The stablecoin market could potentially balloon nearly tenfold within a few years, according to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Appearing on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday, Garlinghouse highlighted the sector’s momentum and said that many expect stablecoins to reach a combined market capitalization of $1 trillion to $2 trillion, up from around $260 billion today. The exec added that the current growth rate is “profound,” while explaining that Ripple’s late entry into the stablecoin sector was a result of using stablecoins in its institutional payment flows prior to launching its own USD-backed asset. BNY Mellon Backs Ripple’s RLUSD Garlinghouse’s comments came as Ripple announced that the Bank of New York Mellon will now handle the USD cash and Treasury bills that back its RLUSD stablecoin. Meanwhile, the partnership, which was disclosed on Wednesday, secures RLUSD a reputable banking partner as it scales further. As one of the largest custody banks in the US, BNY Mellon will safeguard and manage the liquidity of the reserves backing every RLUSD issued. It has been tasked with ensuring that holders can redeem the stablecoin for USD on a 1-to-1 basis under standards similar to money-market fund controls. BNY’s support for RLUSD aligns with its gradual expansion into crypto services since establishing a digital asset unit in 2021 and welcoming institutional crypto clients in 2022. Ripple’s RLUSD, which launched in December 2024 on Ethereum and the XRP Ledger, has grown rapidly within the $260 billion stablecoin market. RLUSD is designed to align with upcoming bipartisan legislation in the US, the GENIUS Act, which will introduce federal standards for reserve disclosures and backing. The stablecoin industry continues to attract interest from major corporations like Amazon and Walmart, alongside top-tier banks exploring entry into this expanding ecosystem. J.P. Morgan Throws Cold Water on Hype Apart from Ripple’s outlook, Standard Chartered anticipates the stablecoin sector could expand to $2 trillion by 2028, while Bernstein expects supply to climb toward $4 trillion within ten years. J.P. Morgan, however, remains skeptical. The investment banking behemoth estimated growth to just $500 billion by 2028, and argued that trillion-dollar expectations are premature amid the lack of widespread use of stablecoins.

Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has made a new announcement regarding the traditional burn of its native token, Binance Coin (BNB). According to Binance's statement, 1,595,599.78 BNB were burned in the 32nd burn today. The approximate market value of these BNBs is reported to be around $1.024 billion. After the burn, the total supply of BNB reached 139,289,513.94. Binance made the following statement in its statement: BNB Chain has completed its 32nd BNB burn and the second quarterly burn of 2025. This burn is part of a commitment to remove 100 million BNB (half of its total supply) from circulation through the burn when BNB is released, ultimately leaving only 100 million BNB in circulation. This commitment is automatically fulfilled every three months. The burn amount is adjusted based on the price of BNB and the number of blocks produced on BSC during a quarter, providing transparency and predictability. As millions of BNB are removed from circulation with each burn, this situation is expected to have a positive impact on the BNB price and contribute to preventing increases in the BNB price. BNB continues to trade at $672.7 at the time of writing. *This is not investment advice. Continue Reading: Binance Burns $1 Billion Amid Market Rising! Will Binance Coin (BNB) Rise Further?
BTCC, one of the world’s longest-operating cryptocurrency exchanges, has broadened its tokenized futures lineup with the addition of new markets for Pop Mart International Group Ltd.

The integration equips traders with a comprehensive suite of tools, including support for a wide array of technical indicators. Notable features include the ability to set Take Profit and Stop Loss levels directly on charts, multi-chart viewing (split screen), and the combination of indicators such as Fibonacci retracement levels with Bollinger Bands.

Indices: Such as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones. “As one of the first crypto platforms to offer tokenized futures, we were quick to identify the potential for blockchain technology to transform access to traditional markets. The expansion of tokenized assets BTCC now supports gives crypto natives access to diverse markets through a single platform,” said Alex Hung, Head of Operations at BTCC. The growing adoption of tokenized futures reflects increasing demand for exposure to traditional financial instruments within the crypto ecosystem. BTCC’s offering enables users to engage in leveraged trading of conventional assets while transacting entirely in cryptocurrency. The exchange plans to continue expanding its tokenized futures catalog throughout 2025, regularly adding new assets to meet evolving market demand.

