The US Federal Reserve has taken an important step for the cryptocurrency industry. Accordingly, the FED announced that it has withdrawn the regulatory restrictions that banks have imposed on cryptocurrency and stablecoin activities. The Federal Reserve announced that it has rescinded its 2022 and 2023 audit letters requiring state member banks to provide advance notice of their cryptocurrency and stablecoin activities. The FED announced that from now on, such activities will be supervised through the standard supervisory process and that it will adopt a more flexible approach to the activities of banks. “The Federal Reserve Board announced on Thursday that it has withdrawn its guidance on banks’ crypto-asset and dollar token activities and made related changes to its expectations regarding these activities. This ensures that the Board's expectations remain aligned with evolving risks and further support innovation in the banking system.” As a result, the Fed will no longer wait for banks to report and will instead monitor banks’ cryptocurrency activities through its normal supervisory process. Finally, the Fed added that it will collaborate with U.S. agencies to assess whether additional guidance is needed to support innovation, including cryptocurrency activities. While this move by the FED was welcomed by the cryptocurrency industry, famous Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor said in his post, “Banks can now start supporting Bitcoin.” *This is not investment advice.

The crypto market is evolving, but one thing hasn’t changed—certain names always dominate the discussion. Ethereum , Solana , XRP , and Bitcoin continue to sit at the heart of every serious conversation about long-term opportunity, infrastructure, and innovation. These assets don’t just trend because of price action. They trend because they’ve each established a distinct role in the digital asset ecosystem. From powering smart contracts to enabling fast and affordable global payments, their reach is broad, and their reputations well-earned. But while these heavyweights continue to set the tone, a new contender is beginning to attract its own share of thoughtful attention: MAGACOINFINANCE . MAGACOINFINANCE Is Not Trying to Imitate—It’s Creating Something Unique In a space where so many tokens chase trends, MAGACOINFINANCE is quietly building something original. It’s not a meme token, a fork, or a clone. It’s a project with its own purpose, its own approach, and—most importantly—its own momentum. Over the past few months, MAGACOINFINANCE has made consistent progress on its roadmap while steadily gaining users, coverage, and community strength. The team isn’t relying on hype cycles. Instead, they’re proving that in crypto, substance is still the most valuable asset of all. With growing wallet activity, expanding social traction, and early trader networks flagging it as “one to watch,” this project is no longer flying under the radar. It’s starting to build gravity. The Current Core: Solana, Toncoin, Hedera Hashgraph, and Bitcoin Cash Solana continues to lead in transaction speed and ecosystem growth. With NFT, DeFi, and infrastructure developments expanding daily, it’s earned its reputation as a true Layer-1 powerhouse. Toncoin has found its niche by integrating into social environments, bringing blockchain to users who never saw themselves as crypto-native. Its user-first strategy is making it a gateway for newcomers. Hedera Hashgraph is quietly becoming the blockchain of choice for enterprise use cases. Its partnerships with government agencies and Fortune 500s demonstrate the maturity of its technology and its long-term strategy. Bitcoin Cash retains its appeal for those who value speed, simplicity, and the original vision of cryptocurrency. Its ecosystem may be smaller, but its community remains passionate and focused on real-world transactions. Each of these assets holds a specific strength. But none are in their discovery phase. That’s where MAGACOINFINANCE brings something the others can’t: the promise of what’s still to come. Final Thoughts In crypto, the most talked-about projects earned that status through persistence and value—not just hype. Ethereum , Solana , XRP , and Bitcoin will continue to lead.

