XRP

Robinhood, a financial company based in California has recently declared that it will begin the trade of major cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum on its platform (surprisingly Ripple’s XRP not included), Robinhood Cryptocurrency.

Indeed, this comes as great news as it will allow 4 million potential investors to trade not only on cryptos but on stocks, bonds, ETFs and also other features that have been rolled out by the financial company.

It is important to know that these features are slowly being released to the platform users that reside in these American states: Massachusetts, California, Montana, Missouri, New Hampshire, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The company has stated its features will be released to other states as time goes by.

At the time of the launch, RobinHood stated on its Twitter page:

As per the tweet by Robinhood, the major cryptocurrencies and other digital assets can be traded without commission on them. The addition of Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum on RobinHood sums up the cryptocurrencies on its platform to sixteen as it has added other cryptos such as monero, Zcash, Dash, Qtum, Stellar, Bitcoin Gold, Lisk, Omisego, Dogecoin, and NEO.

Furthermore, RobinHood has also stated that it is rolling out some kind of news feed for its users. The Feed will help to update its users on current cryptocurrency news and so on. However, the news feed would only be accessible to some users only on its platform.

The trading of cryptos by American citizens have boosted the platform. After the platform announced it would be adding more cryptos with a commission-free feature, the number its users in America increased.

Robinhood has stated this,

“Over the past few weeks, we’ve been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm towards RobinHood Crypto and are excited to contribute to the cryptocurrency community in a meaningful way. Together, we reached four million users and well over $100 billion in transaction volume on our brokerage platform, leading to over $1 billion in commissions saved in equity trades. With the release of RobinHood Crypto, we’re continuing our mission of making the financial system work for everyone, not just the wealthy.”

This is a major stride for RobinHood, but there is no doubt that it will face a stiff rivalry from Coinbase – a popular crypto-exchange. Coinbase on the other hand has increased its investments as news of the procurement of $500 million from TigerGlobal surfaced recently.

RobinHood has been doing very well ever since its launch. But at one time, it was accused of selling users’ information. Meanwhile, RobinHood later responded to the allegations that it is a reputable company, and it would never reveal users’ information for personal gains.

The third largest cryptocurrency, Ripple (XRP) hasn’t been added to the list yet, but the company has stated that more cryptos will be added very soon. On that note, a crypto fan, Rad Gnarlinmouse, stated:

“The app is nothing without #XRP.”

BNB Price Surges Past $300, Faces Crucial $339 Hurdle: What’s Next?

By

BNB price has noted significant gains over the past few days, surging past the psychological resistance of $300. The native cryptocurrency of the Binance Exchange has surpassed Solana to regain its position as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The digital currency has been rallying lately with a 7-day profit of more than 15%. Additionally, BNB has clocked a phenomenal gain of 38% in the month to date.

Binance Coin Outlook

BNB price has been on a strong bull run for the past week, breaking out of its consolidation. Even so, the asset has experienced a correction in its uptrend over the past 24 hours but remains above the crucial level of $300. BNB’s total market cap has decreased by 4% over the past day to $48 billion, while the total volume of the asset traded over the same period dipped by about 15%.

Over the past year, Binance Coin has had to cope with Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)  on the back of the regulatory troubles of its underlying exchange. Earlier, the BNB price touched a low of $223.50, a few days after its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, pleaded guilty to money laundering charges. However, the cryptocurrency has managed to rebound 46% in value since then.

The recent price rally has been associated with various positive developments in the Binance ecosystem, including the Introduction of the Isolated Margin Auto-Transfer Mode. This feature enables…

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

By

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.
