Bitcoin expert Pierre Rochard questions the tokenization thesis behind XRP and Ethereum.

🔑 Key takeaways:

  • Tokenizing securities on ETH/XRP may not drive meaningful demand for the tokens themselves.

  • Incumbents like the DTCC already clear and settle efficiently—burning fees to “pump tokens” isn’t practical.

  • Crypto wallets mostly attract users outside traditional finance, potentially pushing fees onto the least wealthy.

  • Rochard calls XRP a “retail token” lacking institutional credibility; utility alone won’t sustain long-term price growth.

Meanwhile, XRP slipped 5.7% in 24h, hitting $2.96, underperforming most top 10 cryptos.

Is tokenization overhyped, or is this the future of finance?

Michael Saylor’s Strategy keeps stacking $BTC!

Crypto analyst Rekt Fencer spots a “too perfect” cup-and-handle pattern on XRP’s daily chart.

  • Rounded bottom

  • Consolidation phase

  • Potential target: $6 in the coming weeks

Could this be the start of a vertical move for XRP?

ADA is showing signs of a triangle breakout on the 3-day chart, with a potential target of $1.10. Key highlights:

  • Strong support at $0.92

  • Resistance at $0.98 needs to be overcome

  • Increased volume & liquidity favor buyers

If ADA holds above $0.98, the path to $1.10 becomes much more plausible. Technicals suggest a short-term shift in momentum—could this be the next breakout for Cardano?
