RLUSD Reaches Cardano Through Wanchain Bridge in Latest Cross-Chain Expansion

TLDR: RLUSD now moves across XRPL, Ethereum, and Cardano using Wanchain bridge infrastructure European banks plan a euro stablecoin using Ripple tech, expanding institutional blockchain use Ripple upgraded custody services with compliance tools and staking for institutional clients RLUSD adoption grows through pilots in payments, settlements, and multi-chain DeFi access Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin continues to expand its reach as new infrastructure and institutional developments reshape its role in digital finance.

Recent updates show progress in cross-chain access, banking collaborations, and custody services, positioning RLUSD within evolving global payment networks.

Cross-chain expansion strengthens RLUSD accessibility RLUSD’s latest development centers on its integration with Wanchain’s bridge infrastructure. This upgrade allows

transfers between the XRP Ledger, Ethereum, Cardano, and Wanchain. As a result, users can move RLUSD without relying on centralized exchanges.

A recent tweet from CoinDesk reported that Wanchain added support for Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. The post noted that the bridge enables transfers across major blockchain networks. This update confirms RLUSD’s growing presence in multi-chain environments.

The bridge supports two-way transfers, which improves liquidity movement between networks. Users can send RLUSD from the XRP Ledger to Cardano or from Ethereum to Cardano. They can also reverse these transactions with minimal friction.

This setup reduces dependency on wrapped assets and intermediaries. Instead, RLUSD operates across ecosystems in a more direct manner. As liquidity moves freely, trading and decentralized finance activity may become more efficient.

Wanchain acts as a central hub connecting these blockchains. Through this role, it simplifies how assets move between networks. Therefore, RLUSD becomes easier to access for users operating on different chains.

The stablecoin currently holds a market capitalization of about $1.5 billion. Around 382 million tokens circulate on the XRP Ledger. Meanwhile, a larger share remains active on Ethereum, supporting its broader use.

Institutional adoption and infrastructure upgrades progress Beyond technical integration, RLUSD is gaining traction among financial institutions. European banks are preparing to launch a euro-backed stablecoin using Ripple’s technology. ING, UniCredit, and BNP Paribas plan to release it in late 2026.

This initiative focuses on regulated digital payments within the eurozone. It also introduces competition to dollar-based stablecoins. Ripple’s infrastructure will support settlement and transaction processing for the project.

At the same time, Ripple has upgraded its custody platform. The update includes real-time compliance monitoring and cloud-based security systems. These features aim to meet institutional requirements for digital asset management.

The platform also introduces staking capabilities. This addition provides institutions with more flexibility when managing digital assets. As a result, RLUSD becomes easier to integrate into treasury operations.

Institutional use cases are already being tested in real-world scenarios. RLUSD is part of pilot programs for real-time settlements with partners like Kyobo Life Insurance. It is also being explored for credit card settlement processes with Mastercard.

These developments align with Ripple’s broader multichain strategy. RLUSD is also undergoing testing on Ethereum Layer-2 networks such as Base, Optimism, and Ink. These efforts expand its potential use across scaling solutions.

As RLUSD moves across networks and gains institutional support, its role in payments and finance continues to evolve. Its presence across multiple chains and systems reflects ongoing efforts to increase utility and access.

There is a growing narrative among XRP enthusiasts that a major unwinding in the Japanese yen carry trade could trigger a global liquidity crisis. In this scenario, these enthusiasts have positioned XRP as the solution to stabilizing disrupted financial flows, starting in Japan and rippling worldwide.

Spike in Japan’s 20-year government bondAn XRP community member highlighted that Japan’s 20-year government bond yield hit 2.751%, increasing by 0.035%.  

Higher yields signal investor demand for safer, higher-return Japanese debt amid BoJ tightening. This pulls money back to Japan, accelerating the unwinding, that is, traders selling foreign assets to cover yen loans. Past unwinds caused global volatility, which analysts have warned could happen soon. 

The yen carry trade is a popular investment strategy that has fueled global markets for decades. Notably, Japan’s low interest rates make borrowing yen inexpensive.

Traders convert yen to higher-yielding currencies such as USD and invest in assets like U.S. stocks, bonds or emerging market debt. In the end, they pocket the interest rate differential as profit.

It provides cheap liquidity to risk assets, boosting everything from Wall Street to crypto. However, sudden yen strength erodes profits and triggers forced sales.

Analysts note that a liquidity crisis is looming as the carry trade is about to collapse. The trade is reversing due to shifting monetary policies, creating a vicious cycle.

To combat inflation and yen weakness, the BoJ has normalized rates since 2024. This makes borrowing yen more expensive, squeezing profits.

