Image generated by CariGold 3 Reasons XRP (Ripple) Could Be a Millionaire-Maker Cryptocurrency Key Points When money crosses borders using older technologies like SWIFT, it still moves like it is traveling by steamship. Fees pile up, settlement drags on for days, and businesses have to park idle capital just to keep trade flowing. That friction is profit lost. XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) and its ledger XRPL, created by the company Ripple, aim to fix those inefficiencies. For years, the coin's promise looked largely theoretical, yet in 2025 a trifecta of catalysts is finally turning possibility into traction. If those catalysts continue to play out, over the long term the coin could mint new millionaires. Let's take a look at each of the...

Image generated by CariGold What Are Crypto Airdrops? And Are They Worth the Risk? Few phrases in cryptocurrency trigger the fear of missing out (FOMO) faster than "free coins." Social media used by cryptocurrency natives overflows with screenshots from people who supposedly banked five-figure windfalls simply by clicking a button or sometimes simply by holding a certain coin. The allure taps into mankind's primordial impulse to find and then eat free lunches whenever possible. But it's been said that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and that if something is too good to be true, it probably isn't real. That tension is why crypto airdrops feel at once irresistible and, for most investors, maddeningly unrewarding. For some, they...

Image generated by CariGold Key Points XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) has been one of the hottest cryptocurrencies during the past year, but in recent months, it has been declining in value. On Monday, it was trading at about $2.26, down more than 33% from its 52-week high of $3.39. But with a lot of promise surrounding the crypto and its ability to add efficiency and transform global payment networks, could this be an opportune time to start or add to a position in XRP? Could this be the calm before the rally? During the past three months, there hasn't been much excitement around XRP. The digital currency has declined about 2% in that time (as of June 16), while Bitcoin has risen by almost 30%. But if you zoom out to over a longer time frame...

Image generated by CariGold Key Points Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has a market capitalization of $2.1 trillion, making it the world's largest cryptocurrency by a wide margin. In fact, it accounts for more than half of the value of all coins and tokens in circulation, which stands at $3.4 trillion as of this writing (June 14). A single Bitcoin currently trades for $105,000, but in an interview with Bloomberg last week, MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) co-founder Michael Saylor said $1 million might be in the cards in the next 10 years. While that sounds ambitious, it isn't even his most bullish prediction. He also maintains a long-term forecast that suggests the cryptocurrency could reach $13 million by the year 2045. If Saylor is right...

Image generated by CariGold Dogecoin (DOGE) climbed 4.29% over the past 24 hours, rising from $0.173 to $0.180, as broad market liquidations swept through the crypto market during the Israel–Iran conflict.

Image generated by CariGold XRP Leads Crypto Majors Gains as Bitcoin is Continuously Tested by Israel-Iran Tensions A fog of uncertainty continues to hang over global markets as crypto assets trade sideways, ahead of this week’s U.S. Federal Reserve meeting. While equities briefly found their footing on Monday, crypto markets remained defensive after Friday’s $1.2 billion futures liquidation, which shook out overleveraged longs and sent altcoins sharply lower over the weekend. XRP led the pack among crypto majors. Bitcoin rose above $108,000 in the U.S. morning session on Monday, then slid to as low as $106,500 due to profit-taking. However, buying activity later moved prices above $107,000 in the Asian morning hours on Tuesday. BTC...

Image generated by CariGold Senate expected to pass crypto bill without addressing Trump's investments WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is expected to approve legislation Tuesday that would regulate a form of cryptocurrency known as stablecoins, the first of what is expected to be a wave of crypto legislation from Congress that the industry hopes will bolster its legitimacy and reassure consumers. The fast-moving legislation, which will be sent to the House for potential revisions, comes on the heels of a 2024 campaign cycle where the crypto industry ranked among the top political spenders in the country, underscoring its growing influence in Washington and beyond. Eighteen Democratic senators have shown support for the legislation as...

