I know that we keep hearing about manipulation in the market, but I feel like there's a limit to it... especially with just how MUCH crypto was bought up this year alone. Even with a literal supply crunch going on, the market is acting like 1 company doesnt own over 850,000 BTC
I think the crypto market needs a swift recovery because I dont think many people, retail or otherwise, will stick around by 2030 to see how things "turn out" if the market keeps reacting like this to outside forces.
I, like many other people expected XRPs price to be at least $5 a coin right now. Especially over the course of 2026 as we kept on hearing about new partnerships and banks using it as a payment rail for their stablecoins.
We went from 3% of all Ethereum being staked to currently over 36% of ALL ethereum now staked on the network... why isnt ETHs price 3x what it was last bull run if thats the case? Only 3.49% of ETH is left on tracked platforms... why is the price still so low?
This has been an incredible year for the cryptocurrency market news and adoption wise... but im still genuinely perplexed as to how prices are so low. How can 2 companies purchase 1.6 million Bitcoin in 24 months and prices keep going lower?
Im going to be completely honest here. Its very weird that despite all the adoption Bitcoin is still under $250,000 a coin. Its insanely odd that despite 1,700 NDAs that Ripple has XRP is almost near $1 a coin.
