Top US Exchange Says This Could Be the Last Chance to Grab XRP at Current Low Prices: Heres Why

While XRP holds steady around the $2 mark after Bitcoin has made history, prominent market watchers believe June 2025 could change everything for XRP.According to Martin Hiesboeck, Head of Research at U.S.-based Uphold exchange, the stars may be aligning for XRP's next major breakout or its last calm before the storm.Notably, the optimism relies on three major events scheduled for June. Hiesboeck suggested that the current price range could be the final entry point before another powerful movement. The Uphold exchange itself also shared this sentiment in a follow-up commentary to Hiesboeck's analysis.Spot XRP ETF Decision as a Game-ChangerOne of the most closely watched dates is June 17, when the U.S. SEC could issue a ruling on Franklin Templetons spot XRP ETF application. After missing the original May decision window, anticipation has only grown. At least ten XRP ETF applications exist with a final decision timeline in October.Hiesboeck noted that a green light from the SEC could catapult XRP into the mainstream financial ecosystem, much like Bitcoin surged after its ETF approvals in January 2024. While Ethereums ETF launch had less impact in mid-2024, proponents argue that XRP's unique utility in cross-border payments and increasing institutional attention could fuel a more dramatic price reaction.Feds June Meeting Could Trigger Altcoin SurgeRunning almost in parallel with the ETF decision is the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on June 1718. Here, traders are watching for potential interest rate cuts. Risk assets like crypto could benefit if the Fed adopts a more dovish policy in response to growing economic stress or global trade tension. Altcoins like XRP often outperform during liquidity-driven rallies, as investors rotate away from large-cap assets like Bitcoin in search of higher upside. Specifically, a rate cut could inject fresh momentum into the altcoin space.XRPL APEX Conference May Reveal Ripples Next Big MoveThe third piece of the puzzle is the XRPL APEX, an annual XRP developer summit scheduled for June 1012 in Singapore. The event will feature Ripple executives and leading builders discussing the future of the XRP Ledger (XRPL).The agenda hints at major updates, including integrations with artificial intelligence, cross-chain interoperability, DeFi, and real-world asset tokenization. According to Hiesboeck, if Ripple delivers any major product launches or partnerships, investor sentiment around XRP could soar, fueling a potential rally.The Window May Be ClosingXRP has already demonstrated its ability to move fast, jumping from $0.50 on U.S. Election Day 2024 to a high of $3.39 within just two months. Since then, it has consolidated between $2 and $2.50. During this time, many traders have been on the sidelines waiting for a clear signal. Meanwhile, Uphold summed it up, saying, "June could be make-or-break for XRP." As May draws to a close, Uphold suggests market participants may be seeing the final opportunity to acquire XRP at under $3. These three critical catalysts converging in a short span make market watchers believe the incoming month could mark XRP's new breakout point as seen in November 2024.https://twitter.com/UpholdInc/status/1925319693965172883

Stablecoins Could Solve $7T in Global Fees: Scaramucci

Stablecoins Could Solve $7T in Global Fees: Scaramucci

Stablecoins have the potential to cut transaction costs globally and strengthen the U.S. dollars global position, according to Anthony Scaramucci.Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, emphasized the strategic role of stablecoins and emerging crypto legislation during a recent appearance on CNBCs Squawk Box. While addressing Bitcoins price movement, he shifted focus toward how stablecoins could reduce global transaction costs and reinforce U.S. dollar dominance. Scaramucci underlined the bipartisan push behind new regulatory frameworks such as the Stable Act and the GENIUS Act.For context, the legislation, supported by industry stakeholders, sets regulatory guidelines for stablecoins, digital tokens typically linked to the U.S. dollar or similar assets.On Monday, the Senate approved the GENIUS Act in a 66-22 vote, moving forward legislation focused on crypto regulation. Despite earlier concerns from some Democrats over former President Donald Trumps involvement in digital assets, 16 ultimately backed the bill.Stablecoins Tied to U.S. Dollar Strength and Treasury DemandScaramucci noted that stablecoins like Circle and Tether are expanding their reserves with U.S. dollar-denominated assets, specifically U.S. Treasuries. He pointed out that Tether holds more U.S. Treasuries than countries like Germany or Japan. According to Scaramucci, this accumulation boosts demand for Treasuries and supports the global position of the U.S. dollar. He added that future legislation would likely expand these reserves further. This development aligns with a growing international financial strategy centered around U.S.-backed assets.Cost Reduction and Future Use Cases of Blockchain PaymentFurther into the conversation, Scaramucci stated that stablecoins could help cut the $7 trillion in global transaction fees, including credit card and wire transfer costs. He envisioned practical use cases, such as paying with stablecoins at venues like New Yorks Hunt and Fish Club to bypass high credit card fees. He supported U.S. efforts to retain crypto innovation domestically, contrasting the current administrations policies with what he described as speculative objections from the previous one.White House Confident in Senate PassageNotably, David Sacks, a senior adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump on both cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, indicated that the administration anticipates bipartisan support for the stablecoin legislation in the Senate. Speaking to CNBC on May 21 after a crucial vote where 15 Democrats sided with Republicans to overcome the filibuster, Sacks expressed confidence in the bills ultimate passage.

