"Wall Street is coming for bitcoin." That phrase used to spark both hope and fear across crypto circles. Today, it's no longer a future threat or a bullish promise—it's just reality. The original premise of bitcoin (or crypto in general)—an asset that is censorship-resistant and doesn't answer to any traditional financial institution or government—is fading fast as Wall Street giants (as well as powerful political figures) continue to establish their strong foothold in the digital assets space. During the early years of the digital assets revolution, bitcoin was celebrated as uncorrelated and unapologetically anti-establishment. TradFi asset classes like S&P 500 would rise and fall—bitcoin didn't care. What bitcoin did care about were the flaws in the traditional financial system, which are still here to this day. A major example in BTC’s history that’s not-so-talked about anymore is the 2013 Cyprus banking crisis. The crisis, which occurred due to overexposure of banks to overleveraged local property companies and amid Europe’s debt crisis, saw deposits above 100,000 euros get a substantial haircut. In fact, 47.5% of uninsured deposits were seized. Bitcoin’s response was to move sharply upward to, for the first time in its history, cross the $1,000 threshold. After a prolonged bear market over the collapse of Mt. Gox , the idea of mass adoption grew, with Wall Street's entry into the sector seen as a stamp of validation for bitcoin as it meant more liquidity, mass adoption and price maturity. That changed everything. The price might have matured, as evidenced by waning volatility . But let’s face it—bitcoin is now just another macro-driven risk asset. "Bitcoin, once celebrated for its low correlation to mainstream financial assets, has increasingly exhibited sensitivity to the same variables that drive equity markets over short time frames," said NYDIC Research in a report. In fact, the correlation is now hovering near the higher end of the historical range, according to NYDIG's calculations. "Bitcoin’s correlation with U.S. equities remained elevated through the end of the quarter, closing at 0.48, a level near the higher end of its historical range." Simply put, when there is blood on the street (Wall Street that is), bitcoin bleeds too. When Wall Street sneezes, bitcoin catches a cold. Even bitcoin's “digital gold” moniker is under pressure. NYDIG notes that bitcoin’s correlation to physical gold and the U.S. dollar is near zero. So much for the “hedge” argument—at least for now. Risk asset So why the shift? The answer is simple: to Wall Street, bitcoin is just another risk asset, not digital gold, which is synonymous with "safe haven." Investors are repricing everything from central bank policy whiplash to geopolitical tension—digital assets included. "This persistent correlation strength with U.S. equities can largely be attributed to a series of macroeconomic and geopolitical developments, the tariff turmoil and the rising number of global conflicts, which significantly influenced investor sentiment and asset repricing across markets," said NYDIG. And like it or not, this is here to stay—at least for a short to medium-term. As long as central bank policy, macro, and war-linked red headlines hit the tape, bitcoin will likely move in tandem with equities. "The current correlation regime may persist as long as global risk sentiment, central bank policy, and geopolitical flashpoints remain dominant market narratives," NYDIG's report said. For the maxis and long-term holders, the original vision hasn't changed. Bitcoin's limited supply, borderless access, and decentralized nature remain untouched. Just don't expect them to impact price action just yet. For now, the market sees bitcoin as just another stock ticker. Just balance your trade strategies accordingly.

Last week, the US markets were seen reaching new historical highs almost every day, and there was a very enthusiastic atmosphere in the markets. While asset management companies’ increasing optimism about US stocks is drawing attention, there are warnings that this excitement could lead to overly concentrated positions and cause sharp fluctuations, especially in the event of a negative development. The most important of these risks is Donald Trump’s customs tax review process, which will end on July 9. Next week, markets are expected to have a quieter data calendar, but markets will be closely monitoring the Fed's monetary policy meeting minutes, FOMC members' speeches and Trump's steps regarding tariffs.

