Bitcoin breaks through $78,000, and the market moves out of the extreme fear range

The crypto market is recovering, with BTC trading above $78k, up about 2% day over day. After breaking $75k, a short squeeze emerged; spot ETFs have seen consecutive net inflows, and MicroStrategy’s additional purchases have driven growth in institutional holdings. Open interest is rising, funding rates are falling, and even turning negative, suggesting potential explosive upside. Tensions on the geopolitical front have eased, and the fear index has rebounded back into a fear range—sentiment has improved, but it’s not yet a full bull market. To hold the $78k–$83k range steadily, improve liquidity, and maintain macro stability, we can enter a long-term bull market. This article was first published by Chain News ABMedia.

XRP Surges 24,602% Despite Ripple's Ongoing Sales — Debate Reignites Over Token Dump Claims

Viral thread claims Ripple sells XRP monthly to fund operations and dilute holders. It cites 100B total supply, 55B locked, 1B/month release, 70–80% relocked, and 200–300M XRP for ops (~$400M/mo); critics say price tracks Bitcoin and escrow dilution fades. Abstract: The article examines claims that Ripple systematically sells XRP to fund operations, detailing the tokenomics (100B XRP, 55B in escrow with 1B/mo release and relocking, 200–300M for ops) and presenting counterarguments that XRP price movements align more with Bitcoin, not ongoing sales, while escrow shrinkage reduces future dilution and XRP has posted large gains since inception.
