Bitcoin’s price volatility tends to scare off buyers, but data shows investors 
who hold for at least three years have a higher chance of locking in 
significant returns.

When buying Bitcoin, don’t expect profit for at least 3 years: Data

A new outlook from market analyst Luke Suther shows a long-term valuation path 
for the XRP price, stretching from its current value of under $1.5 to over 
$18, $100, $500, and even $10,000 per coin. The projection ties price to real- 
world adoption and institutional use rather than speculation, highlighting how 
XRP’s value could grow as payment infrastructure integrates blockchain 
settlement. XRP Price Ladder From $2 To $100 In his post on X, Suther laid out 
a detailed price ladder for XRP, arguing that the cryptocurrency’s progress 
toward major milestones reflects real-world utility and institutional 
adoption. At the $2 mark, the framework begins with early-adopter corridors 
opening and pilot programs demonstrating genuine bank participation. In this 
stage, financial institutions begin experimenting with XRP, testing whether 
blockchain-based settlement can improve speed and reduce cost compared to 
traditional banking systems. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts 1,500% XRP 
Price Increase To $15 If This Is A Wave 2 From there, the path to $18 is built 
on the scaling of cross-border payments, with activity expected to expand 
significantly. This target is also supported by improvements in regulatory 
clarity that enable financial flows to move more freely and give institutions 
confidence in the legal framework surrounding XRP. The next major milestone 
arrives at $100. At this level, Suther expects XRP to serve as a core bridge 
asset for global payments, meaning it would be regularly used to convert value 
between different national currencies during international transactions. In 
such a scenario, liquidity becomes the driving force behind the price rally. 
As more institutions tap into the XRP Ledger (XRPL), deeper pools of XRP would 
be needed to ensure that payments move instantly across corridors connecting 
banks and financial markets. XRP Price Expansion From $500 To Over $10,000 
Following its projected price rally to $100, Suther has set $500 as XRP’s next 
ambitious target. The analyst has stated that for XRP to reach this level, the 
asset would need to support deep liquidity pools capable of handling multi- 
trillion dollar flows. At this stage, he says the network effect would also 
become a powerful growth driver. Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP Price At 
$100 Is Not Insane If You Understand This The next target after the $500 
target is $1000. By this level, the analyst stated that systemic reliance on 
XRP would begin to form. In that environment, banks, multinational 
corporations, and payment providers would conduct routine financial operations 
directly on rails powered by XRP’s liquidity. Such reliance would mean XRP 
would no longer be treated as a speculative token but a digital asset 
supporting real economic activity. For his final and most dramatic target, 
Suther predicts an explosive surge above $10,000. In this stage, XRP is 
expected to serve as a global settlement backbone used across international 
financial systems. He stressed that the cryptocurrency’s price growth would 
not be based on hype or market excitement. Instead, it would reflect 
structural demand that highlights the scale of utility underpinning the XRPL 
network. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto trading firm BlockFills explores restructuring amid losses and customer lawsuit

Apollo Crypto has made Hyperliquid its largest altcoin position, with head of 
research Pratik Kala arguing that the protocol stands apart not only because 
of its product-market fit, but because its token design and expanding market 
structure give traders something few crypto venues currently offer: usable, 
revenue-linked infrastructure. In comments shared via X, Kala described 
Hyperliquid in unusually direct terms. “Hyperliquid is our biggest altcoin 
position in the fund. Why? Because it is phenomenal. The product works,” he 
said. For Apollo, the case appears to rest on two pillars: the exchange’s 
traction as a trading venue, and a token model Kala framed as cleaner and more 
transparent than much of the industry’s recent experimentation. He contrasted 
Hyperliquid’s buyback structure with the more convoluted token systems that 
defined earlier market cycles. “The tokenomics is refreshing. It uses 97 to 
99%, depending on how you want to calculate it, of all the revenues to buy 
back its token in a very transparent manner. No governance mumbo-jumbo. No, 
you know, a token feeding into some other token and some dynamic inflation, 
burning, minting stuff that has destroyed many people’s capital and brains, to 
be frank, over the last few years.” Related Reading: Next “Binance Killer”? 
Hyperliquid Now Dominates DeFi Derivatives, New Report Shows That framing is 
central to Apollo’s thesis. Kala’s argument is not simply that Hyperliquid has 
momentum, but that it has paired a working product with a token accrual model 
that traders can actually follow. In a sector where valuation stories often 
hinge on future governance or vague utility, he presented Hyperliquid as 
comparatively straightforward: trading activity generates revenue, and that 
revenue feeds token buybacks. He also pointed to adoption trends. According to 
Kala, “a lot of the volumes are going there,” while market makers and funds 
are increasingly using the platform. He argued that Hyperliquid has been 
superior “in many, many ways,” particularly in how it handles new listings, 
pre-markets and other product extensions. A major part of the bullish case, 
though, is HIP-3, which Kala said is already opening up tradable opportunities 
outside the usual crypto schedule. He described a weekend trade tied to news 
that OpenAI had secured a contract after Anthropic would not allow its AI 
technology to be used by the Department of Defense. Because the development 
broke while traditional markets were closed, Kala said most market 
participants were effectively stuck on the sidelines. “Personally, I made 50%. 
How? Because HIP3, OpenAI, Anthropic were both trading on HIP3,” he said. 
“Liquidity is not fantastic, but OpenAI went up 50% on the weekend. Anthropic 
was static, could have expected that you could have taken a spread trade where 
you can short Anthropic and long open AI. Do it on HIP3, you can make money, 
you can generate alpha.” That example gets to the broader point Apollo is 
making. HIP-3 is not being pitched merely as another product vertical, but as 
a venue where traders can express event-driven views in assets that are 
normally inaccessible when news breaks. Kala said the market now includes 
private-market trading as well as listed equities and commodities such as oil, 
gold and silver on weekends. Related Reading: Hyperliquid (HYPE) Eyes Native 
Token Issuance With Latest Upgrade Plan He offered one data point to show 
early traction: during a recent silver mania, HIP-3 briefly accounted for 1% 
to 2% of global silver volumes, despite having launched only around a month to 
six weeks earlier. For Kala, that signals not retail novelty but serious 
engagement from hedge funds, sophisticated investors and active portfolio 
managers looking for round-the-clock execution. He added that HIP-3 revenues 
are split 50-50 between deployed markets and Hyperliquid, with Hyperliquid’s 
share feeding back into HYPE buybacks. From Apollo’s perspective, that 
strengthens the flywheel rather than diluting it. Kala also flagged what could 
come next. He said HIP-4, focused on prediction markets and options, could 
push the platform further, while regulatory shifts in the US may eventually 
open a path for a KYC-compliant version there. Competition exists, he 
acknowledged, including from rival platforms such as Lighter. But in Apollo’s 
view, Hyperliquid has already done something harder than launching a new 
venue: it has captured trader attention, liquidity and, increasingly, loyalty. 
At press time, HYPE traded at $30.485. Featured image created with DALL.E,
