    Ripple President Reveals Plan To Let Payment Customers Borrow Against XRP

    Ripple President Monica Long reportedly said at XRP Seoul on October 3 that the company plans to let payment customers use XRP held in lending pools as collateral for short-term financing. Eligible institutions could fund payment obligations without selling their underlying XRP. Ripple has reportedly begun testing the concept, with broader deployment targeted for 2027. The service is still in development, and no commitment to process trillions of dollars through XRP has been announced. Its impact will depend on institutional adoption, collateral requirements and implementation.

    XRP Wallets Cross 8.2 Million as Network Growth Accelerates

    XRP wallets have grown from around 5 million during the 2024 market cycle to more than 8.2 million. The increase adds over 3 million wallets to the XRP ecosystem within roughly two years. The figure reflects wallet growth but does not represent the exact number of individual holders, as users can control multiple wallets and exchanges can operate large numbers of addresses. Continued wallet creation could further expand XRP’s user base and change the distribution of holdings across the network.

    Stablecoin Market Cap Recovers $4B but Remains Below Previous Levels

    The stablecoin market is showing signs of recovery after losing $14 billion in market capitalization since May. Since September, the market cap has increased by $4 billion to around $270 billion. The rebound indicates that liquidity is gradually returning to the crypto market, but the pace remains limited. Stronger stablecoin inflows could provide additional liquidity for digital assets and support broader market activity. More capital would need to enter the market for liquidity conditions to strengthen further.

    XRP Rich List: 2,920 XRP Reportedly Puts Holders in Top 10%

    A recent XRP rich-list breakdown cited 2,920 XRP as the estimated threshold for entering the top 10% of XRP wallets. The same figures place 7,300 XRP in the top 5%, 10,000 XRP in the top 4%, 13,000 XRP in the top 3%, and 44,000 XRP in the top 1%. The figures matter for investors tracking wallet distribution. However, wallet rankings do not equal individual rankings because one person can control multiple wallets. These thresholds can also change as wallet balances evolve.

    Bitcoin Price Today: $90K Target In Sight After Wild Swing

    Bitcoin surged from $84,500 to $87,200 in just 15 hours, liquidating $216 million in short positions, before reversing sharply within an hour of weaker-than-expected unemployment data. Since then, Bitcoin has dropped $3,100, wiping out $278 million in long positions over five hours. Technical analysts are tracking the RSI closely as Bitcoin approaches resistance levels, with a break above the recent high near $87,300 potentially opening the path to $90,000. However, continued bearish divergence on the RSI could still signal this level marks a near-term top.

    SEC Approves First 3x Leveraged Bitcoin And Ether ETPs In The US

    The SEC greenlit a Cboe BZX rule change on October 2, allowing Volatility Shares to launch six futures-based ETPs offering three times the daily performance of Bitcoin, Ether, gold, silver, crude oil, or natural gas. The products reset daily, meaning sharp losses can hit fast in volatile or sideways markets, and trading won’t begin immediately pending a separate registration taking effect. Observers called it a major step in expanding regulated crypto access, a notable shift given the SEC was still fighting spot Bitcoin ETFs in court just three years ago.
