US banks can accept Ripple for international payments
Recently, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse suggested that US banks could use XRP. Prominent blockchain expert Ben Armstrong stated in a recent video that US banks accepting XRP will be "the key to XRP's success." Ripple has been going through a difficult time since 2020, when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against the platform. Authorities said Ripple and its leaders "generated more than $1.3 billion through a continuous, unregistered offering of digital asset securities." In 2023, XRP became the only token with "legal clarity" after Judge Analisa Torres' landmark decision qualified it as non-security. Ben Armstrong said that Ripple's victory before the SEC shows that the company is on its way to achieving its goal.
Cardano whale activity increases dramatically
There has been a notable increase in whale activity on the Cardano network recently, and plenty of data shows that major ADA investors are moving more. This increase in activity could signal several different market behaviors, including possible accumulation, redistribution, or even laying the groundwork for significant network developments. First, there was a notable increase in the volume of large transactions. The latest 24-hour activity shows 6,980 transactions, below the seven-day low of 5,005. As for the amount of these transactions, we saw a significant 24-hour volume of 26.9 billion ADA. This is slightly below the previous seven-day peak of 29.4 billion ADA. Such large volumes often signal the beginning of price volatility as they indicate significant liquidity movements that have the potential to maintain or destabilize current price levels.
