SEC detains XRP, DOGE ETF, But Approval Odds Remain High

Posted on September 14, 2025 by Olumide Adesina

Crypto ETFs linked to Dogecoin (DOGE) and Ripple’s XRP have been delayed, highlighting the challenges facing digital assets other than Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Even though both funds were expected to mark significant events in their respective communities, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) demonstrates the gap between the more established spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs currently trading in the nation and experimental products.

The SEC’s review of the Franklin XRP ETF was extended on September 10th, pushing the deadline for a final decision from September 15th to November 14, 2025. The regulator cited the need for more time to consider potential risks and comments. Fifteen applications for XRP ETFs remain pending, marking the second extension since the product was first filed in March.

Bettors on Polymarket have given the project a greater than 90% chance of approval by year’s end, indicating investors remain optimistic that Ripple will obtain its own ETF.

Whales have been hoarding the original meme coin in anticipation of the ETF, according to recent data from Santiment. Wallet holdings with one to ten million DOGE reached a four-year high.

The SEC’s strategy reveals a significant gap in the strategy used to introduce crypto ETFs to the market. Under the Securities Act of 1933, for instance, spot Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs are set up as grantor trusts.

The ’33 Act framework is currently the industry standard for crypto products with physical backing, but it involves a lengthy review process that includes a formal comment period. In contrast, the Dogecoin product is structured under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

This allows it to utilize a special framework as a Registered Investment Company (RIC), which is different from the typical setup used by more well-known crypto ETFs, according to industry expert James Seyffart.

Bitcoin Miners’ Reduced Selling Fuels BTC Rise to $116K

Posted on September 14, 2025September 14, 2025 by Olumide Adesina

Bitcoin (BTC) has risen above $116,000, reaching its highest level in more than two weeks. The behavior of cryptocurrency miners has changed in tandem with this upward trend.

A considerable source of potential selling pressure is being removed from the market as miners choose to hold onto their assets rather than sell them.

According to Marketwatch, Bitcoin currently accounts for 56 percent of the market when compared to other cryptocurrencies. Its stability around this two-week peak shows strong investor confidence. Additionally, Bitcoin has a market capitalization of $2.29 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume of nearly $49 billion.

Historically, Bitcoin miners would sell their holdings, especially during price rallies, particularly before halving events that reduced their block rewards. However, this cycle is different. Since the beginning of September, miner transfers to exchanges have significantly decreased, as noted by CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain, who analyzed data from Binance.

The change is indicative of a more general shift in behavior.

According to a previous report from CryptoQuant, miners have been accumulating more aggressively than in previous cycles, helped by the arrival of U last year and growing institutional adoption. The market is successfully consuming the available supply, and since a significant selling source has been reduced, there appears to be less of a barrier to future gains. “They might be holding assets rather than selling them because they are expecting a price increase,” Arab Chain wrote.

Furthermore, mining activity is increasing, according to JA Maartunn, another market observer. He claims that on August 28, the number of active ASIC miners reached a record 5.62 million, indicating intense competition and continuous investment in the industry. The decline in Bitcoin miner deposits into Binance, according to Arab Chain, is a “positive short-term signal” that may help launch a new accumulation phase.

XRP: Ripple Bulls Ride SWIFT Battle to New High

Posted on September 14, 2025 by Olumide Adesina

XRP bulls are setting their sights on a $3.5 price target amid the recent volatility in the cryptocurrency market.XRP has once again captured attention as technical indicators suggest a potential breakout.

The cryptocurrency is no longer forming a descending triangle, a well-known chart pattern that often precedes significant price movements. According to data from CoinGecko, XRP experienced a remarkable rise, reaching a price of $3.16 yesterday.

The descending triangle typically indicates a period of consolidation, where buyers defend support levels while sellers push prices lower. However, XRP’s support has remained strong despite market fluctuations, indicating robust demand.

If Ripple bulls can break above the upper boundary of the triangle, momentum may increase, attracting new buyers and potentially leading to a surge towards $3.60. Achieving this price would mark one of XRP’s strongest rallies in recent months and signal a notable recovery from its prolonged consolidation. At this level, XRP would also be very close to its current all-time high.

Morgan Stanley has made progress in analyzing Ripple’s potential to disrupt traditional cross-border payment systems, including SWIFT. Experts within the firm speculated that the successful launch of a spot XRP ETF could generate up to a trillion dollars in liquidity for the XRP ecosystem.

This estimate is based on the idea that XRP can reduce the operational costs of cross-border transactions by sixty percent, freeing up a significant amount of dormant bank capital and effectively positioning it as a competitor to SWIFT.

Winklevoss Twins’ Gemini Crypto Exchange Pumps High in Nasdaq Debut

Posted on September 13, 2025September 13, 2025 by Olumide Adesina

Gemini’s shares jumped 14% on Friday as the exchange operator raised $425 million in an IPO. The stock’s IPO price of $28 was about 32% below its opening price of $37.01 on the Nasdaq. The share price peaked at $45.89 at one point. At $32, the stock closed up 14 points, or 3%.

The New York-based company set its initial public offering (IPO) price late Thursday above the anticipated range of $24 to $26, which was set this week, and an initial range of $17 to $19. Before trading started, the company was valued at about $3.03 billion. By the end of July, Gemini, founded by the Winklevoss brothers in 2014 and primarily functioning as a cryptocurrency exchange, had over $21 billion in assets on its platform.

