XRP’s Secret Sauce: Speed, Scale & Strong Community

XRP‘s Biggest Strength？ Brad Garlinghouse Says It’s More Than Just Speed　　Brad Garlinghouse argues that XRP‘s edge isn’t driven by hype, but by proven real-world utility.　　In a special edition of , the Ripple CEO pointed out four standout strengths: over 4 billion transactions processed, settlement times of just 3–5 seconds, transaction fees of less than a penny, and a deeply committed community widely known as the XRP Army.　　More notably, this revelation brings the into focus because it was developed to address the long-standing inefficiencies in global payments. Through Ripples strategy, the focus has remained on making cross-border transfers faster, cheaper, and more reliable for both financial institutions and everyday users.　　As a result, the XRP Ledgerhas already processed over 4 billion transactions, signaling a network that has been tested in real conditions and proven consistent in an industry often driven by future promises.　　This utility-first approach is why supporters argue XRP has managed to stay relevant across multiple crypto market cycles while many other projects faded or shifted direction.　　Why XRP Still Stands Out: Speed, Low Fees, and the Power of the XRP Army　　Speed is one of XRPs biggest advantages. Transactions typically settle in just 3–5 seconds, a stark contrast to traditional cross-border banking

Almost 3,000 New XRP Ledger Users per Day: Can It Turn Around Trend?

As new user activity increases, along with a remarkably robust market structure, XRP is exhibiting fresh indications of network expansion. According to recent data from the XRP Ledger, account creation activity has remained high over the past month, and network-wide payment activity is still close to multi-month highs.　　XRP sees surge of fresh accounts　　The most recent metrics show that XRP Ledger recently registered about 2,649 new accounts in a single day. Simultaneously, the networks daily payment counts consistently surpass one million transactions, indicating consistent and active usage as opposed to sporadic speculative spikes.　　Source: XRP Ledger　　The timing is significant because, following months of weakness, XRPs market performance has also begun to improve technically. On the chart, XRP is currently trying to recover the 100-day EMA while consolidating around the $1.40-$1.45 range. A descending resistance structure that had limited price action since March was recently broken by the asset, indicating that bearish momentum is finally waning.　　Hyperliquid (HYPE) Loses $40 Threshold, Ethereum (ETH) Price Bounce Receives Boost, Shiba Inu (SHIB) Rally Struggles: Crypto Market Review　　Schwartz: Ripple Doesnt Control Consensus　　The structure appears much healthier than it did earlier this year, even though XRP has not yet fully entered bullish territory.

Tech　　XRP Ledger Whale Wallets Hit Record High Amid Accumulation　　XRP Ledger Wallet Growth Hits Record High as Large Holders Keep Accumulating　　Santiment Intelligence reports a major milestone for the XRP Ledger, with wallets holding over 10,000 XRP hitting an all-time high of 332,230.　　More notably, this consistent climb since June 2024 points to , suggesting long-term conviction rather than short-lived speculative activity.　　What makes this metric worth a keen eye is the profile of the holders behind it. Wallets holding 10,000 XRP or more are generally mid- to large-scale investors who tend to look past short-term volatility and focus on longer-term positioning.　　As a result, their steady growth points to strengthening conviction in XRPs role in digital payments and liquidity infrastructure, even through shifting market conditions.　　Another key takeaway is that despite , big players accumulation has continued to build quietly in the background. Rather than waiting for a decisive breakout, these holders appear to be positioning during periods of uncertainty and broader market hesitation, a pattern often seen in the early stages of longer expansion cycles.　　Santiment data also points to a brief disruption between February 6 and 8, when over 4,500 wallets holding 10,000+ XRP temporarily dropped out of the cohort. There was no XRP-specific

Dogecoin Fisher Transform Turns Bullish: The Last Setups Were Explosive

Tech　　Dogecoin Fisher Transform Turns Bullish: The Last Setups Were Explosive　　Dogecoins monthly Fisher Transform has crossed bullish again, according to trader Cantonese Cat, reviving a macro signal that has previously appeared near major DOGE basing periods rather than at clean, immediate breakouts.　　The chart, posted May 14 via X, shows DOGE near $0.1146 after a multi-month decline from its 2024 high, with the Fisher line turning up from deeply negative territory. The Fisher Transform is a technical indicator designed to convert price action into a more normalized distribution, helping traders identify potential reversals or major shifts in price behavior. In charting practice, a bullish flip typically refers to the Fisher line crossing above its signal line after an oversold trough. On a monthly chart, that makes it a slow regime signal, not a short-term trigger.　　Cantonese Cat framed the move cautiously. When another user asked, “2 more years to see god candle？ Looks like nothing happens when Fisher is under 0,” the trader replied: “It‘s true, it may consolidate for longer, but it depends on how impulsive liquidity goes. I’m OK with it being slow as long as it bottomed.”　　That distinction matters. The chart is less a call for an immediate vertical move