David Sacks Says Stablecoin Bill Could Generate Trillions in Demand for US Treasuries

David Sacks Says Stablecoin Bill Could Generate Trillions in Demand for US Treasuries

White House crypto advisor David Sacks says the U.S. could see a surge in demand for Treasuries "practically overnight" if the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill is passed.Specifically, he claimed the move could generate trillions of dollars in demand for U.S. government debt.From $200B to Multi-Trillion-Dollar MarketIn an interview on CNBC, Sacks emphasized that the current $250 billion stablecoin market is largely unregulated. He argued that once a legal structure is in place, the market could expand to the multi-trillion-dollar level, driven by global demand for dollar-backed digital assets fully collateralized by U.S. Treasuries.Notably, the GENIUS Act would require stablecoins to be fully backed by U.S. Treasuries or equivalent cash assets. It would also introduce anti-money laundering (AML) compliance standards and impose registration and auditing requirements for issuers exceeding $50 billion in market cap. At the moment, only Tether and Circle meet this rule.Sacks prediction is already partly due to market behavior. Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer, disclosed on May 1 that it holds nearly $120 billion in U.S. Treasury securities. Interestingly, this figure places it ahead of countries like the UAE and Germany among the largest holders of the government asset, according to U.S. Treasury data.This shows that even in the absence of regulation, stablecoin issuers are turning to U.S. Treasuries as a trusted reserve asset, a trend that could accelerate if the bill passes.Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan echoed Sacks optimism, stating that the bill could kick off a multi-year bull run in crypto markets. He projects the stablecoin sector could reach $2.5 trillion in no time, driven by institutional adoption and legal certainty.Meanwhile, other prominent commentators like Senator Bill Hagerty have an even bolder perspective. Hagerty asserted that stablecoin issuers could even emerge to be the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries.Senate Momentum on Stablecoin BillNotably, the stablecoin bill is gaining bipartisan momentum. The Senate voted 6632 to advance the legislation earlier this week, with 15 Democrats joining Republicans. The vote clears the path for a final vote, barring further amendments.Despite bipartisan support, the bill faces criticism from most Democratic lawmakers. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal have voiced concerns over potential conflicts of interest.Particularly, their concerns have been around World Liberty Financials USD1 stablecoin, which has ties to the Trump family.Blumenthal warned that the bill, if unchecked, could allow foreign entities to exploit U.S. financial infrastructure under the guise of decentralization. Warren criticized the legislation for not including stronger guardrails to prevent political entanglements.Meanwhile, Sacks declined to address the Trump family's concerns directly but emphasized that the bill would help maintain U.S. dollar dominance and modernize the countrys payment rails.

Kraken to Launch Tokenized Trading for Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia Stocks on Solana

Kraken to Launch Tokenized Trading for Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia Stocks on Solana

