The post Charles Hoskinson Announces Midnight Airdrop for XRP Holders appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has unveiled a new vision for deeper collaboration between Cardano and XRP. The key to this partnership is Midnight, Cardano’s privacy-focused sidechain, which could soon serve as the DeFi engine for XRP. Unlocking DeFi Without Leaving XRPL Hoskinson explained during a recent AMA that Midnight is designed to let XRP users tap into DeFi features like staking, lending, and liquidity pools, without having to move their tokens off the XRP Ledger. Since XRP doesn’t support smart contracts, this sidechain integration could offer the ecosystem a new layer of utility while allowing users to keep their assets secure on-chain. Midnight uses zero-knowledge cryptography to allow confidential smart contracts. This means users can interact with DeFi apps while keeping their financial data private. It’s a powerful upgrade that could significantly enhance what XRP holders can do with their tokens. From Wallets to Stablecoins The collaboration doesn’t stop with Midnight. Hoskinson confirmed that Cardano’s Lace Wallet will soon support XRP, allowing holders to manage multiple assets under one interface. There are also ongoing discussions to integrate Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin into the Cardano ecosystem, providing a USD-pegged liquidity option for DeFi platforms operating on Midnight. .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 : Midnight Airdrop Alert: Here’s How to Claim Your Free NIGHT Tokens , Hoskinson revealed that he has spoken with Ripple executives, including CTO David Schwartz and CEO Brad Garlinghouse, to ensure smooth integration between Midnight and the XRP Ledger. The goal is to integrate Cardano’s advanced smart contract capabilities with XRP’s robust liquidity and cross-border capabilities. Airdrop Campaign Targets XRP Community To spark interest and user activity, Cardano has launched two airdrop campaigns: the Midnight Drop and Glacier Drop. XRP holders with at least $100 worth of XRP as of June 11, 2025, are eligible to claim a portion of the 1.2 billion NIGHT tokens, the governance token for Midnight. Midnight is already live on testnet, and its mainnet launch is expected later this year. Once live, it will support interactions across multiple chains, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and now XRPL, strengthening Cardano’s multi-chain ambitions. .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!

A tweet from Abs, host of the Good Morning Crypto show, revealed that 5.5 billion XRP was suddenly withdrawn from the cryptocurrency exchange Upbit. The tweet featured an image from CryptoQuant, highlighting a sharp drop in Upbit’s XRP exchange reserves. This unexpected change in reserves led to widespread speculation within the cryptocurrency community. The graph showed a consistent XRP reserve balance of around 6 billion XRP on Upbit over several months, followed by a sudden and steep plunge to approximately 1 billion XRP. This dramatic change triggered questions about whether this was a sign of large-scale accumulation by institutional players or a technical issue. BREAKING: 5.5 BILLION $XRP WAS JUST DRAINED FROM UPBIT EXCHANGE! WHAT IS HAPPENEING HERE? Comment Below & Follow For More!! pic.twitter.com/ir0ZoY4bzs — Good Morning Crypto (@AbsGMCrypto) June 24, 2025 Community Responses Raise Speculation and Skepticism The tweet drew immediate responses from various users on the X platform. Jason Thorpe questioned whether the massive withdrawal could be linked to banks and financial institutions accumulating XRP. His comment implied the possibility that large financial entities might be preparing for future use cases involving XRP. Another user, TxBorn83, pointed out that the beauty of blockchain technology allows anyone to verify such claims directly through wallet addresses. His response suggested that the crypto community should rely on transparent blockchain data to confirm or dismiss such events rather than depend solely on social media posts. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 However, not everyone was convinced of the legitimacy of the reserve drain. DMichael_XRP responded by calling the event an “API glitch” and criticized the post, suggesting that it was misinformation driven by technical reporting errors rather than actual fund movement. Times Tabloid Launches Independent Verification In response to the attention generated by the tweet, Times Tabloid conducted an independent investigation into the Upbit XRP wallets. Data from XRP scan showed that several Upbit-linked wallets still held substantial amounts of XRP, including one wallet containing over 1 billion XRP and multiple others holding 500 million XRP each. This wallet data suggests that Upbit continues to maintain significant XRP reserves despite what the CryptoQuant chart displays. The evidence from Times Tabloid’s wallet tracking raises questions about the accuracy of the exchange reserve metric reported by CryptoQuant . It indicates that the sudden drop on the chart may not represent an actual movement of funds but could be due to a technical discrepancy in data reporting. Unresolved Questions Remain The sudden disappearance of 5.5 billion XRP from Upbit’s exchange reserves, as shown in the CryptoQuant chart, remains a mystery at the time of reporting. While some in the community speculate that this could be a sign of institutional accumulation, others firmly believe it is a simple reporting error or API malfunction. The Times Tabloid investigation into Upbit’s wallet balances provides evidence that the exchange still holds a huge amount of XRP across multiple wallets. This significantly challenges the narrative that the exchange was drained of billions of XRP. However, without an official statement from Upbit or CryptoQuant, it is unclear whether this anomaly was due to technical issues or an intentional, large-scale withdrawal.