Also, the U.S. Federal Reserve easing cycle narrows the yield gap, making the trade less attractive.

Can XRP stop Japan’s liquidity crunch?An unwind is not just a Japanese problem but a global liquidity crunch. Trillions in yen-funded investments flood back, selling off U.S. and global assets. This could depress bond prices, spike U.S. yields and trigger stock sell-offs.

However, XRP enters as a proposed fix for the resulting chaos, leveraging Ripple's tech for instant, low-cost global transfers.

In a crisis, banks need quick access to fiat without prefunding accounts. XRP acts as on-demand liquidity, settling cross-border payments in seconds.

Moreover, Ripple has a strategic partnership with Japan’s SBI Holdings, integrating XRP into local payments. Therefore, if yen liquidity dries up, Japanese institutions could use XRP to source USD instantly, bypassing carry trade fallout.

Critics, however, argued that this is hype, noting that XRP’s role depends on adoption.

American model Bri Teresi recently discussed the idea that XRP could play a role in Japan’s reverse yen carry trade, a multitrillion-dollar unwind now moving through global markets. 

In a recent post on X, Teresi said she believes XRP matches the type of fast and programmable system that the financial infrastructure of today needs. 

Teresi Spotlights XRP’s Strengths She called attention to guidance from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which says an effective settlement asset should turn over 8 to 10 times a day so banks avoid holding slow-moving currency. 

I believe XRP will be used as a bridge asset in the reverse Yen carry trade. Right now, the BIS says an efficient settlement asset should turn over 8–10 times per day to prevent banks from sitting on huge piles of stagnant currencies. But in a new financial system that’s faster,…

— Bri Teresi (@briteresi) November 27, 2025

Teresi argued that newer systems focus on speed, and she sees XRP meeting that requirement, with SBI Remit in Japan already using it for faster cross-border settlements.

According to the model, XRP’s design allows it to move far faster than the BIS benchmark. After watching an analysis from crypto educator Lewis Jackson, she raised an important question: if trillions begin crossing borders as this reverse carry trade unwinds, what kind of transaction speed will regulators expect from a bridge asset like XRP?

What is The Reverse Carry Trade? For context, Jackson highlighted the entire situation in a recent podcast episode. During his commentary, he discussed how a carry trade works, using a simple example. 

Specifically, a person could borrow $100,000 in a country offering 0% interest, convert the funds into their own currency, and invest it at a 5% return. After one year, that investor would still owe exactly $100,000, but the investment would produce $105,000, leaving $5,000 in profit. 

Jackson explained that Japan enabled this type of strategy for more than twenty years because the Bank of Japan cut interest rates to 0% in 1999, held that level for years, and even pushed rates negative in 2016, which effectively paid people to borrow.

He noted that this environment created what the market calls the yen carry trade. Ministry of Finance data places the size of this trade between $4.2 trillion and $4.5 trillion, with major global banks and financial institutions taking part. The Bank for International Settlements documented this activity as well.

However, everything changed on March 19, 2024, when the Bank of Japan ended its negative-rate era and raised its benchmark rate to 0.1%. Jackson said the small move created major concern because investors feared more hikes could follow. 

Notably, higher rates would erase the profit potential of carry trades, so many traders started to unwind their positions. This led to the reverse carry trade. He estimated that roughly 40% of the trade had already reversed, leaving 60% still active. This remaining portion could strain the system if it unwinds too quickly.

XRP Could Have a Role to Play Jackson then explained why some people in the crypto community believe XRP could help. For context, reversing a carry trade at this scale requires fast and reliable currency conversion, and traditional rails often move slowly and cost a lot. 

According to him, XRP offers a quicker, cheaper, and more secure way to move value across borders. He then highlighted Japan’s long relationship with XRP. Specifically, SBI Remit uses XRP for payment routes between Japan and the Philippines and between Japan and Indonesia. Also, Japanese institutions maintain long-running partnerships with Ripple, which gives the theory more weight.

Jackson noted that he had studied BIS documents, Japanese regulatory material, and SBI Remit’s integrations, and confirmed that the major details behind the reverse carry trade storyline all come from established sources. 

He then called attention to discussions over how XRP’s price might react if these flows ran through the asset, with some predicting price surges to thousands. While Jackson does not support any specific prediction, he said Japan’s policy shift, the scale of the unwind, and XRP’s presence in the country create a setup that deserves serious attention.

Japan’s Bond Shock Slams Crypto: $640 Million Liquidated as 10-Year JGB Hits 17-Year High

Yen Carry Trade Collision: Bank of Japan’s Rate Shock Aims at Bitcoin | US Crypto News

Updated Dec 7, 2025, 1:50 p.m. Published Dec 7, 2025, 5:36 a.m.