Bitcoin is currently holding just above the $108,000 level and bulls are maintaining momentum after a volatile start to July. However, a closer look at on-chain data shows how fragile that position might be. Interestingly, two support levels, $106,738 and $98,566, are now the most important zones for bulls to defend. These levels represent clusters of addresses holding large amounts of Bitcoin, and losing them could trigger a deeper correction. Related Reading: XRP’s Time Is Now, Says Pundit—Don’t Snooze On The ‘Biggest Transfer Of Wealth’ Bitcoin’s Support Clusters Around $106,000 And $98,000 Taking to the social media platform X, crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed to two major support levels based on data showing Bitcoin’s purchase clusters. This data is based on Sentora’s (previously IntoTheBlock) In/Out of the Money Around Price metric among addresses that bought Bitcoin close to the current price. As shown by the metric, the most important current zones of purchase are at $106,738 and $98,566. These two zones are where massive buying activity has occurred in the past few weeks, and they could act as support in case of a Bitcoin price crash. The first zone, between $104,982 and $108,190, contains 1.68 million addresses with a total volume of 1.28 million BTC at an average price of $106,738. Below the first zone, a larger group of 1.71 million addresses holds a greater volume of 1.25 million BTC within the price range of $95,248 to $98,566, with an average price of $98,566. As long as Bitcoin continues to trade above these levels, the ongoing rally could continue to push upward. However, if these pockets of demand are broken with enough selling pressure, the leading cryptocurrency could enter into an uncertain price zone with little buying interest to provide support. Speaking of selling pressure, on-chain data shows a slowing sell pressure among large holders. According to data from on-chain analytics platform Sentora, Bitcoin recorded its fifth straight week of net outflows from centralized exchanges. The past week alone saw more than $920 million worth of BTC moved into self-custody or institutional products, mostly Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Bitcoin Needs To Break Weekly Resistance For New Highs Even with solid demand zones beneath, Bitcoin’s path to new highs is not yet confirmed. Analyst Rekt Capital weighed in with his analysis, noting that Bitcoin is currently facing a strong weekly resistance band just under $109,000. Particularly, Bitcoin is at risk of a lower high structure on the weekly candlestick timeframe chart. Rekt Capital noted that a weekly close above the red horizontal resistance line must be achieved in order for Bitcoin to reclaim a more bullish stance. That resistance, which is currently around $108,890, is acting as a ceiling for Bitcoin’s upward rally. Related Reading: Dogecoin Social Surge: Rising Buzz And Network Use Spark New Interest As such, Bitcoin would need to make a weekly close above $108,890 to position itself for new all-time highs. Unless there is a convincing break of that level, the price action of Bitcoin could be erratic and susceptible to a retracement to $106,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $108,160.

For most retail investors, buying into Bitcoin (BTC) at over $108,000 isn’t practical anymore. The upside might still be there, but getting meaningful returns requires capital that’s out of reach for the average trader. That’s why attention is rapidly shifting toward early-stage tokens like Mutuum Finance (MUTM), currently priced at just $0.03. It’s a strategic entry point for those looking to turn modest capital into something far more significant—just as early Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum investors once did. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is now deep into Phase 5 of its presale, having already raised over $11.7 million from more than 12,700 individual wallets. Over 60% of the tokens allocated for this round have been snapped up. What makes this project stand out is not just its low entry price, but the layered financial utility built into its ecosystem—especially through its mtTokens. One trader who moved $3,500 from Bitcoin (BTC) into Mutuum Finance (MUTM) last month now holds over $5,400 in unrealized gains. That kind of growth, in just weeks, shows why smart capital is now rotating from high-cap legacy coins into more targeted, function-driven DeFi protocols. mtTokens deliver passive yield while expanding liquidity Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has engineered a unique mechanism to support long-term investor gains through mtTokens—interest-bearing tokens issued when users deposit assets into the protocol’s peer-to-contract (P2C) lending pools. These tokens are designed to grow in value automatically as interest accrues. There’s no need to claim rewards or actively reinvest; the mtTokens themselves reflect both the principal and the interest. What separates this system from standard yield platforms is the dual-layered benefit. First, users who deposit stable assets like USDT or top-tier coins like ETH or BTC are issued