XRP Sets 187% Boost: Ledger Points to Bullish Market

With transactions processed per ledger increasing by 187.9%, XRP Ledger is displaying yet another anomalous change in network activity. The increase, when paired with XRPs recent price breakout, indicates that the network is managing significantly more activity at each ledger close, despite a decline in a number of key metrics.　　XRPs fundmental growth　　According to the most recent data, transactions per ledger are at 189.29, which is the network-activity indicator with the biggest positive change. Another indication that transactional demand is still high is the 19.3% increase in payments to roughly 568,100. It is necessary to qualify the underlying picture, though.　　XRP/USDT Chart by TradingView　　Successful transactions decreased by 16.3% to 914,100, while total transactions fell by 26.4% to 994,000. The number of closed ledgers decreased by 74.4% to 5,300, a much steeper decline. This helps explain the massive increase in transactions per ledger: the average number of transactions included in each ledger increases mechanically when there are fewer recorded ledger closes and significant transaction activity. Account statistics are likewise inconsistent.　　Number of active accounts rises　　While active accounts decreased 64.5% to 4,800 and newly created accounts decreased 77.7% to just 463, active users are still very high at approximately 478,300, up 157%.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Teases 30% Upside Backed by New Bullish Price Pattern

Dogecoins (DOGE) current price action has once again brought the coin into focus amid active market demand. After its recent vertical surge, DOGE moved into a narrow range, forming a Bullish Flag pattern on the hourly chart.　　Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez believes this pattern could increase the tokens price by one-third.　　Dogecoin (DOGE) forms a bullish flag pattern on the hourly chart. Source: Ali Martinez via X.comWhat happens next for DOGE: Two scenarios　　DOGE is currently trading within a narrow range of $0.087–$0.088, and Martinez divides the possible next move into two clear scenarios:Bullish scenario: An hourly candle close above the $0.090 resistance level would officially activate the pattern. This would open the way toward the nearest target at $0.115, representing a clean upside of around 30%. Above $0.090, historical sell-order density is virtually nonexistent all the way to $0.177, clearing the way for a rapid price move.Bearish scenario: A break below $0.081 would completely invalidate the bullish flag setup. In this case, sellers would regain control, and the price could correct toward the long-term bottom of the broader descending wedge in the $0.056–$0.060 range.　　The main technical factor working against a deeper decline is the strong on-chain foundation. The $0.081 level has

Nearly 70% of Bitcoin's Supply Now in Profit

Bitcoins recent price breakout that saw it briefly touch $80,000 from a low of around $62,000 within just a week has helped most of its investors recover from their losses.　　Following the major price comeback, recent analysis showcased on crypto analytics platform CryptoQuant shows that 69% of its supply is now sitting in profit.　　Bitcoin supply metric not entirely bullish　　Notably, having such a large share of its supply in profit provides a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, as it suggests that many Bitcoin holders are back above their purchase prices, which tends to strengthen investors confidence.　　However, it appears that this is not entirely the case, as the broader Bitcoin supply-based metric paints a mixed picture that has sparked concerns among market analysts.　　Previous data shows that Bitcoins supply in profit has remained above 50% for most of the current cycle, which does not make it particularly unique to the recent market rally.　　Notably, the metric only dipped below that level for 15 days, particularly before the recent rally in July.　　While Bitcoins supply in profit has always remained at a majority share, the data shows that the high percentage was fueled by Bitcoin tokens that have remained dormant for years, some of which will stay in

California Senate passes bill to ban memecoin issuance by public officials

California lawmakers passed a bill restricting public officials involvement with memecoins, citing concerns around conflicts of interest and “pay-to-play arrangements.”　　The California Senate passed Assembly Bill 2409 in a 40-0 vote on Wednesday, according to Legiscan data. The Assembly subsequently voted 78-0 to concur in the Senate‘s amendments. The bill entered the enrolled stage and awaits the governor’s signature.　　The bill would prohibit digital asset service providers from offering California residents memecoins issued on or after Jan. 1, 2027, that are offered by or in partnership with federal public officials or state or local public officers. The bill defines memecoins as digital assets whose value is derived primarily from public interest, speculation or community engagement.　　Investors in the US president-linked Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin are an estimated $3.2 billion underwater, with most of those losses unrealized, according to a Thursday report from nonprofit consumer advocacy organization Public Citizen.　　The TRUMP token ranks as the fifth-largest memecoin with a $688 million market capitalization. The token rose 53% during the past week, recouping some of the losses from its 67% decline over the past year, according to CoinMarketCap.　　The Trump familys crypto ventures have also raised obstacles to passing the US crypto market structure bill known as

A zero-revenue public company tried to copy Michael Saylor to avoid delisting, but its stock immediately crashed 25%

Alpha Modus shares fell 25% after the company agreed to issue more than 10 times its existing share count for Bitcoin.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $79,421.41 24-hour change: up 0.14% 24H Up 0.14% 7D Up 2.74% 30D Up 23.59%　　The Nasdaq-listed company said 10 non-US investors would contribute 3,170 BTC in exchange for 51.62 million Class A shares and warrants covering another 51.62 million shares, according to an Aug. 27 SEC filing.　　The agreement values the Bitcoin at $71,000 each, implying about $225.1 million of consideration. The transaction has been signed but has not yet closed, meaning the Bitcoin has not been transferred and the new securities have not been issued.　　Alpha Modus had about 4.99 million Class A shares outstanding under the agreements Aug. 24 capitalization table. Issuing the initial 51.62 million shares would lift that total to roughly 56.61 million and reduce the pre-deal shares to about 8.8% of the enlarged base.　　That means the company would issue about 10.35 new shares to the Bitcoin investors for every existing Class A share.　　The warrants could add another 51.62 million shares if exercised at $4.36 over their two-year term, creating a second layer of potential dilution.
