However, as these incentives faded, PYUSD’s market cap shrank rapidly, returning to pre-summer levels. Despite a notable rise in adoption when it launched on Solana in May, the actual demand for PYUSD has remained stagnant.

XRP Not Allowed Above $0.60, Dogecoin (DOGE) on Verge of Performing Vital Breakthrough, Bitcoin (BTC) Breaks 220-Day Downtrend 🐝 ~ ~ XRP has struggled to surpass the critical resistance level of $0.55 due to the 200-day EMA, facing bearish momentum in the short term. A crucial support level exists at $0.50, where buyer intervention might occur. In contrast, Bitcoin has recently broken above $67,000, signaling a possible shift in market sentiment, with resistance at $70,000 and support near $62,970.

EU watchdog urges stricter cybersecurity rules for crypto platforms amid rising attacks 🐝 ~ ~ The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has urged EU lawmakers to enhance crypto regulations by requiring external cybersecurity audits for firms in the sector, amid rising cyberattacks that jeopardize consumer protections.

ESMA advocates for mandatory third-party audits to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities, highlighting that over $1.5 billion was stolen from crypto platforms in early 2024.

Ripple (XRP) Price Downward Pressure May Precede a 22% Rally 🐝 ~ ~ Ripple (XRP) shows stable pricing, lacking a clear trend. The RSI is neutral at 58.59, indicating balanced buying and selling. Though the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is positive at 0.08, suggesting some accumulation, buying pressure remains weak.
