Leading digital asset research manager CoinShares says institutional investors are pouring money into altcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) in anticipation of XRP and Solana (SOL) exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In its latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, CoinShares finds that Bitcoin (BTC), which usually leads the pack in inflows, suffered outflows last week while certain altcoins enjoyed inflows. “This has raised the question of whether we are entering an ‘altcoin season.’ While inconclusive, there are some signs: Solana and XRP attracted substantial inflows of US$311m and US$189m respectively, with SUI also seeing US$8m. However, beyond these names, inflows tapered off quickly. Several altcoins saw outflows, including Litecoin (US$1.2m) and Bitcoin Cash (US$0.66m).” Source: CoinShares Overall, the digital assets investment products market saw $1.9 billion in inflows last week, the fifteenth week in a row of positive flows. ...

XRP hitting $700 might sound pretty far-fetched right now, but analyst JackTheRippler recently shared a roadmap showing how the token could actually reach $700+ by 2026. Various major market analysts have accelerated discussions around this projection, which starts with XRP trading near €7.60, then dipping to €3.40 within two weeks, before surging to €29.50 after a month and eventually climbing toward that $700 mark. The Roadmap to $700+ per #XRP: pic.twitter.com/hX71cfEIAx — JackTheRippler ️ (@RippleXrpie) September 28, 2025 At the time of writing, XRP is trading in the low single digits, and several key price movements would need to catalyze for this prediction to materialize. The whole thing raises questions about whether recent upgrades to the XRP Ledger and expanding institutional partnerships can support this kind of price movement, and also whether the broader crypto market can sustain such growth.

Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin has once again shook the cryptocurrency market, this time by offloading large amounts of meme coins he received for free in exchange for Ethereum and stablecoins. Blockchain data reviewed by Finbold from Etherscan shows that on September 28, Buterin’s wallet, vitalik.eth, sold 150 billion PUPPIES tokens for 28.58 ETH, worth approximately $114,700 at the time of the transaction.  In a separate swap, he also unloaded 1 billion units of an ERC20 memecoin for 13,889 USDC, securing just over $13,800.

Buterin has historically distanced himself from unsolicited memecoin allocations, often referred to as “airdrops,” by liquidating them quickly. His sales are typically interpreted less as a market call on the tokens themselves and more as...

The world’s largest crypto exchange platform by trading volume is adding support for a new blockchain focused on verifying and validating the outputs of artificial intelligence (AI) models. In a new announcement, Binance says that it will be adding support for Mira Network (MIRA), which was built over Base, the proprietary blockchain of top US-based crypto exchange Coinbase. “Binance is excited to announce that Mira (MIRA) will be added to Binance Simple Earn, ‘Buy Crypto,’ Binance Convert, Binance Margin, and Binance Futures.” News of the addition preceded a massive rise for MIRA, which went from a daily low of $1.22 to a price tag of $2.68 just a few hours later.

Argentina’s populist President Javier Milei is planning to dollarize the country’s economy to save the obliterated local currency, the peso. The idea was his key plank during the elections, where he repeatedly mentioned that the US dollar should take over the country’s finances. He is now mulling the ideology again, citing that the only solution to contain inflation is to make the USD the sole currency in the country. As the US dollar pushed the peso to new all-time lows, the central bank had to intervene and burn close to $1 billion since Wednesday to save the local currency in the forex markets. The large-scale sell-off is affecting the national financial system, and Milei suggested that Argentina must dollarize its economy to stop the damage. Milei explained that moving the national financial system to the US dollar would take close to four years. In addition, local banks would have to convert their overall portfolio to the USD and implement a dollar-compliant trans...

While pig butchering scams have been occurring for nearly a decade and often without involving cryptocurrency, the rise of crypto, stablecoins, and civil strife in Southeast Asia has caused the scams to proliferate, and, according to Project Brazen’s Whale Hunting newsletter, KuCoin Thailand is helping. The reporting is filled with bombshell allegations: secret investments into cryptocurrency mining companies, South African fixers offering private jet bribes, billions of dollars moving between scam centers in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, and KuCoin setting up its Thai subsidiary to serve the people and companies behind this pig butchering economy. Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra – who is currently in a prison hospital serving a sentence – is at the center of it all. The rise and fall of KuCoin Protos has previously reported on KuCoin’s legal problems, which include allegations of failing to implement proper know-your-customer and anti-money laundering ...
