Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

The XRP community is intensely divided amid a broader crypto market downturn, with strong discussions around a potential "bottom" and panic selling, while others highlight ongoing institutional adoption and anticipation for regulatory clarity from the Clarity Act.

Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is experiencing a sharp decline, fueling intense community debate around perceived institutional selling, MicroStrategy's leveraged exposure, and a circulating "Epstein coin" narrative, as bears anticipate further capitulation while some bulls are actively "buying the dip" amidst the volatility.

Solana is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed for mass adoption by providing a fast, secure, and low-cost environment for decentralized applications. It distinguishes itself by scaling globally without the use of complex sharding or multiple layers, instead maintaining a single, unified ledger to avoid liquidity fragmentation. This architecture allows it to process thousands of transactions per second with sub-second finality, often at a cost of less than a penny per transaction.  The network operates on a unique hybrid model that combines Proof of Stake with an innovation called Proof of History, which functions as a decentralized clock to timestamp transactions. This system reduces the need for constant node communication, allowing the Sealevel engine to run non-conflicting smart contracts in parallel across multiple CPU cores. Further efficiency is gained through the Gulf Stream protocol, which reduces confirmation times by forwarding transactions to validators before the current block is finished.  Founded in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana is now supported by the Switzerland-based Solana Foundation and significant institutional investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain Capital. The platform’s native token, SOL, serves as the primary currency for paying transaction fees, participating in network governance, and securing the system through staking.   Solana has also seen significant institutional adoption ranging from spot Solana ETFs to major partnerships including Visa's 2025 launch of USDC settlement on the network and the tokenization of public equity by firms like Galaxy Digital.

Solana is trending amidst a broader crypto market de-risking event, with its price experiencing a significant pullback despite strong on-chain activity and ecosystem growth hitting new records. The community is sharply divided between panic selling and viewing this as a prime accumulation opportunity, especially with ongoing discussions about regulatory clarity for the sector.

5 ETF Areas That Held Steady In Friday's Bloodbath  

On Oct 10, 2025, Wall Street saw about $2 trillion in market value wiped out. However, ETFs like SIVR, TAIL, URA, PZA, and VNM held steady. Find out why.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Vietnamese Communist Party chief To Lam agreed Monday to accelerate cooperation and nearly double annual trade to $150 billion by 2030, part of a broader push to counter the impact of newly imposed U.S. tariffs.At a joint press event in Seoul, Lee referred to Vietnam as “a very important neighboring country” in both trade and security, while Lam stated that expanding military ties could help strengthen regional stability, according to Bloomberg.Vietnam is South Korea's biggest investment target and its third-largest trading partner.

Several Asian economies are racing to strike last-minute trade deals with the U.S. ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline that could trigger steep new tariffs under President Donald Trump’s global tariff strategy.South KoreaSouth Korea’s top trade official said Monday that the country may reach an “agreement in principle” with the U.S. on tariffs before the Aug. 1 deadline, according to local media cited by&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/society-equity/south-korea-trade-envoy-may-be-able-strike-framework-deal-with-us-by-aug-1-2025-07-14/">Reuters</a>.&nbsp;Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo, following high-level talks in Washington last week, said “twenty days are not enough to come up with a perfect treaty that contains every detail,” and noted “considerable progress” on industrial cooperation.Yeo said that South Korea may need to make a “strategic judgment” on&nbsp;the agriculture and livestock sectors, suggesting that while “sensitive” areas may require protection, some aspects could be considered within the broader deal framework.&nbsp;He added that South Korea is working to avoid “unfair” U.S. tariffs on autos and steel that could damage industrial ties with its closest security ally.Trump said, “South Korea wants to make a deal right now,” without providing details.South Korea is hoping to avoid a 25% tariff set to begin Aug. 1, after a delayed start to negotiations following President Lee Jae-myung’s June 4 inauguration.&nbsp;According to Korea Customs Service data, South Korea recorded a $55.6 billion trade surplus with the U.S. in 2024, up 25% from the prior year due to rising car exports.ThailandIn Thailand, Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said Monday the government is considering zero tariffs on more U.S. imports, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/thailand-considering-offering-zero-tariffs-more-us-imports-finance-minister-says-2025-07-14/">Reuters</a>.&nbsp;He also said 200 billion baht ($6.1 billion) in soft loans would be made available to cushion the blow from U.S. tariffs.&nbsp;Thailand faces a 36% tariff from Washington if no agreement is reached before Aug.1.VietnamVietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said Friday that the U.S. and Vietnam have reached a consensus on a tariff deal framework, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-13/vietnam-urges-us-business-group-to-help-in-tariff-talks-media">Bloomberg</a>, citing local media outlet The Investor.&nbsp;Chinh made the remarks during a meeting with the U.S.-ASEAN Business Council in Hanoi, which includes companies such as Apple, Boeing, and Amazon.Vietnam was&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-11/vietnam-surprised-by-trump-tariff-announcement-seeks-lower-rate">reportedly</a> surprised by Trump’s recent announcement of a 20% tariff deal, and the country is now supposedly seeking a lower rate.&nbsp;Chinh urged U.S. businesses to support a detailed agreement on product-level terms, oppose trade defense actions against Vietnamese goods, and press the U.S. to recognize Vietnam as a market economy.JapanMeanwhile, tensions have also emerged in U.S.-Japan trade relations.&nbsp;Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/rubio-says-no-drama-or-division-us-relations-with-japan-2025-07-11/">reported</a> Friday that the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio downplayed concerns, saying there was “no drama or division,” despite Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stating Thursday that Japan needed to reduce dependence on the U.S. in areas like security, food, and energy.Trump announced a 25% tariff on Japanese imports last week.&nbsp;Japanese media previously reported the U.S. had asked Japan and other Asian allies to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP, which the Financial Times said led to Japan canceling a key bilateral defense and foreign ministers meeting.Rubio rejected claims of pressure, saying Washington merely encouraged Tokyo to invest in certain capabilities.He added that Japan's push for greater military autonomy was welcomed by the U.S. “Anyone looking for drama or division... shouldn’t be doing it,” Rubio said.&nbsp;A former Biden official told Reuters the relationship was strained, but said tensions could ease if a deal is reached by Aug. 1.On Stocktwits,&nbsp;<a
