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 as the community anticipates a potential breakout, focusing on key resistance levels and consolidating patterns, with some eyeing targets significantly higher.

Apple, Inc. (AAPL) is planning to take Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) head-on with rival artificial intelligence (AI)&nbsp;glasses offerings, even as it puts its revamped Vision Pro headset development on the back burner,&nbsp;according to a Bloomberg report, published&nbsp;late Wednesday.Cupertino’s lag in AI has been among the primary reasons for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AAPL">Apple’s stock&nbsp;</a>underperformance this year. With smartglasses emerging as the holy grail for consumer AI adoption, the Tim Cook-led company has deemed it fit to step up initiatives in this direction, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-01/apple-shelves-vision-headset-revamp-to-prioritize-meta-like-ai-smart-glasses">said</a>, citing sources who asked not to be identified.Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta has a strong presence in the AI smart glasses market and it <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/meta-stock-inches-up-after-hours-as-zuckerberg-unveils-799-ai-glasses-analyst-calls-it-best-bang-for-the-buck/chDchFWRd6w">launched</a> the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses with a full-color, high-resolution display.Amid the increased focus on AI smart glasses, Apple has reportedly shelved its plans to develop a cheaper and lighter variant of its Vision Pro headset, which was slated for release in 2027.According to Gurman, Apple is developing at least two types of smart glasses:<ul><li>A version with a display pitted against Meta Ray-Ban Display</li><li>One, dubbed N50, which will pair with an iPhone but without a display</li></ul>&nbsp;Apple is reportedly planning to announce the latter product next year, before its release in 2027. Meanwhile, the one with a display, initially scheduled for 2028, could be released a year earlier. Gurman noted that Apple is looking to focus on voice integration and AI, two areas&nbsp;where it has had issues in the past. Apple’s AI, which it calls Apple Intelligence, was launched later than its peers, and the company also delayed the release of an upgraded version of the Siri personal assistant.Gurman said Apple’s AI glasses will likely come in a variety of styles and will be powered by a new chip. It will be equipped with speakers for music playback, cameras for recording media, and voice-control features that work in conjunction with a connected phone. The company is also planning a suite of health tracking capabilities for the device.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Apple stock shifted to ‘extremely bullish’ (24/100) by late Wednesday, up from ‘bullish’ the day before.

Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) China demand is firming up, with one more piece of evidence corroborating the recent analysts’ commentary regarding the strong uptake of the company’s newest iPhone models.In a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/mingchikuo/status/1972527240333398448">post</a> on X, TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp.’s (XIACF) new 17 series shipments have been significantly reduced (by 20%) from the 10 million units targeted initially. If Xiaomi doesn’t heavily promote its product or opts to be more aggressive with its pricing, the total shipment volume of its 17 series may be lower than the nearly 8 million units of the 15 series it sold, he added.The primary reason for the weakness, according to Kuo, is due to competitive pressure from Apple’s iPhone. The analyst noted that the iPhone 17 base model is performing better than expected in the Chinese market, denting the demand for Xiaomi’s base model 17 variant.“Apple’s/iPhone's worst period in China has passed,” Kuo said, adding that Xiaomi may have more challenges ahead as it would face more competitive pressure from the upcoming year’s new iPhones — the iPhone SE to be launched in the first half of 2026 and the other iPhone variants to be launched in the second half of the year.Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives, while raising&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AAPL">Apple's stock</a> price target to $310 in a note published on Sept. 21, said China demand will be a linchpin to the Apple iPhone 17 upgrade cycle.“Taking a step back, this is the time for Apple to drive growth in China with domestic competition from Huawei and Xiaomi being a formidable headwind,” he said. “We also believe with the US and China in a major game of high-stakes poker around trade negotiations/TikTok/Nvidia chip sales, it’s important Apple now seizes this moment after a few very frustrating years in China with demand issues a black cloud over the Apple story.”On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Apple stock shifted to ‘bearish’ (41/100) as of early Monday, down from ‘bullish’ the day before. The message volume on the stream also&nbsp;fell to ‘low’ levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:627/58;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_09_29_at_4_45_41_AM_png_931f976e76.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-29 at 4.45.41 AM.png" width="627" height="58"><figcaption>AAPL sentiment and message volume of as of 4:45 a.m. ET, Sept. 29 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Apple stock has gained merely 2.4% this year, underperforming most of its mega-cap tech peers and the broader market.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/progress-software-analysts-project-67-stock-upside-can-q3-earnings-spark-rally/chDMvlGR37n">Progress Software Analysts Project 67% Upside For Stock: Can Q3 Earnings Spark A Rally</a>