The post PENGU Price Skyrockets 30% After SEC Acknowledges Spot ETF Filing appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News PENGU, the memecoin inspired by Pudgy Penguins, is making headlines after the U.S. SEC acknowledged a spot ETF filing by Canary. The news sent the Solana-based token soaring nearly 30%, hitting its 6-month high. It was also the top-performing crypto in the Top 100 today on Coingecko. ETF Buzz Lifts PENGU It is currently trading at $0.01956, up 33% in the last 24 hours. Its market cap has surged past $1.2 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $700 million. $PENGU is the top-performing coin today… What did I tell you? Don't sleep on it! https://t.co/4TBsS4eCOR pic.twitter.com/nxFzTgC1so — Ali (@ali_charts) July 10, 2025 The proposed ETF will invest mostly in PENGU tokens (80–95%) and a smaller portion in Pudgy Penguins NFTs (5–15%). The filing was made by Cboe BZX Exchange after Canary submitted its initial application in March. Cboe updated the proposal twice, most recently on July 8. The SEC is now inviting public comments on the proposal. PENGU has seen strong price jumps previously, after ETF-related news. Analysts are also bullish, pointing to a cup-and-handle pattern on the chart, which is a classic signal of continued upward momentum. Analysts Bullish on PENGU One of the analyst notes PENGU might be one of the best bets right now, not just as a meme coin, but also as a way to invest in the growing AbstractChain ecosystem. Analyst Mac notes that the token has broken out of its range highs. There is minimal resistance until $0.0027, suggesting further upside potential in the near term for new investors. unironically think $PENGU may be one of the cleanest bets you can make on a burgeoning ecosystem [ @AbstractChain ] + memecoin index play pic.twitter.com/NuMwdZsIKh — Ansem (@blknoiz06) July 10, 2025 Analyst Ali Martinez recently shared that PENGU is showing strong bullish signs. He calls its current move a “textbook retest” and predicts the token could hit $0.060 by August. If the ETF gets approved, the price could go even higher. This comes as the memecoin market sees a surge in trading volume. Investor confidence is rising again as PENGU’s funding rate has also turned positive. Whales have also increased their holdings, which shows renewed interest. Looking Ahead to 2025 The token is holding strong above key moving averages, and with RSI above 60 and support forming near $0.015, signs point to a continued bullish trend, if trading volume rises. The price is expected to climb 15–20%, possibly reaching $0.0185 to $0.0192 by the end of July. If momentum builds further, the next target is $0.0225. Analysts believe that PENGU is gearing up for another rally in 2025 and may stay strong through the year.
The Reserve Bank of Australia is advancing a pilot to test digital money and tokenized settlements, with regulatory relief granted to participants to enable testing beyond current regulatory frameworks. Australia’s central bank, in partnership with the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre, has unveiled the next phase of Project Acacia, selecting 24 use cases to test how digital money and tokenized settlement models could reshape wholesale financial markets. Announced on July 10, this stage will involve 19 pilot use cases using real assets and transactions, along with five proofs-of-concept using simulated data. Specifically, the trials will examine how stablecoins, tokenized bank deposits, and a pilot wholesale CBDC could be used for settling various asset classes, including fixed income, private markets, trade receivables, and carbon credits. “The use cases selected in this project will help us to better understand how innovations in central bank and private digital money, alongside payments infrastructure, might help to uplift the functioning of wholesale financial markets in Australia,” said Brad Jones, Assistant Governor (Financial System) at the RBA.

Participants include a mix of fintech startups and major financial institutions, such as ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, and Westpac. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has granted regulatory relief to allow pilot participants to conduct transactions that may not yet fall under existing frameworks. This second phase of the project will run for six months, with findings to be published in the first quarter of 2026. Officials say the results will inform how public and private sector innovations could enhance the efficiency and resilience of Australia ’s financial markets. For context, Project Acacia was launched in late 2024 to explore how emerging forms of digital money and tokenized assets can modernize Australia’s wholesale financial infrastructure. It also aligns with the federal government’s broader digital asset strategy, outlined in a March 2025 policy statement aiming to foster innovation in Australia’s financial system.

