Ethereum Options Show Bullish Bias Despite Surge in Put Trading Volume

Proponents of XRP are stepping up their pitch this week, calling the token 
“one of the greatest wealth transfers in history.” They argue it’s more than 
just another crypto. You’ll hear claims that XRP is already reshaping global 
finance and leaving old systems in the dust. According to influencer Coach JV, 
Ripple is building a whole new rails for money. He says XRP isn’t here to 
compete with banks. It’s here to replace them. Related Reading: Ethereum 
Network Awakens—Massive On-Chain Moves Signal What’s Coming He points out that 
transactions on the XRP Ledger settle in 3–5 seconds and cost fractions of a 
penny. That beats SWIFT transfers, which can take days and cost up to $50 per 
payment. XRP still trades around $2,25 but that figure, he argues, won’t stay 
low for long if the token keeps winning regulatory approvals and new partners. 
XRP is the most disruptive financial technology of our lifetime. Ripple isn’t 
just competing with the banking system, it’s replacing it. The old system is 
dead. The new financial rails are being laid right before your eyes. Stay 
asleep and you’ll miss the greatest wealth transfer… — Coach, JV (@Coachjv_) 
July 2, 2025 Ripple’s Technology Versus Legacy Rails Based on reports, 
RippleNet now counts more than 300 financial institutions in its network. Yet 
daily on‑chain volumes for XRP hover around $1 billion—small next to global 
cross‑border flows of roughly $150 billion per day. Banks are testing the 
tech, but most haven’t shifted large sums yet. That gap between tests and 
real‑world use is one reason XRP’s price has stayed below its all‑time high 
for seven years. Push For Regulatory Clarity XRP backers are watching the US 
carefully. They see growing buzz around spot XRP ETFs. Analysts like Eric 
Balchunas have given those filings up to 95% odds of approval by year‑end. If 
an ETF hits a US exchange, they say, more money will pour in. Ripple has also 
been chasing money‑transmitter licenses in Europe and Asia. Every new license, 
they believe, brings Ripple a step closer to mainstream use. Community Calls 
For Patience Coach JV keeps telling followers not to panic over a stagnant 
price. He uses phrases like “greatest wealth transfer in history” to drive 
home his point. In an earlier tweet, he promised “unimaginable wealth” for 
anyone who holds on. Other voices, such as commentator Edoardo Farina, point 
out that only about 1 to 2 million people hold XRP today. That number, they 
say, leaves room for 100 million or more newcomers—and more buyers often means 
higher prices. Related Reading: The Silent Bitcoin Accumulation: Public 
Companies’ Surprising H1 2025 Lead Analysts Caution Over Hype Even so, some 
experts urge caution. They note that bold forecasts don’t guarantee buy‑in 
from big banks or regulators. An ETF approval won’t force funds to rush in 
overnight. And test programs don’t always turn into full rollouts. For now, 
XRP remains a high‑risk play. Investors should track on‑chain metrics and 
regulatory milestones before getting swept up in the hype. Featured image from

Rate Cut Bets Surge After ADP Miss as BTC Eyes $110,000 Breakout

The Ethereum price is flashing major upside signals as on-chain and market 
activity align toward a potential breakout to the $3,000 level. With crypto 
exchange balances falling to their lowest in nine years, stablecoin rails 
hitting record highs, and Spot Ethereum ETF inflows spiking last month, 
analysts now describe ETH as a “powder keg” primed for explosive movement. 
Ethereum Price Eyes A $3,300 Breakout The Ethereum price action is drawing 
attention as it continues to trade within a well-defined consolidation range, 
hovering near $2,555 at the time of writing. Based on a recently released 
technical analysis by crypto analyst Pentoshi on X social media, ETH could be 
on the verge of a significant move, with $3,300 marked as the next bullish 
target in the near term. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts $10,000 ATH 
For Ethereum This Cycle, Here’s Why The crypto expert’s chart reveals that 
since early May 2025, Ethereum has been locked between two key levels—a 
support zone around $2,190 and resistance near $2,750. This range has remained 
intact for over eight weeks, signaling a period of accumulation and low 
volatility after the sharp decline experienced in the first quarter of the 
year. Pentoshi has pinpointed $2,100 as the key downside risk in his bullish 
outlook, aligning closely with the lower support zone marked on the chart. 
While the next bullish extension and major resistance level has been 
identified as $3,300, the analyst expects Ethereum to make a move toward this 
price level within the next three months. He suggests that the current setup 
offers a favorable risk-reward profile, estimating a potential upside of 
roughly 3.2x compared to the downside risk. Analyst Calls Ethereum A “Powder 
Keg” In other news, Eric Conner refers to Ethereum as a “powder keg,” 
highlighting a growing convergence of fundamental factors that are building up 
pressure and positioning the cryptocurrency for a potentially parabolic move 
in the market. Related Reading: The Ethereum Waiting Game: Breakout To $2,800 
Or Crash To $2,000? The analyst reports that Stablecoin activity on Ethereum 
has reached historic highs, with the total market capitalization of on-chain 
dollar-denominated assets hitting $251 billion—a record that also marks 21 
consecutive months of uninterrupted growth. In parallel, Ethereum Spot ETFs 
have brought in $1.17 billion in net inflows during June alone, marking a 
major shift in investors&#8217; appetite for ETH exposure. Even more notable, the 
amount of Ethereum available for trading is now at its lowest level in nearly 
a decade, with only nine million ETH tokens on centralized crypto exchanges. 
This nine-year low in exchange balances signals a drying float, where any 
fresh demand has an outsized impact on price. Conner has stated that large- 
scale crypto investors are beginning to take note. He reports that wallets 
holding between 1,000 and 10,000 ETH have accumulated more than 800,000 tokens 
daily during the peak week in June, marking the most aggressive absorption by 
whales since 2017. Currently, price action mirrors tension, and the analyst 
warns that if Ethereum decisively clears the $2,600 resistance level, the 
combination of supply scarcity, ETF-driven demand, and explosive stablecoin 
usage could unleash a violent and rapid breakout. Featured image from iStock,
