Legendary trader Bollinger on XRP: "Will it become new leader?"

On March 14, renowned trader John Bollinger took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts on the XRP token for the first time in several years. In his post, Bollinger highlighted the token's resilience during challenging times by using a metaphor from Greek mythology.

Of all of the major crypto vehicles #Ripple resisted the recent singing of the Siren's song best. Will it become the new leader?

Of the main crypto vehicles, (BTC, ETH, BNB, and XRP) which do you think performed best during the recent market downturn?

Bollinger's post comes amid a recent downturn on the market; however, XRP has demonstrated strength. Notably, over the past seven days, XRP recorded 7.78% growth, while BTC, the flagship crypto, grew by 1.55% over the same period.

Two factors that can help fuel XRP's positive momentum are Franklin Templeton's recent XRP ETF filing and the Ripple v. SEC case being reportedly wrapped up.

BlackRock resumes Bitcoin BTCUSD buying with fresh $25 million check

A wave of optimism washed over the crypto market on Friday, March 14, as the price of Bitcoin (BTCUSD) nearly touched the $85,000 mark. As this rally unfolded, one of the biggest players in the crypto space, BlackRock, engaged in fresh purchases of Bitcoin through its IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust) ETF.

According to data from Arkham Intelligence, BlackRock just received $25 million worth of BTC from Coinbase Prime. This marks a fresh injection of relief following days, and in some cases, weeks, of IBIT and other Bitcoin ETFs engaging in significant outflows. Despite concerns swirling around a potential “tariff war” and the IBIT ETF reportedly engaging in more selling than buying on Friday, Bitcoin's resilience in testing $80,000 without breaking through presents a brighter outlook. Experts believe that a shift in market sentiment can lead to rapid bullish action.

At the time of writing, BTC is being reported by CoinMarketCap at $83,195, showing a 0.38% increase over the past 24 hours.

Crypto lawyer John Deaton slams 'false' SEC statement on Cardano, XRP

Prominent crypto lawyer John E. Deaton has slammed a viral statement that claims the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has categorized major cryptocurrencies.

In his recent post on X, crypto lawyer John E. Deaton, known for his work on the Ripple case, has debunked a false claim circulating on the social web.

According to the claim, the SEC has recently released a clarification on the potential roles of different cryptocurrencies within the U.S. government, including such popular assets as Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), XRP, and others. However, Deaton addressed his followers and the entire crypto community.

According to experts, these types of assertions could be used by malicious actors to scam users.
