Best 3 crypto to buy now as the Altcoin Season Index jumps

After surging to a record high around $123,000 in the second week of July, the 
Bitcoin price action for the rest of the month has been largely choppy. 
However, the flagship cryptocurrency dropped to a level just above $115,000 on 
Friday, July 25. This abrupt decline came with the expected question in the 
market: Is the rally over? Here&#8217;s How $115,000 Could Be Critical To BTC’s 
Price In a recent post on the social media platform X, crypto pundit Burak 
Tamaç highlighted the relevance of the region below the $115,000 level for the 
price of BTC. This on-chain observation, which is based on the BTC Supply 
Distribution URPD, showed how the Bitcoin price could play out in the near 
future. Related Reading: Bitcoin Eyes Bounce off This Support Level In 
Reversal Campaign For $121,000 The Supply Distribution URPD metric tracks the 
amount of Bitcoin supply last moved or transferred at particular price levels. 
This metric is specifically useful in identifying potential support (demand) 
and resistance (supply) zones. Tamaç pointed out on X that there is a 
significant void in Bitcoin&#8217;s Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) distribution 
just around the $110,000 and $115,000 bracket. What this means is that there 
have been relatively fewer significant transactions around this price region 
in the recent past. However, this UTXO gap sits above a price region ($90,000 
to $110,000) thick with significant investor activity. Considering the level 
of activity within this zone, there is an increased likelihood of the premier 
cryptocurrency finding a support cushion just within the UTXO gap. In this 
context, the support is to be above the $110,000 price level. As mentioned 
earlier, after Bitcoin reached a new all-time-high price, the premier 
cryptocurrency entered a consolidatory phase, where it has moved mostly 
sideways in the second half of July. During this period of indecisive price 
action, it can be observed that the Bitcoin price has not gone below the 
$115,000 price. What this means is that the $110,000 and $115,000 zone is 
likely where a new UTXO support has been established. If Bitcoin prevails 
above this price level, we can expect to see continued bullish momentum. On 
the flip side, if the $110,000 — 115,000 support zone fails, the flagship 
cryptocurrency might experience a severe sell-off. Bitcoin Price At A Glance 
As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at about $118,050, reflecting an almost 
2% jump in the past 24 hours. Related Reading: Bitcoin Eyes Bounce off This

Ripple’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Brad Garlinghouse, has issued a 
serious warning to XRP investors amid a surge in scam activity targeting 
investors across social media platforms like YouTube. The alert follows 
increasing reports of fraudulent accounts impersonating Ripple and its 
executives, with the aim of tricking users into sending their XRP. Ripple 
Warns Investors Of Rising XRP Scams On July 23, Garlinghouse took to X social 
media to raise the alarm on a sharp rise in XRP scams, urging investors and 
community members to stay alert. According to the Ripple CEO, scammers are 
capitalizing on market momentum and community excitement to ramp up 
impersonation schemes, particularly targeting unsuspecting XRP holders.

Price Surges One of the most notable developments flagged by Garlinghouse is a 
recent surge in fraudulent activity on YouTube, where scammers have taken over 
existing channels, rebranded them to resemble recognized Ripple accounts, and 
begun promoting misleading content that impersonates the crypto company and 
its executives. In its official X account, the Ripple team stressed that these 
YouTube accounts are legitimate and do not belong to the crypto firm, despite 
appearing convincing. In many cases, the usernames have been altered to mimic 
the company’s official handles, often making it difficult for unsuspecting 
users to identify the deception. These scam videos frequently promise 
giveaways, rewards, or investment multipliers, usually asking users and 
investors to send XRP in exchange for a larger return. Garlinghouse has 
emphasized that neither he nor Ripple will ever request XRP from anyone under 
any circumstances. To combat the growing threat of skyrocketing crypto scams, 
Ripple is actively and aggressively reporting these fraudulent accounts and 
encouraging its community to do the same. The company has reiterated that its 
official channels remain the only trusted sources of communication and 
provides a direct reminder to always verify account handles and links before 
engaging. Notably, Garlinghouse concluded his post with an important reminder 
to stay vigilant against avoidable losses. He warned that “if it sounds too 
good to be true, it probably is.” Ripple Alert Highlights Broader Threat Amid 
Market Recovery Beyond the immediate focus on the YouTube impersonation scams, 
Garlinghouse’s report touches on a broader trend of escalating crypto fraud 
that tends to spike during periods of market recovery or growing optimism. 
This pattern, described by the Ripple CEO as “like clockwork,” suggests that 
malicious actors closely monitor community sentiment and time their campaigns 
to exploit emotional and financial excitement. Related Reading: XRP 
Transactions Barrels Over $1 Billion To Monthly Highs, Are Whales Driving The 
Next Leg? In a broader context, the rise in XRP scams has coincided with the 
recent surge in the altcoin’s price to above $3.6. Additionally, they come 
after bullish news like Ripple’s growing regulatory clarity and legal win 
against the US SEC. As the XRP price inches closer to ATH levels and gains 
more momentum, bad actors are leveraging this wave of optimism to cast a wider 
net, targeting investors through sophisticated scams and fraudulent schemes.
