XRP is currently trading in the green at $2.22. Market analysts are watching closely, as recent movements have opened up the possibility of further gains. Looking at the 4-day chart, an analyst has said that there are two main possible scenarios for XRP’s price direction:
1. The Yellow Scenario (More Likely)
This scenario shows XRP continuing to rise, possibly reaching a new all-time high before undergoing a major correction. This structure follows a pattern of five waves that started from XRP’s low in 2013. If this plays out, a correction could follow, possibly pulling the price down to $0.40–$0.50, similar to past market behavior.
2. The White Scenario (Alternative)
This scenario shows that the current bull market actually started in 2020, not 2013. XRP is possibly in the final wave of a smaller five-wave move. If true, a smaller but still significant correction could follow, possibly lasting up to a year.
Despite the uncertainty, both scenarios expect another price increase, especially while XRP holds above the key support level of $1.20. If this happens, XRP could rise to $5.60 or even $6.60.
Short-Term Outlook
From a shorter-term perspective, XRP appears to be forming a five-wave move up from its April low. However, the pattern is not yet clear. If XRP stays above $2.12, prices could continue to rise. But if it drops below that level, we may see a correction with support between $1.84 and $2.10.
XerpaAI Secures $6 Million Seed Funding Led by UFLY Capital XerpaAI, an AI-driven systematic agent designed to accelerate the growth of disruptive businesses, has announced the closing of a $6 million seed funding round led by UFLY Capital. The funds will be allocated to product development and business expansion.
Operational since early 2025, XerpaAI helps clients with disruptive innovations grow faster through AI and social capabilities, enabling them to outperform competitors. The company has already established teams in Silicon Valley, Tokyo, and Singapore and is generating stable revenue.
The name XerpaAI is inspired by Sherpa guides, the professional ethnic group that assists climbers in conquering Mount Everest. Similarly, XerpaAI’s mission is to empower user acquisition, amplify brand influence, and maximize distribution channels for its clients.
1. What is XerpaAI and what problems does it solve?
XerpaAI is an AI-driven systematic agent designed to accelerate the growth of disruptive businesses. We help our clients win in competitive markets by empowering user acquisition, amplifying market influence, and maximizing distribution channels.
Growth is a continuous cycle of creating compelling content, distributing it through the right channels, gathering feedback, and iterating. XerpaAI productizes this entire process by:
Using AI to boost content creation efficiency, reducing what could be weeks of work to just minutes. Leveraging a network of tens of thousands of KOLs/KOCs and community leaders (collectively, “influencers”) to intelligently match projects with the right voices for efficient, high-impact distribution. Providing comprehensive data feedback to help clients refine their growth strategies and even inform product iterations.
2. How did the idea for XerpaAI come about?
The idea was born from three key factors. First, clear demand. As serial entrepreneurs, we live by the mantra “keep growing or die”. We consistently allocated 30-50% of our funding budgets to growth, yet many activities offered poor ROI. Highly innovative products, in particular, require significant time and money to educate the market through social relationships and person-to-person advocacy.
Secondly, massive market opportunity. For U.S. tech companies, growth is the second-largest expense after R&D, accounting for 20-30% of total costs, and for startups, this can be as high as 40-50%. Globally, tech companies spend approximately $600-$1,000 billion annually on growth.
Third, timing and expertise. We have been exploring growth strategies for years. The recent AI boom made it clear that we could execute our vision more efficiently and at scale. We incorporated in 2025, integrated large-scale AI models, and consolidated our services, establishing operations in Japan and the U.S..
3. You’ve mentioned “AGA.” What is this concept?
AGA stands for AI Growth Agent. We distinguish “growth” from “marketing.” Marketing is often campaign-driven to boost brand awareness, with a Chief Marketing Officer accountable for the brand. Growth, however, is purely data-driven, targeting user acquisition, retention, and market influence to drive direct business outcomes. A Chief Growth Officer is involved across the entire product lifecycle and is accountable for results.
For instance, in content creation, growth prioritizes competitive benchmarking and market trends over pure creativity. In distribution, it uses data-driven matching to optimize conversion rates. We believe growth teams will increasingly replace traditional marketing teams, which is why we pioneered the AI Growth Agent concept.