Cryptocurrencies extended this week’s rally into Wednesday as Bitcoin broke $105,000 to press time $106,519. While altcoins display stability after rebounding from weekend lows, Arbitrum protocol is in the spotlight after generating $1.42 million in revenue within the last seven days. EntropyAdvisor’s dune dashboard reveals these stats, showing a 23% surge from the previous week. Source: Entropyadvisors The impressive earnings place ARB’s blockchain among the economically viable and active Ethereum L2 ecosystems. This article evaluates how real-world asset (RAW) trends drive Arbitrum’s growth. RAW activity on Arbitrum hits ATHs The network has seen impressive performance over the past week, with its RWA sector hitting new all-time highs above $300 million. RWA protocols bridge decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradiFi). They allow individuals to access tokenized versions of real-world assets like bonds, invoices, and real estate on dApps. Economists believe the tokenization sector will be a $16 trillion market by 2030, while others expect tremendous growth to $30 trillion in the next five years. In that context, Arbitrum’s attracting $300 million into this industry demonstrates an increasing appetite among builders and investors to onboard real-world use cases into blockchain systems. Moreover, the milestone confirms Arbitrum’s capability to support low-fee, scalable RWA applications. Furthermore, the impressive RWA adoption reflects magnified investor trust in L2 platforms that offer regulated, yield-bearing, and scalable on-chain financial instruments. The soaring RWA activity possibly fueled on-chain volumes and transaction fees, boosting ARB’s protocol revenue. Ecosystem players propel Arbitrum’s boom Various protocols contributed to Arbitrum’s revenue spike in the past few sessions, highlighting the expanding Arbitrum DeFi landscape. GMX, Ostium Labs, and Gains Network led the charge, earning $550K, $225K, and $120K, respectively. Pendle and Uniswap followed with $85K and $82K. According to Web3 enthusiast Isaac Bassey: These numbers reflect not only strong user activity but also the increasing sophistication of Arbitrum’s ecosystem, which is rapidly evolving with innovative protocols and scaling solutions. The flourishing ecosystem protocols aren’t just facilitating on-chain transactions but also building a revolutionary financial infrastructure. ARB price outlook Arbitrum’s native token exhibited a bullish structure on its daily chart, driven by broad-based recoveries and optimistic ecosystem updates. ARB trades at $0.3149 after touching an intraday high of $0.3334. Chart by Coinmarketcap While bulls fight for short-term control, the alt gas struggled with bearishness lately, down 20% and 60% in the previous month and year. The downside is visible as Arbitrum investors have struggled with losses despite various developers’ efforts to rescue the project from deep slides. However, the prevailing trends suggest impending shifts. As retail and institutional investors join the RWA bandwagon, platforms like Arbitrum stand to enjoy massive benefits. Arbitrum’s status as a scalable Ethereum L2 makes it lucrative for supporting more complex fiscal products, including those linked to off-chain assets. Such a trajectory could make Arbitrum the go-to blockchain for DeFi integration with RWA.