Summary

Impending BOJ rate hike largely priced in; Japanese bond yields near multi-decade highs.Speculators maintain net bullish positions in the yen, limiting scope for sudden yen strength.BOJ tightening may contribute to sustained upward pressure on global yields, impacting risk sentiment.With the Bank of Japan (BOJ) expected to hike rates next week, some observers are worried that the Japanese yen could surge, triggering an unwinding of "carry trades," crushing bitcoin.

Their analysis, however, overlooks actual positioning in the FX and bond markets, missing the nuance and far more likely risk that Japanese yields, by anchoring and potentially lifting global bond yields, could eventually weigh over risk assets rather than the yen itself.

Popular yen carry tradesBefore diving deeper, let's break down the yen carry trade and its influence on global markets over the past few decades.

The yen (JPY) carry trade involves investors borrowing yen at low rates in Japan and investing in high-yielding assets. For decades, Japan kept interest rates pinned near zero, prompting traders to borrow in yen and invest in U.S. tech stocks and U.S. Treasury notes.

As Charles Schwab noted, "Going long on tech and short on the yen were two very popular trades, because for many years, the yen had been the cheapest major funding currency and tech was consistently profitable."

With the BOJ expected to raise rates, concerns are rising that the yen will lose its cheap-funding status, making carry trades less attractive. Higher Japanese interest rates and JGB yields, along with a strengthening yen, could trigger carry trade unwinds – Japanese capital repatriating from overseas assets and sparking broad risk aversion, including in BTC, as witnessed in August 2025.

Debunking the scareThis analysis, however, lacks nuance on several levels.

First and foremost, Japanese rates – even after the expected hike – would sit at just 0.75%, versus 3.75% in the U.S. The yield differential would still remain wide enough to favor U.S. assets and discourage mass unwinding of carry trades. In other words, BOJ will remain the most dovish major central bank.

Secondly, the impending BOJ rate hike is hardly unexpected and is already priced in, as evidenced by Japanese government bond (JGB) yields hovering near multi-decade highs. The benchmark 10-year JGB yield currently stands at 1.95%, which is more than 100 basis points above the official Japanese benchmark interest rate of 0.75% projected after the hike. The same can said about the two-year Japanese yield, which is hovering above 1%.

This disconnect between bond yields and policy rates suggests market expectations for tighter monetary conditions are likely already priced in, reducing the shock value of the rate adjustment itself.

"Japan’s 1.7% JGB yield isn’t a surprise. It has been in forward markets for more than a year, and investors have already repositioned for BOJ normalization since 2023," InvestingLive's Chief Asia-Pacific Currency Analyst Eamonn Sheridan said in a recent explainer.

Bullish yen positioningLastly, speculators' net long yen positions leave little room for panic buying post-rate hike, and even less reason for carry trade unwinds.

Data tracked by Investing.com shows that speculators' net positioning has been consistently bullish on the yen since February this year.

This starkly contrasts with mid-2024, when speculators were bearish on the yen. That likely triggered panic buying of the yen when the BOJ raised rates from 0.25% to 0.5% on July 31, 2024, leading to the unwinding of carry trades and losses in stocks and cryptocurrencies.

Another notable difference back then was that the 10-year yield was on the verge of breaking above 1% for the first time in decades, which likely triggered a shock adjustment. That's no longer the case, as yields have been above 1% and rising for months, as discussed earlier.

The yen's role as a risk-on/risk-off barometer has come under question recently, with the Swiss franc emerging as a rival offering relatively lower rates and reduced volatility.

To conclude, the expected BOJ rate hike could bring volatility, but it is unlikely to be anything like what was seen in August 2025. Investors have already positioned for tightening, as Schwab noted, and adjustments to BOJ tightening are likely to happen gradually and are already partially underway.

What could go wrong?Other things being equal, the real risk lies in Japanese tightening sustaining elevated U.S. Treasury yields, countering the impact of expected Fed rate cuts.

This dynamic could dampen global risk appetite, as persistently high yields raise borrowing costs and weigh on asset valuations, including those of cryptocurrencies and equities.

Rather than a sudden yen surge unwinding carry trades, watch BOJ's broader global market impact.

Another macro risk: President Trump's push for global fiscal expansion, which could stoke debt fears, lift bond yields, and trigger risk aversion.

Japan’s 10-year government bond yields surged to 1.98% in December 2025, the highest level since the 1990s. It comes as markets braced for the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) policy meeting on December 19.