4. Who are your competitors?
We benchmark against AppLovin, a Silicon Valley mobile tech company founded in 2012 that helps mobile app developers grow and monetize. AppLovin was a “Sherpa guide” for the mobile internet era; XerpaAI is the Sherpa guide for the AI era, with a distinct focus on social and AI capabilities. As AI permeates everything in the coming years, we aim to lead this shift. Given the market’s size, we expect many startups will pursue similar goals, and they will be our competitors.
5. Why is your team the right one for this project?
This is a natural evolution for us. My co-founder and I excel at growth, particularly through social relationships and AI tools. Over the past eight years, we have driven growth for products with over 100 million users and supported more than 100 projects. We can now productize these experiences through AI to scale our efficiency and impact.
6. Who are XerpaAI’s primary clients?
Currently, 80% of our clients are from the blockchain industry and 20% are from general AI startups. We believe blockchain and AI will fundamentally transform the tech industry, and their “Sherpas” will grow alongside them. Both industries are in their early stages and require significant market education—something our product excels at by leveraging person-to-person advocacy.
In the future, we will serve all innovative industries that require market education. Additionally, the KOLs, KOCs, and community leaders in our network are also key clients, as they use our platform to monetize their influence and engage their audiences.
7. What is your relationship with UFLY Capital, and what are your future financing plans?
XerpaAI has successfully secured $6 million in funding from UFLY Capital, with the proceeds primarily allocated to product development and promotion.
XerpaAI itself is a significant Limited Partner (LP) in UFLY Capital, an active fund managed by experienced entrepreneurs. This substantial self-investment, combined with the support from other LPs and General Partners (GPs) within UFLY Capital, represents a strong collective endorsement of XerpaAI’s potential. Looking ahead, XerpaAI anticipates achieving positive cash flow soon, driven by its robust client base and rapidly increasing revenue.
The company is exploring a private funding round in 2026 and, if market conditions are favorable, a potential Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the future.
8. What is your relationship with UXLINK?
Legally, XerpaAI is an independent company. However, our businesses are closely aligned. UXLINK provides social infrastructure for blockchain project growth, and XerpaAI is an application within its ecosystem. UXLINK is a key client, and many projects in its ecosystem are also our clients. In turn, we are a vital contributor to their ecosystem.
Our shared mission to drive growth allows for close collaboration between our teams and comprehensive support from UXLINK.
9. What is your current team structure and your plans for the future?
We maintain a lean, full-time team, as AI allows us to operate with high efficiency. Our core team is primarily in Tokyo, with members in Singapore and Silicon Valley. As we grow, we plan to expand our sales, compliance, and finance capabilities, particularly in Silicon Valley. We are also building a community to harness collective power and drive further growth.
Cardano is more than just another cryptocurrency. While many blockchain projects focus on hype and speculation, Cardano is different—it’s built for real-world applications that solve real problems.
Cardano’s ecosystem is growing with practical use cases that have the potential to make a lasting impact.
But having great technology alone isn’t enough. To truly make an impact, Cardano needs innovative startups and developers who can build on top of it. That’s where CV Labs comes in—a global blockchain accelerator that is now helping early-stage Cardano projects grow into successful businesses.
Cardano: A Blockchain Built for Real-World Use
Cardano is driving real-world change with:
Financial Inclusion & DeFi: Decentralized finance solutions for saving, borrowing, and earning interest, without a bank.
Supply Chain Transparency: Tracking products from origin to consumer to ensure authenticity and quality.
Decentralized Identity (DID): Digital ID management for secure and efficient identity verification.
Sustainability & Green Blockchain: An eco-friendly blockchain with initiatives like the Cardano Forest project supporting reforestation efforts.
ADA Spotlight: CV Labs is Helping Cardano Startups Succeed
Even with all these real-world applications, building a successful business on Cardano requires more than capital and an idea. Startups need funding, guidance, and connections to grow.
CV Labs is a blockchain startup accelerator with headquarters in Zug, Switzerland—known as Crypto Valley due to its high concentration of blockchain companies. In fact, Zug is the birthplace of another top blockchain – Ethereum.
CV Labs is part of Crypto Valley Venture Capital (CV VC), a firm that invests in early-stage blockchain projects and provides them with mentorship, training, and networking opportunities.
Recognizing Cardano’s potential, CV Labs has launched a specialized accelerator program for Cardano-based startups. This program is designed to give projects building on Cardano the support they need to scale.
What Does the CV Labs Accelerator Offer?
Imagine you’re a founder in web3 launching an early-stage startup on Cardano. The sheer amount of projects can be overwhelming, and founders new to the ecosystem often lack tailored guidance, funding connections, and ecosystem-specific support.