Billionaire investor Ken Griffin reportedly warned on Thursday that U.S. consumers have yet to feel the full impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs and predicted only one more rate cut this year.“The inflationary impulse from tariffs has only passed about 50% through the economy at this point. It’s still coming,” the Citadel founder told CNBC. He added that a 3% inflation rate “could be grating to tens of millions of American households.”Griffin said that higher import costs from the tariffs are still feeding through supply chains, keeping inflation stuck above the Fed’s 2% target. He sees only one additional quarter-point rate cut, despite slowing job growth this year, and expects inflation to remain in the mid-2% to 3% range in 2026.&nbsp;“The consumer’s going to pay,” he said.Griffin also urged the White House to preserve the Fed’s independence. “If I were the president, I would let the Fed do their job, and I would let the Fed have as much perceived and real independence as possible, because the Fed often has to make choices that are pretty painful to make,” he said. “If the president’s perceived as being [in] control of the Fed, then what happens when those painful choices have to be made?”In the interview, Griffin singled out Apple (AAPL) as an example of how tariff exemptions can distort competition, arguing the iPhone maker should not be spared duties on devices manufactured overseas.&nbsp;While Apple has diversified production into India and Vietnam, he criticized what he sees as backroom deals with large corporations. “We’re just going to continue to favor big and connected businesses in America?” he asked. “When the state becomes involved in picking winners and losers, there’s only one way this game ends. All of us lose.”He described the lobbying by companies seeking tariff exemptions as “nauseating,” calling it contrary to the American ideal of fair competition.<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/AAPL">Apple’s stock</a> edged 0.5% higher in afternoon trade on Thursday after reports surfaced that Intel may be approaching the Silicon Valley giant for a possible investment. Retail sentiment on Stockwits around the Cupertino-based company remained in ‘bullish’ territory amid ‘high’ levels of chatter.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the U.S. stock market remained in the red during afternoon trade.&nbsp; The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF</a> (SPY) was down 0.44%, the&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/DIA">SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF</a> (DIA) slipped 0.22%, and the Nasdaq-100 tracking&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust</a> (QQQ) moved 0.40% lower.&nbsp;If losses hold, this would mark a third day of decline for the S&amp;P 500. However, retail sentiment around SPY on Stocktwits remained in ‘bullish’ territory over the past day.

Apple, Inc. (AAPL) has asked the European Commission (EC) to repeal the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in response to the European Union’s (EU) executive arm’s call for submission of views regarding the act.The DMA was adopted by the EU in 2022 as a regulatory tool to regulate the power of the most prominent digital companies, including search engines, app stores, and messaging services, to prevent anti-competitive practices.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AAPL">Apple's stock</a> has declined for two straight sessions after&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/apple-stock-turns-green-for-the-year-fresh-highs-in-sight/chDhoABR3Pr">turning green for the year</a> on Monday following positive commentary regarding the uptake of its latest iPhone variants. On Stockwits, retail sentiment toward Apple remained ‘bullish’ (58/100) and the message volume was at ‘high’ levels.

Making these features, which would protect user data, available to non-Apple products and apps requires a lot of engineering work, it added.The features Apple cited included the Live Translation feature available for AirPods, iPhone Mirroring, which allows users to see and interact with their iPhones from their Mac, and Visited Places and Preferred Routes on Maps.“And according to the European Commission, under the DMA, it’s illegal for us to share these features with Apple users until we bring them to other companies’ products, Apple said, adding that “if we shared them any sooner, we’d be fined and potentially forced to stop shipping our products in the EU.”Apple said the “DMA slows us down” and that “our EU users’ experience on Apple products will fall further behind.”Compliance with DMA with respect to App Store increases risks when downloading apps or making payments, provides a less intuitive experience and allows exposure to harmful apps, the company said.It noted that DMA lets other companies request access to user data and the core technologies of Apple products. The tech giant also stated that EC’s interpretation of the DMA rules is constantly evolving, making it nearly impossible for companies to determine how to comply with them.“Over time, it’s become clear that the DMA isn’t helping markets. It’s making it harder to do business in Europe,” Apple said.In a submission to the EU in response to its request for feedback on the DMA, Apple said, “The DMA should be repealed while a more appropriate fit for purpose legislative instrument is put in place,” a Financial Times report&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/882322ef-a734-4fea-83d7-f112dc4c8eac">said</a>.In April, Apple was fined 500 million euros ($588 million) for preventing app developers from directing consumers to cheaper products and services outside the Apple ecosystem.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/black-berry-retail-traders-brace-for-jaw-dropping-earnings/chDkxfPR3E1">BlackBerry Retail Traders Brace For ‘Jaw-Dropping’ Earnings Even As Stock Rally Stalls</a>

