XRP Price Stalls Near $1.42 as ETF Cash Runs Into a Fed Problem

XRP Price Stalls Near $1.42 as ETF Cash Runs Into a Fed Problem

XRP edged down to around $1.42 on Wednesday, paring this week’s earlier gains. Flows into XRP-linked funds continued, but the token still dropped about 1% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Market capitalization stood near $88 billion, with daily trading volume close to $2.29 billion. Here's where things stand: traders are seeing renewed interest in XRP investment vehicles, but the price action hasn’t really kicked in yet. U.S.-listed spot XRP ETFs—funds that actually hold XRP and trade on exchanges—pulled in $25.8 million on Monday. That’s the largest single-day haul since January, according to CoinDesk. So far, these funds have attracted roughly $1.35 billion altogether.

Crypto ATM Crackdown Spreads as $389 Million Scam Losses Put Kiosks in Crosshairs

SPOKANE VALLEY, Washington, May 13, 2026, 06:01 PDT Spokane Valley has outlawed virtual-currency kiosks, stepping up from issuing warnings to outright removal as police linked the devices to a sharp uptick in fraud and a suicide. Operators now have 30 days to get rid of the kiosks or risk a $250 fine and potential license trouble. “Those kiosks are a tool to facilitate scams,” Police Chief Dave Ellis said.

USBC Stock Spikes as a Thin Float Turns a Tokenized-Deposit Bet Into a Momentum Trade

USBC Stock Spikes as a Thin Float Turns a Tokenized-Deposit Bet Into a Momentum Trade

USBC, Inc. shot up Tuesday, changing hands around $0.81 in recent action after starting out at $0.58. The stock touched $0.8824 earlier. Volume? More than 71.5 million shares—a massive surge for a stock that's typically much quieter. This move stands out, lacking any new company news to explain it. On USBC’s investor-relations page, the latest press releases are still April 2, March 31, and January 26. SEC filings? Last one’s May 1. So, today’s spike seems to hinge more on trading dynamics and traders circling back to the story—there’s no fresh revenue figure, product rollout, or signed agreement disclosed today.

The AI Memory ETF That Beat Bitcoin Mania Just Hit $6.5 Billion in 36 Days

The AI Memory ETF That Beat Bitcoin Mania Just Hit $6.5 Billion in 36 Days

Roundhill Investments’ Memory ETF, trading under the ticker DRAM, has ballooned to $6.5 billion in assets under management just 36 days post-launch—a blistering pace that highlights heavy demand for exposure to memory chip makers in the AI hardware boom. On this day, shares changed hands at $52.44 in New York, slipping roughly 4.8% after an earlier surge. This shift is worth noting: the AI rally isn't sticking just to Nvidia or the usual chip ETFs anymore. Focus is tilting toward supply chain areas considered tight. DRAM zeroes in on firms producing high-bandwidth memory—that’s the speedy memory paired with AI processors—plus NAND storage and dynamic random-access memory, both crucial for shuttling data to chips.

MARA’s Bitcoin Loss Meets an AI Power Bet as Traders Look Past the Miss

MARA’s Bitcoin Loss Meets an AI Power Bet as Traders Look Past the Miss

MARA Holdings looked split on Tuesday morning, with shares at $13.39 before the U.S. market opened—up about 3.6%. Bitcoin hovered near $80,726, down a bit. Riot Platforms, CleanSpark, and Core Scientific all showed gains too, though not by the same amount. For MARA, the story is still Bitcoin mining, at least as far as the market’s concerned, despite management’s push for a broader energy-backed data infrastructure label. The knee-jerk reaction to the earnings drop was swift, with shares sliding after hours Monday as MARA came up short on both revenue and profits. The regular-session rally was erased. Sherwood posted $174.6 million in revenue—well below the $181.9 million FactSet consensus—and booked a net loss of $1.3 billion, or $3.31 per share. Yet by morning, the stock bounced. Traders, it seems, weren’t buying into the quarter’s details; they were latching onto the underlying pivot.

The Bitcoin ATM Ban Wave Hits Spokane Valley After Crypto Kiosk Scam Losses Surge

On May 5, the city council signed off unanimously on Ordinance 26-005, creating a new chapter in the municipal code to officially ban the kiosks.

Ripple’s $200 Million Neuberger Deal Puts Wall Street Credit Behind Crypto Margin Trading

Ripple’s $200 Million Neuberger Deal Puts Wall Street Credit Behind Crypto Margin Trading

Ripple Prime has landed a $200 million debt facility via funds managed by Neuberger Specialty Finance, boosting its ability to finance institutional trading across both traditional and digital assets, according to the company’s statement Monday. Bloomberg noted the new line of credit will let Ripple expand margin offerings to investors in equities, fixed income, and crypto. The deal’s significance today comes as crypto prime brokerage shifts from simply handling trades to taking on balance-sheet operations. Ripple says its Ripple Prime unit has seen revenue triple year over year since buying the platform in 2025, driven by increased client engagement and a pickup in demand for institutional-level financing.

