XRP News Today: Token Rebounds as $1B Treasury Plan Meets ETF Uncertainty – FXEmpire

XRP snapped a four-day losing streak on Saturday, October 18, as Ripple Labs announced plans to establish a new digital-asset treasury.
Ripple Labs is reportedly planning to lead a capital raise exceeding $1 billion to establish an XRP-focused digital asset treasury (DAT) structure. Tightening XRP supply could deliver greater price stability. Greater price stability may strengthen corporate interest in Ripple’s payment platforms and XRP.
Nate Geraci, President at NovaDius Wealth Management, shared the news, stating:
“Ripple leading effort to raise at least $1bil to accumulate xrp… New xrp-focused DAT.”
Prominent crypto commentator Ripple Bull Winkle, with over 125,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), commented on Geraci’s post, stating:
“This moment will go down in XRP history – The repricing has Already started.”
However, XRP failed to break above the crucial $2.4 level despite the news. Traders are likely waiting for more concrete details. Meanwhile, the US government shutdown remained an headwind, capping gains.
The prolonged US government shutdown continued to weigh on demand for XRP. Hopes for an October launch of XRP-spot ETFs have evaporated. The US government shutdown extended to 19 days, with the next US Senate vote on a stopgap funding bill likely on Monday, October 20.
However, the tenth US Senate vote on Friday, October 17, suggested the stalemate could continue. The shutdown has left the SEC with a skeleton staff and delayed reviews and approvals. Uncertainty about the timing of XRP-spot ETF launches and institutional money inflows has contributed to October losses. XRP has tumbled 17% in October.
A Senate vote passing a stopgap funding bill could fuel expectations of an XRP-spot ETF launch, potentially boosting demand for XRP.
Strong institutional demand, combined with Ripple Labs’ plans for a DAT, could trigger the next XRP bull run.
XRP rose 2.97% on Saturday, October 18, reversing the previous day’s 1.51% loss to close at $2.3622. The token outperformed the broader crypto market, which gained 1.07%, but remained below the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), reaffirming a bearish bias.
Key technical levels to watch include:
In the coming sessions, several key events could dictate near-term price trends:
Bearish Scenario: Risks Below $2.3
These bearish scenarios could push XRP back toward $2.3. A break below $2.3 may enable the bears to target the $2.0 psychological support level.
Bullish Scenario: Path to $3
These bullish scenarios could drive the token above $2.4, putting $2.7 into play. A break above $2.7 would support a move toward $3.0.
The price outlook hinges on the US government shutdown and the timelines for spot ETF launches. However, growing demand for XRP as a treasury reserve asset could deliver crucial price support.
The token could retarget the $3.0 handle if the US Senate passes a stopgap funding bill. The token could hit new highs if the Fed cuts rates and the US Senate passes the Market Structure Bill.
All eyes are on Capitol Hill, where Monday’s vote could dictate whether the token reclaims $3 or resumes its drop toward $2.
Traders should closely monitor Capitol Hill and Fed commentary.

EuroMillions rolls over AGAIN as £208m unclaimed – everything you need to know – The Sun

More from The Sun
A winning ticket would make you instantly richer than Adele
THE massive EuroMillions jackpot prize of £208million will roll over yet again after the money went unclaimed.
While the hefty sum wasn’t won players should still check their tickets to see if they can claim a smaller chunk of the total prize money on offer.
Please provide a valid email.
Your info will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy
You'll now receive top stories, breaking news, and more, straight to your email.
The winning numbers tonight were 02, 28, 40, 43, 45 and the two lucky stars were 03 and 07.
In the previous draw, four players matched the five main and one star, but nobody matched all five and both the lucky stars.
The numbers on that draw on June 10 were 19, 36, 39, 40 and 45 and the two lucky stars were 5 and 6.
The prize money is now capped at £208 million and players will have a chance to win the huge sum on the next draw on Tuesday 17th June.