The post Bitcoin ETFs Hit $50B Milestone as Institutional Inflows Surge appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to soar , and spot Bitcoin ETFs are leading the charge. Just 18 months after their launch in January 2024, these investment products have now attracted over $50 billion in net inflows. The strong demand reflects growing confidence from big-money players, and the rally shows no signs of slowing down. $218M Inflows in a Day On July 9 alone, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $218 million in net inflows, marking the fifth straight day of gains. According to SoSoValue data , nearly $1.52 billion has poured into these funds over the past five trading days. This follows a brief setback at the start of the month, when outflows hit $342 million on July 1. Since then, investor appetite has surged, with daily inflows peaking at $601.94 million on July 3. BlackRock Leads the Pack With Over 700K BTC BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) remains the dominant player, holding over 700,000 BTC, more than 55% of all Bitcoin held in U.S. spot ETFs. The fund has attracted $53 billion in net inflows, far ahead of Fidelity’s FBTC, which holds $12.29 billion. In contrast, Grayscale’s GBTC continues to see outflows, losing $23.34 billion since its conversion. IBIT has even become BlackRock’s third-largest revenue-generating ETF, surpassing some of its long-standing traditional products, according to NovaDius Wealth Management’s Nate Geraci. The nearly $75bil iShares Bitcoin ETF has only one month of outflows since Jan 2024 launch… Now generates more fee revenue for BlackRock than its largest ETF, the iShares S&P 500 ETF. Simply a machine. I offer a few thoughts here. via @isabelletanlee https://t.co/uDv6eiVb4b pic.twitter.com/pPwMQbfplW — Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) July 3, 2025 Altcoin ETFs May Be Next According to Bloomberg analysts, there’s a 95% chance that the SEC will approve spot ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin this year. A broader crypto index ETF could also be approved soon, offering more access to altcoins for traditional investors. Meanwhile, apart from Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum also saw momentum, with its ETFs pulling in over $211 million in a single day, pushing their total net inflows to nearly $5 billion. These flows suggest a broader appetite for crypto exposure among traditional investors. .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none; } Also Read : Ethereum ETF Inflows Cross $320M, Is a Major ETH Price Rally Ahead? , Why Are Institutions Investing? Crypto analyst Rachael Lucas says this is not your typical retail hype cycle. Instead, it’s large-scale investors, asset managers, corporate treasuries, and wealth platforms moving in. The consistency of inflows across recent months (April, May, June) supports the view that Bitcoin is being taken seriously as a long-term investment. Lucas says global tensions and Trump’s push for rate cuts are making Bitcoin more attractive. According to him, the timing is different now because ETFs make it easier and safer to invest, just like buying stocks. Plus, the delay in Trump’s tariffs is also helping crypto prices rise. Bitcoin Enters Corporate Treasuries Beyond ETFs, companies are also jumping in. Japan’s Metaplanet added $237 million in BTC, while other firms in France and the UK made multi-million-dollar purchases. Tokyo-listed Remixpoint raised $215 million to buy 3,000 BTC. Meanwhile, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $112,000 , and Ether surged 6.6% to $2,778, with analysts eyeing a breakout past $3,000. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; margin: 0; display: inline-block; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

Analyst XRPunkie has sparked a wave of renewed optimism in the XRP community with a bold declaration that a “ God candle” is imminent , one that could send XRP skyrocketing to $50. A prominent chart analyst recently identified a rare and powerful technical pattern on XRP’s monthly chart, indicating a potential massive price surge. Technical Formation: Pennant Breakout Could Trigger Parabolic Move XRPunkie’s prediction is rooted in months of bullish technical structure. After successfully breaking out of a long-term descending wedge pattern, XRP in late 2024 surged from below $0.60 to a recent high above $3.00 before consolidating earlier this year. The current consolidation, XRPunkie notes, is forming a bullish pennant, a classic continuation pattern that often precedes significant upward movement. XRP is positioning for a potential major breakout, backed by key support from its 21-period EMA and 33-period SMA. If this pattern resolves to the upside, as XRPunkie expects, the result could be a towering green monthly candle—what he calls the “God candle”—that initiates the next leg of a full-scale rally. $XRP God Candle incoming soon. I hope you are ready. pic.twitter.com/zJRMK1nt0R — XRPunkie (@Shawnmark7899) July 9, 2025 Price Targets and Fibonacci Guidance XRPunkie outlines a clear roadmap based on Fibonacci extension levels, which serve as potential resistance zones and profit-taking points. His initial targets include the 1.618 extension at $6.45, followed by $8.90 and $13.42 at the 1.786 and 2.0 