The move has triggered a global rally in precious metals, with gold and silver surging 135% and 175%, respectively, since early 2023. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is under pressure as forced selling intensifies across Asian exchanges, highlighting a divergence in market reactions to Japan’s rate shift.

Japan’s Bond Yields Hit 1.98%For decades, Japan maintained near-zero interest rates, anchoring global liquidity through the yen carry trade.

Investors borrowed yen at a low rate to fund higher-yielding assets worldwide, effectively exporting ultra-low interest rates.

An expected 25-basis-point hike, raising the rate to 0.75%, may appear modest in absolute terms, but the pace of change matters more than the level.

BOJ Interest Rate Probabilities. Source: Polymarket “Carry trade at risk: Nobody knows when the real consequences will materialize, but this continued shift will likely drain liquidity from markets, potentially causing a ripple effect through margin calls and other forced deleveraging,” warned Guilherme Tavares, CEO at i3 Invest.

Analysts see the BOJ move as more than a domestic adjustment.

“When Japan’s yields move, global capital pays attention. Gold and silver aren’t reacting to inflation headlines. They’re pricing sovereign balance sheet risk. Japan isn’t a sideshow anymore. It’s the fulcrum,” noted Simon Hou-Vangsaae Reseke.

Gold and Silver Prices Surge Amid Rising Sovereign RiskPrecious metals have been closely tracking Japanese yields. According to Global Market Investor, gold and silver are moving almost perfectly in line with Japanese government bond yields. This suggests that precious metals are being used as a primary hedge against the rising cost of government debt.

Gold and Silver Prices Tracking Japan’s 10Y Bond. Source: Global Markets Investor on X “It’s not the yield itself, it’s what the move represents — rising sovereign risk, tighter global liquidity, and uncertainty about currency credibility. Gold responds as protection, and silver follows with more volatility,” commented analyst EndGame Macro.

The silver market is showing signs of speculative mania. The China Silver Futures Fund recently traded 12% above the physical metal it tracks, indicating that demand for leveraged exposure is outpacing the underlying asset.

⚠️ Silver market mania is an UNDERSTATEMENT:

— Global Markets Investor (@GlobalMktObserv) December 17, 2025 Investors are increasingly treating gold and silver as hedges against broader macro risks, rather than just inflation.

Bitcoin Faces Pressure as Carry Trades UnwindMeanwhile, the Bitcoin price is feeling the strain of tightening yen liquidity.

“Asia-based exchanges have seen persistent spot selling. Miner reserves are falling — forced selling, not choice…Long-term Asian holders appear to be distributing…Price stays heavy until forced supply is cleared,” wrote CryptoRus, citing XWIN Research Japan.

US institutions continue buying, with the Coinbase Premium positive, but forced liquidations in Asia and an 8% drop in Bitcoin hashrate have added downward pressure.

— Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) December 14, 2025 The contrasting reactions of precious metals and Bitcoin highlight differences in risk positioning. Gold and silver are attracting safe-haven flows amid growing sovereign risk, while Bitcoin faces liquidation-driven price pressure.

Analysts note that future Fed rate cuts may offset the BOJ’s impacts, but the speed of the policy change is crucial.

Discussion around a possible Ripple IPO in 2026 and potential impact on the XRP price has picked up after Investing Visuals ranked major private companies by estimated valuation.

Specifically, the presentation places SpaceX at the top with a projected value of $1.5 trillion. OpenAI follows at $830 billion, while ByteDance stands at $480 billion. Anthropic comes in at $230 billion, Databricks at $160 billion, and Stripe at $120 billion. 

Projected Ripple IPO at $50B Meanwhile, Revolut holds an estimated valuation of $90 billion, with Shein at $55 billion. Notably, Ripple comes in next at $50 billion, matching Canva at the same level. Together, these companies account for a combined valuation of roughly $3.6 trillion.

Potential Largest IPOs | Investing Visuals If Ripple goes public at a $50 billion valuation, it will likely rank as the ninth-largest IPO of 2026. This figure also exceeds Ripple’s most recent private valuation. For context, in Q4 2025, Ripple completed a $500 million funding round that valued the company at about $40 billion. A move to $50 billion would represent a 25% increase.

Importantly, an IPO of that size would raise questions about XRP’s price outlook. While Ripple operates as a company and XRP exists as a separate digital asset, the markets have often linked the two. 

Specifically, when Ripple expands partnerships, gains regulatory clarity, or attracts institutional attention, XRP sentiment typically picks up. To understand how a $50 billion IPO could affect XRP, we asked Google Gemini for an assessment.

