Crypto investors should learn from Xiaoqiang and find ways to survive

Crypto investors should learn from Xiaoqiang and find ways to survive

By BowTied Bull Compiled by: Vernacular Blockchain Throughout history, these dramatic booms and busts are nothing new. The only difference is that now, with the internet, these events are detected and amplified in seconds. Some people have assets exceeding $30 million and ended up with nothing. You know who else went bust? Isaac Newton—in the famous South Sea Bubble. A Game of Attrition – Avoiding Zero We can apply this to everything. People give up by the time they turn 25, indulging in cheap alcohol and shots from the bar. They work hard at their startup for three months at most before settling for annual salary increases that barely keep up with inflation. This even applies to dating. Most men either let things slide or refuse to venture abroad to find their ideal type (usually an attractive foreigner). In short, life isn't a sprint. While you'll experience huge step-up leaps, the foundation is laid during those seemingly steady months or even years. It's a long, brutal race of attrition (think of those boring games on the TV show "Survivor" where the only thing you have to do is stand still on a pole). It's a test of who can stand firm while others burn out, quit, or self-destruct. What's the difference between this game and those TV shows? You never have to go back to zero. You might have a bad year, month, or quarter. But that's okay. As long as you never go back to zero, there's no financial reset. There's an unwritten rule in every game worth playing (business, investing, fitness, relationships, etc.): The winner isn't the fastest or strongest runner in a given year, but the one who survives a decade of ever-changing circumstances. Recent crashes There are so many stories like this. How many of you have forgotten the following: 1) Sam Bankman-Fried—a thirty-year-old billionaire who ran one of the most profitable trading platforms at the time. His greed led him to embezzle client funds, ultimately leading to bankruptcy and imprisonment. 2) Do Kwon—who once ridiculously declared, "Hold on, guys, we're putting in more money," but actually doubled down on his Ponzi scheme and ultimately went bankrupt. 3) Long-Term Capital Management—a fund literally founded by a Nobel Prize winner. An overly leveraged bet at the wrong time? Goodbye. Even Isaac Newton lost his mind during the South Sea Bubble. After selling early for a profit, he reentered the market (at its peak) out of jealousy. He lamented, "I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies... but not the madness of human nature." It's a lesson that's been repeated for centuries. The plot is the same, the technology changes, but the outcome is exactly the same: greed, leverage, and an inability to stay in the game. The smartest people in the world have gotten so caught up in their own complex models that they forget that markets are driven by emotional humans, not numbers. The core strategy is a war of attrition: a game that rewards those who can overcome their own psychological weaknesses. For decades, Buffett has been mocked as "boring." He underperforms during manias, consistently buying things no one wants. Yet, he remains viable. His empire compounds relentlessly because he has only one rule: don't lose money. While we'd never ask him for technical advice, his strategy is conceptually sound. All you have to do is stay in the game and refuse to sell at a loss (which requires thorough research, a "diamond hand" of determination, and zero leverage—the interest alone can cause you to lose money). Jeff Bezos did the same thing. He raised $1 million by selling less than 20% of his company. He could have sold more, but he wanted to maintain control—stay in the game. It proved to be the smartest decision he ever made. Through the dot-com bust and years of heated board meetings, he remained firmly in control. By trading greed for endurance, he ultimately created an empire (Amazon) valued at over a trillion dollars. Elon Musk has been through this, too. He's not the best example, as he could have gone bankrupt. However, he remains a prime example of survival. After PayPal, he invested nearly all his wealth in Tesla and SpaceX, at one point teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. He borrowed money from friends to pay rent, but never gave up. He fought to survive, not to appear successful. Apple is another (surprising) example. In the 1990s, it faced bankruptcy. Most companies would have collapsed, but Apple didn't. They cut costs, rebuilt their business, and waited patiently. A few years later, the iPod came along, followed by the iPhone, and the compounding phase began. This is another trillion-dollar lesson in resilience. In short, think carefully about all of these examples before you decide to use leverage. Could you survive a real recession? A -50% to -60% drop? Losing your job? Adding an emergency expense? It's much easier to model your predictions through rose-colored glasses. Never make an investment you will regret Any investment you've thoroughly researched and believe in should be held forever. For example, for 20-30 years. This doesn't mean you should hold all of it, but you should always keep a portion. If you bought Bitcoin at $100 and sold it all at $200, you'll never be able to