Bullish XRP price prediction for 2023 is $0.5660 to $0.7095. Ripple (XRP) price might reach $2 soon. Bearish XRP price prediction for 2023 is $0.3567. In this Ripple (XRP) price prediction 2023, we will analyze the price patterns of XRP by using accurate trader-friendly technical analysis indicators and also predict the future movement of the cryptocurrency. Ripple (XRP) Current Market Status Current Price $0.4752 24 – Hour Trading Volume $1,733,493,377 24 – Hour Price Change 6.71% Down Circulating Supply 51,987,017,573 All – Time High $3.8419 (On January 04, 2018) XRP Current Market Status (Source: CoinMarketCap) What is Ripple (XRP)? Ripple (XRP) is the native crypto of the XRP Ledger (XRPL). XRPL is an open-source public blockchain launched in 2011 by Ripple, a blockchain-based payment system. XRP is used as a transaction fee on the native network and a potential payment and investment option. Ripple captivated the interest of investors with its distinct consensus protocol. It functions based on a federated consensus mechanism to validate transactions. The network allows any user to use the validation software and verify transactions according to their “unique node lists”. Thus, transactions are validated onto the ledger within 4-5 seconds at lower costs. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2023 Ripple (XRP) ranks 6th on CoinMarketCap in terms of its market capitalization. The overview of the Ripple price prediction for 2023 is explained below with a daily time frame. XRP/USDT Horizontal Channel Pattern (Source: TradingView) In the above chart, Ripple (XRP) laid out a horizontal channel pattern, also known as the sideways trend. In general, the horizontal channel is formed during price consolidation. In this pattern, the upper trendline, the line which connects the highs, and the lower trendline, the line which connects the lows, run horizontally parallel and the price action is contained within it. A horizontal channel is often regarded as one of the suitable patterns for timing the market as the buying and selling points are in consolidation. At the time of analysis, the price of Ripple (XRP) was recorded at $0.5051. If the pattern trend continues, then the price of XRP might reach the resistance levels of $0.5452 and $0.7261. If the trend reverses, then the price of XRP may fall to the support of $0.4129. Ripple (XRP) Resistance and Support Levels The chart given below elucidates the possible resistance and support levels of Ripple (XRP) in 2023. XRP/USDT Resistance and Support Levels (Source: TradingView) From the above chart, we can analyze and identify the following as the resistance and support levels of Ripple (XRP) for 2023. Resistance Level 1 $0.5660 Resistance Level 2 $0.7095 Support Level 1 $0.4406 Support Level 2 $0.3567 XRP /USDT Support and Resistance Levels As per the above analysis, if Ripple’s (XRP) bulls take the lead, then it might hit and break through its resistance level of $0.7095. Conversely, if Ripple’s (XRP) bears dominate the trend, the price of XRP might plunge to $0.3567. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2023 — RVOL, MA, and RSI The technical analysis indicators such as Relative Volume (RVOL), Moving Average (MA), and Relative Strength Index (RSI) of Ripple (XRP) are shown in the chart below. XRP/USDT RVOL, MA, RSI (Source: TradingView) The technical analysis indicator Relative Volume (RVOL) is used to measure the trading volume of an asset in relation to its recent average volumes. It is typically calculated by dividing the current day’s trading volume by the average volume over a specified period, such as the past 20 or 50 trading days. Also, it helps traders identify unusual trading activity and changes in market sentiment. At the time of analysis, the RVOL of Ripple (XRP) was found below the cutoff line. Thus, it denotes a weak volume of participants trading in the current trend. The next technical indicator is the Moving Average (MA). This momentum indicator is used to smooth out price data and identify trends in the market. It helps in calculating the average price of an asset over a specific period. Particularly, the 50-day moving average (50 MA) evaluates the average closing price of the asset over the past 50 days. When the price of an asset is above 50MA, it is considered to be in an uptrend (bullish), and if laid below 50MA, it is in a downtrend (bearish). Notably, in the above chart, the XRP price lies above 50 MA (short-term), indicating its upward trend. Hence, XRP is in a bullish state. Although this is the current