XRP Leans on Institutional Flows for 12% Price Breakout Push

XRP price (XRP) consolidates inside a falling channel handle, holding a setup that projects a 12% breakout target if institutional demand pushes the technical pattern over the neckline.　　Spot ETF inflows, smart money positioning, and a sharp drop in exchange selling pressure now stack behind the setup, raising the odds of a breakout against XRPs history of failed cup formations.　　XRP Price Builds a Bullish Pattern as Volume Cools　　The XRP daily chart shows a cup and handle pattern forming between April 17 and May 10. The cup was carved out over three weeks, and a falling channel has acted as the handle since May 10. The cup measures roughly 12% from rim to bottom, projecting a matching upside if the neckline breaks.　　Volume tells a constructive story. Selling volume across the handle has cooled while buyers have stepped in on dips, the kind of behavior that typically precedes a pattern continuation. Previous cup and handle setups on XRP, however, have failed to deliver, leaving execution as the open question. XRP is up 1.7% over the past seven days, suggesting buyers are holding the line without driving a fresh rally yet.　　Cup and Handle Setup: TradingView　　The next question is whether real institutional money is moving

US Dollar Index: Range-bound outlook with fiscal risks – BBH

Brown Brothers Harrimans (BBH) Elias Haddad notes the Dollar index (DXY) is consolidating near its 200-day moving average and is expected to stay within the 96.00-100.00 range. The firm highlights a supportive US macro backdrop for USD, but warns that rising Treasury yields and strained fiscal credibility pose a headwind. Markets fully price one 25bps Fed hike over the next year.　　Dollar supported but capped by fiscal strain　　“The dollar index (DXY) is consolidating recent gains near resistance at its 200-day moving average. The US macro backdrop (high inflation, stable labor demand) argues for the Fed to stay restrictive for longer which is USD supportive. The swaps curve virtually fully prices a 25bps Fed funds rate hike in the next 12 months.”　　“In parallel, US fiscal credibility is increasingly under strain as 10-year Treasury yields move closer to the roughly 5.3% pace of nominal GDP growth seen over the past decade. That narrows the buffer between growth and borrowing costs, raising concerns about debt sustainability and acting as an important headwind for USD.”　　“We expect DXY to remain anchored within its 96.00-100.00 range thats held for nearly a year.”　　“US consumer spending has been resilient so far, contributing to half the 2% annualized real GDP

Game Changer London 2.0: Trust, Ai And The New Architecture Of Decision-Making

In the heart of London, at the historic Royal Institution of Great Britain, more than 350 leaders, researchers and builders of the future gathered to explore a question that is no longer theoretical: what does the world look like when intelligence is distributed between humans and machines？　　London is no longer speculating about the future of artificial intelligence, it has become one of its live testing grounds. The second edition of Game Changer London transformed a single day into a dense, multi-layered map of emerging relationships between AI, trust and human behaviour. What began as a technological dialogue ended as a societal diagnosis: AI is no longer just a tool, but a layer of reality through which everything else is processed.　　The conference was opened by Dr. Vanja Ljevar, who set the tone with a simple but foundational statement: In a world where algorithms increasingly participate in decision-making, trust is no longer an emotional concept, it becomes infrastructure. Without it, no system, regardless of its technological sophistication, can remain stable.　　In The Future of Impact Investing, Joseph Tenzin Oliver and Samir Beg Ceric, moderated by Shirley Choo, explored a fundamental shift in capital logic: what does return on investment mean when AI systems

Gold Price Forecast: Stable at $4,700 as markets await news from Trump-Xi meeting

XAU/USD keeps consolidating without a clear bias after last weeks recovery from the after $4,500 area. The 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around the 50 line, hinting at a neutral tone, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains in negative territory but contracting, which suggests easing downside momentum.　　Immediate support remains at the weekly floor at around the $4,640 level, which is holding bears for now. A confirmation below here would lure sellers into a retest of the $4,500 level. Further down, the March 26 low near the $4,350 area comes next.　　On the topside, Mondays high around $4,750 is expected to challenge bulls, ahead of the mid-April highs in the area of $4,880. If that level is broken, the March 17 high, near $5,040, will appear on the horizon.　　Gold FAQs　　Gold has played a key role in human‘s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as

WTI Oil uncertain after Trump-Xi talks as IEA flags supply deficit

Finance　　WTI Oil uncertain after Trump-Xi talks as IEA flags supply deficit　　West Texas Intermediate (WTI) trades around $97.30 at the time of writing on Thursday, up 0.34%, in a trading day marked by elevated volatility. The US Crude Oil benchmark initially fell to as low as $95.50 following the markets first reaction to discussions between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, before erasing losses and returning to positive territory.　　The price reversal comes after White House officials described the meeting between the US and Chinese presidents as “good”, highlighting discussions aimed at strengthening economic cooperation. Both leaders also agreed that the Strait of Hormuz should remain open, a particularly sensitive issue for Oil markets given the strategic importance of the passage for global Oil trade.　　The comments reduced part of the geopolitical risk premium that had been built into energy prices in recent weeks. Markets were closely watching discussions regarding Iran, with Donald Trump expected to encourage Beijing to push Tehran toward a peace agreement and the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.　　Donald Trump also stated that he had held “extremely positive and constructive” discussions with Xi Jinping, while announcing that he had invited the Chinese leader to the