The final “Must Be Won” draw will be triggered after the fifth draw, which will be on Friday, June 20.
This means that the money will have to be given to someone that night.
Players can therefore win the huge sum of cash, without matching all five numbers and two lucky stars.
If no one matches the five numbers and two lucky stars, the fund will roll down to the next tier, meaning anyone who matches five numbers and one lucky star will share the £208 million sum.

If no one is a winner in this tier, then players who have matched just the five main numbers will share the prize.
The jackpot will keep moving down a tier, until there is a winner.
If there is a sole jackpot winner, they will become richer than Adele and Dua Lipa.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said, “Tuesday will see the incredible £208M EuroMillions jackpot still up for grabs.
“A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen.
“Get your tickets early to ensure you’re in with a chance of a massive life-changing win.”
Tonight’s draw also saw 13 UK millionaires made through a special EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker event.
UK EuroMillions players should check their tickets and contact the lottery team if they believe they are one of the lucky winners. 
In the previous week’s draw the main EuroMillions winning numbers were 20, 21, 29, 30, 35 and the Lucky Stars were 02, 12.
One UK ticket-holder became a millionaire after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning £2.02million.
No players won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot by matching the five Thunderball numbers, 03, 14, 31, 32, 34, and the Thunderball number 06.
It comes after an anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195million on July 19 2022.
Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, bagged £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on May 10.
The UK’s third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177million jackpot on November 26 last year.
It came after 11 millionaires were made on the National Lottery draw in just one week in 2024.
One lucky Brit won a cool £33million with their Euromillions ticket.
Another ticket, which was snagged in the UK, matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars.
It came just weeks after two players from the same county scooped £1m each.
This year, the largest win was seen in January with £83million.
A previous EuroMillions lottery winner, who scooped an eye-watering £107million jackpot, has revealed why he went public with the news.
Neil Trotter bagged the whopping prize money and was faced with a huge decision whether or not to remain anonymous.
The 45-year-old chose to splash the cash and filled his driveway with a Jaguar and a Porsche – before upgrading their parking spaces to a luxury mansion.
But, Neil explained it can be tricky to go public because of pressure to provide people with money.
However, he was overjoyed to buy his sister a house, and help out family and friends privately.
He told the BBC: “It was quite tricky but I don’t really see that there’s any option [other] than to go public.
“If you want to live the dream – which is have the house, the money and spend it, you’ve got to go public.
“People have said in the past they would hide the money, I think £170million is going to be impossible to hide.
“This is the lake that I bought and the big house and I’m living my dream.”
But he did previously admit he has been hounded by people making up claims to snap up his cash.
He said: “I have had loads of people contact me on Facebook, I’ve probably got about four million kids in this country.
“Everyone wants a bit of money.”
Elsewhere, a lucky couple thought they’d only bagged £2.60 on the lottery – but soon discovered they had scooped the £61million jackpot.
Richard and Debbie Nuttall, both 54, from Colne, Lancashire, took home the life-changing sum in the EuroMillions draw.
The couple were enjoying a holiday in Fuerteventura, celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, when they discovered the big win.
Richard revealed they originally thought they had won £2.60, but then received another email telling the pair to check their account.

“We were totally stunned, it said we had won over £61million,” said the winner.

Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $1,200 With 50,000% Run Driven By These Factors – TradingView

