XRP failed to rally following Evernorth Holdings' Nasdaq debut in October, despite the company holding 473 million XRP tokens worth $648 million.

Hyperliquid Just Fell 17% From Its All-Time High. Here's Why I'm Not Buying the Dip.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has fallen 17% from its September all-time high of $97.98 to $81, raising questions about whether investors should buy the dip. While Hyperliquid dominates decentralized perpetual futures trading with 60%+ market share and benefits from daily token buybacks, momentum is cooling. The 90-day return of 19% underperforms Bitcoin's 28%, and regulatory headwinds have emerged following the CFTC's approval of perpetual futures in the U.S. and the failure of the Clarity Act, which has intensified competition from platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood.

Most Investors Are Wrong About Who Owns the Most Bitcoin. That Misunderstanding Creates a Buying Opportunity.

Individual investors hold approximately two-thirds of all Bitcoin (14 million BTC), while corporations, ETFs, and governments collectively own only about 13% of the supply. As institutional buyers and governments increasingly seek Bitcoin, they will need to purchase from current individual holders at higher prices, potentially creating a buying opportunity for those willing to hold long-term as supply becomes increasingly constrained.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Just Doubled Down On His $400,000 Price Target for Bitcoin. Here's Why He's Wrong.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong reaffirmed his $400,000 Bitcoin price target by 2030 during a podcast interview, citing the cryptocurrency's four-year halving cycle. However, the article argues this target is unrealistic, requiring 48.2% annual compounding over four years and a market cap of $8.2 trillion—roughly five times today's value. While Armstrong's long-term logic about fixed supply and adoption is sound, the specific 2030 deadline appears overly optimistic given Bitcoin's shrinking cycle peaks.

Cardano Is Now Part of the AI Agent Economy. Does That Make ADA a Buy?

Cardano (ADA) has joined the x402 payment standard ecosystem for AI agents created by Coinbase, but the article argues this development doesn't justify buying the coin. Despite the integration, Cardano has only recorded 38,777 transactions compared to competitors Base (85M) and Solana (66.9M), and even if it captured all x402 payments, the revenue would represent only a small fraction of its market cap. Transaction fees have also declined significantly year-over-year.