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives on Tuesday called the recently announced Nvidia-OpenAI partnership a “validation moment” for the ongoing AI revolution, likening it to the tech boom of 1996 rather than the overstretched valuations of 1999.&nbsp;The agreement will see 10 gigawatts (GW) of Nvidia (NVDA) systems deployed for OpenAI’s (OPENAI) next-generation AI models, accompanied by a $10 billion investment from the AI bellwether.“We continue to view this as a 1996 moment for the tech world, and not a 1999 moment,” Ives wrote in a post on X.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:609/216;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_09_23_091409_png_b02e7f309a.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-23 091409.png" width="609" height="216"><figcaption>Source: @DivesTech/X</figcaption></figure><a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://stockwits.com/symbol/NVDA">Nvidia’s stock</a> fell as much as 1.7% on Tuesday morning after hitting an intraday high of over $184.50 in the previous session.

Apple&nbsp;Inc.’s stock struggled to build on the momentum it gained in Monday’s session, trading barely higher in the premarket&nbsp;on Tuesday.On Monday,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AAPL">Apple’s shares</a> jumped 4.31% to $256.08, with the upside accompanied by nearly double the average volume. The strength is attributable to positive commentary on the iPhone 17 uptake by Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives and BofA analysts.Ives, who raised his price target for Apple stock to $310 from $270, said&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/apple-stock-rises-premarket-analyst-sees-iphone-17-strength/chDQk0zR3cr">demand trends</a> for the new iPhone lineup were strong.

Apple Stock Turns Green For The Year: Are Fresh Highs In Sight?

BofA noted long lead times, especially for the base iPhone 17 model, with China leading the way, as consumers in the country take advantage of government subsidies for electronic products, subject to a price cap.

Apple stock rose nearly half a percentage point in the early premarket session on Monday, with retail traders’ attention turning toward the tech giant. The upward bounce has come despite the broader market and tech sector priming for a modestly negative opening.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward the stock remained ‘bullish’ (64/100), but the message volume remained at ‘normal’ levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:626/52;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_09_22_at_5_50_07_AM_png_077df5136c.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-22 at 5.50.07 AM.png" width="626" height="52"><figcaption>AAPL sentiment and message volume as of 5:50 a.m. ET, Sept. 22 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives raised the price target for the stock to $310 from $270 in a note released Sunday, implying over 26% upside from its Friday close. The analyst attributed the action to early strong demand signs for the Steve Jobs-led company’s newest iPhone 17 flagship product.“With iPhone 17 officially going on sale over the weekend, we are positively surprised by the demand trajectory with units that now appear to be tracking 10%-15% ahead of iPhone 16 thus far,” Ives said.Citing Asia supply checks, the analyst said he expects production increases of roughly 20% for base iPhone 17 and Pro models. “The new ‘iPhone Air could be the surprise’ of this Apple upgrade cycle, based on our numerous store checks over the weekend, speaking with Apple customers,” he added.Based on shipping times, the analyst sees strong demand for the iPhone 17 Pro models, which is positive for the average selling price (ASP). The analyst estimates iPhone shipments of 240 million to 250 million units for the fiscal year 2026, ahead of the Street forecast of 230 million units. “The Street is clearly underestimating this iPhone cycle in our view, and it's a Ryder Cup Bethpage moment for Cook and Cupertino after a few years of disappointing growth years,” he added.Apple stock is down 1.62% year-to-date (YTD), underperforming the broader market and the tech sector. It is now the worst-performing “Magnificent Seven” stock this year.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp; <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nasdaq-s-and-p-500-futures-pause-after-market-s-record-run/chDQ0Q7R3ck">Nasdaq, S&amp;P 500 Futures Pause After Market’s Record Run — Strategist Says Sell-Off ‘Very, Very Likely’</a>Editor's Note: The story has been updated to reflect the accurate price targets.