Circle Internet Group Stock Faces a Big Q1 Earnings Test as USDC Stablecoin Rules Shift

Circle Internet Group Stock Faces a Big Q1 Earnings Test as USDC Stablecoin Rules Shift

Circle Internet Group will release its first-quarter numbers ahead of Monday’s opening bell, drawing investor attention as lawmakers in Washington gear up for another round of crypto regulation talks. The company issues USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. Timing is key here. On May 14, the Senate Banking Committee is set to take up the Clarity Act—a bill aimed at clarifying which U.S. agencies regulate pieces of the crypto space. According to Reuters, there's a compromise in the works: the bill would block customer rewards for simply holding idle stablecoins, but still permit rewards linked to uses like payments.

IREN Limited’s Nvidia Deal Rewrites The Bitcoin-Miner AI Cloud Trade

IREN Limited’s Nvidia Deal Rewrites The Bitcoin-Miner AI Cloud Trade

IREN Limited is doubling down on its pivot from bitcoin mining to AI cloud, locking in a $3.4 billion, five-year cloud-services deal with Nvidia. The company also secured a broader agreement to roll out as much as 5 gigawatts of Nvidia-based AI infrastructure throughout its data-center pipeline. Timing is key here. In the middle of an AI boom that’s squeezed both power and available data-center real estate, Nvidia’s agreement lands IREN a flagship customer — and maybe a future backer. Nvidia secured an option to pick up as many as 30 million IREN shares over five years, each priced at $70, potentially totaling $2.1 billion. The plan, of course, will need regulatory signoff and other conditions.

XRP ETFs Just Hit $1.32 Billion—Why Ripple’s Bank Test Matters Now

XRP ETFs Just Hit $1.32 Billion—Why Ripple’s Bank Test Matters Now

U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds have now pulled in around $1.325 billion in cumulative net inflows, riding momentum from a May rebound that’s kept attention on Ripple-linked assets—even though the token remains well below last year’s peak. On May 8, fresh inflows totaled $6.04 million, according to SoSoValue data cited by Bitget, with only the Canary XRP ETF seeing net new money that session. Timing is key here. The recent inflows landed just days after Ondo Finance announced that Ripple, Mastercard, and Kinexys by J.P. Morgan wrapped up a pilot redeeming tokenized U.S. Treasuries—those are blockchain-based records linked to short-term government debt—moving them across both public blockchains and traditional bank rails.

BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Hits an Ethereum Turning Point as Tom Lee Signals Slower Buying

BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Hits an Ethereum Turning Point as Tom Lee Signals Slower Buying

Thomas “Tom” Lee, chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies, says the crypto-treasury outfit could dial back its weekly ether buying as it approaches its aim of holding 5% of the token’s total supply. Ether operates on the Ethereum network. BitMine is suddenly one of the purest U.S.-listed Ethereum plays out there. The company reported on May 4 that it’s sitting on 5,180,131 ETH—that’s 4.29% of the entire supply—along with 200 bitcoin, $700 million in cash, and positions in Beast Industries and Eightco. All told, BitMine’s crypto, cash, and other assets add up to $13.1 billion.

Strategy Inc Bitcoin Sale Signal Puts Michael Saylor’s MSTR Stock Back in the Spotlight

Strategy Inc Bitcoin Sale Signal Puts Michael Saylor’s MSTR Stock Back in the Spotlight

TYSONS CORNER, Virginia, May 9, 2026, 18:04 Michael Saylor, executive chairman at Strategy Inc, tried to recast a potential bitcoin sale as a tactical move to shore up the company’s capital structure—rather than a step back from its bitcoin-focused playbook—after he floated the idea that Strategy could “sell some Bitcoin to fund a dividend.” His comments come as others with bitcoin on their balance sheets, like Nakamoto, Empery Digital, and Sequans, have already trimmed their bitcoin stashes amid the latest crypto slide.

Bitcoin Holds $80,000 as ETF Outflows Put Rally Back on Trial

Bitcoin Holds $80,000 as ETF Outflows Put Rally Back on Trial

Early Saturday, Bitcoin hovered just under $80,000, steadying after back-to-back sessions of outflows from U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs that had put pressure on the crypto’s most recent climb. Bitcoin changed hands near $80,391, dipping as low as $79,563 and touching $80,602 on the day, market data showed. That price action kept the token sitting above a key level—one that’s turned into a litmus test for how much institutional interest can offset profit-taking after the earlier sharp rally.