Gemini reported a net loss of $159 million in 2024 and a loss of $283 million in the first half of this year, according to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Winklevoss brothers, who are among the first bitcoin billionaires and investors, believe that bitcoin is a better store of value than gold. They applied to start the first bitcoin exchange-traded fund in 2013, over a decade before the first bitcoin ETFs were finally approved.

The application was denied by the Securities and Exchange Commission due to concerns about fraud and market manipulation, paving the way for future discussions of bitcoin ETFs. Even in its early days, when Wall Street shunned bitcoin because of its extreme volatility and anti-establishment roots, the Winklevoss brothers were vocal about the need for wise regulation to establish guidelines for the financial revolution driven by cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin Battles $118K–$122K Resistance: Will BTC Break Through

Posted on September 13, 2025 by Olumide Adesina

Bitcoin (BTC) is facing a critical test of the $118K–$122K resistance zone, which could determine its next major trend.

Market analyst CasiTrades stated Bitcoin will face its most important test yet. Whether it reaches new all-time highs or enters a long-term correction likely depends on the resistance between $118,000 and $122,000.

Traders are focusing on this zone, weighing both bullish and bearish potential outcomes. CasiTrades suggests that a sharp decline within this range could signal that Bitcoin has already peaked, framing the current rally as the final phase of a larger macro correction that might change expectations for the cycle.

Conversely, a decisive break above $122,000 would disprove the correction theory, pushing Bitcoin to new all-time highs from its current level of $124,128 and sparking fresh bullish momentum with targets beyond the current range.

Buyers should adopt a long-term outlook: Arthur Hayes argues that Bitcoin’s price volatility favors patient holders over day traders seeking quick profits. He cites currency devaluation trends and the average returns over the past decade to support multi-year investment expectations. Holders should evaluate performance over years, not days.

Arthur Hayes emphasizes that Bitcoin’s price should not be subjected to daily speculation but considered with long-term patience.

He notes that long-term investors have historically seen disproportionate gains, while recent buyers expecting instant returns misunderstand market cycles.

Morgan Stanley, BlackRock with Ripple, SEC slams XRP ETF

Posted on September 13, 2025 by Olumide Adesina

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company with over $10 trillion in assets under management, has also shown interest in Ripple and XRP, although it has not yet filed for an ETF.

The company confirmed that its Director of Digital Assets, Maxwell Stein, will participate in Ripple’s flagship Swell 2025 conference on November 4-5, 2025, in New York. This event will feature more than sixty speakers, including Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman, and will cover topics such as tokenized assets, stablecoins, and the broader adoption of blockchain technology.

Rumors have emerged about a potential XRP ETF from BlackRock following Stein’s participation, especially after the resolution of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit in August 2025, when both sides dropped their appeals. ETF Store President Nate Geraci noted that this outcome removes a significant hurdle and predicts that BlackRock will be the next to file for an ETF after Bitcoin and Ethereum.

However, critics view the SEC’s actions regarding XRP ETFs as a “fresh blow” to Ripple, given the high expectations surrounding the situation. The SEC has extended review periods instead of outright rejecting any XRP ETF proposals.

Decisions regarding Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF (as well as a combined Solana/XRP fund) were delayed on September 10-11, pushing the new deadline to November 14, 2025.

Additionally, the addition of staking to BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF proposal has been postponed until October 30, 2025, along with ETH staking reviews for Fidelity and Franklin Templeton. Other XRP ETF filings (e.g., from Bitwise, ProShares, and Grayscale) remain in limbo until October-November 2025, with no approvals or objections currently expressed.

XRP Sentiment Soars on Binance, Rising Long Positions Signal Ripple Boom

Posted on September 12, 2025 by Olumide Adesina

Binance traders are becoming more optimistic about Ripple’s token, according to on-chain data.

CoinGlass data indicates that a large number of users are maintaining long positions on XRP, outnumbering shorts based on Binance’s long/short ratio (accounts), which measures the ratio of long to short accounts. This ratio reflects the percentage of net long and net short accounts among all trading accounts.

CoinGlass reports that the long/short ratio for XRP/USDT accounts on Binance is 3.05.

This means there are 3.05 times as many traders holding long positions compared to those with short positions. Among top traders on Binance for XRP/USDT, the ratio is even higher at 3.67, indicating a consistent trend.

This suggests that traders holding long positions outnumber those with shorts by a factor of 3.67. XRP reached $3 during Thursday’s session as bulls continued a broader recovery, raising the question: Will it hit $4 next?

XRP was trading around $3, gaining nearly 6% over the week. Bulls try to overcome this barrier to push the XRP price higher, aiming for a significant breakout above the daily SMA 50 at $3.01, which has been a resistance since September 9 but remains unbroken.

XRP price may follow two possible paths: first, breaking above $3.05 and then surging to $3.60; second, retracing to $2.90 and testing $ 2.90 before moving higher to target $3.60. In both cases, the goal is to reach $3.60, moving closer to the coveted $4 mark.

XRP has gained 468 percent over the past year, according to CoinGecko data, supported by a bull run from nearly $0.50 in November 2024..