BitcoinWorld FalconX Pioneers Institutional Crypto Settlement with Lynq Partnership The world of institutional cryptocurrency is constantly evolving, and a significant stride has just been made that promises to reshape how major players interact with digital assets. Crypto prime brokerage firm FalconX has announced its pivotal role as a launch partner for Lynq, an innovative institutional crypto settlement platform. This collaboration isn’t just another headline; it signals a maturing market keen on addressing the critical needs of security, efficiency, and regulatory compliance for large-scale crypto operations. FalconX’s Pivotal Role in Institutional Crypto Settlement In the rapidly expanding landscape of digital finance, firms like FalconX are at the forefront, providing essential services that bridge traditional financial markets with the nascent crypto ecosystem. As a leading crypto prime brokerage , FalconX offers a comprehensive suite of services including trading, credit, and custody solutions tailored for institutional investors. Their decision to partner with Lynq as a launch member underscores the platform’s potential to revolutionize post-trade processes. This move highlights a growing trend where established financial players are seeking robust and secure avenues to engage with digital assets. Why a Dedicated Digital Asset Platform Matters Lynq emerges as a crucial player, aiming to streamline and secure the settlement of digital asset transactions. In an environment where regulatory scrutiny is increasing and the demand for robust infrastructure is paramount, a dedicated platform like Lynq offers several key advantages: Enhanced Efficiency: Automating and standardizing settlement procedures reduces manual errors and processing times, leading to faster capital deployment. Improved Transparency: Providing clear, auditable records of transactions, which is vital for regulatory compliance and internal reporting. Risk Mitigation: Specifically designed to tackle critical issues like counterparty risk , ensuring smoother and more secure transactions between parties. FalconX isn’t alone in recognizing Lynq’s potential. Other prominent industry giants like Crypto.com, Galaxy Digital, and Wintermute have also joined as launch partners, creating a formidable alliance poised to set new standards for digital asset platform operations. This collective backing signals strong industry confidence in Lynq’s vision. Navigating Counterparty Risk in the Digital Realm One of the most pressing concerns for institutions venturing into cryptocurrency is counterparty risk – the risk that one party in a transaction will fail to fulfill their obligations. This risk is amplified in the decentralized and often opaque crypto markets. Lynq’s design directly addresses this by creating a trusted, multilateral netting and settlement layer. By centralizing and standardizing the settlement process, Lynq aims to: Reduce the need for multiple bilateral relationships, simplifying operational complexities. Minimize exposure to individual counterparty defaults, protecting institutional capital. Provide a clearer, more predictable settlement environment, fostering greater trust. This focus on risk reduction is paramount for attracting and retaining large institutional capital, which demands the same level of security and reliability found in traditional financial markets. The Evolution of Crypto Prime Brokerage The evolution of crypto prime brokerage services is a testament to the maturation of the digital asset space. What began as rudimentary over-the-counter (OTC) desks has blossomed into sophisticated platforms offering a wide array of services. Firms like FalconX are pivotal in this evolution, providing the institutional-grade infrastructure necessary for large-scale participation.

On-chain data shows Tron (TRX) observed a large profit-taking spike earlier in the month. Which type of holder was responsible for the move? Tron SOPR Saw A Huge Spike Earlier In The Month In a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, analyst Maartunn has talked about the recent trend in the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) of Tron. The SOPR refers to an on-chain indicator that tells us about whether the TRX investors are moving or selling their coins at a profit or loss. The indicator works by going through the transfer history of each coin being moved to see what price it was last transacted at. Coins that have this cost basis above the current spot price are contributing to loss realization, while those with the opposite setup to profit realization. Related Reading: Crypto Bears Rekt: $359M Gone As Bitcoin, Ethereum Rebound The SOPR takes the ratio between the spent value and cost basis, and sums it up for all coins being sold on the blockchain to find a net situation for the market as a whole. When the value of the indicator is greater than 1, it means the investors are, on average, realizing a profit through their transactions. On the other hand, the metric being under this threshold suggests the dominance of loss realization in the market. Now, here is the chart shared by the quant that shows the trend in the Tron SOPR over the past year: As displayed in the above graph, the Tron SOPR saw a huge spike above the 1 mark earlier in the month, implying investors took part in a significant amount of profit-taking. From the chart, it’s also visible that there were other profit realization spikes during the past year, but the current one stands out for its scale. The latest peak in the metric saw its value go to 4.74, corresponding to a profit margin of 374%. “With TRX priced at $0.268 at the time, the average acquisition price for those coins would have been around $0.0566,” explains Maartunn. Interestingly, Tron hasn’t seen extended periods around this price mark since late 2022, meaning that the tokens would have been held for a good while before being finally transacted this month. Usually, when dormant hands break their silence, it’s likely to be for selling-related purposes. That said, it’s not the only reason they may do so. “The activity could be tied to early investors realizing gains, internal transfers, or reallocation decisions,” notes the analyst.