XRP Price Faces a Critical Test as U.S. Crypto Bill Moves and Network Activity Slumps

XRP Price Faces a Critical Test as U.S. Crypto Bill Moves and Network Activity Slumps

XRP hovered around $1.42 on Saturday, with investors sizing up a renewed regulatory drive out of Washington and noting a steep drop in XRP Ledger activity — the blockchain that underpins Ripple’s payment system. The token posted gains over the last 24 hours. Still, the backdrop isn’t straightforward: mounting hopes for legal clarity are mixing with signs of softer newcomer growth. The timing is key: the Senate Banking Committee is set for a May 14 executive session to take up H.R.3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025. The legislation aims to clarify how securities and commodities regulations apply to digital assets—a central question for XRP and other major tokens.

Antelope Enterprise Stock Jumps After Bitcoin ‘Genius Plan’ Triggers a $95,000 Buyback

Antelope Enterprise Stock Jumps After Bitcoin ‘Genius Plan’ Triggers a $95,000 Buyback

Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited reported Friday it had locked in $190,000 in gains through its Bitcoin-centric “Genius Plan,” committing $95,000 of that toward a share buyback. The modest repurchase triggered a disproportionately strong reaction from the market. This is notable because Antelope, a microcap, is connecting its share buyback straight to profits from Bitcoin—essentially flipping a crypto trading windfall into a payout for shareholders. Shares on Nasdaq jumped roughly 275% to $1.91, putting the company’s market cap near $13.1 million. Intraday volume? More than 162 million shares traded.

Coinbase Stock Slides After Surprise Q1 Loss: Crypto Slowdown Hits The Exchange

Coinbase Stock Slides After Surprise Q1 Loss: Crypto Slowdown Hits The Exchange

Coinbase Global Inc. swung to another quarterly loss, its second in a row, as softer crypto markets battered trading revenue and shrinking crypto asset values weighed on results. The exchange posted a net loss of $394.1 million for the first quarter, or $1.49 per share—down from a $65.6 million profit in the same period last year. Friday’s U.S. market open looms with pressure on the company. The timing’s crucial: Coinbase is still the go-to gauge for risk appetite in digital assets. If traders—retail or institutional—pull back, the hit shows up almost instantly in transaction fee revenue, even as Coinbase leans harder into stablecoins, derivatives, and other tools to buffer the cycle. According to Reuters, digital-asset exchange volumes sagged early in 2026 as crypto prices slipped, financial conditions tightened, and macro jitters made investors cautious.

Coinbase Layoffs Hit 700 Jobs as AI Rebuild Intensifies Tech Worker Anxiety

Coinbase Layoffs Hit 700 Jobs as AI Rebuild Intensifies Tech Worker Anxiety

Coinbase Global plans to slash roughly 700 positions—about 14% of its worldwide staff—and pivot the business toward artificial intelligence, pushing forward one of the most visible tie-ins between layoffs and AI from a major U.S. tech-finance name. According to a regulatory filing, the restructuring is expected to wrap up in the second quarter, with projected costs of $50 million to $60 million, primarily for severance packages and termination payouts. This time, Coinbase isn’t chalking up the cuts to the usual crypto slump. CEO Brian Armstrong told staff that the company faces both sluggish crypto-market conditions and the rise of AI tools capable of boosting productivity for leaner teams. These AI agents—basically software bots—can handle things like code writing and testing, though humans still oversee the process.

XRP Price Today: Why the $1.40 Line Is Back in Focus for Traders

XRP Price Today: Why the $1.40 Line Is Back in Focus for Traders

Early Wednesday, XRP hovered near $1.43, up roughly 1.8% for the day and sticking above $1.40 after a burst of heavy selling earlier this week. Market capitalization was pegged at close to $88.5 billion by CoinGecko, which also showed 24-hour volume around $2.18 billion. This shift takes on new weight, with XRP caught at the intersection of price action, ETF interest, and U.S. regulatory noise—all converging on one trade. After days hovering between $1.38 and $1.41, the token is back in focus as a gauge for whether appetite for regulated crypto could extend past bitcoin and ether.

  • Swift TV (ASX:STV) gets 1,900 more device orders from Chevron, boosting presence at sites
    June 30, 2026, 10:33 PM EDT. Swift TV (ASX:STV) landed another order for 1,900 devices from Chevron, bringing the total at Chevron locations up to about 3,900 units. The latest deal covers Barrow Island and Wheatstone Offshore. Swift says the order will swap out old Swift systems and sees it as a key win for its commercial business. Chevron's repeat order puts Swift TV's platform past just certification and shows it is running at enterprise scale. The service, which went commercial in May 2026, has rolled out quickly in oil and gas camp settings. Chevron now uses Swift TV as its corporate standard, which Swift says could help attract more big resource firms.