Crypto analyst Remi has predicted that the XRP price could hit $1,200. The analyst also highlighted factors that could spark this 50,000% increase for the altcoin even as it crashes alongside the broader crypto market at the moment. 
Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $1,200, Here’s Why
In an X post, Remi stated that the charts are now showing that an E-wave rally to $1,200 for the XRP price. The analyst noted that in 2017, the altcoin recorded a 76,000% gain, with no utility and driven solely by retail speculation. However, this time around, XRP only needs a 50,000% gain to reach this target, and it has utility and institutional FOMO, which makes this projected target more promising. 
This institutional FOMO is expected to come through the XRP ETFs, which are set to be approved by the SEC once the U.S. government shutdown ends. While these funds are expected to drive new liquidity into the XRP ecosystem, it remains to be seen how much impact they will have on the XRP price. 
Meanwhile, Remi advised XRP holders to take profits as the XRP price records this projected parabolic rally. He added that they should take profits at different intervals, because a black swan event could happen out of nowhere before they reach the ‘E Wave.’ The analyst also mentioned that no one can ever time the top, which is why it is best to take profits along the way up. 
This XRP price prediction comes as the altcoin declines alongside the broader crypto market. XRP is trading just above the psychological $2 level as trade tensions between the U.S. and China, along with other macro factors such as the prolonged U.S. government shutdown, spark bearish sentiment in the market. 
XRP Could See Another Leg Down Before A Reversal
Crypto analyst CasiTrades indicated that the XRP price could see another leg down before any bullish reversal. This came as she noted that the altcoin isn’t showing the strength that would invalidate the final wave down, and that price is stalling right around the Wave 4 resistance levels. 
CasiTrades further stated that if the current XRP price action were a deep V-shaped recovery, then there should have been a strong breakout above key resistance at $2.82. However, that breakout hasn’t come, which is why she is leaning towards the market needing one more wave down for full exhaustion and a change of sentiment. The analyst predicted that a retest of the .618 retracement around $1.46 or the golden pocket near $1.35 is possible for the next wave down.
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.33, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto News Today: Pi Coin Utility Expands as Pi Network Rolls Out App Studio Upgrade – Live Bitcoin News

Pi Network upgrades Pi App Studio with AI tools and staking features to expand Pi Coin utility and support app development.
Pi Network has launched a major upgrade to its Pi App Studio, aiming to expand Pi Coin’s utility and improve the creation of applications. The update includes AI-assisted tools for developers and new features that help users explore, vote, and support apps within the network.
The upgraded Pi App Studio can now be accessed directly from the top navigation bar on Pi Desktop. This makes it easier for developers to find and use the tools. A key addition is the AI-assisted creation suite, which gives developers more flexibility when building and customizing applications.
The update also introduces a staking-enabled discovery hub. Users can explore apps, vote for their favorites, and stake Pi coins to support promising projects. Developers can categorize their apps to improve navigation, making it simpler for users to find relevant applications.
This App Studio upgrade follows other developments within the Pi Network. Earlier in the month, the platform added a decentralized exchange (DEX) and an automated market maker (AMM) to its Testnet. These tools allow developers to safely test token trading and liquidity pooling.
Additionally, Pi Network introduced a Fast Track KYC system. This aims to speed up user verification and address issues with claiming tokens. The system makes the onboarding process smoother for new users while supporting the growing ecosystem.
Pi expert Mr. Spock shared in an X post that the network could benefit from building a proprietary blockchain protocol rather than relying on Stellar’s Consensus Protocol (SCP). He noted that SCP provided a scalable start but caused some public confusion, as some investors mistakenly assumed Pi runs directly on Stellar.
Why Pi Network Should Have Built Its Own Protocol
While Pi Network’s choice of the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) was strategic for speed, security, and scalability, there’s a strong case for why developing a custom consensus algorithm from scratch could have made Pi even more… pic.twitter.com/RLG76ae1ow
— Mr Spock 𝛑 (@MrSpockApe) October 17, 2025

“While SCP gave Pi Network a fast and proven start,” Spock said, “a fully original protocol could have amplified its image of strength, innovation, and autonomy.” The network’s Protocol Version 23 upgrade introduces performance improvements that may move Pi closer to this goal.
The upgrade also allows Pi Network to explore opportunities linked to Stellar’s infrastructure. Stellar recently joined the ERC-3643 Association, a regulatory platform for tokenized assets with compliance features, potentially opening paths for Pi Coin in tokenized asset markets.