CV Labs solves this by providing its Cardano accelerator with Cardano-specific mentorship, business development training, and direct access to investors, technical experts, and a global founder network.
Mentorship & Business Training: Startups receive 10 weeks of hands-on guidance from blockchain experts, venture capitalists, and experienced entrepreneurs. The program includes workshops on building products, tokenomics, marketing, and investor pitching.
Access to Funding: While CV Labs does not directly give startups large funding rounds, they provide up to $135,000 in seed money and introduce projects to venture capitalists who are looking to invest in promising Cardano startups.
Global Network & Exposure: The accelerator connects startups with industry leaders, giving them opportunities to network with investors and businesses across multiple countries. Participants also get a chance to present their projects at major events like Cardano Summits and Web3 gatherings.
Technical & Legal Support: Startups gain access to expert advice on regulatory compliance, smart contract security, and best practices for building on Cardano.
The CV Labs Cardano Accelerator is a 10-week program designed to fast-track early-stage startups building on Cardano. Offering up to $150,000 in funding (for 6% equity), the hybrid program includes a two-week in-person bootcamp in Zug, followed by eight weeks of remote workshops, culminating in a Demo Day where startups pitch for follow-on funding up to $500,000.
Targeting both Cardano-native projects and Web2 founders transitioning to Web3, the accelerator provides over $200,000 in perks, access to co-working hubs in Switzerland, Portugal, Liechtenstein, and South Africa, and mentorship from industry leaders in cybersecurity, legal compliance, and blockchain economics.
Tapping into Switzerland’s blockchain-friendly regulations and Crypto Valley’s $382.9 billion ecosystem, the program has already helped startups like Maestro raise $3 million. With applications open for May 2025, CV Labs aims to drive innovation, attract top talent, and cement Cardano’s position in Web3.
Success Stories on CV Labs
CV Labs has already worked with dozens of blockchain startups across various industries, and its recent focus on Cardano is bringing more innovation to the ecosystem.
At Cardano Summit 2024, CV Labs helped organize the Battle of the Builders, where Landano—a project focused on blockchain-based land registry—won top honors. This project uses Cardano to digitize land ownership records, reducing fraud and making property transactions more transparent.
Another example is Liqwid Finance, a decentralized lending and borrowing protocol on Cardano. By working with CV Labs, Liqwid Finance gained exposure to a wider investor audience and is now one of the leading DeFi platforms in the Cardano ecosystem.
These success stories show that with the right support, Cardano-based projects can go from ideas to fully operational businesses.
Why This Matters for Cardano’s Future
Cardano has built a secure, scalable, and sustainable blockchain that is already proving useful in multiple industries. But for Cardano to truly fulfill its potential, more projects need to build on it—and they need the right support to succeed.
CV Labs is playing a key role in bringing this future to life. By accelerating early-stage Cardano startups, it’s helping bring more real-world applications to life. These startups are not just creating new business models but also proving that Cardano can compete with blockchains like Ethereum and Solana.
As Cardano continues to grow, expect to see more partnerships, funding opportunities, and innovative projects emerge from its ecosystem. With organizations like CV Labs backing the next wave of startups, Cardano’s vision of a more decentralized, efficient, and inclusive global economy is becoming a reality.

Codename:Pepe Unleashes True Intelligence for Maximum Profits
The crypto underworld is infested with fake AI agents—shady operators promising “next-gen intelligence” while barely outsmarting a toaster. This nonsense ends today.
Codename:Pepe has come to denounce fake AI agents. This ultimate undercover agent does not pretend, it is actually doing something useful: helping you make money in the chaotic meme coin jungle. Codename:Pepe is on a mission of mass hilarity (and, naturally, ridiculous gains).
Classified Intel: The True Identity of Codename:Pepe
Keep this under wraps: Codename:Pepe is a Pepe in disguise. Modeled after the legendary PEPE coin, which skyrocketed nearly 22,000%, this covert operative has the same ambition. Will it succeed? That depends on its community.
Unlike VC-backed rug pulls, Codename:Pepe is powered by the people. The bigger the support, the higher it moonwalks. That’s why it has chosen the community-driven presale strategy with a smart plan:
Entry Price at Stage One: $0.003333333 (because three is a lucky number)
Final Stage Price: $0.151515152 (because round numbers are boring)
Codename:Pepe plans to use the power of artificial intelligence to hunt down the juiciest meme coins, predict market trends, and deliver exclusive AI-powered trading signals before the FOMO kicks in.