XRP Price if Ripple IPOs at $50B Google Gemini called 2026 a year when Ripple’s corporate growth and XRP’s market performance could become more connected, especially for institutional investors. With the assumption that Ripple lists publicly at a $50 billion valuation, Gemini presented a hypothetical price range for XRP.

According to Gemini, a public listing would represent Ripple’s move from a long-standing private company to a major public one. 

While XRP does not represent ownership in Ripple, the token benefits from activity within Ripple’s ecosystem. Increased visibility from an IPO could bolster confidence in Ripple’s technology and, by extension, support demand for XRP.

XRP Price Prediction if Ripple IPOs at $50B | Google Gemini In this scenario, Gemini suggested a bullish XRP price range between $8 and $15. One major factor behind this prediction is institutional sentiment. At present, XRP trades largely on retail demand and its role in cross-border payments. 

A successful IPO could send a message to traditional finance that Ripple’s business model has matured. Gemini pointed out that some institutional analysts, including Standard Chartered, have already mentioned $8 as a possible XRP target for 2026, assuming steady ETF inflows and lower regulatory risk.

Ripple Executives Downplay the Urgency of an IPO Despite these projections, Ripple executives have consistently downplayed the urgency of an IPO. CEO Brad Garlinghouse said in a July 2024 Fortune interview that going public represents only one step in Ripple’s journey, not a final goal. 

In March 2025, Garlinghouse told Bloomberg that an IPO was not a major priority, noting that Ripple continued to grow without needing public capital. Moreover, he also mentioned to Bloomberg that Ripple currently focuses on acquiring firms, not pursuing a public offering.

Ripple President Monica Long has suggested the same. In an April 2025 CNBC interview, she confirmed that Ripple had no plans to go public in 2025, pointing to billions of dollars in cash reserves. Later, at the Swell conference in New York in November 2025, she told Bloomberg that Ripple had no IPO plan and no timeline.

The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) kicked off phase 1 of its token merger process. The project recently announced the beginning of the migration process with the delisting of Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) and SingularityNET (AGIX) from crypto exchanges. However, FET is facing some pressure following its rebranding and supply update.

ASI Token Merger Phase 1 Begins On July 1, the ASI alliance and Fetch.AI (FET) announced the multi-token merger to unify OCEAN, AGIX, and FET. As part of phase 1, withdrawals and deposits with OCEAN and AGIX would close in preparation for the migration to FET.

Additionally, the delisting process from crypto exchanges would begin for the two tokens. Meanwhile, FET would continue to trade as usual, with spot and perpetual trading continuing under the same tricker.

The initial phase of the merger aims to “onboard exchanges and data aggregators for a smooth transition.” Fetch.AI saw a rebrand across platforms. The project took the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance name and logo but kept its ticker.

Moreover, the ASI alliance opened a migration platform on the SingularityDAO dApp to help users migrate their tokens. Some crypto exchanges, including Kraken and Coinbase, revealed they would not support customers on the ASI token merger.

Kraken announced that the trading of OCEAN and FET will continue to be supported on the platform until further notice. The exchange also noted that users must withdraw their tokens to a self-custodial wallet to migrate them.

Similarly, Coinbase informed its users that it chose to “not execute the migration of these assets on behalf of users.” Both exchanges also clarified they would not support the eventual migration from FET to ASI.

FET Retraces Following Rebrand After updating the token’s name, supply, and market capitalization, FET flipped Render (RNDR) in the AI tokens sector. According to CoinMarketCap data, the token is now the 27th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, with $3.38 billion.

Following the rebrand, FET’s price dropped similarly to when the token merger delay news was released. At the time, the merging tokens saw an 8-10% price decline following the rescheduling of the merger. The delay was attributed to logistical and technical issues.

FET fell from the $1.4 support zone on Monday to $1.27, a 9.7% drop in 12 hours. However, the AI token has recovered the $1.3 mark, currently trading at $1.33, representing a 3.6% decline in the last 24 hours.

Some market watchers found this performance disappointing. Some investors believe it might be best not to get involved until the merger is completed. Sjuul Follings, crypto trader and founder of Alt Crypto Games expressed his disappointment with the token’s recent fakeout.

Per the trader, he was optimistic about the late June price action, believing the token was about to break out and expand ahead of the ASI alliance. Nonetheless, FET could not reclaim the $1.8 support zone and retraced to the $1.4 support level over the weekend.

Despite the bearish trend, investors remain optimistic about the token’s future as the merger’s phase 1 is only starting. Some investors forecast a short-term price target of $5 for ASI and a long-term goal of $13.

