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.

Court Ruling Lifts Markets: High Beta, Momentum ETFs in Focus

Kyndryl Holdings (KD) shares plunged as much as 12% on Thursday after short-seller Gotham City Research accused the IT services provider of accounting manipulation, claiming the stock is significantly overvalued and could drop by as much as 67% or even to zero.In a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.gothamcityresearch.com/post/kyndryl-like-the-old-ibm-except-with-an-undisclosed-cost-problem-part-i">report</a> titled ‘Like the old IBM, except with an Undisclosed Cost Problem: Part I,’ Gotham alleged that Kyndryl has misrepresented its financial health by inflating adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted free cash flow to create “the illusion of profitability.”Kyndryl, which spun off from IBM in 2021, has benefited from special pricing arrangements with its former parent, according to Gotham.&nbsp;The short-seller highlighted that Kyndryl’s payments to IBM for services totaled around $4 billion in&nbsp;the fiscal&nbsp;year 2021, roughly 25% of its total cost of services. By fiscal&nbsp;year 2023, those payments had declined 60% to $1.4 billion.Gotham argues that&nbsp;cost reductions, rather than operational improvements, are behind Kyndryl’s post-spinoff margin expansion.&nbsp;IBM’s stock&nbsp;traded in the red on Thursday morning, edging lower by 0.5%.The report further warned that these favorable terms are set to expire, predicting a sharp increase in IBM service costs in 2025 and 2026 that could weigh on earnings.CEO Martin Schroeter has downplayed cost pressures in the past, but Gotham estimates Kyndryl faces an additional $1 billion to $2 billion in expenses over the coming years.Another red flag, according to the report, is Kyndryl’s decision to stop disclosing IBM-related costs after fiscal 2023. Gotham suggests this omission may indicate the company is bracing for significantly higher expenses that could challenge its growth narrative.Gotham’s report also raised broader concerns about Kyndryl’s financial reporting. It identified discrepancies in the company’s reported payments to IBM between 2019 and 2023 and flagged a suspiciously stable $1.38 billion in related-party service costs across multiple reporting periods.The company also pointed to Kyndryl’s capitalized costs, which it says are 13.6 times higher than those of industry peers. Adjusted EBITDA, Gotham estimates, would be 61% to 72% lower if Kyndryl applied industry-standard accounting practices.Additionally, the report questioned Kyndryl’s reported cash flows, highlighting an unusually low days sales outstanding (DSO) of 34 days, which is well below the peer average of 80 days, according to the company.Gotham suggested that Kyndryl may be relying on receivables factoring to inflate its cash position artificially.The short-seller also cast doubt on Kyndryl’s “Total Signings” metric, which has increased from $13.5 billion in&nbsp;the fiscal&nbsp;year 2021 to $16.3 billion in 2024, despite declining total revenue.A recently disclosed Critical Audit Matter in Kyndryl’s 2024 10-K added to concerns, with the company’s auditor stating it did not maintain “effective internal control over financial reporting” as of March 31, 2024.Gotham also noted that 50% of Kyndryl’s management compensation is tied to “Adjusted Operating Cash Flow,” a metric the company has not disclosed since 2021.It flagged that insider selling has also increased&nbsp;recently, further fueling concerns.Gotham concluded that Kyndryl’s stock remains “uninvestable” due to these concerns.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1294/302;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_03_27_093222_png_d52e5d9a2b.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-03-27 093222.png" width="1294" height="302"><figcaption>Kyndryl retail sentiment and message volume on March 27 as of 9:35 a.m. ET | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/KD">Kyndryl’s stock</a>&nbsp;jumped to ‘extremely bullish’ territory.Some investors dismissed the accusations, with one user stating they plan to hold onto their shares.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/tothattila/message/609420502</stembedurl>Another expects a slow recovery through to May, followed by a jump when earnings happen.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/tothattila/message/609431999</stembedurl>The allegations overshadowed Kyndryl’s announcement of an expanded partnership with Google Cloud.&nbsp;The collaboration includes a new Mainframe Modernization with Gen AI Accelerator Program, leveraging Google’s Gemini models to enhance mainframe integration, COBOL-to-Java conversion, and AI training using on-premise data.Kyndryl’s stock has fallen 14% in 2025 but remains up nearly 40% over the past 12 months.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/amd-slides-pre-market-after-jefferies-downgrades-stock-citing-nvidia-dominance-intel-competition-retail-sentiment-sours/chJ22OkRbEd">AMD Slides Pre-Market After Jefferies Downgrades Stock Citing Nvidia Dominance, Intel Competition – Retail Sentiment Sours</a>
