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.

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.

Ripple

XRP is trending amidst overall crypto market volatility and the launch of new ETFs, sparking debates on their potential impact. Community discussions revolve around whether XRP can decouple from Bitcoin's influence and the significance of upcoming ISO20022 compliance. Some traders express frustration with price stagnation, while others remain optimistic about long-term utility and institutional adoption.

Shares of the online travel company rose 5.5% on Monday, higher than the 4% gains on Friday following its quarterly report.

Expedia Group (EXPE) shares surged over 17% in extended trading on Thursday, among the highest in the S&amp;P 500, after the travel booking company raised its full-year target.If the after-hours gains carry over into Friday, the stock could be on its way to its best session in four months.Expedia said its upgraded outlook, coming on the heels of stronger-than-expected Q2 results, is driven by a sharp rebound in business travel demand alongside a modest recovery among U.S. consumers.Booking Holdings (BKNG) and Airbnb (ABNB) also reported better-than-expected quarterly results recently, although both companies offered cautious outlooks. Broadly, online travel companies are seeing a rebound in activity, driven by international travel, with U.S. demand showing signs of improvement beginning in July."Outside of the U.S., the market was quite healthy. Inside the U.S., it was softer,"&nbsp;Expedia CEO Ariane Gorin told Bloomberg in an interview."There was a bit of a bifurcation between travelers at the high end of the market that were still traveling, and then at the lower end of the market, where there was a bit more of wait and see."On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for Expedia shifted to 'extremely bullish' as of late Thursday, from 'neutral' the previous day, with message volume rising 2,300% in the past 24 hours."Buy all you can, forward guidance is rocking!" a user said.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/SmashingStocks/message/624245414</stembedurl>However, a few users also cautioned that the stock might not sustain the gains in Friday's session, comparing it to a similar move in DoorDash's shares this week.According to another user, the adjusted EPS beat was modest, while GAAP EPS actually declined, raising doubts over whether the after-hours share move is justified.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Huck18/message/624239984</stembedurl>On Thursday, Expedia said it now expects 2025 revenue to rise 3% to 5%, up from its previous forecast of 2% to 4% growth. The company similarly raised its guidance for gross bookings growth to the same 3% to 5% window.In the second quarter, revenue rose 6% to $3.79 billion, beating estimates of $3.71 billion.