Mt. Gox trustees face a deadline on Oct. 31 to complete Base, Early lump-sum, and Intermediate repayments for Bitcoin creditors (BTC), with roughly 34,689 BTC still sitting in Mt. Gox-linked wallets as the clock ticks down.
The Tokyo court extended the original cutoff date of Oct. 31, 2024, by one year after processing delays and missing documentation stalled distributions that began in July 2024.
The trustee delivers Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash through designated exchanges, such as Bitstamp and Kraken, or in cash to creditors who did not request cryptocurrency.
Oct. 31 marks a completion date, not a single payout event, and the trustee reports that these stages are “largely completed” for creditors who have submitted all required information.
The backdrop raises questions about whether exchanges will absorb a late-month supply wave or creditors will route coins through custody and over-the-counter channels.
Of the original 142,000 BTC in the pool, approximately 107,000 BTC have been transferred to end recipients.
Glassnode reported 59,000 BTC reached exchanges by Jul. 29, 2024, while BitGo held roughly 33,023 BTC in tracked wallets by mid-August.
Additional batches followed through late summer, but the current split between exchange-bound and custodial flows remains undisclosed.
Three potential pathways shape how the remaining 34,689 BTC reaches markets before the deadline.
In a staggered-distribution scenario, creditors receive batches throughout October but choose to hold or transfer coins into custody, thereby minimizing immediate sell pressure.
Processing windows at Kraken and Bitstamp are up to 90 days and 60 days, respectively, which means that individual credits are disbursed on different dates even within the same repayment stage, spreading potential sales across weeks rather than concentrating them.
A second scenario sees creditors routing coins into over-the-counter desks, thereby draining liquidity from institutional buyers without hitting public order books.
OTC transactions bypass exchange infrastructure entirely, leaving spot volumes and basis trades unaffected while still completing distributions before Oct. 31.
The third scenario introduces surprise exchange inflows as batches of cleared custodial checks are added to Bitstamp or Kraken order books.
Concentrated inflows would be reflected in spot volumes, potentially compressing basis spreads and affecting ETF arbitrage flows as market makers rebalance their hedges.
Exchange-bound deliveries carry higher visibility than custodial or OTC paths, making sudden wallet movements a key signal for traders monitoring Mt. Gox addresses through the month-end deadline.
Out of the roughly 107,000 BTC distributed, reports are that approximately 59,000 BTC reached exchanges, while around 33,000 BTC were processed through BitGo. The rest is not reported publicly. As a result, out of the 92,000 BTC tracked, 64.1% were sent to exchanges.
If applied to the remaining Bitcoin balance to be distributed, the worst-case scenario of a supply dump would be 22,253 BTC reaching the exchanges simultaneously. Bitcoin traded at $106,795.03 as of press time, representing a potential $2.4 billion sell pressure.
However, what drove the prices down for the entire crypto market last year on nearly the same date was the unwind of the yen carry trade, which sent BTC from $58,315.08 to $49,351.27 on Aug. 4.
Regarding Mt. Gox-related movements, Bitcoin’s price remained steady on Jul. 30, when 47,229 BTC were moved to three wallets. At the time, the amount represented $3.1 billion.
As a result, even in the worst-case scenario of $2.4 billion hitting exchanges, Bitcoin’s history suggests that the price might just experience slight fluctuations.