Speculation that the Pokémon franchise could make its leap onto the Sui blockchain is fueling a price spike in Sui’s native token. SUI has rallied more than 63% over the past four days, climbing from $3.10 to $3.42, even as Bitcoin gained a comparatively modest 7% in the same period. SUI x Pokémon? Market observers trace SUI’s outperformance to a cluster of social-media posts that connect the dots between The Pokémon Company’s latest update to its Pokémon HOME mobile app and recent disclosures from the Sui ecosystem. On April 23, Pokémon HOME added a medal-collection feature and—crucially—quietly amended its privacy policy to include Parasol Technologies as an approved developer permitted to receive user data. Parasol, a blockchain-gaming studio, was recently acquired by Mysten Labs, the core development team behind the Sui network. Related Reading: SUI Forms Inverse Head And Shoulders – Can Bulls Break Above $2.52? Within hours, prominent crypto commentators amplified the coincidence. TylerD (@Tyler_Did_It) told followers: “Pokémon on Sui? The rumor mill is working overtime on this one. Today, Pokémon HOME had a privacy policy update which includes a new developer—Parasol Technologies. Mysten Labs owns Parasol—and is also the developer behind Sui. Not too hard to start connecting these dots…” Shotgun (@shotguncaio), founder of The Espresso Shot, pointed to a since-deleted Sui Foundation blog entry that, according to screenshots, briefly mentioned Pokémon-branded NFTs: “The official Sui Foundation blog confirmed (and removed) Pokémon NFTs. … When Parasol Technologies—owned by Mysten Labs, the company behind Sui—was included in their privacy policy, the rumors became more intense. … Those ‘medals’ are tradable, unique digital items with distinct codes and serial numbers rather than SBTs (soulbound tokens). In my opinion, this adds an element of excitement by introducing a trading layer.” Ashen (@solashenone), founder of Kamai Finance, emphasized the corporate links: “Mysten Labs owns SUI and recently acquired Parasol Labs. Parasol Labs is listed as a dev in the new Pokémon HOME game. Could this be because Ashen one is heavily invested in Pokémon cards and SUI now?” Gaming Daily (@GamingDailyx) summarized the emerging narrative for a broader gaming audience: “RUMOR: Pokémon x Sui. Pokémon might be closer to Web3 than we think. Parasol Technologies now listed in Pokémon HOME’s privacy policy. Parasol is owned by Mysten Labs, the creators of Sui. No comments yet from Nintendo or TPC.” Related Reading: SUI Price Nears $2.82 Resistance – Is A Breakout Imminent? Beyond social media, a separate report detailing the April 23 app update underscored why Parasol’s name matters. While the Sui Foundation’s blog post of the same day announced that Parasol will launch trading-card games such as Capybara Fusion and Code of Joker: Evolutions on Sui, it made no mention of Pokémon. Nevertheless, the proximity of the announcements—and the franchise’s history with collectible assets—has stoked expectations that Pokémon’s sprawling intellectual-property empire could experiment with tokenized items on Sui. The Pokémon brand commands one of the most valuable trading-card markets in the world; in 2022, YouTuber Logan Paul paid $5.275 million for a single Pikachu Illustrator card in a private sale that set a world record. Yet blockchain integrations have historically met fan resistance: a 2023 Pokémon Company job post seeking candidates familiar with NFTs generated swift backlash from long-time players. Neither Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, nor Mysten Labs has issued an official statement on any Pokémon-related blockchain initiative. The absence of confirmation has not dampened momentum in the SUI market, where traders appear willing to price in even a slim probability of a Pokémon partnership. At press time, SUI traded at $3.54.