mtTokens on a 1:1 basis. Over time, these tokens increase in value as lending activity rises. Second, those same mtTokens can be staked in smart contracts to earn a share of the protocol’s revenue, which is used to buy back and distribute MUTM tokens to mtToken stakers. This creates a powerful flywheel effect. More users enter the system to earn yield. That demand drives up borrowing volume, which boosts protocol revenue. The system then recycles that income to reward long-term holders, applying buying pressure to MUTM and incentivizing staking. This structure is what separates utility tokens from hype coins—and why large holders are entering early with confidence. Stablecoin architecture unlocks additional value layers While many projects launch without foundational utility, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is developing a decentralized, crypto-backed stablecoin system. This stablecoin will only be minted when users post approved collateral like ETH, and it will be burned as soon as loans are repaid or liquidated. Only verified issuers will be able to mint the coin, each with a strict cap to prevent excessive risk. The protocol will adjust interest rates dynamically to keep the stablecoin close to its $1 peg. If the price rises above $1, rates will drop. If it falls below, rates will climb. Arbitrage incentives will further reinforce stability, ensuring the asset maintains its target price. The introduction of this stablecoin will not only enhance user functionality but also support broader treasury utility across the platform. Mutuum’s approach offers direct benefits to those who understand the value of structured lending and borrowing. For example, users who deposit $15,000 in DAI will receive mtDAI, which compounds as interest builds over time. If pool utilization drives the APY to around 10%, that user would earn $1,500 over a year without moving their position. And since mtTokens can be staked for extra dividends, yield potential multiplies without added complexity. With over 4 billion MUTM tokens in total supply and a Phase 11 listing price set at $0.06, the upside from today’s $0.03 level is already tangible. Investors entering now double their position value right at the exchange listing. And with real protocol usage on the horizon—including a beta platform release alongside token launch—the stage is set for accelerated growth. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is not aiming to be just another DeFi token—it’s building a complete infrastructure. With CertiK audit backing, a $50,000 bug bounty in place, and Layer-2 integration under development, the foundations are in motion to support serious on-chain activity. When SHIB moved from $0.000001 to $0.00008, most ignored it early. When BNB was $0.10, few thought it was worth the risk. Now, with Bitcoin (BTC) priced out of reach for most, investors are hunting for the next asymmetric bet. At just $0.03, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is shaping up to be that bet.

XRP is trading at $2.27, up nearly 2% in the last 24 hours and more than 3% over the past week. The recent momentum follows heightened speculation from technical analyst Crypto Michael, who highlighted XRP’s long-term consolidation phase. His chart, shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows XRP compressing for seven years inside a symmetrical triangle before breaking out in late 2024—a move that sparked a 700% surge from roughly $0.60 to over $2.00. XRP has been consolidating for 7 months since it pumped 700% after breaking out of the 7-year pennant, which I predicted. It has now reached the end of its healthy consolidation period. The next major move will begin soon and should align with Bitcoin breaking the 8-year line. https://t.co/D4dWE6powa pic.twitter.com/GSnXsghfbW — Crypto Michael (@MichaelXBT) June 15, 2025 Since then, XRP has been range-bound for seven months in what Michael describes as “healthy consolidation.” The chart identifies this post-rally phase as critical, with a white-circled zone indicating that prices are stabilising just above key resistance levels. Michael argues this consolidation phase is nearing completion. Importantly, XRP’s technical stability is unfolding while Bitcoin hovers near its own historic resistance—an 8-year trendline. Michael suggests that Bitcoin’s move above this line could serve as the macro trigger that lifts altcoins, such as XRP, into a fresh leg higher. XRP Technical Signals Hint at Bullish Breakout On the 4-hour chart, the XRP price prediction appears bullish, as XRP has reclaimed the $2.2175 level, now acting as short-term support. Price is also riding along a well-defined ascending trendline from late June, creating a pattern of higher lows. This bullish structure is reinforced by a recent bullish engulfing candle and rising Relative Strength Index (RSI), which now approaches the 60 mark but remains below overbought levels. XRP Price Chart – Source: Tradingview The 50-SMA currently sits at $2.2175 and has been reclaimed, a positive signal for trend continuation. XRP is also reclaiming the mid-range of its prior swing, positioning it well for a breakout above $2.285. Key technical takeaways: XRP/USD trades bullish above 50-SMA and ascending trendline RSI is rising, indicating growing bullish momentum Resistance at $2.285, followed by $2.337 and $2.406 Support levels: $2.2175, $2.146, and $2.080 If XRP holds above $2.2175 and gains traction beyond $2.285, traders could see a push toward the $2.40–$2.47 range. XRP Trade Setup: Breakout Retest in Focus This setup favours breakout traders looking for confirmation and continuation. As XRP approaches $2.285 resistance, volume and candle structure will be key. Entry (Long): $2.27–$2.29 on strong breakout close Targets: $2.337 to $2.406 Stop-Loss: Below $2.21 to manage downside With RSI rising, price above trendline support, and consolidation nearing its end, XRP appears well-positioned for a decisive move—especially if Bitcoin breaks its own resistance in tandem. Bitcoin Hyper Presale Nears $2M as Price Rise Nears Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) , the first Bitcoin-native Layer 2 powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), has raised nearly $2 million in its public presale, with $1,980,292 out of a $2,452,414 target. The token is priced at $0.01215, with the next price tier expected to be announced soon. Designed to merge Bitcoin’s security with Solana’s speed, Bitcoin Hyper enables fast, low-cost smart contracts, dApps, and meme coin creation, all with seamless BTC bridging. The project is audited by Consult and engineered for scalability, trust, and simplicity. The golden cross of meme appeal and real utility has made Bitcoin Hyper a Layer 2 contender to watch in 2025. With staking, a streamlined presale, and a full rollout expected by Q1, $HYPER is gaining serious traction. The post XRP Price Prediction: Is Consolidation Over?

Bitcoin (BTC) is marginally down over the past 24 hours, hovering around the $108,000 mark. The flagship cryptocurrency reached an intraday high of $110,498 but quickly lost momentum after sellers overwhelmed buyers at higher levels. As a result, the price briefly fell below $108,000 before consolidating around current levels. Analysts believe bullish sentiment could return next week and BTC could retest the $110,000-$111,000 levels. Taxing Bitcoin Does Not Make Sense: Miller Value Partners Miller Value Partners' Chief Investment Officer, Bill Miller IV, believes the government has no right to tax Bitcoin because managing ownership rights does not require administrative efforts. Miller, known for his early advocacy of Bitcoin , stated that the flagship cryptocurrency does not require government infrastructure to verify or enforce property rights, unlike traditional assets such as real estate. Miller stated during a podcast, “For them to reach their hand in there doesn’t make a ton of sense. When you buy or sell a house, all that recordation tax, all those taxes go toward keeping track of who owns what. The reality is that if you think about why you pay taxes in society, it is to enforce property rights.” He added, “The government didn’t create Bitcoin, so that is an important point to keep in mind. The blockchain does that property automation for itself, right?” Miller also believes traditional asset managers face hurdles when buying Bitcoin due to the uncertainty around taxation. “Even as fund managers, we still have huge impediments to actually buying it because taxation rules around bad income if we buy ETFs and sell them at the wrong time, so that all needs to be worked out.” New Bitcoin Treasury Firms Could Struggle A crypto analyst has sounded an alarm over the Bitcoin treasury strategy, stating that newer firms could face significant challenges. The analysts stated that the strategy may not have the longevity many expect, warning that easy upside may already be behind new companies that have recently pivoted towards a Bitcoin treasury. The analyst stated, “My instinct is that the Bitcoin treasury strategy has a far shorter lifespan than most expect. For many new entrants, it could already be over.” According to the analyst, it's already an uphill battle for new Bitcoin treasury companies who are struggling to establish themselves as investors prefer early adopters. “Nobody wants the 50th Treasury company. I think we’re already close to the ‘show me’ phase, where it will be increasingly difficult for random company X to sustain a premium and get off the ground without a serious niche.” Analysts believe that some companies are employing a Bitcoin treasury strategy to generate a quick profit without fully understanding its long-term implications or the purpose behind it. “Many of the folks raising just see easy money and have no idea what they’re doing. I think it’ll take them some time to figure out. The weak ones might be acquired at a discount by the strong ones, and the trend could still have a few more legs in it.” Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis Bitcoin (BTC) price action has remained subdued over the holiday weekend. The flagship cryptocurrency encountered considerable volatility over the week, dropping to a low of $105,328 on Tuesday. The price recovered on Wednesday to reclaim $108,000 and briefly crossed $110,000 on Thursday before losing momentum. BTC’s current range extends from $98,000 to $110,000. Analysts believe bullish sentiment could return once markets open, potentially pushing the price to a new all-time high. BTC started the previous week on a bullish note, rising over 4% to reclaim $105,000 and settle at $105,443. The price continued to push higher on Tuesday, crossing $106,000 and settling at $106,137. Buyers retained control on Wednesday as BTC crossed $107,000 and settled at $107,397. Despite the positive sentiment, it lost momentum on Thursday, registering a marginal decline below $107,000 to settle at $106,980. BTC recovered over the weekend, registering marginal increases on Friday and Saturday to reclaim $107,000 and settle at $107,339. Bullish sentiment intensified on Sunday as the price rose almost 1% to cross $108,000 and settle at $108,350. Source: TradingView Despite the positive momentum, BTC dropped over 1% on Monday, slipping below $108,000 and settling at $107,167. Sellers retained control on Tuesday as the price fell 1.33% to $105,742. Bullish sentiment returned on Wednesday as BTC rallied, rising nearly 3% to cross $108,000 and settle at $108,845. Buyers retained control on Thursday as the flagship cryptocurrency reached an intraday high of $110,583 before settling at $109,650, ultimately registering a 0.74% rise. BTC lost momentum on Friday as sellers overwhelmed buyers. As a result, the price fell 1.42% to $108,097. BTC registered a marginal increase on Saturday but is back in the red during the ongoing session, trading around $108,145 as sellers look to drive the price below $108,000.

Bitcoin advocate and author Jason Williams has sparked conversation within the XRP community after making a provocative statement on social media. On Thursday, Williams tweeted that XRP is “going to 20,000 per coin,” a comment that, at first glance, appeared to endorse the notion of an extraordinary price surge. However, his follow-up responses made it clear that the post was intended to be sarcastic. XRP is going to 20k a coin. — Jason Ai. Williams (@GoingParabolic) July 3, 2025 The tweet was a direct commentary on recent claims by some XRP supporters suggesting that the token could experience exponential growth, with projections reaching as high as $20,000 . While the claim might seem bullish, Williams used it to criticize what he sees as speculative and exaggerated price predictions. Clarifying the “20,000” Comment Following his initial post, Williams responded to skepticism in the comments by sharing an image that showed 20,000 Lebanese pounds converting to approximately $0.22. His caption read, “It will happen,” indicating that his earlier statement was not a price prediction in USD. Rather, he was suggesting that XRP’s value could drop dramatically, drawing a comparison to a currency that has undergone significant devaluation. This sarcastic tone was a clear attempt to highlight what he considers the unrealistic nature of recent bullish projections made by certain XRP proponents. Instead of predicting a price surge, Williams implied the opposite, that XRP might lose value, not gain it. The tweet appeared to respond directly to a theory that has recently resurfaced within the XRP community. Originally proposed in 2022 by game developer Chad Steingraber, the theory suggests that XRP could reach $20,000 per unit under a scenario of massive institutional adoption. According to Steingraber, if major financial institutions begin to use XRP for global transactions, and if private ledgers absorb much of the token’s supply, a supply shock could occur. This, combined with increased demand from wealthy investors and hedge funds, could, in theory, cause the token’s price to rise dramatically. He also claims that public access to XRP would decline to below 100 million tokens, leading to panic buying. Steingraber frames today’s retail market as only the early stage of XRP’s future use as the core of a new global financial infrastructure. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Skepticism Around the Valuation Critics, including Williams, challenge the plausibility of such projections. A $20,000 price point would require an XRP market capitalization that exceeds the total value of the current global financial system. With XRP’s circulating supply of over 50 billion tokens, a price of $20,000 would translate into a market cap in the hundreds of trillions or more, a figure that is widely regarded as economically unfeasible. While some XRP advocates argue that market capitalization is not the best indicator of value and may not apply to XRP’s unique use case, there remains no widely accepted financial model that supports such extreme valuations. Jason Williams’s tweet serves as a direct critique of what he views as unrealistic optimism regarding XRP’s future value. While some supporters continue to speculate about massive institutional adoption and future price spikes, Williams’s sarcastic commentary underscores the importance of grounding such discussions in economic reality. The debate reveals the growing divide between XRP’s most enthusiastic supporters and those who urge caution and critical analysis.