extensions, respectively. These levels, he suggests, align with previous cycles and represent critical thresholds on the path to a much larger move. Beyond these calculated targets, XRPunkie sees the possibility of a more dramatic rise to $50 if market conditions align and momentum is sustained. While the $50 level may appear ambitious, he emphasizes that these early Fibonacci zones offer critical checkpoints. Should they be breached with high volume and bullish sentiment, the doors could open for an extraordinary move. Market Context and Fundamentals Align XRP’s current technical posture is reinforced by positive developments within the broader ecosystem. Momentum indicators such as the Guppy Multiple Moving Averages have turned bullish on the daily chart, confirming strength among short-term traders. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 At the same time, Ripple’s ongoing advancements, including its RLUSD stablecoin, progress toward U.S. banking integration, and increased tokenization activity on the XRP Ledger—are adding fundamental support to the bullish thesis. Institutional interest is also growing, with speculation surrounding potential XRP ETF filings and renewed optimism following the resolution of key regulatory challenges. Can XRP Hit $50? While a move to the $6–$13 range seems attainable within a breakout scenario, a $50 price point would require an extraordinary surge in XRP’s value, driven by widespread adoption, increased global liquidity, and clearer regulations. Still, XRPunkie isn’t alone in holding such a view. Other respected analysts, including those following Elliot Wave Theory, have forecast similar upside potential under optimal conditions. Whether XRP merely reaches the $6–$13 range or explodes toward $50, the coming weeks could be pivotal. As the market watches closely for confirmation, all eyes are on XRP’s next candle—one that might just make crypto history.

The artificial intelligence landscape just witnessed a significant shake-up with Elon Musk’s xAI officially launching its latest flagship AI model , Grok 4 . This powerful iteration arrives alongside a premium, eye-watering $300 monthly subscription plan, aptly named SuperGrok Heavy. This audacious move positions xAI directly against established giants like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, signaling a new era of intense competition in the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence. For anyone tracking the intersection of cutting-edge technology and digital innovation, understanding these shifts is crucial as AI’s influence continues to expand across all sectors, potentially impacting everything from financial markets to daily digital interactions. What is Grok 4 and How Does it Stack Up? Grok 4 represents xAI’s ambitious answer to the leading generative AI models currently dominating the market. Designed to be a versatile and powerful tool, Grok can analyze images, respond to complex questions, and engage in conversational interactions. Its integration into Musk’s social network, X (formerly Twitter), has been deepening in recent months, making Grok’s capabilities and, at times, its misbehavior, visible to millions of users globally. The expectations surrounding Grok 4 are exceptionally high, particularly as it prepares to contend with OpenAI’s forthcoming GPT-5, anticipated to launch later this summer. Elon Musk himself has touted Grok 4’s academic prowess, stating during a recent livestream, “With respect to academic questions, Grok 4 is better than PhD level in every subject, no exceptions.” While acknowledging that it may occasionally lack common sense and has yet to invent new technologies or discover new physics, Musk optimistically believes these are merely “a matter of time.” The launch includes two primary models: Grok 4 and Grok 4 Heavy, with the latter being a “multi-agent version” promising increased performance and advanced capabilities. The Bold Price Tag: Exploring SuperGrok Heavy One of the most striking announcements accompanying the launch of Grok 4 is the introduction of xAI’s most expensive AI subscription plan to date: the $300-per-month SuperGrok Heavy. This premium tier is designed for early adopters and power users, offering an early preview to Grok 4 Heavy and exclusive access to upcoming features. This pricing strategy places xAI ’s offering at the top end of the market, surpassing the ultra-premium tiers offered by competitors such as OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. The SuperGrok Heavy subscription aims to provide an exclusive gateway to xAI’s future innovations. Subscribers to this plan are promised early access to new products that xAI plans to roll out in the coming months, including an AI model focused on coding expected in August, a multi-modal agent in September, and a video generation model slated for October. This tiered approach is a clear indication of xAI’s intent to monetize its advanced AI capabilities aggressively and attract a dedicated user base willing to invest significantly in cutting-edge AI tools. Navigating Challenges: Elon Musk ‘s AI Vision Amidst Controversy The launch of Grok 4 unfolds amidst a tumultuous period for Elon Musk ’s various ventures, particularly his social media platform, X, and his AI company, xAI. Just days before the Grok 4 unveiling, Linda