Stablecoin Fintech KAST Raises $80M Series A to Build Global Digital Dollar Payments Platform

XRP price failed to stay above $1.40 and started a downside correction. The 
price is now holding the $1.3680 support and might aim for another increase. 
XRP price started a downside correction and declined below $1.4250. The price 
is now trading above $1.3680 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There 
was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $1.3890 on the hourly 
chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start 
another increase if it stays above $1.3680. XRP Price Dips Again XRP price 
failed to stay above $1.4350 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin 
and Ethereum. The price dipped below the $1.4250 and $1.4120 levels to enter a 
negative zone. The price even dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of 
the upward move from the $1.3217 swing low to the $1.4432 high. Besides, there 
was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $1.3890 on the hourly 
chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading above $1.3680 and the 
100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price 
might face resistance near the $1.3980 level. The first major resistance is 
near the $1.40 level, above which the price could rise and test $1.4250. A 
clear move above the $1.4250 resistance might send the price toward the $1.450 
resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.50 resistance. 
The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.5250. More Losses? If XRP 
fails to clear the $1.4250 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. 
Initial support on the downside is near the $1.3720 level. The next major 
support is near the $1.3680 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the 
upward move from the $1.3217 swing low to the $1.4432 high. If there is a 
downside break and a close below the $1.3680 level, the price might continue 
to decline toward $1.350. The next major support sits near the $1.3420 zone, 
below which the price could continue lower toward $1.3320. Any more losses 
might call for a test of $1.320. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD 
for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative 
Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support 
Levels – $1.3720 and $1.3680. Major Resistance Levels – $1.4250 and $1.4500.

XRP Price its Wall at $1.45, Downside Risks Begin Building

TRON has joined the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), an open initiative under the 
Linux Foundation that focuses on building shared infrastructure for the next 
generation of autonomous AI systems. The organization aims to coordinate 
technical standards and governance frameworks as agentic AI begins moving 
beyond experimental environments and into real-world applications. Related

Treasuries Accumulate Agentic AI refers to software agents capable of 
performing tasks independently, interacting with digital environments, and 
coordinating with other agents or systems. As these technologies expand into 
finance, enterprise automation, and digital services, developers and 
institutions increasingly push for open standards to prevent fragmentation 
across platforms. TRON joined the foundation as a Gold Member and secured a 
seat on the AAIF Governing Board, giving the blockchain network a direct role 
in shaping the initiative’s direction. The foundation’s membership includes 
several of the largest companies developing artificial intelligence today, 
including Anthropic, Block, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, Huawei, IBM, 
and SAP. Their participation signals that major technology firms want to 
influence how agentic AI systems communicate, transact, and integrate with 
existing infrastructure. TRON’s Stablecoin Dominance Creates Infrastructure 
for Automated Payments The announcement also highlights TRON’s growing role in 
the global stablecoin economy. The network has become one of the most widely 
used blockchain systems for stablecoin settlement and everyday digital 
payments, processing more than 22 billion dollars in daily transaction volume. 
Users across emerging markets rely on TRON to move stablecoins for 
remittances, merchant payments, and peer-to-peer transfers. In many regions 
with limited banking access, the network already functions as an alternative 
payment rail for dollar-denominated transactions. Stablecoins such as USDT 
dominate the ecosystem, and their circulation on TRON has turned the 
blockchain into a high-velocity settlement layer for digital dollars. As a 
result, large portions of global crypto payments now move through the network. 
These characteristics could become relevant beyond human users. If autonomous 
software agents begin executing payments or coordinating economic activity, 
systems will require fast and inexpensive settlement layers capable of 
handling continuous machine-to-machine transactions. Related Reading: Altcoins 
Approach Historic Stress Levels as 38% of Tokens Near All-Time Lows TRX Price 
Holds Above Key Moving Averages as Long-Term Uptrend Persists TRX continues to 
trade within a broader uptrend despite several months of consolidation. The 
weekly chart shows the token holding near $0.285 while maintaining support 
above its major moving averages, a structure that typically reflects sustained 
market demand rather than short-term speculation. Price currently trades above 
the 50-week, 100-week, and 200-week moving averages, all of which slope 
upward. This alignment indicates that the long-term trend remains intact even 
after the correction that followed the late-2025 rally. During that rally, TRX 
pushed toward the $0.38–$0.39 range before entering a period of sideways price 
action. Related Reading: The 31,900 Bitcoin Purge: Why March 4 Marked An
