Customers Could Be Crushed—Expert Flags Deep Risk for Linqto Investors

XRP is back in the spotlight after a sudden pop in price. At press time, the 
token traded at $2.80, up 1.5% in the past 24 hours. Earlier today, it even 
hit $2.90 before easing back. Traders haven’t seen XRP at these levels since 
the first week of March, and chatter is growing across trading desks and 
social channels. Related Reading: Analyst Sounds The Alarm: Shiba Inu Primed 
For Over 1,500% Breakout Market Data: Last Week’s Rally Tops 25% XRP’s weekly 
gains now stand around 23%, giving long‑time holders a welcome lift. Bitcoin’s 
break above $118,800—and its steady hold near $118,000—has opened space for 
altcoins to shine. Still, only 28 out of the top 100 non‑stablecoin tokens 
have outpaced Bitcoin over the past 90 days, keeping the Altcoin Season Index 
at just 28/100. That tells us this isn’t a full‑blown altcoin boom yet, but 
XRP has broken out anyway. Don’t be surprised if you wake up randomly this 
week and $XRP is $4+ — EDO FARINA 🅧 XRP (@edward_farina) July 12, 2025 XRP 
Finds Path To $4 Based on reports, crypto educator Edoardo Farina tweeted that 
seeing XRP north of $4 “as early as this week” wouldn’t be a shock. Pushing 
past $4 would mean a 50% jump from current levels and clear the old all‑time 
high of $3.85 set in January 2018. Such a move could come in a fast burst 
rather than a slow grind, driven by sudden FOMO among buyers chasing new 
peaks. Ripple Partnerships And ETF Push Ripple has been busy on the 
partnership front. In early July, the company teamed up with BNY Mellon to 
custody its RLUSD stablecoin, the 8th‑largest stablecoin by market cap, aiming 
to draw in big institutions. Meanwhile, futures‑based XRP ETFs from ProShares 
and others launched in July, and more than 10 spot‑XRP ETF applications are 
now under SEC review. Any green light on a spot ETF could send demand—and 
price—higher. XRP Price Prediction According to the latest price prediction, 
XRP is expected to slip by 0.62% and reach $2.75 by August 12, 2025. Technical 
indicators still lean bullish, and the Fear &amp; Greed Index sits at 74 (Greed). 
Over the last 30 days, XRP posted 18/30 green days with 6.88% price swings, 
data from CoinCodex shows. Related Reading: Tether Changes Strategy In 2025—5 
Blockchains To Be Phased Out Regulatory Risks And Next Steps Even with 
positive signs, XRP faces hurdles. The SEC hasn’t approved any altcoin ETFs 
yet, and updates in Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit could trigger fresh volatility. 
Traders should watch headline risks closely. For now, gains have been 
impressive, and the coin’s four‑month high hints at more action ahead.

Tether’s latest move aims to streamline its stablecoin operations. The company 
plans to end USDT redemptions and token issuance on five older blockchains by 
September 1, 2025. Any tokens left on Omni Layer, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, 
EOS and Algorand will become frozen after that date. Related Reading: Analyst

From Legacy Chains Based on reports from Tether, these five networks once 
helped drive its early growth. But current data shows a big drop in USDT 
activity there. Usage has been mostly flat for months. And with few new 
transactions, keeping those chains alive no longer makes sense. Tether to Wind 
Down USD₮ Support for Five Legacy Blockchains as Part of Strategic 
Infrastructure Review Learn more: https://t.co/MxVGdUnEhA — Tether 
(@Tether_to) July 11, 2025 The decision follows a careful infrastructure 
audit. Teams looked at chains with low usage and slow growth. They found that 
less than 0.1% of Tether’s total supply moves on those networks. Every dollar 
spent maintaining them now offers little benefit. Embracing Fast, Scalable 
Networks According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, Tether will put more energy into 
chains that can grow quickly. He pointed to real‑time scaling solutions and 
rising adoption as key factors. The company plans to boost support for Layer 2 
systems such as the Lightning Network. It also wants to explore partnerships 
with newer blockchains that offer low fees and better interoperability. 
Experts agree with Tether’s approach. Kevin Mehrabi of StableTech said 
networks with weak developer traction tend to stall. And once growth stops, 
token circulation follows. By focusing on blockchains with active builders, 
Tether hopes USDT will see more real use in DeFi, micro‑payments and 
cross‑border transfers. Related Reading: Don’t Hold Back—Expert Recommends 
Full Stake In XRP What Token Holders Should Do Now Holders of USDT on the 
affected chains must act before the September 1, 2025 cutoff. Official Tether 
services will let existing clients reissue their tokens on supported networks. 
Other users can rely on third‑party bridges or custodians, depending on each 
provider’s policy. If nobody moves their coins in time, those balances will be 
frozen—completely inaccessible. By reallocating technical and operational 
resources, Tether aims to improve transaction speeds and cut costs. The 
company’s long‑term plan is to back ecosystems that show real growth and 
practical use cases. For users, the key takeaway is clear: move your USDT off 
those legacy rails now, or risk losing access later. Featured image from

Tether Changes Strategy In 2025—5 Blockchains To Be Phased Out

Solana (SOL) has registered a 0.58% loss in the past day, representing a 
slight price retracement from its strong weekly performance. Notably, the 
altcoin gained by nearly 10% in the last seven days as general crypto prices 
surged, pushing its unit price into the $160 price region. Amidst the present 
market cool-off, Ali Martinez has tipped Solana to embark on a parabolic rally 
subject to a particular market condition. Related Reading: Why The Solana 
Price Could Crash To $95 Before Reaching $200 Solana Bulls Eye Breakout As 
$170 Emerges As Critical Resistance In an X post on July 12, Martinez outlines 
a bullish technical analysis on the Solana market, stating the altcoin is at a 
key price juncture. Using the weekly chart, the analyst has been able to 
identify a mega cup-and-handle pattern, which usually precedes a major price 
rally. However, the altcoin faces a critical price resistance at the $170 
region. For context, the cup-and-handle pattern is a popular bullish chart 
formation that indicates potential for significant price upswings. As seen in 
the chart below, it resembles the shape of a teacup, commencing with a bearish 
market, followed by a price recovery of equal magnitude as seen between the 
start of 2022 and the start of 2025. During this period, investors saw Solana 
prices crash from around $250 to a cycle low of $9.88 before experiencing a 
gradual return to a similar peak, thereby forming the cup pattern. Thereafter, 
SOL has experienced significant price corrections and rebounds, eventually 
creating a descending price pattern that represents the handle of this 
formation. Notably, the cup-and-handle pattern only translates into a price 
surge following a decisive price breakout above the formation&#8217;s neckline. 
Following recent gains, Solana finds itself within touching distance of this 
neckline at the $170 price mark. Martinez explains that a successful weekly 
close above this major resistance will validate the bullish intentions on 
Solana, inducing a heavy market demand and paving the path for higher price 
territories. Based on the Fibonacci retracement and extension levels on the 
chart, the initial price target in the event of this breakout is set at $295, 
instantly matching the current all-time high. However, the historical 
magnitude of breakouts from cup-and-handle pattern points to lofty price 
targets, such as $ $787, $1,314, and a max target of $2,744. However, a 
rejection at $170 may force Solana to visit lower support levels near $135 or 
even $100, which has served as a major demand zone in the past. Related

Market Top Solana Price Overview At the time of writing, Solana is trading at 
$162.58 with a decline of around 0.58% as earlier stated. Meanwhile, the 
asset&#8217;s daily trading volume is down by 38.77% and valued at $3.72 billion.
