Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin’s bull market has already started, arguing that a new wave of dollar and yuan liquidity tied to AI spending, wartime policy and infrastructure rearmament could push BTC back to $126,000.

His central claim is that governments and banks in the US and China are being pushed toward looser credit conditions by three overlapping forces: the AI arms race, military....

XRP transaction volume on the XRP Ledger surged 65% over the past twelve months — from 43 million to 71 million transactions — setting a new record that a digital asset treasury firm argues reflects something far more significant than speculative activity: measurable, institutional-grade utility arriving quietly on the ledger while most of the market is watching price charts.

XRP has spent the past few months in a frustrating position, with its price still trading around the same zone that many holders expected it to leave behind long ago.