What is the Real Narrative Behind Cryptocurrency? – OneSafe

Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, took to social media recently to express his thoughts on the media portrayal of cryptocurrency as nothing more than a vehicle for crime and corruption. He points out that the narrative is not only lazy but also fundamentally misguided. It’s important to note that over 55 million Americans utilize blockchain technology for legitimate activities—whether they are payments, lending, or verification of ownership.
Alderoty’s emphasis on the visible nature of digital asset transactions shifts the focus away from sensationalist headlines to the ordinary individuals who benefit from cryptocurrency’s inherent efficiency and transparency.
There are several businesses that serve as examples of how cryptocurrency can be successfully integrated into traditional models.
MicroStrategy has made headlines with its significant investment in Bitcoin, acquiring over 100,000 Bitcoins. This pursuit has dramatically elevated its stock price, showcasing how traditional businesses can utilize cryptocurrency for tangible financial success.
Ripple’s focus lies in cross-border payments and has garnered the interest of various global banks. Its XRP token has shown consistent performance within the crypto market, highlighting a legitimate financial service that cryptocurrency can provide.
Chainlink offers essential infrastructure to the crypto landscape, facilitating oracle services that connect real-world data to blockchains. It exemplifies how cryptocurrencies can contribute to building a decentralized economy.
Hedera, based on hashgraph technology, has attracted major enterprises including Google and IBM. Its involvement in projects like carbon credits and supply chain solutions adds another layer to the practical applications of cryptocurrencies.
These instances together illustrate that the narrative surrounding cryptocurrency is not exclusively associated with crime, but rather one of innovation and legitimate business practices.
Education is key in reshaping the way the public perceives cryptocurrency. By enhancing general financial literacy and improving understanding, structured programs can help dispel fears and debunk misconceptions surrounding digital assets. There are several pivotal ways in which education can impact public perception:
Building Trust: Education often clarifies the role of regulatory and security measures, addressing concerns about hacking and volatility. Establishing trust is crucial for wider adoption.
Developing Skills: By introducing blockchain technology and cryptocurrency into educational institutes, individuals can acquire relevant skills that can drive innovation and ethical reasoning.
Reducing Risk Perception: A better grasp of risks associated with cryptocurrencies—and how to manage them—results in lowered psychological barriers against investment or usage.
Encouraging Responsible Use: An educated community is more likely to approach cryptocurrencies responsibly, being aware of both their virtues and limitations.
Counteracting Misinformation: Education can play a vital role in counteracting misinformation proliferated through media and social networks, ultimately shaping a more balanced public discourse.
With a focus on education, the narrative can transition from one of fear to one of opportunity and innovation.
The level of transparency offered by blockchain technology can effectively counteract narratives that paint cryptocurrency as a tool for crime. Here are some ways this works:
Traceability of Transactions: Every transaction on a blockchain is publicly recorded, allowing for the tracing of funds and identification of illicit activities. This visibility counters the belief that cryptocurrencies are entirely anonymous and untraceable.
Proactive Crime Prevention: Authorities can analyze transaction patterns to identify suspicious activities early on, such as money laundering or fraud, enabling timely intervention.
Immutable Evidence: The permanence of blockchain records provides reliable evidence for bringing charges against offenders, which makes it harder for them to deny their involvement in criminal activities.
Enhanced Regulatory Oversight: This transparency supports compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) measures, contributing to a safer financial ecosystem.
Building Trust: The growth of legitimate cryptocurrency use helps to diminish the stigma connecting it with crime, leading to wider acceptance and responsible innovation.
The technology’s transparency shifts the narrative from secrecy to accountability.
Several regulatory frameworks successfully balance supporting crypto innovation while simultaneously addressing concerns regarding crime. Here are some noteworthy examples:
The UK has put forth proposed regulations that specifically target stablecoins, focusing on maximizing their benefits while ensuring stability within the financial system. This balanced approach encourages innovation in digital payments without sacrificing consumer protection.
Singapore has established clear guidelines for cryptocurrency exchanges, mandating that they obtain licenses and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. The clear framework has made Singapore an attractive hub for crypto innovation in Asia.
Wyoming is another example that has enacted laws classifying digital assets as personal property, and has created Special Purpose Depository Institutions (SPDI) to cater to digital assets. This crypto-friendly regulatory environment promotes innovation while ensuring compliance with financial standards.
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has created a global regulatory framework for crypto-asset activities, focusing on safeguarding client assets and enhancing cross-border cooperation. This consistent global approach mitigates risks to financial stability while nurturing innovation.
Successful regulatory frameworks typically include clear guidelines, support for innovation, crime prevention measures, and international cooperation. They are instrumental in shifting the narrative surrounding cryptocurrency from one solely connected to crime to one filled with potential opportunities.
