Ripple has secured full MiCA-compliant authorization from Luxembourg's financial regulator, allowing it to offer institutional crypto and payment services across all 30 EEA countries under a single license.
While many crypto firms still face country-by-country regulations, Ripple now has a clear path to scale across Europe.
NASA has just awarded $SPCX another $946 million contract to transport astronauts to the International Space Station, with missions planned through 2030.
With this new contract, SpaceX now has 17 total missions awarded by NASA for this type of transportation.
That brings the total value of NASA’s contracts with SpaceX to $5.92 billion.
In other words, SpaceX is further securing its position in space transportation for the years ahead. And when you look at how often NASA continues to award contracts to the company, the message is pretty clear.
On the market side, SpaceX’s stock surged after its IPO this year, getting close to $225, before falling back toward its IPO price and even below it.
It’s currently trading around $152.
It’s a stock I’m keeping a close eye on and gradually adding to my position.
Not financial advice, of course.
The company still has some fundamentals that make me a bit cautious, but personally, I consider the risk tolerable.
Because beyond the valuation, there’s Elon Musk, SpaceX, and more importantly, a steady flow of government contracts.
It’s a bit like the Palantir story with its government contracts: when the contracts keep coming in, it’s hard not to keep the company on your radar.
Price is up nearly 80% while open interest is rising fast, showing fresh leverage entering the move.
Momentum can continue, but crowded leverage also raises the risk of a sharp flush. I’d rather wait for a reset than chase here. Let’s see how this goes. #EvernorthRaises$30MToBuyXRP
Ripple now support AI agents' online services payments with $XRP and RLUSD using a payments standard co-created by Stripe and Tempo.
The updated XRP Ledger AI Starter Kit lets agents pay for data and computing without accessing private keys, with spending limits and approved destinations.
The software is in beta. Ongoing payment sessions support XRP, while stablecoin sessions require a proposed ledger upgrade. #MemeLaunchpads82%OfArcDayOneVolume
Tom Lee says $ETH is Q3’s best-performing macro asset so far, beating the S&P 500 by 5,866 basis points, while adviser Tom DeMark predicts a sharp move higher in the coming weeks. #FedHikeOddsRiseTo89%
A bipartisan coalition of 18 attorneys general has urged Congress to reject the CLARITY Act, warning it could let the SEC override state securities registration rules. #AnthropicCEOCallsForAISlowdown
Price has moved up aggressively, and after such a strong move I’m expecting some cooling-off before the next leg higher.
I’m looking for shorts from my planned entries:
Entry 1: 0.0335 Entry 2: 0.366 Invalidation: 0.416 This short is purely for the retracement, not a call that the bigger trend has turned bearish. Manage your risk and position size accordingly.
Three other chains are posting numbers that don't match their valuations either.
→ $ALGO : $117 on an $880M market cap → $S : $95 on a $79M market cap → $SEI : $40 on a $348M market cap
Seems like some Solana killers are killing themselves here.
Sui is still the standout here, and not in a good way. A negative print means the chain is effectively subsidizing its own usage right now.
That can work short term, but it's not something you can run forever without real demand showing up eventually.
The other three aren't in crisis, they're just quiet. Some of them are still early in building out their ecosystems, and fee generation naturally lags actual usage.
It's just not always the explanation the market gives credit for.
Revenue is one of the harder metrics to fake. TVL can be mercenary capital. Price can run on narrative alone and revenue tells you if anyone is actually paying to use the thing.