live with yourself again. We know plenty of people who did that. Someone bought Ethereum at $80, sold it all at $200, and watched it rise to over $4,000, while their S&P 500 performance lagged by over 1,000% during that time. In short, with any well-researched investment, you can sell some, but be sure to keep some in case you sell too soon. There is no point in actively choosing to reset to zero Most people aren't even defeated by leverage; they defeat themselves. They sell after their stock or token has increased tenfold, proud of having "locked in profits." They sell their startup for a few million dollars for peace of mind, only to watch it later go public and be valued at millions or even billions (Victoria's Secret is a famous example). They abandon a career, relationship, or idea before the exponential curve bends upward. The inflection point is where all the gains are! (Reminder: progress is nonlinear, and this applies to stocks, tokens, and any small business). To avoid this, you need to structure your life to absorb losses while retaining some high-risk positions that have already risen. Keep your overhead low and maintain enough liquidity to make large bets without feeling desperate. Protect your skills and equity. These two assets will continue to compound until the inflection point in the curve appears. Be willing to endure the boredom that comes before a breakthrough, and be willing to look wrong for years. The people who succeed are not those who have the best strategy... they are those who stick with it long enough until it starts working. Every major success story is a case study in pain tolerance and faith. Compound interest works only for the few who can stay solvent long enough to experience it. It's the ticket to the top 1%. Most people can't stand being underestimated or having delayed gratification. They need approval and attention, so they cash in to feed their egos. Their need for comfort leads them to forgo future possibilities. They mistake busyness for progress, and the approval of others for security. They voluntarily exit the game before it becomes advantageous for them. Ironically, their focus on survival and adaptability itself creates guaranteed success. If you stay in the arena long enough, the odds will eventually tilt in your favor. The longer you can endure pain, boredom, and obscurity, the more exposure you have to favorable "tail events." Life can't stop someone who refuses to leave. If you're in that "grinding" phase where you seem to be going nowhere, remember that it's all psychological. If you're making the right choices, momentum is quietly building. You shouldn't expect immediate rewards; you should focus on survival. Every month you stay above the bankrupt, every year you hold your ground, your probability of a breakthrough increases. This is the mathematics of attrition. People hate cockroaches, but they teach us a valuable lesson: Find ways to survive The more you want results today, the less you'll get. That's how Lady Luck works. The skill you really want is persistence. Stay at the table long enough, and Lady Luck will eventually think, "Well, this guy really doesn't seem to care, so I'll give him the pot of gold." Don't let yourself get crushed. Don't prematurely cash out of investments with the potential for asymmetric returns. Don't sell your future for comfort. Keep your expenses low, your ego smaller, and your runway longer. Because life doesn't reward the smartest player—it rewards the one who makes it to the final table. Think of it like playing poker. Your goal is to make the final table, not to dominate the field on day one. Live long enough and statistics will take care of the rest. A final note on survival—even if you screw up If you need some real-world examples of comebacks, here are a few names you’ll recognize today: Disney: In 1923, after his Laugh-O-Gram Films went bankrupt due to unpaid distributors, he moved to Hollywood, created Mickey Mouse and Snow White, and built an empire. Ford: He went bankrupt twice before founding Ford Motor Company. His first company, the Detroit Motor Company, collapsed due to overly expensive and inefficient products. He later created mass production and transformed manufacturing. Jobs: Fired from Apple in 1985, he then devoted himself to NeXT and Pixar, nearly leading to financial ruin. Apple eventually acquired NeXT in 1997, allowing Jobs to return...with the iMac, iPod, and iPhone. George Foreman: The famous boxer went bankrupt in the late 1970s but returned to the ring at age 38. Once he had earned enough money, he created the Foreman Grill, which earned him hundreds of millions of dollars. Milton Hershey: He had two failed candy businesses before founding Hershey's Chocolate. Even the most well-known brands have founders who failed multiple times, but they just kept trying. There are thousands of other stories we know about, and millions more we don't. The principle is the same: learn from others' mistakes. Don't go to zero, don't sell 100% of an investment you believe in, and don't use leverage. In the rare case that you do screw up… well, others have come out of worse situations. It’s just that given the outsized returns expected from tech, cryptocurrencies, and niche internet businesses in 2025, there’s no point putting yourself in that situation. However, this is just a cartoon character's point of view.

