The post Pro-XRP Lawyer Talks Ripple IPO Timing, Predicts $100B Valuation appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Speculation around a possible Ripple IPO is doing rounds on the internet, with many in the crypto community debating what such a move could mean for the price of XRP. Over the past few months, Ripple has made several strategic moves, fueling talks of an eventual public listing , even though the company has officially said it’s not on the table for 2025.

While Ripple’s executives, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse and President Monica Long, have made it clear that no IPO is planned this year, signs of IPO preparation are visible. The company recently launched a $700 million share buyback and has been hiring for corporate development and investor relations roles. Its $1.25 billion acquisition of prime brokerage firm Hidden Road and a $250 million deal for custody provider Metaco also hint at long-term growth plans.

Adding to this, pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton reacted to a video clip of Garlinghouse commenting on Circle’s market performance after its IPO. Deaton said that while Ripple isn’t in a rush to go public and doesn’t need to raise capital, timing an IPO is crucial.

He added that if Circle could reach a $62 billion to $75 billion market cap, Ripple, with nearly 40 billion XRP currently valued at around $2 (or roughly $80 billion) — could aim for a $100 billion market cap in the current market environment.

XRP’s price has been trading within a tight range since its drop from $3.40 in January, hovering around $2. It briefly spiked to $3 in March after U.S. President Donald Trump proposed including XRP in a national crypto reserve. Since then, the token has remained trapped within a rigid range.

Meanwhile, institutional interest around XRP appears to be growing. Publicly listed firm VivoPower recently partnered with the Flare blockchain to earn yields on its XRP holdings and invested $121 million in XRP for its treasury. While Ripple’s IPO plans remain speculative for now, the company’s expanding footprint and market activity continue to keep investors watching closely.

The post PEPE Defies Market Crash, Eyes on 40% Rally  appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Pepe (PEPE), the world’s third-largest meme coin, is gaining significant attention from the crypto community due to its impressive upside momentum despite the ongoing bearish market sentiment. On March 8, 2025, while top assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP are witnessing price declines, PEPE has defied the market trend, registering an impressive 7.5% gain in the past 24 hours.

Current Price Momentum 

With this impressive upside momentum, PEPE is currently trading near $0.0000073. Meanwhile, its trading volume has surged by 60% over the same period, indicating heightened anticipation from traders and investors compared to the previous day.

PEPE Price Action and Upcoming Levels 

This price surge has pushed the meme coin to the upper boundary of its consolidation range, positioning it for a potential breakout. According to CoinPedia’s technical analysis, PEPE is trading within a narrow zone between $0.0000064 and $0.00000738. However, with today’s price surge, the meme coin is on the verge of breaking out of this pattern.

Based on recent price action and historical momentum, if PEPE breaches this range and closes a daily candle above the $0.0000074 level, there is a strong possibility that it could soar by 40%, reaching $0.0000105 in the coming days.

Despite the recent price gain, the asset is still trading below the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily timeframe, indicating that it remains in a downtrend.

Traders Bullish Outlook

Data from the on-chain analytics firm Coinglass reveals that bulls are currently dominating the meme coin, as they seem to be strongly betting on the long side. PEPE’s exchange liquidation map shows that $0.00000693 and $0.00000735 are key levels where traders holding long and short positions are over-leveraged.

Currently, they have $1.80 million worth of long positions and $615K worth of short positions. This data clearly showcases that bulls are strong and appear to be supporting the meme coin’s continued upside momentum.

The post CRO Price Eyes Breakout as Double Bottom and Golden Cross Align appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The CRO price has caught the community’s attention as it is flashing a classic double bottom pattern on the 4-hour chart, backed by a golden cross on the daily. With momentum surging from a multi-year support zone and strong gains in July, bulls now eye $0.157 as the next key level in sessions ahead.

Double Bottom Pattern Signals Momentum Shift

The recent action in the CRO price chart has formed a clear “W” shape pattern which is interpreted as the double bottom sighted on the 4-hour timeframe, per a recent post on X. 

This pattern often indicates a potential bullish reversal, especially when followed by rising volume or trend continuation signals. The CRO price has climbed over 80% in July, bouncing from lows near $0.08 to touch $0.1439.

Notably, this rally emerges from a multi-year support zone, giving more strength to the ongoing move. But resistance lies ahead. The Cronos token has encountered a brief pause around $0.1450, a level that needs to flip into support if bulls intend to test higher zones like $0.157, the price target suggested in the 4H analysis.

Golden Cross and Bullish EMAs on the Daily Chart

Adding to the bullish structure is the golden cross visible on the daily timeframe, where the 50-day EMA has crossed above the 200-day EMA. Historically, this crossover often acts as a momentum trigger and reinforces broader optimism in trend continuation.

In the case of Cronos, this setup aligns with increased buyer interest and strengthens the Cronos price forecast for higher levels.

Meanwhile, the Cronos price today holds strong with a market cap of $4.70 billion and $100.01 million in 24-hour spot trading volume, suggesting healthy liquidity to support further moves.

Weekly Chart Shows Symmetrical Triangle, $1 in Sight?

On the weekly chart, Cronos appears to be forming a symmetrical triangle pattern. The price has obeyed a multi-year descending resistance trendline, while simultaneously holding onto an upward-sloping support trendline. 

The current price action near the $0.145 zone now represents a make-or-break moment. Should CRO break to the upside from this consolidation, $1 could become a realistic year-end target, according to a separate observation shared on X. 

However, if resistance holds and the price fails to break out, consolidation within the symmetrical triangle could continue, potentially delaying any aggressive upside movement.

This puts the spotlight squarely on the CRO price USD performance in the coming sessions. A decisive move either way could define Cronos’ direction for the rest of 2025.