Kraken plans to tokenize and allow trading for about 50 Stocks and ETFs, including those of Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia, atop the Solana blockchain.The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Kraken, a major U.S.-based crypto exchange, is preparing to launch a new service that will let international users trade tokenized versions of over 50 popular stocks and ETFs. Among the big names on the list are Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia. Kraken to Leverage Solana for Tokenized StocksNotably, the service will roll out in markets across Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia in the coming weeks. However, the exchange has confirmed that it will not be available in the U.S.These digital tokens, which Kraken calls "xStocks," will be based on the Solana blockchain. Each token will represent a real share of the stock or ETF it tracks. Kraken's partner, Backed Finance, will buy and hold the actual stocks to back the tokens. For clarity, users will not own the physical shares themselves but can redeem the tokens for their cash value, helping keep prices in line with those of the real stocks.Remarkably, what sets this apart from traditional investing is that these tokens can be traded 24/7, even when U.S. stock markets are closed. Kraken says the goal is to give investors outside the U.S. a more affordable and flexible way to access American markets. Solving an Accessibility Problem According to the Wall Street Journal, Kraken's co-CEO, Arjun Sethi, pointed out that buying U.S. stocks from abroad often involves high fees and long processing times. This new setup seeks to address that.Kraken's plan also includes giving users more freedom over how they use these tokenized stocks. Eventually, investors may be able to move the tokens to personal crypto wallets or even use them on other platforms. Some might even use tokenized shares as collateral in crypto trading strategies.Interestingly, this kind of idea is not entirely new, as Binance launched a similar project in 2021 but shut it down soon after due to regulatory pressure. However, Kraken says it is working with local regulators to avoid those same issues. According to The Wall Street Journal, the company is actively trying to make sure the rollout meets the legal requirements in each country where the service will be available.Growing Tokenization TrendsMeanwhile, Kraken's announcement is just one piece of a much bigger trend. Over the past year, some of the world's biggest financial institutions have been moving into tokenized assets. In March 2024, BlackRock launched a digital liquidity fund on Ethereum that captured 30% of the $1.3 billion tokenized Treasury market in just six weeks. By July, that fund held $486 million in assets. Meanwhile, Citi partnered with SDX to explore tokenizing private equity, and HSBC launched tokenized gold for retail investors in Hong Kong.Other major institutions like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Nasdaq are also getting involved. JPMorgan's Onyx blockchain supports tokenized Treasuries and interbank payments, while Nasdaq teamed up with Verta to help bring tokenized assets into mainstream financial markets. JPMorgan also completed its first public tokenized Treasury transaction on Ondo earlier this month. Experts now expect that 80% of institutional investors will adopt tokenized assets by 2025.

While the agents are not required to meet any minimum sales goals, the Strategy aims to raise $2.1 billion via the offering. Plans to Buy More Bitcoins 2% of the gross proceeds will be paid to the sales agentsTD Securities, Barclays, and the Benchmark Company. The remaining proceeds will be channeled to general corporate purposes, including acquiring additional Bitcoins and other routine expenses. It has become common for Strategy to fund its Bitcoin purchases using proceeds raised through the sales of its stocks. Through this effort, Strategy has grown its Bitcoin holdings to 576,230 BTC. Strategys Bitcoin holdings represent 2.9% of BTCs circulating supply, which currently stands at 19.86 million coins. Strategy has been buying Bitcoin since August 2020 and is still poised to acquire more through the issuance of its STRF shares. The company has remained resilient in growing its Bitcoin stash despite reporting a Q1 2025 loss of $4.2 billion after adopting a new accounting method. Notably, the STRF offering is part of Strategy's latest fundraising plan, which was recently unveiled. Strategy aims to raise $42 billion to fund more Bitcoin buys by issuing $21 billion worth of fixed income and another $21 billion in common shares. Bitcoin Soars to New ATH Meanwhile, the timing of the latest offering comes hours after Bitcoin registered a new all-time high (ATH). The premier cryptocurrency set an ATH of $111,861 in the early hours of today. Although Bitcoin has retraced slightly to around $110,000, the firstborn crypto is still up 3.68% in the past 24 hours, 8.9% in the past week, and 22.72% in 30 days. At the moment, Bitcoin is changing hands at $110,859, boasting a market cap of $2.2 billion.