Yaccarino stepped down from her role as CEO of X after approximately two years with the company, leaving her successor yet to be announced. This departure followed closely on the heels of a significant controversy involving Grok itself. An automated X account linked to Grok responded to users with antisemitic remarks, criticizing Hollywood’s “Jewish executives” and praising Hitler. This incident forced xAI to temporarily limit Grok’s account and delete the offensive posts. In the aftermath, xAI reportedly removed a section from Grok’s public system prompt that had instructed the AI chatbot not to shy away from making “politically incorrect” claims. Despite the gravity of these incidents, Musk and xAI’s leadership largely sidestepped discussing them during the Grok 4 launch event, choosing instead to focus almost exclusively on the new model’s performance and advanced capabilities. This approach highlights the challenge xAI faces in pitching Grok to businesses as a serious contender against established and more stable rivals like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, especially when grappling with public trust and ethical concerns. Benchmarking Brilliance: The Performance of the New AI Model Despite the recent controversies, xAI has presented compelling data regarding Grok 4 ’s performance, particularly on challenging benchmarks designed to test advanced AI capabilities. The company claims that Grok 4 demonstrates “frontier-level performance” across several critical assessments. One notable benchmark is Humanity’s Last Exam, a rigorous test that evaluates an AI’s ability to answer thousands of crowdsourced questions spanning subjects like mathematics, humanities, and natural science. According to xAI, Grok 4 scored 25.4% on this exam without the aid of external “tools,” outperforming Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, which achieved 21.6%, and OpenAI’s o3 (high), which scored 21%. The performance gap widened even further with Grok 4 Heavy, the multi-agent version, which, when utilizing “tools,” achieved an impressive score of 44.4%. This significantly surpassed Gemini 2.5 Pro with tools, which scored 26.9%. Furthermore, the nonprofit Arc Prize reported that Grok achieved a new state-of-the-art score on its ARC-AGI-2 test. This difficult benchmark involves puzzle-like problems where an AI must identify complex visual patterns. Grok scored 16.2%, nearly double the score of the next best commercial AI model , Claude Opus 4. These benchmark results, if independently verified, position Grok 4 as a formidable player in the high-stakes AI development race, showcasing its potential for advanced problem-solving and reasoning. xAI ‘s Strategic Play: Enterprise Ambitions and Future Models Beyond the impressive benchmark scores and the high-priced subscription, xAI is clearly setting its sights on the enterprise sector. The company is actively releasing Grok 4 through its API, a strategic move aimed at encouraging developers to integrate and build applications utilizing the new model. While xAI’s enterprise division is still nascent, having been established only two months prior to this launch, the company has ambitious plans to collaborate with hyperscalers. The goal is to make Grok widely available through major cloud platforms, broadening its reach and accessibility for businesses looking to leverage advanced AI. This strategy is crucial for xAI to move beyond individual users and establish itself as a serious contender in the B2B AI market, where reliability, scalability, and ethical considerations are paramount. The roadmap for future products, including a dedicated AI coding model in August, a multi-modal agent in September, and a video generation model in October, underscores xAI’s commitment to building a comprehensive suite of AI tools. However, the ultimate success of this enterprise push will hinge on whether businesses are prepared to adopt Grok, acknowledging its frontier-level performance while also navigating the public relations challenges and potential ethical concerns that have recently surfaced. Conclusion: The Ambitious Path Ahead for Grok 4 The launch of Grok 4 and the SuperGrok Heavy subscription marks a pivotal moment for Elon Musk ’s xAI . The company has introduced an AI model that, on paper, boasts impressive benchmark performances, outshining rivals in specific, challenging tests. This technical prowess, combined with an aggressive premium pricing strategy, signals xAI’s serious intent to carve out a significant share of the rapidly expanding AI market. However, the path forward is not without its considerable hurdles. The recent controversies surrounding Grok’s behavior and the departure of X’s CEO cast a shadow over an otherwise technologically significant announcement. For businesses and developers, the decision to adopt Grok will likely weigh its advanced capabilities against the public perception and ethical considerations that have recently come to light. As the AI arms race intensifies, xAI’s ability to build trust, maintain consistent performance, and effectively address its public image will be just as critical as its technical innovation. The coming months will reveal whether Grok 4 can truly live up to its ambitious claims and establish itself as a dominant force in the global AI landscape.