Missed Bitcoin? 5 Best Crypto Presales to Watch Now, AlphaPepe Leads the Next ROI Wave

Missed Bitcoin? 5 Best Crypto Presales to Watch Now, AlphaPepe Leads the Next ROI Wave

The post Missed Bitcoin? 5 Best Crypto Presales to Watch Now, AlphaPepe Leads the Next ROI Wave appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. If you missed Bitcoin’s early surge or Ethereum’s breakout years, you’re not alone — and you might just get another shot. 2025’s crypto presale market is brimming with new projects that blend innovation, culture, and clever tokenomics to create serious upside potential. Among them, AlphaPepe (ALPE) stands out as the most talked-about and promising of the bunch — a meme coin with real mechanics and growing credibility. But it’s not alone. Competitors like BullZilla, BlockchainFX, Milk & Mocha, and Layer Brett are also carving niches across different sectors of crypto. Here’s a look at the five best crypto presales to watch right now, led by AlphaPepe — a project many believe could deliver the next wave of ROI similar to early-stage legends. 1. AlphaPepe (ALPE): Meme Coin Energy With Real-World Structure AlphaPepe is taking the meme-coin formula that made Dogecoin and Shiba Inu famous and rebuilding it for today’s market. It’s built on the BNB Chain, with an emphasis on transparency, sustainability, and real rewards. The project’s smart contract passed a 10/10 audit, and its liquidity is locked permanently — two critical features that minimize the risk of rug pulls. What’s more, AlphaPepe’s community rewards program has already paid out more than $8,000 in USDT through its second pool, with the third pool now preparing to launch. These live payouts aren’t marketing — they’re proof of a functioning system. The community is growing rapidly, surpassing 2,500 holders as social momentum takes over X (Twitter) and Telegram. AlphaPepe’s roadmap includes staking, NFT utilities, and upcoming CEX and DEX listings after the presale concludes. Why it leads: AlphaPepe combines meme culture with project discipline. It’s fun, it’s viral, and it’s one of the few presales where investors are seeing results before launch. In a market hungry for authenticity, AlphaPepe has become the…

Crypto Three Kingdoms Extra: When Wall Street's compliance fleet enters the DeFi Yangtze River

Crypto Three Kingdoms Extra: When Wall Street's compliance fleet enters the DeFi Yangtze River

I’ve always wanted to add an interesting spin-off to this Crypto “Three Kingdoms” article: 1) The Crypto Native Narrative School corresponds to the isolated "Shu Kingdom", which is located in the dangerous Bashu area. Vitalik Buterin is the "Zhuge Liang, drawing the Rollup Centric" and "ZK Endgame" as the roadmap of the grand blueprint. Advocating the concepts of governing the country with virtue, such as "Code is Law" and "decentralization", is very similar to Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness. It seems to be on the moral high ground, but it is restricted everywhere in the cruel market competition. What about joining forces with Wu to fight against Cao, and conquering the Central Plains in the north? New technology narratives have been introduced time and time again, from DeFi to NFT to layer2 and AI Agent. Just like Ge Liang's six expeditions to Qishan, each one was a grand event, but the application of Mass Adoption was always one step away. Until Zhuge Liang died after devoting himself to his work, developers fled the AI community, leaving behind a dwindling pool of talent and a lack of successors. While I hate to say that idealism was the first to fall, the good news is that the belief in "Han and traitors cannot coexist" and the spirit of decentralization will continue to be the industry's guiding principles. 2) The CEX Exchange Alliance corresponds to the "Wei State" that occupies the Central Plains, with CZ as "Cao Cao", who holds "user liquidity" and "currency listing rights" to hold the emperor hostage and control the princes. They vigorously pursued a "military farming" strategy, establishing a new ICO pipeline consisting of Wallet, Alpha, and contracts, encircling all parties within their own internal market. Fortunately, they prioritized talent, recruiting both technical and MEME-focused investors as long as they could generate trading volume. Consequently, China's national strength reached its peak, crushing all competitors. However, the biggest risk of this approach is fostering too many "parasites"—market makers, project owners, and KOLs—all sucking away revenue. Once problems arise, the entire system collapses instantly. This ultimately created a bustling and prosperous era, but after a wave of vigorous "regulatory arbitrage," it ultimately became a mirage. Ultimately, they will either be "recruited" by regulators, "shorn of power" by internal interest groups, or "usurped" by new forces. This constant spree of "quick money projects" and overdrawing the industry's long-term credit is bound to backfire. It's unclear whether the CEX empire will ultimately be named "Zhao" or "Trump." 3) Wall Street financial capital represents the "Eastern Wu" that controls Jiangdong, with Wall Street institutions like Coinbase and BlackRock and US political figures representing "Sun Quan." They collaborate with the tech-savvy Shu Kingdom to promote decentralized innovation, while collaborating with the Wei Kingdom to develop compliant CEX channels. They partner with whoever is useful, employing a strategic strategy of "uniting with secondary enemies to attack the primary one," carefully strategizing and assessing the situation. Just like the Eastern Wu dynasty, which controlled the Yangtze River, Wall Street has seized the advantage of "dollar hegemony" and its "compliance moat." They control off-chain access with ETFs, on-chain settlement with USDT and USDC, and are infiltrating the DeFi ecosystem with RWA strategies like tokenizing US stocks and on-chain US Treasury bonds. The smartest strategy now is to bide one's time, letting the tech-savvy CEXs fight a decisive battle while they quietly plan and profit. There's no doubt that if the future trend of crypto is toward compliance, institutionalization, and licensing, then the crypto world will ultimately belong to Wall Street. Now you understand why they say the old Northern Wei dynasty might soon be ruled by the Eastern Wu "Trump." The difference is that Trump is not Sima Yi, and he doesn't need to lie low and be sneaky.