TL;DR Ripple’s price actions are a big prediction topic within the cryptocurrency community, with analysts and believers rushing to offer their insights and forecasts. However, we decided to take a different approach this time and asked four of the biggest AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, and Gemini) about their take on the matter. 2025 Price Targets All four AI solutions seemed very coherent about XRP’s price potential this year, as Perplexity explained it: “Ripple’s (XRP) price in 2025 is broadly expected to rise significantly from current levels, with expert forecasts varying but generally bullish.” Although Ripple’s cross-border token has stalled in the past few months and is actually slightly in the red since the start of the year, all AIs had similar conclusions about its price moves until the end of the year. ChatGPT laid out three potential scenarios, with the conservative one being at $3.4, which would match the asset’s all-time (and yearly) high. The optimistic is set at $5-$6, and the “aggressive forecasts” put the token at $10-$15 by the end of the year. Google’s Gemini had similar ideas in mind, saying that “a realistic high could be in the $5-$10 range.” Perplexity also joined the $5-$10 club, which could be reached under “favorable conditions” (more on that later). Grok was slightly more specific and was the only one that said XRP can finish the year lower than its current price tag. It noted that a “realistic price range” for the asset this year is somewhere between $1.8 and $5.81. Although that’s a pretty wide range, it concluded that the most likely peak will come somewhere between $3 and $4.5. The Favorable Conditions When it came down to outlining the factors that could impact XRP’s price moves this year, the AIs were once again aligned in their answers. First, they mentioned regulatory clarity and the official conclusion of the lawsuit against the SEC. Although Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated in March that the case had been resolved and there had been several developments on the matter, the judge overseeing the case has yet to agree fully . Second, the AIs brought up institutional adoption and bullish partnerships, such as those with Santander, SBI Holdings, and others. A spot XRP ETF will also play a significant role in the asset’s price trajectory this year, if approved, said the chatbots. According to ETF experts, the current odds stand at nearly 100%. Lastly, the AI solutions highlighted the overall crypto market trends: “Bitcoin’s post-halving performance and a pro-crypto U.S. administration under President Trump could fuel bullish sentiment across the crypto market, benefiting XRP,” – answered Grok, which was similar to what the others had to say. Despite these bullish predictions for 2025, all four chatbots clarified that these are just that – speculative forecasts that might or might not come to fruition. Investors should do their own research before allocating funds to any cryptocurrency (or other asset, for that matter).

A 72-year-old man is pushing for reimbursement from Wells Fargo after falling for a scam hitting bank account holders across the country. According to ABC 7 News, Tracy Jeffords received a text supposedly from the toll fees payment platform FasTrak after a journey to San Francisco. Convinced the text was genuine, the Lake County, California resident entered his debit card details to complete the payment. But a day later, Jeffords received an actual letter from FasTrak saying he owed the toll fees payment platform money. It was then that Jeffords checked his bank account only to find that more than $3,300 was missing after a purchase on eBay was made using his debit card information, according to the report. ABC 7 News cites Jeffords saying, “It made me feel terrible. And the thing is, it’s going to happen to somebody else.” The Lake County resident disputed the charge with Wells Fargo but the trillion-dollar bank has so far refused to reimburse. His attempt to dispute the charge with eBay has also proven unsuccessful. According to an expert contacted by ABC 7 News, getting reimbursed for fraudulent debit card purchases is harder than for those made using a credit card. Jeffords has nonetheless vowed to fight on to get his money back, according to the report. He tells ABC 7 News, “It’d be everything to get it back, because it’s a lot for me. You know, I don’t work.” Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Don't Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.
