Bitcoin Price Holds Steady — Bullish Monthly Structure Suggests Rally Continuation

On-chain data shows Dogecoin is the only cryptocurrency among the top 10 where 
investors are currently realizing more losses than profits. Dogecoin Investors 
Realized $124 Million In Loss Over The Last 24 Hours In a new post on X, the 
on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has shared how the major cryptocurrencies 
compare against each other in terms of the Realized Loss and Realized Profit 
metrics. Related Reading: XRP Down 3% After SEC Settlement Stalls, But Social 
Media Turns Bullish These indicators measure, as their names already imply, 
the amount of loss/profit that the investors on a given network are realizing 
through their transactions right now. The metrics work by going through the 
transfer history of each coin being sold to see what price it was moved at 
prior to this. If this previous value is less than the price that the coin&#8217;s 
now being sold at, then the token&#8217;s sale is leading to profit realization. On 
the other hand, it being higher suggests loss realization. The Realized Profit 
sums up the difference between the two prices involved in all sales of the 
former type, while the Realized Loss does the same for the latter ones. Now, 
here is the table shared by the analytics firm that shows how the 24-hour 
values of the two metrics currently stack up for the top 10 coins by market 
cap: As is visible above, the scale of the Realized Loss and Realized Profit 
differs greatly between the different assets, but one pattern is consistent: 
the latter outweighs the former, implying a trend of net profit-taking from 
the investors. One asset, however, doesn&#8217;t fit the mold: Dogecoin. The 24-hour 
Realized Loss for the memecoin stands at around $132 million, while the 
Realized Profit is much lower with a value of just $5 million. As such, it 
would appear that while the participants in the rest of the sector have been 
harvesting gains, DOGE holders have been panic capitulating at a loss instead. 
Among these top coins, the investors of Bitcoin have realized the largest 
profit, with the indicator&#8217;s value sitting at a whopping $1.3 billion. The 
Realized Loss is also restricted to just $33 million for the number one 
cryptocurrency, indicating selling has been heavily lopsided toward profit- 
taking. Related Reading: Bitcoin Binance Open Interest Shoots Up: Warning For 
BTC? Things are more balanced for Ethereum, the digital asset ranked number 
two. Its Realized Loss of $18.4 million is roughly half that of its Realized 
Profit of $35.2 million. The fact that profit realization is so dominant for 
the likes of Bitcoin, however, might actually be a bearish sign. Historically, 
such market conditions have made tops more likely. A dominance of loss-taking, 
on the other hand, can facilitate reversals to the upside. As such, while not 
a given, Dogecoin may not be in a bad position, at least in this regard. DOGE 
Price Dogecoin touched the $0.170 mark during the weekend, but the memecoin 
has seen a retrace under $0.165 to kick off the week. Featured image from

US regulators and market watchers are eyeing a fresh valuation study that puts 
XRP on track for a dramatic price surge by 2030. Related Reading: The $100K 
Mirage: Bitcoin’s Rally Not Backed By On-Chain Strength According to Valhil 
Capital’s deep‑dive report, XRP could climb from its current price into a 
range between $4,813 and $9,000 in just five years. That forecast hinges on a 
model that treats XRP not only as a quick way to move money but also as a 
store of value. Model Weighs Store Of Value According to the Athey &amp; Mitchnick 
Model used by Valhil Capital, XRP’s role goes way beyond sending payments. The 
study gives much more weight to people holding XRP like they would gold. In 
their view, as more folks start treating XRP as a place to park money, fewer 
coins stay in circulation. That tight supply pushes the price higher. The 
model blends economic ideas, real‑world trends, and crypto market moves to 
arrive at its numbers. Key Figures Drive Forecast Based on reports, the model 
assumes daily transactions on XRP Ledger will hit $700 billion by 2030. It 
uses a one‑second transaction speed and the current 56.5 billion XRP supply. 
With a 10% discount rate and a five‑year adoption window, the study pegs a 
mid‑case price of $4,813 if about 10% of global payments run on XRPL. In a 
more bullish view, the researchers push store‑of‑value demand to $1 
quadrillion, which shoots the price beyond $9,000. Even a $100 trillion demand 
level would land XRP at $908 per token. Virtuous Cycle Could Fuel Growth Based 
on reports from Valhil Capital, the so‑called Virtuous Cycle Flywheel could 
spark a feedback loop. First, higher use of XRP for cross‑border payments and 
FX trades drives up demand. Then, price gains lure more holders to lock away 
their coins, shrinking the free float. That scarcity pushes prices even 
higher. As value climbs, new use cases could pop up, drawing in more users and 
adding another spin to the cycle. Regulation And Competition Loom Large XRP’s 
path to mass use isn’t smooth. Legal questions still swirl around its status 
in the US and elsewhere. That uncertainty may scare off big financial players. 
Plus, central bank digital currencies, stablecoins, and rival blockchains are 
all chasing the same slice of the cross‑border market. Related Reading: Crypto 
Bombshell: Developer Claims XRP Could Hit $20,000 Valhil Capital calls its 
forecast “conservative” because it skips markets like derivatives and real 
estate. Yet it also admits it can’t guess future rules or fresh ways people 
might use XRP. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