state, a trend reversal might occur. Next up is the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Significantly, this analysis indicator helps traders to determine the strength and momentum of an asset’s price movement over a specific period. In this analysis, the RSI is calculated by comparing the average gains and losses of the asset over the past 14 periods. The resulting value lies between a range of 0 and 100. Hence, the readings above 70 indicate an overbought state, and below 30 indicate an oversold state. Significantly, traders often use the RSI to identify potential trend reversals or to confirm the trend’s direction. For instance, if an asset is in an uptrend and the RSI reaches an overbought reading of 70, it may suggest that the asset is due for a pullback or correction. Conversely, if an asset is in a downtrend and the RSI is in an oversold reading of 30, it may suggest a potential reversal. At the time of analysis, the RSI of XRP is at 54.16. Therefore, this indicates XRP is neither overbought nor oversold. However, XRP sends out a buy signal. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2023 — ADX, RVI In the below chart, we analyze the strength and volatility of Ripple (XRP) using the following technical analysis indicators – Average Directional Index (ADX) and Relative Volatility Index (RVI). XRP/USDT ADX, RVI (Source: TradingView) To analyze the strength of the trend momentum, let us take note of the Average Directional Index (ADX). The ADX value is derived from the two directional movement indicators (DMI) such as +DI and -DI and is expressed between 0 to 100. According to the data on the above chart, the ADX of XRP lies in the range of 28.89 pointing out a strong trend. The above chart also displays another technical indicator – the Relative Volatility Index (RVI). This indicator measures the volatility of an asset’s price movement over a specific period. With respect to the chart’s data, the RVI of XRP lies above 50, indicating high volatility. Comparison of XRP with BTC, ETH Let us now compare the price movements of Ripple (XRP) with that of Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH). BTC Vs ETH Vs XRP Price Comparison (Source: TradingView) From the above chart, we can interpret that the price action of XRP is similar to that of BTC and ETH. That is, when the price of BTC and ETH increases or decreases, the price of XRP also increases or decreases respectively. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2024-2030 With the help of the aforementioned technical analysis indicators and trend patterns, let us predict the price of Ripple (XRP) between 2024 and 2030. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2024 If bulls dominate the price momentum and trend patterns, then Ripple (XRP) might successfully test and surpass its resistance levels to hit $3 by 2024. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2025 The significant upgrades in the Ripple ecosystem might persuade the entry of an increased number of investors. This may eventually boost the Ripple (XRP) price to reach $5 by 2025. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2026 If Ripple (XRP) successfully tests its major resistance levels and continues to move upside, then it will rally to hit $7. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2027 If Ripple (XRP) sustains major resistance levels and stands as a better investment option in the market, then XRP will rally to hit $9. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2028 If Ripple (XRP) holds a positive market sentiment amid the highly-volatile crypto market by driving significant price rallies, then XRP will hit $11 by 2028. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2029 If investors flock in and continue to place their bets on Ripple (XRP), then the crypto will witness major spikes. Hence, XRP might hit $13 by 2029. Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction 2030 By 2030, the XRP price might rally to $15 if the trend momentum aligns in favor of Ripple. Furthermore, XRP would hold a positive market sentiment and be labeled as a long-term investment with highly profitable ROI. Conclusion If Ripple (XRP) establishes itself as a good investment in 2023, this year would be favorable to the cryptocurrency. In conclusion, the bullish Ripple (XRP) price prediction for 2023 is $0.7095. Comparatively, the bearish Ripple (XRP) price prediction for 2023 is $0.3567. If there is a positive elevation in the market momentum and investors’ sentiment, then Ripple (XRP) might hit $2.