Pepe Coin Holders Shift Focus to AlphaPepe, The Best Crypto to Buy This Month

Pepe Coin Holders Shift Focus to AlphaPepe, The Best Crypto to Buy This Month

The post Pepe Coin Holders Shift Focus to AlphaPepe, The Best Crypto to Buy This Month appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News The meme coin markets are shifting again, and this time the crowd is moving fast. Pepe Coin (PEPE), once the dominant retail darling of the 2023–2024 meme wave, has hit a plateau. Prices have stabilized, social momentum has cooled, and many holders are searching for the next big opportunity. Their new obsession? AlphaPepe (ALPE) — a meme-fueled but structurally sound presale project on BNB Chain that’s taking over Telegram groups and crypto Twitter feeds. With verifiable tokenomics, real reward systems, and transparent security measures, AlphaPepe is quickly being hailed as the best crypto to buy this month by an increasingly vocal segment of Pepe Coin holders. Pepe Coin: A Legend in Need of a Second Wind Pepe Coin remains a cultural cornerstone of meme-coin history. Its viral explosion in 2023 captured the attention of traders who had missed Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, and it quickly became synonymous with crypto humor and speculative energy. But by Q4 2025, PEPE’s price action has turned flat. Currently trading around $0.0000070, Pepe has hovered in this range for weeks, showing neither breakout energy nor fresh volatility. Trading volumes have tapered off by nearly 30% since September, and the coin’s social metrics — once explosive — have started to decline. On-chain data shows whale concentration increasing while small-holder participation has slowed, suggesting that the speculative crowd is moving on to newer plays. Analysts say Pepe still holds long-term cultural value but lacks a clear next catalyst. Unlike its early days, there’s no major listing, meme event, or roadmap update to fuel a rally. It’s reached meme maturity — a double-edged sword for any project built on virality. As Pepe consolidates, its holders — ever restless and risk-tolerant — are rotating into the next viral candidate. And for many, that candidate is AlphaPepe. AlphaPepe:…

Tether and bitcoin  Tether recently purchased nearly 8,889 bitcoin, adding over $1 billion worth of the asset at the time to its balance sheet and bringing its total holdings to more than 86,000 BTC.  The company continued its strategy of diversifying reserves into hard assets, including gold, agriculture, and stakes in firms like Adecoagro, while positioning bitcoin as a long-term hedge.  The acquisition coincided with Tether pursuing a $15–20 billion fundraising round, potentially valuing the company near $500 billion. Tether was reportedly in…