Tokenized RWAs from Cogito are backed 1:1 by the underlying asset and are issued as ERC-20 tokens that are released on Ethereum (Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, and Polygon). All off-chain transactions are carried out on the blockchain for transparency, including the daily NAV (Net Asset Value). These calculated metrics are also shown on the dashboard, allowing customers to quickly determine the value of their portfolio.

SingularityDAO’s AI-driven portfolio management protocol will enable secure digital management while increasing access to tokenized RWAs by integrating Cogito’s flagship products. Top players in the cryptocurrency space are showing interest in RWA tokenization, one of the DeFi ecosystem’s fastest-growing sectors. Some analysts believe this sector’s potential is greatly underutilized.

Cogito offers low-risk investment options with high liquidity, stability, and maturities ranging from 0 to 3 months in its Tokenized U.S. Treasury Bills, or TFUND. XFUND, a diverse portfolio aimed at high-growth industries in technology and artificial intelligence, and GFUND (Green Bonds), a medium-risk investment focused on financing environmentally beneficial projects, supplement TFUND. These investments are in line with the rising need for sustainable finance.

Leading AI-enabled asset management solutions in the DeFi market are provided by SingularityDAO, while Cogito’s offerings, which include tokenized US Treasury Bills, increase the accessibility and liquidity of conventional assets onchain. SingularityDAO and Cogito Finance will provide dynamic vaults that give DeFi customers new methods to obtain yield produced from TradFi assets by combining their technology and knowledge base.

Mario Casiraghi, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance Executive & SingularityDAO Co-founder, said:

“The integration of Cogito Finance extends SingularityDAO’s goal of provisioning access to open finance. As TradFi and DeFi converge, the missions of SingularityDAO and Cogito align synergistically. Cogito’s innovative RWA framework plays a crucial role in this. By integrating our products, we can deliver a more holistic proposition to end users, marking a significant leap forward in the financialization of Web 3.0 for the benefit of all, as well as the broader ASI ecosystem.”

Cloris Chen, CEO of Cogito Finance, added:

“This integration perfectly blends the strengths of both companies in a holistic onchain financial solution. By integrating Cogito’s tokenized products into SingularityDAO’s cutting-edge AI-driven portfolio management system, we are bringing institutional-grade, low-risk, and sustainable investment options to a broader audience in the blockchain space. SingularityDAO’s expertise in decentralized financial access will ensure a truly permissionless approach, which perfectly aligns with Cogito’s mission to make tokenized RWAs more accessible, secure, and efficient for all market participants, whilst setting new benchmarks for regulated DeFi solutions.”

For DeFi investors, SingularityDAO’s portfolio management vaults provide the best-in-class solution since they are based on cutting-edge AI and machine learning algorithms that generate high-quality yield and effectively control counterparty and credit risk. Regulated onchain vaults will increase real world asset returns and improve investor accessibility, security, and compliance with DeFi. By establishing new benchmarks for safe and effective asset management systems, this integration seeks to accelerate the use of blockchain technology in the financial industry.

Efinity and Casper Network led altcoin gains with strong trading volume on MEXC and Bitget. Sector-specific tokens in gaming, NFTs, AI, and privacy recorded major price increases. Altcoins outperformed Bitcoin’s stability as investors focused on blockchain innovation projects. According to data released by Phoenix Group, the crypto market recorded a large rally on April 28, 2025, with several altcoins posting daily gains. Investors displayed renewed sector-specific interest in blockchain gaming, NFTs, scalability projects, AI initiatives, and privacy tokens. Trading volumes across key exchanges reflected increased engagement as altcoins outpaced Bitcoin’s relative stability.

Efinity (EFI) led the list of top gainers with an 80.8% increase, pushing its price to $0.21. The token’s market capitalization rose to approximately $301.8 million. A large portion of EFI’s trading volume was registered on MEXC Exchange. The price movement corresponded with broader interest in gaming and NFT-related blockchain ecosystems, sectors that have shown recurring trading spikes throughout 2025.

Casper Network (CSPR) ranked second among daily gainers, climbing 62.2% to trade at $0.11. By the end of the session, its market capitalization reached $213.3 million.

Supra (SUPRA) advanced 36.7%, pricing at $0.007 with a total market capitalization of $88.1 million. Trading activity for SUPRA was largely concentrated on Bybit. The gain positioned SUPRA among the leading smaller-cap tokens, showing increased momentum.

Monero (XMR), the largest token by market capitalization among the day’s top performers, rose by 34.5%. XMR closed at $308.38, expanding its market cap to $5.6 billion. KuCoin registered the highest volume of Monero trading for the day.