Two Stablecoins, MiCA-Compliant EURØP and Braza Groups USDB, Debut on XRP Ledger

Two new fiat-backed stablecoins, EURØP and USDB, have launched on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Their arrival follows the U.S. Senates advancement of the GENIUS Act, a bill focused on stablecoin regulation. Both digital assets aim to provide compliant, cross-border transaction solutions at a time of increasing scrutiny and regulatory clarity. MiCA-Compliant EURØP Introduced by Schuman FinancialNotably, European stablecoin finance firm Schuman Financial has launched EURØP on the XRPL as the first MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin to operate on this blockchain. https://twitter.com/thecryptobasic/status/1925493461702017414The company, regulated by the ACPR under the French Central Bank, confirmed that EURØP is fully backed by euros and redeemable. Additionally, KPMG audits its reserves, which are held at financial institutions such as Societe Generale.The integration positions EURØP as a euro-native settlement asset, supporting enterprise-grade blockchain activity. Over the past decade, the XRP Ledger has processed over 3.3 billion transactions and maintains more than 200 validators. With these capabilities, EURØP can support a wide range of use cases, including decentralized finance applications, tokenized real-world assets, and both B2B and B2C payments. According to Ripples Managing Director for UK & Europe, Cassie Craddock, this move aligns with Europes evolving regulatory environment and increasing institutional adoption.USDB Launches with Support from Braza GroupMeanwhile, Braza Group, a Brazilian financial services company, has introduced USDB, a USD-backed stablecoin that is now live on the XRPL. Pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, USDB is backed by U.S. and Brazilian government bonds. Braza reports that these assets undergo regular audits to ensure transparency and compliance. The company is already known for its operations in the Brazilian interbank market, moving over $1 billion in 24 hours this past April.USDB joins Brazas earlier stablecoin, BBRL, offering a unified infrastructure on XRPL. With both assets live, the company seeks to expand its blockchain-enabled financial services. Brazas CEO, Marcelo Sacomori, stated that the new stablecoin will help mitigate currency volatility and enhance transaction speed for local and international users.According to the firm, USDB facilitates swift, affordable global transfers, making it especially useful for individuals sending funds across borders or looking to safeguard their savings in a stable currency. Beyond remittances, it plays a key role in broadening access to digital finance, helping create a more inclusive and equitable financial ecosystem.

Sui Networks Largest DEX and Liquidity Provider Cetus Hacked for $260M

Cetus Protocol, the largest decentralized exchange on the Sui Network, suffered a major hack on Thursday, reportedly losing nine-figure funds.The prominent Sui-based DEX lost over $260 million to the hack today, the leading on-chain analytical firm Lookonchain confirmed. The hacker gained access and drained Cetuss liquidity pool, the report disclosed.Meanwhile, Cetus confirmed it detected abnormal activity on its protocol and has paused its smart contracts for safety. While the tweet did not explicitly state the platform was exploited, the team assured users it was investigating the situation.https://twitter.com/CetusProtocol/status/1925515662346404024Remarkably, data from the Cetus pool shows a spike in transaction volume. It has processed $2.9 billion in the past 24 hours, compared to the $320 million recorded a day before, confirming the unusual activity on the Cetus Protocol.Hacker Drains LiquidityFurther analysis of the exploit shows the hacker drained Cetus liquidity pool of millions in SUI and USDC. Notably, the protocol is the largest liquidity provider on the Sui blockchain.Oleksander Horlan, the CTO of on-chain security firm HackenProof, further elaborated on the hack. He noted that the exploiter swapped on Cetus using spoof tokens like BULLA and leveraged the miscalculated or broken price curve.https://twitter.com/d0rsky/status/1925513235987394721With the loophole, he manipulated the internal LP state and withdrew real assets like SUI and USDC while adding liquidity with a near-zero value. He also shared the address of the exploiter, which contained $75 million at the time of writing.Lookonchain also confirmed that the hacker was moving the stolen funds to Ethereum, first converting them to USDC before bridging them to the smart contract network. The exploiter has already cross-chained $60 million USDC through this method.Hacker Bridging Funds to EthereumSui-based Tokens CrashMeanwhile, many SUI-affiliated tokens have reacted adversely to the liquidity pool drain. BULLA crashed 60%, with other meme coins like SLOVE, Uni, and MEMEFI capitulating 93%, 77%, and 51%, respectively.CETUS, the native token of the Cetus Protocol, also fell 34%, as tension among market investors surged. Nonetheless, SUI remains largely stable, correcting just 2.37% in the past 24 hours.Crypto Community Rally Around SUI Amid the panic, major cryptocurrency players have rallied around the SUI ecosystem to show their support. For instance, Changpeng Zhao, Binances co-founder, confirmed in a tweet that the exchange is in contact with SUI and is doing its best to salvage the situation.He also confirmed that multiple blockchain security entities are already working with SUI and Cetus to provide possible solutions. Furthermore, Bybit also released a statement on the hack, stating its willingness to support the Sui network or Cetus in any feasible capacity.