Backpack brengt gereguleerde aandelen naar crypto via Superstate-deal

Connect met Like-minded Crypto Enthusiasts! Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord   Crypto-beurs Backpack gaat een stap verder in het combineren van traditionele markten en blockchain. Het bedrijf kondigde woensdag een samenwerking aan met fintechbedrijf Superstate om SEC-geregistreerde aandelen rechtstreeks op de blockchain te verhandelen. Echte aandelen op de blockchain De integratie van Superstate’s Opening Bell-platform maakt Backpack de eerste gecentraliseerde beurs waar gebruikers echte, door de Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC geregistreerde aandelen kunnen kopen, verkopen en gebruiken als onderpand — naast crypto en stablecoins. Het gaat niet om tokens of afgeleide producten, maar om aandelen met dezelfde CUSIP-nummers als die van bedrijven op de Nasdaq of NYSE. Beleggers behouden dus de gebruikelijke stem- en dividendrechten, maar handelen via de infrastructuur van Backpack. Superstate-CEO Robert Leshner noemt het “de eerste keer dat aandelen van traditionele beurzen nagenoeg één op één naar crypto-platforms verhuizen.” Real stocks. On Solana. Backpack will be the first CEX to list SEC-registered equities on chain. Coming soon https://t.co/mgu32gwrne — Backpack (@Backpack) October 15, 2025 Brug tussen twee werelden Backpack-oprichter Armani Ferrante zegt dat het initiatief past bij zijn visie om van het platform “een volwaardige financiële dienstverlener voor crypto-native generaties” te maken. De uitrol begint met een beperkt aanbod voor niet-Amerikaanse gebruikers die voldoen aan lokale KYC- en AML-regels. Met deze samenwerking zet Backpack zijn groei door na de lancering van Backpack EU eerder dit jaar. Dat platform kreeg goedkeuring van de Cypriotische toezichthouder CySEC en biedt gereguleerde derivatenhandel aan binnen de EU. De nieuwe deal met Superstate plaatst Backpack opnieuw in een voortrekkersrol: waar veel exchanges nog zoeken naar bruggen tussen traditionele en digitale markten, brengt Backpack ze letterlijk samen in één orderboek.

HIP-3 brings equity perps to crypto

HIP-3 brings equity perps to crypto

The post HIP-3 brings equity perps to crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Just last week, we wrote about HIP-3’s final stages of testnet, and now it’s live on mainnet with UNIT already launching their HIP-3 DEX.  Their first product, XYZ100 — an index tracking the top 100 companies — has generated $24.1M, $21.6M, and $20.7M in volume over the first three days, respectively. This performance stands out when compared to spot volumes for tokenized equities, which typically range between $8M-$12M weekly. Source: Blockworks Research A powerful indicator was seeing Phantom list the XYZ100 perp via their frontend. As discussed previously, HIP-3 markets will not be originally listed on Hyperliquid’s frontend, meaning distribution is heavily dependent on builders listing markets.  Phantom (54K users) and BasedApp (28K users) have already listed XYZ100, though some builders like Axiom decided not to, showing the optionality at play here. While builders still account for a small amount of Hyperliquid’s total volume (3.5%), they have significant distribution with 37% of Hyperliquid’s users trading from these platforms. Source: Allium HyperLiquid Dashboard However, it remains unclear exactly how builders will approach HIP-3 market listings. According to Phantom’s documentation, “Any HIP-3 perpetual futures market can be accessed via Hyperliquid-compatible platforms, including Phantom.” This suggests that in a bull case scenario, Phantom could permissionlessly list all HIP-3 markets, though we expect some degree of curation.  The value proposition is clear: HIP-3 already provides deployers with institutional-grade orderbook technology, and with builder participation, potentially elite distribution as well. HIP-3 already abstracts the orderbook infrastructure layer, and builders will potentially abstract away the need for deployers to maintain frontends or build their own communities. The only thing that matters is listing markets users want to trade One such project that will depend heavily on builder distribution is Ventuals. Ventuals creates synthetic…