Pudgy Penguins’ PENGU Token Extends Uptrend Pudgy Penguins’ token, PENGU, climbed by 33.9%, reaching $0.80. The token’s market capitalization hit $836.5 million, driven largely by trading activity on BitMart. PENGU’s move reflected heightened interest among retail participants in NFT-linked tokens.

Reef token rose for five consecutive days as demand in the spot and futures market rose after it was delisted by Binance.

Reef (REEF) rose to a high of $0.0012 on Sept. 3, marking its highest point in a month and 106% above its lowest point last month. This recovery brings its market cap to over $25 million.

Reef’s recovery followed the launch of a new community developer fund by its developers, aimed at supporting projects related to lending protocols, hardware wallets, DAO infrastructure, and bridge integrations.

Reef’s rally led to a sharp increase in investor demand. Data from CoinGecko shows that the 24-hour trading volume jumped to $45 million on Tuesday, up from $23 million on Sept. 1, marking its highest point in nearly a month.

Additionally, Reef’s open interest in the futures market soared to $60 million, its highest level in two years, significantly higher than August’s low of $3 million.

Notably, Reef’s rebound occurred after the token was delisted by Binance, the most popular crypto exchange. Typically, cryptocurrencies tend to retreat after being delisted by tier-1 exchanges.

Data indicates that most of the trading is happening on Gate.io, followed by HTX, KuCoin, and Bitget.

Reef price crosses key resistance Reef price chart | Source: TradingView Reef rose to a high of $0.0013, crossing the important resistance point at $0.0011, its lowest swing in August last year.

Before its rebound, Reef formed a falling wedge pattern, a popular bullish reversal indicator. The token has now rallied above the 50-day moving average, while the Relative Strength Index is nearing the overbought level of 70. The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures an asset’s rate of change.

The Average Directional Index, which measures the strength of a trend, was at 50 and pointing downwards. Therefore, the token will likely retreat briefly as traders take profits before potentially resuming the bullish trend.

It was a sea of green in the cryptocurrency industry after the jumbo interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

Bitcoin (BTC) led the gains, cruising above the important resistance point at $63,000 for the first time since Aug. 27. 

Most of the large gains occurred among smaller altcoins. Reef (REEF) went parabolic, soaring to a high of $0.0048, its highest point since March 12. It has been one of the best-performing altcoins this month, jumping by over 670% from its lowest point and bringing its market cap to over $102 million.

Reef, which stands for reliable, extensible, efficient, and fast, surged a month after Binance delisted it from its exchange. This indicates that it is likely going through a short squeeze, with most of its trading happening on Gate.io and WhiteBIT.

First Neiro on ETH (NEIRO) has also been one of the best-performing coins this month. It rose to a record high of $0.00098, up by over 3,865% from its lowest level in September. 

Other top performers in this crypto comeback were coins like Solar (SXP) and Billy (BILLY), which rose by over 50%.

This price action coincided with the performance of other assets. In the stock market, popular indices like the Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100 rose by over 1%, continuing the bull market that has been ongoing over the past few months.

Fed’s jumbo rate cut The surge happened after the Federal Reserve decided to slash interest rates by 0.50%, in line with most analysts’ expectations. The Fed also hinted that it would deliver more cuts if the labor market continued to weaken.

Most crypto analysts believe that the ongoing rally has legs. In a note, Ki Young Ju, wrote that the crypto bull run was still underway. In another X post, Ju, who is the founder of CryptoQuant noted that institutional investors were no longer shorting Bitcoin.

Additionally, spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen inflows for five consecutive days, indicating that institutions likely bought the dip. According to Santiment, crypto sentiment has continued rising, which is a positive catalyst for the industry.

And as crypto.news reported earlier, the crypto fear and greed index has moved from the fear zone and risen to its highest point in weeks. In most periods, altcoins do well when the index is in an uptrend.

With big news impending for Bitgert, the crypto market is looking closely at the movements of both Render Coin and Reef Coin. Investors speculate about which one, between Render Coin’s utility in GPU computing and Reef Coin’s DeFi focus, will offer stability in the event of Bitgert‘s relentless ecosystem expansion.

How Competitive is Render Coin Against Reef Coin and Bitgert? Render Coin serves to empower the Render Network, a completely decentralized network for 3D rendering and GPU computing. Render Coin bridges the divide between artists and developers in need of ample, affordable computational power and those capable of supplying it. This positions Render Coin as an indispensable player within the growing digital economy. Render Coin’s tokenomics configuration for the network is fundamentally grounded on providing liquidity that facilitates real-time rendering tasks and promotes efficient utilization of computing resources. Render Coin also facilitates great community governance, where token holders make decisions about future upgrades and improvements on the network.

