Crypto analyst ChartNerd has predicted that the XRP price could rally 10x if a 
specific trend repeats. The analyst also revealed what needs to happen for the 
altcoin to invalidate this potential parabolic rally. XRP Price Could Rally 
10x If This 2017 Pattern Plays Out In an X post, ChartNerd predicted that the 
XRP price could rally 1,000% if a bullish pattern from the 2017 bull cycle 
plays out. The analyst noted that during the 2017 euphoric run, the altcoin 
had a 3-month cool-off period where it successfully dropped towards its 
3-month 20-EMA for a retest before a 25x move to the upside. Related Reading: 
Analyst Says Get Ready For XRP Price Above $4 This Cycle ChartNerd revealed 
that the XRP price has now witnessed the exact same set-up in this 2025 bull 
cycle. The altcoin recorded a huge breakout last year and is now seeing a 
3-month cool-off period towards a 3-month 20-EMA retest. The analyst stated 
that if history is set to repeat, XRP could see a 10x upside move, signaling a 
blow-off top. The analyst also alluded to the 2021 lower high, which he noted 
ties up with both the monthly candle close highs from 2017 and also the SEC 
lawsuit, which is believed to have suppressed the XRP price during the 2021 
cycle. ChartNerd added that to invalidate this potential rally, XRP will need 
to close below its 3-month 20-EMA at $1.20. Until then, he noted that the 
bulls remain in control. Meanwhile, ChartNerd outlined $8, $13, and $27 as the 
potential top-out points for the XRP price. Notably, a rally to any of these 
price targets will mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. Crypto 
analyst Egrag Crypto had also previously predicted that XRP could reach $27 in 
this bull run if it mirrors the 2017 price action. XRP Could Be The Next 
Crypto To Record A Major Run Market commentator Milk Road suggested in an X 
post that the XRP price could soon record a major run. The platform cited 
bullish fundamentals for the altcoin, including the fact that RLUSD crossed $1 
billion in market cap in record time. The run to this milestone is said to be 
faster than almost any stablecoin Ripple has ever pushed. Related Reading:

Furthermore, Milk Road noted that Abu Dhabi’s ADGM has opened the door for 
institutions to use RLUSD as real collateral, which is also bullish for the 
XRP price. The market commentator stated that global liquidity with regulated 
on-ramps could mean the kind of flows that crypto hasn’t seen in months. It is 
also worth noting that XRP is seeing significant flows into its ecosystem 
through the U.S. spot ETFs. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading 
at around $2.18, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from 
CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin mining in China is rising again. From dominance to ban to resurgence, 
this makes an engaging story.

Why China’s Bitcoin mining activity is surging again after a 4-year crackdown

South Korea&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, is currently under 
scrutiny by regulators following a significant hack that led to the 
unauthorized withdrawal of approximately $36.9 million in assets on the Solana 
(SOL) network. The breach impacted over 20 different tokens and has prompted 
Upbit to freeze assets on its platform while an investigation unfolds. Lazarus 
Group Tied To Upbit Hack Authorities are now investigating the possibility of 
North Korean involvement in the cyber attack. Reports suggest that a group 
affiliated with North Korea’s intelligence agency, the notorious Lazarus 
Group, may have orchestrated the hack, which Upbit has described as an 
&#8220;abnormal withdrawal.&#8221; This group has been consistently linked to several 
high-profile crypto heists in recent years, and the US Federal Bureau of 
Investigation (FBI) has identified North Korean cyber operations as one of the 
most sophisticated and persistent threats. Related Reading: Hyperliquid (HYPE) 
Ready For A Significant Surge To $50: Key Levels Identified The recent attack 
coincidentally occurred just days before the sixth anniversary of a previous 
major breach, in which Upbit lost 342,000 Ethereum (ETH) to North Korean 
hackers. According to an unnamed government official, this latest hack bears 
similarities to a 2019 incident in which approximately 58 billion won in 
cryptocurrencies was stolen, also attributed to the Lazarus Group. In response 
to the attack, the South Korean National Police Agency has launched an 
investigation into the matter, although officials have not provided further 
comments on the case. Upbit&#8217;s operator, Dunamu, confirmed that an in-depth 
investigation into the cause and extent of the asset outflow is currently 
underway. Crypto Exchange Moves Funds To Cold Storage The cryptocurrency 
exchange’s CEO Oh Kyung-seok stated that as soon as abnormal withdrawal 
activity was detected, Upbit promptly suspended all deposit and withdrawal 
services. &#8220;We are conducting a comprehensive inspection, prioritizing the 
protection of member assets,&#8221; he said in a notice to users. Following the 
discovery of the unauthorized transactions, Upbit has taken steps to freeze 
the affected funds wherever possible. To prevent any further unauthorized 
transfers, the exchange has shifted all remaining assets to cold storage, 
ensuring “a secure environment for funds.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To 
Recover $100,000: BTIG Cites Key Reasons For Optimism Upbit is also said to be 
working with relevant project teams to freeze assets on-chain, having already 
blocked a portion of the stolen funds related to the cryptocurrency Solayer 
(LAYER). The exchange has indicated that deposits and withdrawals will only 
resume once full security checks are completed. Dunamu has vowed to reimburse 
customers for any losses with business funds as part of its commitment to its 
users. It remains to be seen what additional information the country&#8217;s 
authorities will release in the coming days, as well as potential refund 
deadlines for affected individuals. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from
