support not seen since early April. Over the weekend, the altcoin recovered the crucial $0.20 area before jumping nearly 70% at the start of the week. Since then, the token has been hovering between $0.24 and $0.29, attempting to break out of the $0.30 resistance on Friday morning. Following this performance, analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems named SEI the “Bull of the week,” highlighting the cryptocurrency’s “beast mode” fueled by “the record on-chain activity of the token that has brought in new investors and whales” to the network after the breakout. Notably, the cryptocurrency is leading the top 100 cryptocurrencies list with a 43% weekly surge, surpassing the performance of market leaders Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Crypto Raven noted that SEI “has done a great job of breaking out as the market is looking very fresh right now,” suggesting the cryptocurrency could rally another 70%. Per the post, “if the market supports a bit more, we can very well reach $.5 from here. Back to the glory days of SEI.” Nonetheless, the market watcher considers that the altcoin could consolidate around the current area for a short period before continuing its rally toward the Q4 2024 levels. $0.28 Reclaim Needed For Bullish Continuation Analyst Nebraskangooner highlighted a four-month inverse Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern on SEI’s chart, noting that it was confirmed after this week’s breakout. The cryptocurrency broke out of the formation’s neckline after Wednesday’s price action, pointing out that “anything down to key support would be a solid retest spot.” After the retracement to the $0.27 area, the cryptocurrency retested the neckline, which SEI must hold for bullish continuation. Notably, SEI’s price has held this level despite closing around the $0.25 mark on Thursday. Similarly, Michaël van de Poppe affirmed that SEI will likely continue to rally as a “massive” bullish divergence on its trading pair against Bitcoin suggests that the cryptocurrency’s price is reversing. Based on this, the analyst forecasted that investors could “see 300+ sats soon.” Related Reading: Solana Price At ‘A Very Delicate Level’ – Analyst Says $148 Reclaim Is Key Meanwhile, market watcher The Wyckoff Architect shared a Low Time Frame (LTF) analysis on SEI’s price action. To the analyst, a reclaim of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) at $0.285 will confirm bullish continuation, with the cryptocurrency consolidating before breaking out. On the contrary, failing to reclaim and hold this area would trigger a bear scenario and risk a drop to a new local low. As of this writing, SEI is trading at $0.28, a 12% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin experienced significant volatility at the start of the week, leading to a dramatic shakeout in the derivatives market and underscoring a growing phase of market uncertainty. On-chain analytics firm Glassnode reported that within 24 hours, long positions worth $28.6 million and short positions worth $25.2 million were liquidated. This rare two-sided flush left many leveraged traders caught off guard and highlighted the fragility of current sentiment. Speculative Leverage Clears as Open Interest Falls The volatility also led to a 7% decline in BTC-denominated open interest, which dropped from 360,000 BTC to around 334,000 BTC. This decline indicates a reset in speculative leverage, potentially paving the way for a more stable market structure. Bitcoin’s price remained within the $100,000 to $110,000 range, with reduced on-chain activity hinting at a consolidation period rather than the beginning of a new rally. Glassnode noted that both profitability metrics and user participation are currently subdued. Technical Indicators Point to Key Support Levels From a technical viewpoint, Bitcoin’s failure to surpass external liquidity near $109,000 triggered a gradual decline in the short-term trend. On the 4-hour chart, BTC remains trapped within a descending channel, with a key support zone identified between $103,400 and $104,600. This area coincides with a daily fair value gap (FVG) and is backed by the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), raising the likelihood of a short-term bounce if momentum returns. Market Awaits Breakout as Bullish Momentum Stalls If BTC can collect internal liquidity within this critical zone, a bullish breakout above the descending channel remains plausible. However, the current lack of trading momentum and subdued on-chain activity suggests that the market could remain range-bound until stronger demand emerges. Inflation Concerns Weigh on Sentiment Adding to the uncertainty are macroeconomic headwinds. The latest Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data, the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge, showed an increase to 2.3%, matching expectations. However, Core PCE rose to 2.7%, slightly above forecasts. This marked the first increase in core inflation since February 2025, reinforcing the Fed’s cautious stance. As a result, expectations of an imminent interest rate cut have been tempered. Tight Financial Conditions Create Pressure for Bitcoin With inflation proving sticky, the Fed is unlikely to lower interest rates soon, keeping financial conditions tight. This environment is generally unfavorable for risk assets like Bitcoin. Glassnode’s quarterly data further highlights the tepid sentiment, with spot trading volume rising only slightly by $7.7 billion in Q2, while transfer volumes declined 36% earlier in the quarter. This combination of macroeconomic pressure and market consolidation suggests that Bitcoin’s next move remains uncertain.
