The post OKX Reportedly Eyes Coinone Stake Amid South Korea Crypto Race appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Global crypto exchange OKX is reportedly in talks with Korea Investment & Securities to take a major stake in Coinone, marking the latest shakeup in South Korea’s tightly regulated crypto exchange market.

The post XRP Compression Tightens as Volume Returns and Volatility Fades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP Tightens in Compression Zone as Volume Returns and Long-Term Structure Builds Momentum  According to market analyst Xaif Crypto, XRP is undergoing a tight compression phase, with price action coiling inside a narrowing consolidation range while trading volume shows early signs of returning momentum.  After a stretch of expansion and volatility, XRP now appears to be settling into a more neutral phase where neither bulls nor bears are clearly in control.  Price action is tightening into a defined range, reflecting fading momentum and growing indecision. In structural terms, this kind of compression often marks a transition zone where accumulation or distribution quietly builds in the background before the market commits to its next major move.  One of the clearest signals in this phase is the steady fade in volatility. Price movements are tightening on both sides, forming a
