🏛 India’s Ruling Party Spokesperson Suggests Bitcoin Reserve as US FOMO Sparks BTC Race

India's Ruling Party spokesperson Bhandari highlights the significance of adopting a Bitcoin Reserve for the country's financial growth.

BJP Spokesperson Urges to Establish a BTC Reserve

In a recent India Today article, Pradeep Bhandari, a journalist and Bharatiya Janata Party voice, expressed his personal opinions on the vast opportunities for India in exploring a Bitcoin Reserve. Reflecting on the global trend of adopting a crypto reserve, the politician underscored the significance of a renewed financial policy in India.

Bhandari’s article came just five days after the US State of Texas signed the Bitcoin Reserve bill into law. The US introduced the BTC Reserve bill in January after Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President. Soon, global powers began reconsidering their financial strategies, contemplating the inclusion of BTC in their reserves. As CoinGape reported earlier, countries like Pakistan are planning to introduce a BTC reserve.

In his article, the BJP rep asserted that India’s financial policy must evolve to keep pace with global developments, ensuring financial growth and prosperity. He noted,

India stands at a pivotal juncture. A measured Bitcoin strategy—perhaps a reserve pilot—could strengthen economic resilience and project modernity. As the US advances and nations like Bhutan adapt, India has a unique opportunity to lead.

📢 Optimism For Aptos And Dogecoin ETF Approval Grows As Bitwise Amends Filing

Bitwise has filed an amended S-1 for both its Aptos and Dogecoin ETF, which analyst Eric Balchunas claims is a positive for approval.

Bitwise Files Amended S-1 For Dogecoin ETF And Aptos ETF

A SEC filing shows that the asset manager has filed an amended S-1 for its Dogecoin ETF. Meanwhile, another SEC filing also reveals that Bitwise has made changes to the registration statement for its Aptos ETF.

This move comes just weeks after the firm amended the S-1 for its Solana ETF alongside the other prospective issuers. In an X post, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that the latest filings from Bitwise are a good sign as it indicates SEC engagement and tracks with other spot approvals.

Balchunas also noted that “one huge” update to the Dogecoin ETF filing is the in-kind creations and redemptions. He remarked that they were nonexistent in the initial filing in January, when the asset manager first filed the S-1 for a DOGE ETF. The analyst added that it is a near lock at this point that in-kind will be allowed in spot ETFs across the board.

It is worth mentioning that there is no 19b-4 filing for Bitwise’s Aptos ETF. On the other hand, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has already filed a 19b-4 for the DOGE, which has already kickstarted the approval process.

Bitwise is one of three asset managers that have filed to offer a Dogecoin ETF, alongside Grayscale and 21Shares. Balchunas and his colleague James Seyffart recently raised the odds of approval for a DOGE ETF this year to 90%. The final deadline for the SEC to approve these funds is October 17.

⚠️ XRP Slides 4% as Ripple Loses Key Court Battle, Is A Sell Off to $1.47 next?

XRP Drops 4% As Judge Rejects $50M SEC-Ripple Settlement Bid

As of June 26, 2025, the XRP price is down nearly 3.30% and currently trades at $2.133 after the Federal court rejected Ripple’s proposed $50M settlement bid. The Federal court ruled the motion “procedurally improper,” leaving the case on appeal. The decision preserves Ripple’s $125 million penalty for $1.3 billion in unregistered XRP sales, triggering an immediate drop in the token’s value as investors face prolonged uncertainty.

Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty provided clarification on this regard:

“Either way, XRP’s legal status as not a security remains unchanged. In the meantime, it’s business as usual.”

Pro-XRP lawyer John E Deaton added,

“Although I believed she would ultimately grant the indicative ruling, I can’t say I’m shocked.