An executive at major stablecoin issuer Circle denied recent reports that the company is looking to obtain a US federal bank charter. In an April 25 X post, Circle’s chief strategy officer and head of global policy, Dante Disparte, denied that the company is interested in obtaining a US federal bank charter or acquiring an insured depository institution. Instead, he explained that Circle intends to comply with future US regulatory requirements for payment stablecoins, “which may require registering for a federal or state trust charter or other nonbank license.” He also urged lawmakers to reach regulatory clarity for stablecoins sooner rather than later. Source: Dante Disparte The statement follows recent reports that major cryptocurrency firms, including stablecoin issuer Circle and crypto custodian BitGo, are r eportedly considering applying for bank charters or licenses. Other firms cited as seeking such a license in the same report include publicly traded US-based crypto exchange Coinbase and the stablecoin issuer Paxos. Related: Circle’s EURC grows as trade war pushes euro higher — Analyst The report was not entirely baseless Cointelegraph reached out to all the companies cited in the report, requesting a confirmation or denial. All companies except one denied the request for comment, with Coinbase confirming instead that it is currently considering such a license . Those were also not the first reports of Circle being interested in a US bank charter. In April 2022, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said in an interview with Bloomberg that the firm was already in discussions with regulators as part of its efforts to apply for a bank charter “hopefully in the near future.” Circle did not respond to Cointelegraph’s request for further comment as of publication time. Another previous report that helps establish the credibility of the claim is that the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted a preliminary, conditional approval for a US bank charter to Paxos in 2021. Related: Circle considers IPO delay amid economic uncertainty — Report US stablecoin regulation is evolving The news comes as US regulators are working to change how stablecoins are regulated in the country. The US House Financial Services Committee passed a Republican-backed stablecoin framework bill earlier this month. The bill in question is the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy (STABLE) Act. Another bill also currently moving through the US legislative process is the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. The STABLE and GENIUS bills differ in how they would regulate the stablecoin industry, with the former emphasizing strict federal oversight and the latter being more flexible, allowing for both federal and state rules. The GENIUS Act bill was introduced first and passed the US Senate Banking Committee in mid-March. Magazine: Stablecoin for cyber-scammers launches, Sony L2 drama: Asia Express
TL;DR The XRP army continues to post about the asset’s enormous potential during this and future bull cycles, indicating massive price predictions of up to $100 per coin. In this article, we will review some of the latest, and a few of them are actually achievable in the short- to medium-term. How High Can XRP Go? To say that Ripple and its native cross-border token have a large and loud online community would be an understatement. To say that they are (almost) always bullish and full of surprising and massive price predictions would be another one. Let’s start with Oscar Ramos, who cited a Bitwise analysis and determined that $2 will be a “thing of the past.” He believes that once the XRP ETFs are approved in the US, “bears will get wrecked” and the asset’s price will go parabolic ($29.32 target by 2030). Recall that there are ten such applications sitting on the US SEC’s desk. While the chances for a green light are quite high, at least according to Polymarket, the actual approval doesn’t guarantee success for the underlying asset. Just see how much lower ETH trades now compared to before the Ethereum ETFs went live last summer. After the $29.32 goal set by Bitwise and Ramos, we go even higher. Brett, who has put XRP in his bio on X, which usually increases the impartiality factor and boosts trust, has set an even more mindblowing target of $55. $XRP TO $55 According to Sistine Research, the altcoin could hit $33-$50 by 2027 — a potential 1500%-2500% price rally. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS XRPIANS pic.twitter.com/hlWqsqUbEj — Brett (@Brett_Crypto_X) April 25, 2025 Despite the X handle, “XRP_Queen” was a lot more modest, suggesting a ‘bold’ price prediction of $6.5 per XRP. Compared to the others, this one seems like a bear case. We are not saying the other predictions are insane or unimaginable, but we would put this one in the ‘achievable’ column. Maybe Even $100? Well, when we are talking about wild and shocking XRP price predictions, you should refer to this article . In it, we cited a popular social media influencer with over 500,000 followers on X who laid out XRP’s path to, yes, $100. That’s $100 per XRP. Although his reasoning has its merits, such a mind-blowing number would require breaking a few financial laws. For instance, XRP would need to skyrocket by 4,450% from its current $2.2 price tag. Let’s assume it does, then its market cap would be just shy of $6 trillion (that’s if the total supply doesn’t further expand until then, which is impossible given Ripple’s tokenomics). We don’t want to sound bearish and pessimistic, but a $6 trillion market cap would mean that XRP is more than three times bigger than bitcoin. It would also mean that Ripple’s token is twice the size of Apple and Microsoft combined. So, yes, it might sound a bit far-fetched but then again nothing is impossible, right?
