XRP became the most traded asset on South Korea&#8217;s Upbit exchange in the last 
seven days, pulling in $110 million in 24-hour volume and outpacing both top 
cryptos Bitcoin and Ethereum. The surge came alongside the biggest inflows 
into US XRP exchange-traded funds in four months, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum 
funds saw money flowing out. Related Reading: XRP Bulls Gain Momentum As ETF 
Inflows Reach Multi-Month High CME And NASDAQ Signal Growing Institutional 
Interest CME Group and NASDAQ announced they will launch crypto index futures 
on June 8, covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Chainlink, and 
Stellar Lumens in a single contract. The move points to growing institutional 
infrastructure being built around regulated digital assets. XRP itself climbed 
4% in 24 hours to almost $1.5, while Bitcoin traded at $81,450 and Ethereum 
sat at $2,287. The price action followed Thursday&#8217;s markup vote on the CLARITY 
Act, a proposed federal law that is driving fresh optimism across payment- 
focused cryptocurrencies. XRP was not alone. Stellar Lumens, Cardano, and 
Hedera all posted gains that outran Bitcoin on the day. Reports indicate these 
tokens share a common thread — all are built around payments, settlement, and 
tokenization. What The CLARITY Act Would Do The bill, if passed, would lock in 
a federal court ruling that XRP sales on secondary markets do not qualify as 
securities. That ruling had long been in legal limbo. Making it permanent 
federal law would remove a regulatory cloud that has followed XRP for years. 
The legislation also contains a provision — Section 401 — that would allow US 
banks to use digital assets for payments, custody, and settlement without 
needing prior regulatory approval. For Ripple, which operates the XRP network 
and issues the RLUSD dollar-backed stablecoin, that opens a direct path into 
the American banking system. A Broader Reset For Payment Chains Stellar 
Lumens, Cardano, and Hedera are catching the same wave. Based on reports, 
traders are treating all four as part of a single category — networks built 
for institutional payments — and pricing them accordingly. When the regulatory 
picture shifts for one, it shifts for all. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces

environment where banks can plug digital infrastructure directly into existing 
payment systems. The CLARITY Act has not passed yet, but the markup vote was 
enough to move markets. Traders are not waiting for the final vote to make 
their bets. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

Strategy aims for $100B AUM with STRC liquid credit product

Crypto analyst Tice has declared that an Ethereum price rally to $4,000 isn’t 
a moonshot but one that is bound to happen. This came as he revealed that he 
was accumulating ETH based on the technicals, which point to a buy sentiment. 
Analyst Reveals Ethereum Price Rally To $4,000 As A Structural Magnet In an X 
post, Tice stated that an Ethereum price rally to $4,000 wasn’t a moonshot but 
a structural magnet. He further remarked that he was loading up on ETH while 
everyone is giving up. His conviction in ETH is based on the technicals, which 
point to an imminent rally for the second-largest crypto by market cap.

A Rise Above $10,000 The analyst noted that ETH’s structure was compressing 
while liquidity had been flushed. At the same time, the Ethereum price is 
forming higher lows under maximum doubt, and it is clear that the forced 
selling has been absorbed. Tice declared that this is not a weakness but the 
accumulation phase coming to an end, which will then usher in the breakout. 
Tice also mentioned that the Ethereum price structure has refused to break 
under this much fear, which points to an imminent violent move to the upside. 
In another X post, the analyst doubled down on his bullish outlook for ETH. He 
noted that Ethereum is the most uncomfortable asset to hold right now, but 
that is exactly why it is going to explode. He likened the current Ethereum 
price action to that of Netflix, which he noted spent years in a range and 
retested the lows six times before seeing a parabolic move to the upside. Tice 
declared that Ethereum is running the identical playbook, with the same 
compression, same frustration, and the same crowd walking away. As such, the 
analyst assured that ETH is not broken but is simply loading for its parabolic 
move to the upside. Sell Signal Flashes For ETH On the other hand, crypto 
analyst Ali Martinez has provided a bearish outlook for Ethereum, noting that 
a new sell signal has just flashed for ETH. He pointed to the TD Sequential 
indicator, which he said has been incredibly precise at anticipating ETH 
trends over the past year. The analyst added that every signal this indicator 
has flashed on the weekly timeframe has been validated by significant price 
action. Related Reading: Ethereum Shortfall Says Price Is Headed Lower Unless 
This Happens As such, Martinez believes that the Ethereum price is entering 
another corrective phase with this new sell signal. He highlighted three 
downside targets if selling pressure accelerates. These targets are $1,900, 
$1,565, and $1,090, which are the short-term, mid-term, and long-term downside 
targets, respectively. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading 
at around $2,260, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from 
CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