The ApeCoin decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) has sparked a debate regarding the six-figure annual salaries received by its Special Council members. ApeCoin is the native currency of the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem and is governed by the ApeCoin DAO, consisting of ApeCoin holders. On June 10, the ApeCoin DAO secretary, “Vulkan,” unveiled an organizational chart on Twitter, disclosing the salaries of the DAO’s leadership. The disclosed monthly compensations ranging from $7,000 to $75,000 surprised and prompted inquiries from the community. Compensation Dispute Deepens Twitter users began questioning the leadership compensation, particularly the substantial six-figure payments to Special Council members. Critics argued that Yuga Labs, the creator of ApeCoin, was solely responsible for the success. And attributing little value creation to the DAO. In contrast, supporters defended the salaries as fair, highlighting their alignment with mid-range compensation for high-end tech roles. Special Council members, including prominent figures like Alexis Ohanian and Yat Siu, justified the compensation. They compared it to that of public company directors. They emphasized the responsibility and liability associated with their roles. However, dissenting voices proposed a re-evaluation of the salary structure, advocating for a 50% reduction for the Special Council. Others demanded a “competency check” to ensure that those actively contributing to the DAO filled the leadership positions. Finally, The ongoing debate highlights the challenge of striking a balance between appropriate compensation for leadership roles and addressing concerns about value creation within the ApeCoin ecosystem. As discussions continue, they will shape the future of compensation within the DAO and its commitment to decentralized governance.
 
Solana shifts its focus from DeFi to consumer applications. Differentiation and user retention are crucial for Solana’s growth. Solana’s journey presents a striking contrast in an era where decentralization dominates. Besides its initial success in Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Solana’s total value locked (TVL) saw a depreciation since the dawn of 2022. Consequently, this downturn does not equate to a demise. Instead, it reflects a significant shift in Solana’s strategic focus, veering from DeFi toward consumer applications. Solana’s TVL vs Competitors’ TVL (Source: Messari) Significantly, this transition reflects changing user preferences. As per Messari’s report, the platform’s user activity observed a decline in DeFi applications, with a corresponding surge in consumer protocols. The key players driving this shift offer insights into Solana’s current state and illuminate its potential future. Championing New Spaces: NFTs and Consumer Apps Take tensor_hq, for instance. This leading NFT trading platform on Solana has made waves in the NFT community. Its innovative features, feeless trading, and unique airdrop mechanism have caught significant attention. Moreover, the rise of NFT lending platforms like SharkyFi has altered the financial dynamics surrounding NFTs on Solana, demonstrating impressive retention rates. Additionally, Solana houses Saydialect, a messaging platform that capitalizes on the network’s NFT compression capabilities. With its high retention rates and new partnerships, Saydialect epitomizes the potential for consumer applications within Solana’s ecosystem. Navigating the Future: Differentiation and User Retention Solana’s journey from DeFi protocols to consumer-centric applications indicates a transformative shift in its application ecosystem. The platform’s infrastructure advantages and low unit costs position it favorably for consumer apps. However, for Solana to sustain growth and retain its competitive edge, differentiation, and user retention emerge as pivotal factors. To sum it up, Solana’s strategy to embrace unique user experiences instead of solely focusing on DeFi protocols marks a significant evolution in the crypto landscape. With an eye on emerging consumer applications, Solana is carving a new niche in the crypto world. Time will tell how this transition shapes Solana’s future and the broader blockchain industry.

The U.S. SEC said it had not yet determined what to do about the rulemaking petition. The SEC has responded to the court’s order from June 6 asking for a reply. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the top financial regulator in the United States, responded to Coinbase’s writ of mandamus on Tuesday. It would seem that the commission is not in the mood to issue sensible new rules. According to the court document, the U.S. SEC said it had not yet determined what to do about the rulemaking petition. The order, it was noted, makes reference to SEC Chair remarks and enforcement actions but does not indicate a determination to reject the exchange’s rulemaking petition. The commission has requested an extension of time before it must respond to the request for crypto-related clarification. No Precise Date Committed Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s chief legal officer, said that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has repeatedly stated the falsehood that it has not chosen to move to implement new crypto regulations. Despite a court’s specific ruling, the commission has totally failed to commit to any precise date. Despite repeated assurances from the commission’s chair that new, unambiguous guidelines will be issued, the panel has shown no signs of acting on such assurances. Moreover, the chief legal officer of Coinbase pointed out that the SEC had centered on the evidence of a decision from those statements that argued that the communication was the decision. The SEC has responded to the court’s order from June 6. Asking the commission to state whether it agrees with the regulation, disagrees with it, or wants more time to respond. However, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, Coinbase, was earlier this month charged with operating as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency by the commission.