Circle's stock price surges after stunning CEO comment “iPhone moment” hype usually makes me cringe, but coming from the CEO of one of 2025’s hottest stocks, I’m all ears! Having covered tech stocks for years, I’ll be the first to admit how recklessly the phrase has been thrown around. Every time a platform dishes out a new SDK or API, analysts rush in with talk of the next big “paradigm shift.” Except it’s never an iPhone moment, far from it. It’s the sort that would’ve made the late Steve Jobs raise an eyebrow, not launch a keynote. The vibe feels different this time, though. Crypto’s back in the air, and with all the recent action, it’s molten hot right now. Layer that with an IPO market on the rebound and you’ve got a seriously...

Image generated by CariGold JPMorgan Chase files for blockchain-related trademark, triggering speculation it has stablecoin plans The country’s biggest bank has applied for a trademark related to digital currency with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The move has led some to speculate the application for “JPMD” reflects the bank’s growing interest in stablecoins—a type of cryptocurrency that is designed to maintain a value in line with the U.S. dollar. The application was filed by JPMorgan Chase on June 15, according to the USPTO’s website. The application listed “JPMD” as a good or service that would provide “trading, exchange, transfer and payment services for digital assets,” among other categories related to...

Image generated by CariGold The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict has led to significant volatility in the markets, with oil and Bitcoin among the assets most affected. When the conflict began on June 13, it led to a significant surge in oil prices. But come June 17, and all gains have been erased. Oil, which was trading north of $75 on June 13, was quoted at $69.77 at press time. Bitcoin, on the other hand, began declining in value as the conflict began and immediately hit as low as approximately $103,000. However, it has risen more than 3% within 24 hours and was trading at $108,836.65 at press time.

Image generated by CariGold Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL), the crypto company behind the USDC stablecoin, opened to an all-time high (ATH) of $165.60 on June 16 as the Israel-Iran conflict entered into its fourth day. As reported earlier, Circle reportedly rejected acquisition bids by crypto industry giants such as Ripple and Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN). It later made an impressive IPO debut on June 5 as it opened at $69, 124.19% above the IPO price of $31.

The previous CRCL ATH was around $138 which it hit a week ago. In fact, its trading was halted multiple times due to limit up-limit down rules due to a stock’s...

Image generated by CariGold Regulatory clarity fuels growth In an interview with TheStreet Roundtable, Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder of Ledn, highlighted how clear signals from US authorities have ignited what he called a “Cambrian explosion” in Bitcoin-backed lending. He noted that major regulators have moved from resistance to support — turning prior choke points into open doors for the industry. Di Bartolomeo pointed to the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent embrace of Bitcoin ETFs and the appointment of a crypto czar as pivotal. “The SEC has now turned into a tailwind to the space,” he said — adding that these developments send a strong message to global investors that the United States is “open for business.”...

Image generated by CariGold Trump Media ETF to Hold Both Bitcoin and Ether, Company Says An exchange-traded fund planned by Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) will combine Bitcoin and Ether in a single tradable asset, the company said Monday.

The launch is planned for "later this year," the company said. The company earlier this month said it planned to offer a Bitcoin-only ETF, and in late May said it was raising money to acquire Bitcoin. Trump Media earlier this year announced plans to offer...

Image generated by CariGold In an interview with TheStreet Roundtable, Nevin Freeman said Monetarium is the second annual gathering organized by Confusion Capital and the Reserve ecosystem. Freeman explained that Monetarium isn’t limited to Reserve enthusiasts or asset-backed currency advocates. “It’s really for anybody who wants to have a deep conversation about the nature of monetary systems and who’s willing to think about what is going to happen to the fiat system, what’s going to happen to the US dollar,” he said. The conference is scheduled for June 18 to June 21 and will take place in Washington D.C.

Image generated by CariGold President Donald Trump’s social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, recently entered into deals with about 50 institutional investors that will raise $2.5 billion to invest in bitcoin. $1.5 billion will come from selling approximately 58 million shares and $1 billion from selling bonds that can be converted into shares later.

Image generated by CariGold Major asset manager sets the clock ticking with latest move CoinShares has joined the race for a U.S.-listed spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF). The firm filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 13, seeking to enter the proposed 'CoinShares Solana ETF’ that would provide investors direct exposure to Solana, a trend arising from asset managers looking to bring spot crypto products to U.S. markets outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum. A Solana ETF will provide a simple way for investors to gain exposure to Solana without directly buying the crypto asset. As outlined in the filings, the ETF would track price changes of Solana and be listed on a...