Heres How a $5,000 Investment in XRP Today Could Grow in the Future

Versan Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, recently highlighted how a $5,000 investment in XRP today could appreciate over time.In a tweet, Aljarrah shared a chart simulating various price scenarios for XRP against a $5,000 investment. The most optimistic projection envisions a scenario where the investment multiplies by 15x, potentially growing to nearly $80,000.Notably, XRP is currently trading at $2.38. Based on this price, an investor could acquire approximately 2,101 XRP tokens for $5,000.Potential Returns from a $5,000 Investment in XRPAccording to Aljarrahs projections, a 3x price increase from the current level would boost the investment to $15,000, assuming the price of XRP rises to $7.14. Notably, over the past year, XRP's price has surged by 333%, supporting the possibility of such a move.Aljarrah also suggested that XRP could experience a 10x rally from its current level. This would raise the token's price to $23.80, increasing the value of a $5,000 investment to $50,000.At a price of $23.80, XRPs market capitalization would reach approximately $1.393 trillion. In a scenario where Ethereum does not see similar growth, especially if it remains below a $1 trillion valuation, XRP could potentially become the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.Interestingly, at that valuation, XRP would be more valuable than major corporations like Tesla, Berkshire Hathaway, Walmart, and JPMorgan.However, Aljarrahs projections do not stop at 10x. He emphasized that XRP could climb even further, possibly reaching 11x, 13x, and even 15x gains. In these hypothetical scenarios, XRPs price would rise to around $26.18, $30.94, and $35.70, respectively.The most ambitious projection of $35.70 would boost the $5,000 investment to approximately $75,000, yielding a $70,000 profit.Notably, an XRP price of $35.70 would imply a market capitalization of around $2 trillion. This would bring XRP close to Bitcoins current market cap of $2.12 trillion. It also suggests a scenario where XRP rivals tech giants like Google and Amazon in valuation.Aljarrah spreadsheet for XRP potential scenarios"That's Not Happening"Essentially, Aljarrahs post outlines a range of hypothetical scenarios that could unfold if XRP's price rises to trillion-dollar levels. However, he did not specify a timeline for when these projections might materialize.Meanwhile, some proponents expressed skepticism about these predictions. While some laughed at them as numerical speculation, others pointed to market cap constraints as limiting factors.Despite the skepticism, several technical analysts continue to express confidence that XRP could surpass $40 in the near future. One such analyst is South Koreas Elliott Wave expert XForceGlobal, who previously stated he would mock those who doubted XRPs potential to reach $20 once it eventually happens.Meanwhile, analysts like Chad Steingraber and Rob Cunningham have used fundamental analysis to support high price targets for XRP, ranging from $15 to $75.However, industry research from prominent firms like Bitwise suggests that it could take several years, possibly until the end of this decade, for XRP to reach prices between $12 and $30.

XRP Army Uncovers Ripples Hidden Road Link to $11T US Treasury Clearing Network

XRP Army Uncovers Ripples Hidden Road Link to $11T US Treasury Clearing Network

A recent discovery by XRP community members has shed new light on Hidden Road, the prime brokerage firm Ripple acquired in April.Specifically, it revealed that Hidden Road joined the Government Securities Division (GSD) of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC), part of the DTCC, as a member in March 2025, just weeks before Ripple officially announced the acquisition.The membership grants Hidden Road access to a clearing system that processes over $11 trillion in daily U.S. Treasury trades. XRP community member Matthew called attention to this development in a tweet.DTCCs GSD Clears Over $11 Trillion DailyAccording to a DTCC notice dated March 11, 2025, Hidden Roads membership became effective on March 14, under participant number #9388. This allows the firm to participate in netting (buy/sell), repo netting, and GCF Repo transactions, key components of how large-scale Treasury operations are cleared in the U.S.DTCC notice for Hidden Road membershipGSDs recent performance highlights the significance of this membership. Notably, it hit a record $9.2 trillion in daily volume on September 3, 2024, surpassing the previous high of $8.8 trillion in July.More recently, FICC confirmed clearing over $11 trillion in U.S. Treasury trades as of April 9, 2025, a new all-time high.The surge in activity comes in the wake of the SECs 2023 mandate requiring expanded central clearing for U.S. Treasury transactions. Before the rules finalization in December 2023, FICCs average daily volumes hovered around $4.5 trillion. By the end of that year, they rose to $7.2 trillion, and in 2024, they breached $10.4 trillion on peak days.Firms like Hidden Road are capitalizing on this trend. Ripple disclosed that Hidden Road clears over $3 trillion annually for more than 300 institutional clients. However, before the acquisition, settlement delays were a pain point.XRPs Place in Hidden Roads Trillion-Dollar MarketRipple aims to resolve this through integration with the XRP Ledger, which will handle post-trade operations. Specifically, XRPL will enable five-second settlements and greater transparency.Expectedly, this has sparked renewed speculation in the XRP community. Some enthusiasts believe that if the system adopts XRP for settlement, even for $1.5 billion daily, the tokens price would jump to $30. However, Ripples latest blog post clarified that XRP will not be for settlement.RLUSD Takes the Lead as Collateral AssetInstead, Ripple confirmed that its stablecoin RLUSD will be collateral on Hidden Roads platform. Since the XRP Ledger will be for infrastructure and post-trade processing, XRP's place will be in transaction fees.However, this revelation sparked debate within the XRP community. Some argue that RLUSD may be overtaking XRP as Ripples flagship asset in enterprise use cases.

