Market analyst Paul Bennett reports XRP-linked futures open interest has reached $4.03 billion, signaling widespread leverage on venues including Binance and CME. CoinGecko data shows XRP is up 10.2% over the past month and trading near $2.17, while a $30 million long and shrinking spot volumes point to a fragile, derivatives-driven setup.

BMNR is pursuing a 5% share of Ethereum’s supply and says it manages large ETH holdings with staking income, alongside a $200 million investment in Beast Industries. Analysts highlight recent multi‑million ETH buys and structural demand from Digital Asset Treasuries as they discuss a potential path toward a $12,000 year‑end price versus a $3,500 high.

Crypto analytics data indicate that XRP whales accumulated more than 50 million XRP worth about $103 million over the last week while the price trades slightly above $2.05. At the same time, XRP balances on Binance have fallen from over 3 billion tokens before the October 10 crash to around 2.6 billion, the lowest level in roughly two years. This combination of large-scale accumulation and shrinking exchange reserves could set the stage for a potential supply-driven price move if current trends persist.

On Saturday, Solana Labs CEO Anatoly Yakovenko said on X that Solana must keep iterating and even envisaged network fees funding AI-assisted code updates. His comments contrasted with Vitalik Buterin's "walkaway test" vision for Ethereum, which emphasizes long-term self-sustainability without ongoing developer guidance.

Ethereum is holding above the 21-period EMA on the three-week chart, which several technical analysts view as a sign of ongoing strength rather than a major top. They interpret the current sideways action as reaccumulation within a broader uptrend, with a higher-probability scenario of further upside as long as this key support does not break.

As the broader crypto market recovers, Immutable's IMX token climbed 9.50% to $0.293, with trading volume jumping 65% to $35.48 million. The price is testing a key $0.30 resistance level that aligns with a bullish cup-and-handle pattern, while derivatives data shows traders favoring leveraged long positions despite trend strength remaining relatively weak.

Over the past week, Zcash has fallen from about $528 to $400 amid leadership-related uncertainty and persistent selling pressure, with the token recently trading around $402. During this downturn, a newly created whale wallet accumulated 76,661 ZEC valued at $31.65 million, while on-chain data show negative spot netflows and technical indicators warning that ZEC could break below the $400 support if bearish momentum continues.

XRP is currently trading just above $2, while an Elliott Wave-based technical outlook suggests a final Wave C advance toward the $2.26–$2.28 resistance area before a deeper correction. Analyst CasiTrades, using the 1-hour chart, expects the recent pullback to around $2.03 as a completed B wave that could lead into a five-wave C structure. If price is rejected near this upper band, the scenario anticipates a larger downside phase that may drag XRP back toward the macro support region around $1.65.
