Morning Crypto Report: XRP Loses 89% in Fee Revenue, Satoshi Nakamoto Appears at New York Stock Exchange, Bitcoin Rockets 3,065% in Liquidation Imbalance

Markets are still digesting the rate cut, and instead of a clean trend, we get a session where each story instantly feeds into positioning. Nothing breaks, nothing rallies, but traders treat every datapoint as a signal because liquidity is thin and direction is unclear.

TL;DR 

  • XRP fee revenue falls 89% to the weakest level in five years.
  • NYSE unveils a Satoshi Nakamoto statue during XXI’s trading debut.
  • Bitcoin posts a 4,100% liquidation imbalance, with long traders taking the hit.

XRP eyes brutal 89% drop in fees

According to Glassnode’s data, XRPL fee activity has experienced its biggest drop since 2020. The 90-day average has dropped from around 5,900 XRP per day in February to only 650 XRP as of today. This nearly straight-line unwind leaves the network at its quietest point since December 2020.

The timeline matches the chart in some way. XRP attempted to maintain the $3 threshold in August and September but failed to generate demand in October. It has since fallen into the $2.00-$2.05 range, exhibiting price action that appears sluggish rather than pressured. TradingView’s two-day candles show no real bid aggression — only mild attempts to stabilize.

The question for the market is simple: Is this a temporary drop in interaction, or a sign that XRPL activity has peaked? With a decline this deep, sentiment will not recover until fees stop falling.

Bitcoin creator Satoshi stuns major U.S. exchange

The NYSE installed a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto — something the market did not expect to see in the most traditional trading venue in the United States. The piece was created by Italian artist Valentina Picozzi, and Twenty One Capital arranged the installation as part of its first week on the exchange.

The timing is notable because XXI’s debut was rocky. Shares opened at $10.74, slid to $11.42 by the end of the session, and finished the day almost 20% below the SPAC’s previous close of $14.27. That is not the start the company wanted.

XXI controls around 42,000 BTC worth around $3.9 billion. This places it among the top three public Bitcoin holders. However, the firm did not present a roadmap, and CEO Jack Mallers is pushing the idea that XXI is not trying to copy Strategy. 

Mallers said the company wants to build brokerage, trading, lending and other services around its Bitcoin stack, but he did not provide any product details.

At the same time, another corporate player, Strive Asset Management, announced a $500 million equity raise to accumulate more Bitcoin. Strive already manages 7,525 BTC, worth about $699 million, and ranks 14th among corporate holders.

Glassnode estimates that, since 2023, corporate and private Bitcoin reserves have risen 448%, from 197,000 BTC to 1.08 million BTC. Today’s headlines reflect this growth, even as XXI’s first trading session was less successful than expected.

Bitcoin prints 3,065% liquidation imbalance

The derivatives map by CoinGlass showed one of those outsized liquidation spreads of late, where the imbalance tells the whole story. In the 12-hour time frame, Bitcoin displayed $81.99 million in liquidations, with $79.40 million originating from long positions and only $2.59 million from short positions. This 3,065% ratio is a clear sign that long traders stepped in too early after the Fed announcement.

Bitcoin slipped from the $92,000 area into the low $90,000s, briefly encountering the same resistance that limited upside earlier in the week. Although nothing on the chart signals a breakdown, the leverage wipeout indicates that long positioning became overcrowded.

While it does not set the long-term trend, it forces every intraday trader to rethink risk and avoid assuming a rebound simply because the Fed cut rates.

Crypto market outlook

The market enters Thursday with caution and fear. Bitcoin trades around $89,500-$90,500 with no real conviction. XRP holds near $2 with a fee backdrop that does not inspire buyers either.

Bitcoin (BTC): Trading at $92,000 as the first upside trigger, $94,500-$95,000 as the extension zone, $88,000 as the immediate support level and $80,600 as the deeper level.

XRP: Got $2.12-$2.18 as the first resistance band, $2.28-$2.34 as the extension pocket, $1.98-$2.00 as the initial support, $1.92 as the break level and $1.82-$1.85 as the deeper support area.

House Judiciary Rejects Vote To Subpoena Banks CEOs For Epstein Case

House Judiciary Rejects Vote To Subpoena Banks CEOs For Epstein Case

The post House Judiciary Rejects Vote To Subpoena Banks CEOs For Epstein Case appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline House Judiciary Committee Republicans blocked a Democrat effort Wednesday to subpoena a group of major banks as part of a renewed investigation into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s financial ties. Congressman Jim Jordan, R-OH, is the chairman of the committee. (Photo by Nathan Posner/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu via Getty Images Key Facts A near party-line vote squashed the effort to vote on a subpoena, with Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who is leading a separate effort to force the Justice Department to release more Epstein case materials, voting alongside Democrats. The vote, if successful, would have resulted in the issuing of subpoenas to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing and Bank of New York Mellon CEO Robin Vince. The subpoenas would have specifically looked into multiple reports that claimed the four banks flagged $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions linked to Epstein. The failed effort from Democrats followed an FBI oversight hearing in which agency director Kash Patel misleadingly claimed the FBI cannot release many of the files it has on Epstein.

We have no issue with that.” Chief Critic “Republicans had the chance to subpoena the CEOs of JPMorgan, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of New York Mellon to expose Epstein’s money trail,” the House Judiciary Democrats said in a tweet. “Instead, they tried to bury…
