💸 XRP in a critical zone

#XRP is struggling to reclaim and hold above its Realized Price.

The Realized Price is a crucial on-chain level, representing the aggregated average price paid for the circulating supply.

When an asset remains below this level, it indicates that, on average, holders are experiencing unrealized losses.

Historically, cryptocurrencies that fail to recover and sustain prices above the Realized Price tend to exhibit structural weakness within the cycle.

This level is key in distinguishing between expansion and contraction.

📉 #ETH is now 60% away from its ATH.

Users would specify on-chain intent, review simulated outcomes, and then confirm or cancel, using tools like spending limits and multisig to align intent and risk. The aim is to simplify low-risk actions while making high-risk ones more challenging. Given the complexity of intent, systems should require overlapping intent signals and execute only when consistent, focusing on both security and user experience. link

🇺🇸🕵️ The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff recently released a FAQ clarifying that they do not object to broker-dealers applying a 2% haircut to stablecoin holdings for net capital purposes. This means that such holdings can count toward net capital requirements, allowing $100 million in stablecoins to be counted as $98 million. Previously, broker-dealers were uncertain whether USD-pegged stablecoins required a 100% haircut, which prevented their inclusion in net capital. #regulation link