A steady drumbeat of policy updates and big-money moves has kept Bitcoin in the headlines this month. According to keynotes delivered at BTC Prague 2025 , the cryptocurrency’s path is now being drawn in decades—rather than days. Geopolitical And Regulatory Push Based on reports from Strategy’s executive offices, US regulators have taken a friendlier turn since July 2024. New cabinet roles now include digital asset advisers. The SEC, OCC, and Federal Reserve have each signaled that Bitcoin plays a role in modern finance. Congress has also weighed the Bitcoin Act and Clarity Act, and those talks are still underway. Institutions Pile In With Billions According to recent filings, more than $150 billion of fresh capital has flowed into crypto holdings. Institutional wallets now hold around 1.4 million BTC. Public companies in the “Bitcoin 100” club include US President’s Donald Trump Media, GameStop, SmarterWeb, and Metaplanet. ETF approvals have added 10 new ways for both small investors and big firms to buy Bitcoin. Long-Term Forecast Anchored In Math Now, here’s the most interesting part: Michael Saylor outlined a 21-year outlook that ties BTC value to global money trends instead of quick trades. He set a target of $21 million per coin by 2046. By that time, owning 4.8 Bitcoin could turn someone into a centaillionaire , based on simple math. Saylor pointed out a 56% annual return over the last five years. He compared that to a 13% cost of capital for many firms. DCA Strategies Vs. Traditional Holding Based on reports from Strategy’s research team , a $2 million dollar-cost averaging plan in Bitcoin would have grown to $40 million. The same $2 million parked in the S&P500 would be worth about $6 million today. Add in smart borrowing through equity issuance, Saylor said, and the upside climbs to $760 million—if markets cooperate. Volatility, he noted, is part of Bitcoin’s early life cycle. Companies should lock in low-rate funding and plan for price swings. Markets can move fast, and falling values often trigger margin calls. The coming months will test whether policy stays warm and big investors keep their faith. For now, Bitcoin’s story is shifting toward a multi-decade saga of adoption, regulation, and big bets. Will It Happen? Investors will be watching each Fed statement and corporate balance sheet near as much as they watch price charts. They may take the proverbial grain of salt on Saylor’s $21 million per Bitcoin by 2046. But many say the real story isn’t the $21 million figure itself. It’s the steady march of new rules and big names piling into Bitcoin that could shape its future far more than any single price forecast. Investors will be tuning in to every policy update and balance-sheet reveal, looking for signs that this decades-long experiment can keep gaining ground.

As 2025 unfolds, investor focus is shifting toward the tokens most likely to drive the next wealth cycle. Among them, MAGACOIN FINANCE , Ethereum , and Solana are emerging as key altcoin contenders of 2025 . Meanwhile, Polkadot is attracting attention as a quiet but formidable contender. Together, these assets represent a balance of scarcity, scalability, and next-gen utility that analysts say could define the year’s most impactful portfolios. MAGACOIN FINANCE: The Scarcity-Driven Powerhouse MAGACOIN FINANCE has raised over $10 million , with each pre-sale phase selling out swiftly. Built on a fixed 170 billion token supply , audited contracts, and 100% community ownership, it presents a structurally rare opportunity. Analysts are tracking whale accumulation, staking incentives, and token burn mechanisms as catalysts for breakout performance. Driven by scarcity, transparency, and community momentum, MAGACOIN FINANCE is positioning itself for long-term impact with a growing base of institutional and retail interest. Ethereum: The DeFi Anchor Accelerating Ethereum remains a foundational force in the blockchain space. Its recent Pectra upgrade , increased ETF exposure, and consistent Layer-2 development are fueling momentum. With ETH hovering near $2,900 , projections now target $6,000 to $8,000 by year-end. Ethereum’s ecosystem expansion continues to integrate rising projects like MAGACOIN FINANCE , creating synergistic value for long-term holders. Solana: Speed Meets Institutional Validation Solana is processing over 58 million daily transactions and controls 28% of DEX volume , backed by infrastructure upgrades like Alpenglow . With ETF discussions heating up and strong network stats, SOL’s price forecasts reach as high as $1,000 . Yet even Solana investors are rotating into early-stage plays like MAGACOIN FINANCE , seeking higher-multiple exposure alongside scalability. Polkadot: The Interoperability Dark Horse Polkadot is advancing with its 2.0 upgrades , including Agile Core Time and Snowbridge to Ethereum. With technical resistance around $14 , some forecasts stretch up to $19 by late 2025. Its 11.2% staking yield and cross-chain vision give it unique appeal as a complementary portfolio asset. Conclusion With proven strength from Ethereum and Solana , early-stage upside from MAGACOIN FINANCE , and innovative potential from Polkadot , these four assets represent a diverse blend of reliability and high-return potential. Analysts agree: this combination could lead 2025’s most dynamic investment outcomes.

Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) chains have gained attention over the last few years for solving major blockchain issues. Kaspa, for example, offers quick confirmations and high throughput. But most DAG networks haven’t moved beyond speed. The real challenge is getting these networks used in DeFi, payments, and global money transfers. BlockDAG (BDAG) steps in to close that gap. It’s using a mix of DAG structure and Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus. Add to that EVM compatibility and a plan focused on real-world finance, and BlockDAG becomes more than just another fast chain. It’s setting up the tools to support real payments, daily transactions, and on-chain financial activity where many others have stopped short. BlockDAG Adds What Other DAG Chains Don’t Kaspa and other DAG networks fix issues like slow block times and limited throughput. But most of them stop at the infrastructure level. They rarely move beyond the protocol layer. That’s why usage remains small despite solid tech. BlockDAG takes a wider approach. It combines DAG speed with missing pieces that other projects skipped: PoW to maintain decentralization and network security EVM support so Ethereum developers can join in A no-code builder for easy dApp creation Tools for DeFi like DEXs, bridges, and oracles This setup isn’t just about building a fast network. It’s about creating a blockchain that can handle real financial traffic. Why BlockDAG Is Building Before Listing BlockDAG’s roadmap focuses on putting financial tools into the Layer 1 core. Starting in Q4 2025, and just two weeks before it hits exchanges, key DeFi components will go live: A built-in DEX Lending and borrowing platforms On-chain indexers and oracles Multi-chain bridge for liquidity between networks These features aren’t planned for the distant future. They’re part of a six-week rollout set to begin right before price discovery starts. While most chains wait until after listing to build, BlockDAG is pushing development ahead of time. Its long-term goal is even more ambitious. BlockDAG aims to become a settlement layer for real-time payments, international transfers, and routing trades on DEXs. It’s the part many fast chains have missed, turning speed into real utility. The Power of Combining PoW Security With DAG Speed BlockDAG combines the secure PoW model from Bitcoin with DAG’s ability to process in parallel. That means it can handle thousands of transactions per second without losing security. This is key for financial tasks. On regular Layer 1 chains, validators bundle transactions to save time, but that adds delays. BlockDAG’s system avoids this by confirming transactions in parallel. PoW ensures trust and prevents manipulation. This setup is ideal for: Crypto payments in stores Quick foreign exchange transfers Small cross-border DeFi transactions Instant trade routing on DEXs These aren’t just ideas on paper. If BlockDAG sticks to its current pace, these use cases could become reality by mid-2026. Daily Growth Continues as $0.0020 Offer Nears Its End BlockDAG has already raised $320.5 million in its presale. So far, 23.2 billion coins have been sold. Over 2 million users have joined the X1 app, which allows mining from their phones. More than 18,173 miners have also been sold. The X30 and X100 miners will ship starting July 7. X10 devices will be shipped from August 15. This isn’t just marketing. This shows how the project is turning funds into working tools. With this much support, BlockDAG can grow its builder base, launch financial layers, and keep high-speed performance. BlockDAG’s pricing approach also draws interest. Batch 29 is set at $0.0276, but there’s a special presale rate of $0.0020 running for a short time. That’s much lower than the confirmed $0.05 launch price, meaning early buyers from Batch 1 have already seen 2,660% gains. The presale, currently offering this limited price of $0.0020, is pulling in new retail buyers daily. It’s set to increase to $0.0030 in just a few hours. What’s Next? Most DAG-based platforms focus on speed. BlockDAG goes beyond that. It’s building an entire system on top of that speed, made for crypto finance. The roadmap is clear. Tools are already working. The financial layer is scheduled to launch right before the coin hits exchanges. That kind of planning is rare. And it’s what makes BlockDAG stand out for anyone looking at real blockchain use. If it stays on track, BlockDAG could do what no other DAG chain has done: turn great tech into tools people use every day. It may even go further than Kaspa, by offering not just speed but real financial applications that work at scale. Because speed helps. But speed with function is what changes everything.