Beyond smart analysis, this genius agent will also trade for you with its fully automated AI-trader, turning those signals into sweet gains.

The mission is set. The presale is live. Are you in, or will you let the AI fakes win?
Ripple (XRP) is a decentralized network designed for financial services, allowing fast and cost-effective transfers of both fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. It is notable for its native cryptocurrency, XRP, which supports rapid and secure transactions through a unique consensus protocol. Ripple’s network can process up to 1,500 transactions per second, offering scalability and efficiency.
XRP’s price has been influenced by various factors, including legal disputes and market sentiment. Its legal battle with the U.S. SEC has impacted its market performance, but a recent court ruling has brought some relief, resulting in a price increase. Despite these challenges, XRP’s technology continues to excel in delivering quick transactions and fostering partnerships with banks and financial firms, reflecting its utility and position in the financial sector. As regulations evolve and adoption grows, XRP’s future in enabling efficient global transfers remains notable.
Overview of Cardano (ADA) and its Market Dynamics
Cardano is a decentralized blockchain network introduced in 2017. It operates on a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism called Ouroboros, which is designed to be more energy-efficient than the proof-of-work system used by networks like Bitcoin. Cardano is intended to enhance the security and scalability of blockchain networks while minimizing environmental impact. ADA is the native token of Cardano, playing roles in transactions, staking, and as a medium of exchange within its ecosystem. Known as one of the first blockchains built on peer-reviewed research, Cardano aims to support decentralized applications with scalability and security.
Currently, Cardano ranks as one of the significant cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Its price has experienced considerable fluctuations, with its all-time high being $3.10 in September 2021. Various predictions suggest diverse potential paths for ADA’s future value. Some expert price predictions indicate possible growth scenarios tied to market events like Bitcoin halvings, while others offer more conservative views. ADA’s market position and ongoing network developments maintain interest among investors, developers, and users. However, the cryptocurrency market’s inherent volatility makes precise future valuations challenging.
Solana: A High-Speed Blockchain Platform
Solana is a blockchain platform developed in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko. It addresses scalability and performance limitations associated with Bitcoin and Ethereum. Known for its speed, Solana processes over 50,000 transactions per second with minimal fees. This efficiency is achieved through its unique proof-of-history consensus mechanism, along with proof-of-stake and other technical innovations. Solana launched its mainnet beta in March 2020, quickly drawing attention from developers and investors due to its capabilities. Its network supports various decentralized applications (dApps) and ensures interoperability with other blockchains.
The native token, SOL, plays several roles within the Solana ecosystem. It is used for transaction fees, governance, and as part of the platform’s services. Solana saw rapid growth, reflected in its significant market capitalization and rising token value. However, while Solana has shown strong potential, it faces challenges such as network outages and intense competition from other blockchain platforms like Ethereum and Cardano. Despite these issues, Solana’s speed, scalability, and interoperability continue to garner interest, making it a noteworthy player in the blockchain domain.

The network uses multiple oracles to prevent a central failure point. This setup ensures constant data availability and reliability. Chainlink’s native token, LINK, is used within this ecosystem. It serves as payment for data services and as a staking token for becoming an oracle operator. Since its inception in 2017, Chainlink has emerged as a key player in the oracle sector, significantly impacting decentralized finance (DeFi).
The market position of LINK is notable, with a significant market capitalization. Chainlink reached a peak value of $52.88 in May 2021, though it has not returned to that level since. The LINK token’s price fluctuates, reflecting broader market conditions and crypto trends. The expanding DeFi ecosystem demands reliable oracle services, keeping Chainlink prominent. Observers like Michael van de Poppe anticipate positive growth, with expectations of significant price increases. Others, such as TheNewsCrypto, present more cautious long-term projections. Current price predictions for LINK vary, highlighting the unpredictability of cryptocurrency markets.
Conclusion
As the market surges, established coins like XRP, ADA, SOL, and LINK may see modest growth but offer limited short-term gains. In contrast, Codename:Pepe crypto stands out as a unique opportunity, using real artificial intelligence to navigate the chaotic meme coin market for maximum profits.
By combining a community-driven approach with advanced AI-powered trading signals and automated trading, Codename:Pepe crypto positions itself to deliver exceptional returns. Securing a stake in this innovative project could unlock significant rewards as it disrupts the market and outperforms traditional altcoins.