Where Does Reef Coin Stand Against Render Coin and Bitgert? Reef Coin is the token representative for the Reef Chain, a scalable blockchain that is EVM-compatible, and optimized for DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. Reef Coin is built on top of Substrate, providing developers with almost instant, low-cost transactions. This is ideal for decentralized applications. With Reef Coin’s bridging across multiple blockchains and compatibility with Solidity, Reef Coin pursues seamless dApp experiences targeted at developers and users alike. As this ecosystem grows rapidly, Reef Coin forms the base for its decentralized governance, staking, and transaction fees.

About Bitgert: The Render Coin and Reef Coin Crusader Unlike Reef Coin and Render Coin, the unique mix of near-zero gas fees combined with an astonishing 100,000 TPS transaction speed has positioned Bitgert as one of the most advanced blockchains. Products for shaping the environment include PayBrise, Bitgert Swap, the Bitgert.exchange, and so on—all part of an all-encompassing user-friendly environment. The tokenomics of Bitgert have been designed to be long-term sustainable, modeled on a deflationary system that will reward holders for contributing to the ecosystem. As Bitgert approaches the moment of its major announcement, it seems like the project is in preparation to make an impact on investor appeal for the wider market.

Pricing Performance: Render Coin vs. Reef Coin vs. Bitgert Over the past 24 hours, Render Coin has fluctuated between $6.34 and $6.77, while the weekly range was from $5.85 to $6.80. Reef Coin briefly moved between $0.005051 and $0.005381 during the last 24 hours, with the 7-day range between $0.004087 and $0.006495. Meanwhile, Unlike Render Coin or Reef Coin, Bitgert has continued to steer steadily, with a 24-hour range from $0.00000007951 and $0.00000008518, with a 7-day range from $0.00000007863 and $0.00000008505. Small oscillations of Bitgert prices assure its stability and attract investors interested in such predictability in the market.

Will Bitgert’s Big Revelation Doom Render Coin and Reed Coin? While Reef Coin and Render Coin wait for the big announcement of Bitgert, variation in the price of any of the coins may attract market sentiment. Bitgert has projected an excellent show due to its negligible gas charges on the transactions, along with hyper-scaling measures. This places Bitgert in an excellent position against Reef coin and Render coin, making it a solid choice among investors amidst the market’s turbulence.

Reef Finance, a blockchain for decentralized finance, gaming, and non-fungible tokens, has surged in the two months since Binance delisted it.

Reef (REEF) token rose to $0.010 on Monday, Oct. 14, up by over 1,500% from its lowest level this year, making it one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies.

Notably, the Reef coin has risen by almost 1,200% since Aug. 26, when it was delisted by Binance, the biggest crypto exchange in the industry. Its market cap has jumped to over $223 million.

Reef price performance since Aug. 26 | Source: TradingView In a statement at the time, Binance also delisted other tokens like ForTube, Loom Network, VGX Token, and Ellipsis. It cited several factors such as low trading volume and liquidity, the commitment of the team to the project, new regulatory requirements, and smart contract stability.

Most of Reef’s trading has shifted to other centralized exchanges. According to CoinGecko, WhiteBit had the biggest share of trading volume in the last 24 hours. It is followed by other exchanges like HTX, KuCoin, and Bitget.

This rebound is likely due to the developers making significant improvements after the Binance delisting. They initiated a new community developer fund to incentivize developers in the ecosystem. Some of the potential dApps to be funded include those in industries such as lending, DAO infrastructure, and hardware.

Reef has also made other progress since the Binance delisting. For example, Hydra Coin announced that it was building the first NFT battle card game on the Reef Chain.

https://twitter.com/HydraCoinX/status/1845558202257023296

Additionally, the developers are collaborating with VIA Labs, a blockchain bridging solution, which will begin bridge development this week. They are also in discussions with perpetual decentralized exchanges about revenue sharing and RPC infrastructure providers.

Reef has also gained momentum as the number of holders has increased. According to CoinCarp, the token now has almost 23,000 holders, significantly higher than its level before the Binance delisting.

Reef token has become overbought Reef Finance price chart | Source: TradingView Reef’s surge continued as Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies maintained their strong rebound on Monday. It has flipped the key resistance point at $0.0053, its highest swing since March 2024.

Reef has remained above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages, which is a bullish sign. However, the Relative Strength Index and the Stochastic Oscillator have moved to overbought levels.

Therefore, while more gains are possible, the coin may experience a pullback in the coming days due to profit-taking. If this happens, it may retest the key support at $0.0053.