Best Altcoins to Buy as XRP ETF Nears Approval and Institutional Buys Peak

Best Altcoins to Buy as XRP ETF Nears Approval and Institutional Buys Peak

What to Know: $XRP has hit a recent low of $1.8 after the October 10 flash crash Institutional investment could be responsible for the recovery to $2.45 and beyond Several $XRP ETFs are scheduled for approval by the SEC this month The US shutdown has delayed these approvals, so they’ll be closer together $XRP has long been hyped as a crypto with the potential to transform the banking industry, and it might finally be taking off. The REX-Osprey XRP ETF has launched successfully, with the $XRPR fund trading over $37.7M on its first day on the market. Now, several other $XRP ETFs, which are awaiting approval decisions, have been scheduled for decision windows throughout October, including: Grayscale VanEck 21Shares WisdomTree However, due to the US government shutdown, it’s more likely that these rulings will all be issued closer together once the SEC resumes operations. It’s rumored that SBI Holdings is also increasing its investment in Ripple. It is currently one of the largest $XRP accounts in Japan, reportedly holding over $10B in $XRP, which significantly exceeds SBI Holdings’ market cap of $14.7B. Greater institutional investment, along with the release of several ETFs, could potentially spark a surge of excitement for $XRP, pushing the token price beyond the $2.4-$2.6 range and back above $3. In turn, this could lead to the transfer of capital into smaller crypto projects poised for growth. We’ve identified three projects that we believe will benefit from the rise in $XRP’s price, so keep reading as we explain why Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), Snorter Bot ($SNORT), and Ripple ($XRP) are our top picks for the best crypto to buy. 1. Snorter ($SNORT) – Find the Hottest Altcoins First with this Telegram-Powered Sniper Bot. Snorter Token ($SNORT) is the presale token for Snorter Bot, a sniping bot that finds the top-performing Solana meme coins and presents them to you through an easy-to-use mobile interface on Telegram. Trading meme coins might seem simple on the surface, but it’s a fast-moving market. By the time you’ve had a chance to evaluate a new coin manually, all of the liquidity might already be snatched up by whales and bots. Solana accelerates the process with a honeypot detection engine that automatically evaluates new coins for rug-pull indicators. During beta testing, the Snorter bot achieved an 85% success rate in detecting rug pulls, a rate that the Snorter developers hope to further improve in future releases. As soon as you find the coin you want to snipe, simply provide Snorter with your buy and sell orders along with your preferred price points. The bot handles everything else, executing your orders automatically. Naturally, the Snorter bot will work with Solana at launch. There are also additional modules in development for Ethereum, BNB, Polygon, and Base, which are planned for release after launch. The $SNORT token is what takes Snorter to the next level. It unlocks a bunch of features for the Snorter bot, including: An unlimited daily cap on trades Trading fees of just 0.85% Mirror trading against other wallets A private high-speed RPC node for quick trade execution However, if you want to acquire $SNORT at a low price before the token goes live, you’ll need to act quickly. It’s currently in presale at $0.1081, but there are only four days left before your chance to buy $SNORT at this price ends – check out price predictions for $SNORT for more. Join the Snorter Token presale for staking rewards of up to 107% per year. 2. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – A Solana-Based Layer-2 for Bitcoin that Adds Smart Contract Capabilities. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is taking Bitcoin to the next level with a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) using zK rollups. The project’s goal is to make Bitcoin a worthy competitor to Web3 cryptos like Ethereum and Solana by adding increased scalability and smart contract support. While $BTC is an ideal asset for institutions like ETFs to hold in the long term because it serves as a store of value, the way the Bitcoin network operates makes it difficult for retail customers to use it as an alternative to fiat. Waiting at least ten minutes for a Bitcoin block to be added to the blockchain is simply too slow for most customer transactions, so Bitcoin Hyper is implementing an SVM-based Layer 2 solution to speed up clearing times. This also benefits the introduction of dApps into the Bitcoin ecosystem. The Bitcoin Hyper network can support crypto swaps, NFT trades, and other DeFi services, all using $BTC as the main store of value. It’s $HYPER that keeps the Bitcoin Hyper network running. When you hold this official utility token, you get lower fees when trading crypto and executing smart contracts on the Layer-2. You also get access to the Bitcoin Hyper Decentralized Autonomous Organizations ( DAO), where you can vote on the future of the project. The presale for $HYPER has raised over $23.8M in token sales ahead of the network’s launch. Buying in today means you can purchase $HYPER for only $0.013125, but you’ll have to act fast. Check out our ‘How to Buy Bitcoin Hyper‘ guide if you need more information. Get your $HYPER tokens today and earn up to 49% in staking rewards. 3. Ripple ($XRP) – Allowing Institutions to Trade Currency Across Borders Faster Than SWIFT $XRP is the native token of Ripple, created to enable faster and cheaper global money transfers as an alternative to the SWIFT network. Thanks to a recent sidechain upgrade, the Ripple blockchain now also supports Ethereum-compatible smart contracts on-chain. Ripple enables real-time cross-border transfers through its On-Demand Liquidity service, which uses $XRP as a common source of liquidity between countries. By using $XRP as an intermediary currency, it eliminates the need for institutions to tie up capital in currency pairs. Adoption of Ripple is growing throughout the global financial services industry, with clients including Travelex Bank, SBI Holdings, and Santander. SWIFT has also held live trials using the Ripple network to facilitate payments. While $XRP hit highs of above $3.6 this year, the price of the token dropped briefly to $1.8 on October 10th after a brutal industry-wide flash crash that wiped out over $19 billion of leveraged crypto positions. However, $XRP has since recovered and is now trading sideways between $2.3 $2.6 per token. Even at its current price of $2.45, the price of $XRP is up almost 350% in the last year. $XRP can be purchased through any major CEX or DEX. All crypto products are volatile. Be sure to always do your own research before investing – and only invest what you’re prepared to lose. This article is not financial advice.