Here is the Number of Shiba Inu Addresses Holding Trillions Of SHIB for More Than a Year

Despite Shiba Inu's recent price fluctuations, most investors have remained resilient, holding the token for more than a year.  The Bitcoin-led relief rally has positively impacted the prices of major assets like Shiba Inu (SHIB). Fresh data from CoinMarketCap shows that SHIBs price has soared by 5.87% over the past 24 hours to $0.00001542. However, its weekly performance is not impressive, as Shiba Inus price has only increased by 2.87% within this timeframe. Further, Shiba Inu has experienced a surge of 23.02% in the past 30 days. However, the canine-themed token is still down 27.1% year-to-date and 37.9% in the past six months. Despite this, investors' faith in the asset has not declined, with many anticipating a massive price spike in the future. The growing confidence in Shiba Inu is reflected in the number of long-term investors currently backing the token. Addresses Holding 787T SHIB for Over a YearFresh data from IntoTheBlock (ITB) confirms that there are about 1.45 million Shiba Inu on-chain addresses holding SHIB. Of this amount, 1.13 million addresses are long-term holders who have held Shiba Inu for over a year. Based on the duration of their holdings, ITB labeled them as holders. According to the data, these 1.13 million addresses hold a combined 787.39 trillion SHIB tokens, which represents 79.91% of the total 985.3 trillion SHIB held onchain. The data shows that most Shiba Inu investors are holding the token for the long term. Shiba Inu Addresses by OwnershipShiba Inu Addresses by OwnershipWhile IntoTheBlock suggests that 1.13 million addresses hold about 787.39 trillion SHIB tokens, it is worth mentioning that this data comprises both active and inactive tokens, including those in Shiba Inus official burn address.  The official burn wallet currently holds roughly 410.74 trillion SHIB tokens. Although these tokens have been permanently removed from circulation, they will still appear in on-chain data captured by blockchain analytics platforms like IntoTheBlock. Currently, Shiba Inu still has a circulating supply of approximately 589.25 trillion tokens. Short-Term SHIB Holders According to IntoTheBlock data, roughly 288,500 addresses have been holding a combined 171.59 trillion SHIB tokens for one to twelve months. Interestingly, ITB classified this category of Shiba Inu investors as cruisers. On the other hand, 25,760 addresses are short-term traders who currently hold about 26.33 trillion SHIB for less than a month. Shiba Inu Addresses by Time HeldShiba Inu Addresses by Time HeldThe significant number of long-term Shiba Inu holders and their holdings signal investors' optimism in SHIB. Despite short-term price fluctuations, these investors have held on to their SHIB assets for an extended period. Their confidence is mainly driven by Shiba Inus prospects for huge price spikes, as observed in the 2021 market cycle. Another factor fueling investors optimism in Shiba Inu is the optimistic price projections from top experts. Notably, most analysts, like Eunice Wong, predict that SHIBs price would climb to around $0.0001 this bull cycle, representing a surge of 548.5% from the current price. Shiba Inu Address Holdings in USD Meanwhile, IntoTheBlock also provided insight into the U.S. dollar value of investors Shiba Inu portfolios. Out of Shiba Inus total on-chain addresses, 203,500 hold SHIB worth less than $1, while 225,730 of these wallets control SHIB portfolios valued between $1 and $10. Nearly 568,000 addresses have Shiba Inu portfolios valued at around $10 - $100. About 350,900 addresses own tokens worth between $100 and $1,000, while 95,190 wallets hold SHIB worth $1,000 - $10,000. 11,310 address control portfolios containing SHIB worth $10,000 and $100,000 each. However, the number of addresses holding $100,000 worth of tokens and above is even lower.For instance, about 1,470 addresses hold SHIB valued between $100,000 and $1 million. In addition, 857 wallets hold SHIB worth $1 million to $10 million each. Only a few addresses, 71, hold Shiba Inu tokens worth $10 million and above. Shiba Inu Address Holdings in USDShiba Inu Address Holdings in USD
