The post Chainlink Community Lead Slams Ripple-Kansas Deal, Calls XRP ‘Bank-Themed Memecoin’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ripple’s landmark five-year sports sponsorship with the University of Kansas may have delighted XRP enthusiasts, but not everyone within the cryptocurrency community is buying the hype. Zach Rynes, who is widely known as the Chainlink community lead, took to social media to slam what he perceives as a rather desperate marketing stunt. He believes that there is a disconnect between Ripple’s corporate actions and the retail investors holding its native token. Chainlink Community Lead Slams Ripple-Kansas Deal, Calls XRP ‘Bank-Themed Memecoin’ Ripple-Operated Rail Dropped by Major Software Company As reported by U.Today, Ripple recently announced that the XRP logo will be prominently featured on the uniforms of the Kansas Jayhawks’ football and basketball programs. In response to the announcement, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse celebrated it as a “rare moment w

The post XRP Holds Near $1.09 as Buyers Defend Key Support appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
XRP News XRP, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market value, is grinding lower against both the dollar and Bitcoin as sellers keep control of the broader trend. The altcoin continues to trade inside a well-defined descending channel on the daily chart, sitting below its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which now slope lower and cap rallies above $1.25. Buyers have repeatedly defended the pivotal $1 region since the token lost $1.25 in early June, turning that zone into the line that must hold. A clean break above $1.25 would open a path toward the 200-day average near $1.45, while a daily close under $1 risks a slide toward $0.80 and a deeper leg of this bear market structure. A structural demand driver has quietly taken shape on the XRP Ledger, where the number of commercial transactions executed entirely by autonomous software has crossed 1 million. On-chain data shows these settle

The post Beyond The XRP & Solana Hype: Why The Smart Money In 2026 Is Eyeing Decentralized AI Like Stargate LLM appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
XRP just landed a full EU regulatory license. Solana just posted its best weekly gain in a month. Both are proof that institutional capital keeps finding its way into established crypto infrastructure, even during a stretch when broader sentiment has been shaky. Somewhere else, a different risk is quietly building. Developers and businesses have built entire products on centralized AI APIs, exposed to pricing changes and model deprecations they never agreed to and can’t control. One policy decision made somewhere else can reshape a business overnight. For anyone assembling a shortlist of the best crypto to buy in 2026, that’s the gap worth understanding, and it’s exactly what Stargate LLM was built to close. Your Product Runs on Someone Else’s API. Nobody Prices That Risk In. You built your product on a centralized AI provider’s API. Then
The post XRP cleaned out leverage, now ETF demand has to prove itself appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
XRP’s late-June washout removed a major source of market instability: excess leverage that could have turned another sharp move into a liquidation cycle. The next test is harder because XRP now needs ETF and spot buyers to carry the market without rebuilding the same crowded futures trade. The rebound is now a test of real demand. XRP has moved away from the pressure zone that defined the late-June washout, when prior CryptoSlate coverage showed the token falling to $1.02, long liquidations accelerating, futures activity shrinking, and realized losses hitting the weakest reading since 2022. A market can stabilize after sellers run out, but a sustained rebound requires new buyers to step in. CryptoSlate’s XRP market data shows the token trading near $1.08, up about 2.7% over seven days, with a market value of about $67 billion. Coinglass data shows roughly $402 million in 24-hour s
The post XRP Ledger AI Hub Launches as Network Surpasses 1M Agentic Payments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ripple-backed t54.ai has announced the launch of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) in a bid to build an agentic economy on the network. This comes as the network surpasses 1 million agentic payments. XRP Ledger AI Hub Goes Live As Network Records New Milestone In an X post, the Ripple-backed firm announced the launch of the XRPL AI Hub, providing a single destination for agents, AI projects, tools, and payment services building on the network. The firm noted that the goal is to make the XRPL AI ecosystem easier to discover, navigate, and build on. “As more agents, merchants, and services come to XRPL, builders need one place to see what is live, what is possible, and where to contribute,” t54.ai said. The firm added that the hub starts with three core areas, including index, which involves live X402 payment activity on the XRP Ledger. Furthermore, the hub includes docs, SDKs, repos, an
The post Grok AI Predicts the Top Cryptocurrencies for 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Grok predicted that BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, and XRP will be on top by the end of 2026. Institutional adoption and regulatory clarity will boost Bitcoin’s chances to rally. Upgrades and role in DeFi, RWAs, and tokenization will constitute the tailwinds for ETH. Grok, the artificial intelligence assistance developed by xAI, has identified Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a handful of established players like Solana, BNB, XRP, and stablecoins as the safest bets to remain at the top of the crypto market echelon by the end of 2026. The AI solution responded to a prompt asking it to predict the crypto market’s future, noting that markets could see new highs, deeper corrections, or surprises from regulation, macro events, or tech shifts. BTC and ETH Dominate Crypto Markets Considering the current crypto market landscape, Grok noted that Bitcoin dominates with 55% – 58% share and a market cap of around $1.2 – $1
