OpenClaw is a major advancement in AI, shifting from language processing to 
agency. AI agents with system-level access pose security risks but have 
transformative potential. The age of agentic AI will significantly impact 
programming and technology.

Net selling from altcoins topped $209 billion, far outpacing the sell volumes 
seen during Bitcoin&#8217;s five-month sell-off. Will these traders reposition into 
Bitcoin?

The long-term value of XRP is increasingly tied to the development of the 
global financial infrastructure it was designed to support. Rather than 
relying on short-term price speculation or fixed adoption timelines, XRP was 
designed to operate at the plumbing level of global finance, where adoption 
depends on regulatory clarity, institutional integration, liquidity depth, and 
real transaction flow. These systems are built quietly, tested extensively, 
and activated only when reliability is proven. Why Financial Infrastructure 
Comes Before XRP Mass Adoption XRP&#8217;s journey has never been hitting precise 
timestamps on the chart, because utility does not operate on a calendar. An 
analyst known as ChartNerd on X has revealed that the journey to $27 has been 
a projected path for years, and based on a stack of multiple Fibonacci time 
maps and extension targets, the road to 2030 is where the vision fully aligns.

Being Infrastrucutre ChartNerd argues that what the market is witnessing right 
now is the groundwork for the foundation-building phase led by Ripple, 
following regulatory clarity from the US Securities and Exchange Commission 
(SEC). This phase includes expanding institutional infrastructure, banking 
charters, and ETF inflows, all of which require time to scale before 
translating into measurable price impact. In that context, the short-term 
noise might fluctuate about the price action. However, the macro trend for XRP 
points toward progressive valuation milestones of $8, $13, and ultimately the 
$27 zone targets as the global settlement adoption scales. This thesis is not 
about timing individual candles, but about a structural shift towards 2030, 
where utility-driven value overtakes market speculation. How The XRP Ledger 
Becomes A Safe Infrastructure To Integrate The passing of the Clarity Act 
would mark a decisive turning point for XRP. A crypto analyst known as Bird on 
X has noted that the leading altcoin already has a unique level of legal 
clarity due to prior court rulings that confirmed it is not inherently a 
security when traded on secondary markets, an advantage most digital assets 
are still waiting to acquire. Related Reading: Japan’s XRP Integration Signals 
A Shift In Global Capital Flows According to Bird, the Clarity Act would move 
a step further by establishing a defined regulatory framework for digital 
assets, especially how they are classified and used, removing uncertainty for 
institutions, payment providers, and large-scale capital allocators. Once the 
rules are written into law, the biggest barrier, which is regulatory 
hesitation, will no longer sit in the background of every integration 
decision. With regulatory hesitation reduced, broader adoption can accelerate, 
liquidity will deepen, and real utility can finally scale at speed, because 
companies can now gain the confidence to build on and integrate the XRP Ledger 
(XRPL) without worrying about sudden rule changes. Featured image from Adobe

Centralization in the AI industry is driven by the concentration of capital in 
large companies. Decentralization technologies can address both funding and 
operational challenges in AI. Crypto rails enable permissionless access to 
computing resources, enhancing decentralization.
