XRP Shakes up Crypto Rankings: Third-Largest Market Cap Reclaimed The digital asset XRP has reclaimed its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, displacing the stablecoin tether (USDT). XRP Surpasses USDT’s Market Cap in 2025’s Early Rally As of Friday, Jan. 3, 2025, XRP has climbed back to third place in valuation, trailing only bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH). At 11 a.m. Eastern Time, XRP was trading at $2.46, reflecting a 1.5% increase against the U.S. dollar. Its market capitalization reached $141.06 billion, surpassing USDT’s $137.08 billion. XRP Shakes up Crypto Rankings: Third-Largest Market Cap Reclaimed On Dec. 16, 2024, USDT’s market cap exceeded $140 billion, but it has since contracted by nearly $3 billion. Unlike stablecoins, XRP’s valuation is driven by its performance against the U.S. dollar, with a 13.1% rise over two weeks and a 390% gain over the last 90 days. It currently ranks sixth in global trading volume, with $6.08 billion in trades. Heading into the weekend, XRP’s primary trading pair is USDT, followed by the South Korean won (KRW), U.S. dollar (USD), usd coin (USDC), and first digital usd (FDUSD). Over the past day, XRP’s ascent led to $1.78 million in liquidations in derivatives markets. In a significant start to the year, Ripple moved 1 billion XRP from an escrow account into its wallets, drawing widespread attention to the asset. Since 2025 commenced, XRP has appreciated by over 17% relative to the U.S. dollar, cementing its formidable initiation into the new year. XRP’s vibrant revival illustrates the fluidity of market dynamics and investor confidence, spotlighting its capacity to flourish within the shifting paradigms of finance. As we progress through 2025, the cryptocurrency’s path could influence wider dialogues concerning market fluctuations, wealth generation, and the intricate dance between digital currencies and stablecoins.

Lightchain AI Launches DAO Voting Today – Preparing to Transform Decentralized AI The fusion of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology has brought us some of the most exciting innovations of this century. But what if these groundbreaking technologies were directed by YOU—the community? Lightchain AI is doing just that. Starting today, Lightchain AI is unleashing a game-changing era in decentralized AI, kicking off DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) voting that allows its users to actively shape the future of unbiased, community-driven AI development! Sound futuristic? That’s because it is. Whether you’re part of the Solana community, an AI innovator, a crypto investor, or a tech enthusiast, there’s something for everyone in Lightchain AI’s visionary platform. Imagine having a say in critical decisions that impact the development of artificial intelligence. With Lightchain AI, this vision becomes a reality! What’s more, with the presale now live, this isn’t just an opportunity to witness innovation—you can actively be a part of it. Read on to explore how Lightchain AI aims to revolutionize the way we think about AI development and why you should join this initiative today. What is Lightchain AI? Lightchain AI is the latest contender creating waves on Solana, harnessing blockchain’s decentralized infrastructure to transform artificial intelligence development. At its core, it’s about democratizing AI. Unlike traditional, centralized AI controlled by corporations with possible bias, Lightchain AI operates on a transparent, decentralized model, ensuring fair and ethical AI systems built FOR the community, BY the community. But what truly makes it unique is the introduction of DAO voting—a progression that places the power to direct AI development squarely into the hands of its users. With AI gaining influence over our daily lives—recommendation systems, healthcare, financial analysis, and beyond—the stakes are higher than ever to ensure its impartiality. Lightchain AI champions a future where decisions about AI aren’t made behind closed doors but are instead determined by a shared vision. How Does DAO Voting Work in Lightchain AI? At the heart of Lightchain AI lies its DAO structure, a governance model that allows token holders to vote on key initiatives. Whether it’s approving new AI projects, allocating research funding, or setting platform rules, every decision is decentralized and transparent. Here’s how Lightchain AI’s DAO voting works Community Proposals Community members can propose new ideas or development strategies. This ensures that innovation doesn’t come from a single source but from a collective hive mind of the users invested in the platform’s success. Voting Powered by Token Holders Users who stake Lightchain AI tokens gain the ability to vote in governance decisions. Unlike traditional top-down structures, this process puts decision-making power into the hands of the community. Transparent Implementation Approved proposals are implemented transparently, with progress tracked on the blockchain. No hidden agendas—just a clear roadmap driven by the majority. This kind of user-driven governance doesn’t just foster a deeper sense of community; it also makes Lightchain AI a truly unbiased platform, immune to manipulation by centralized entities. The Role of Solana – Fast, Scalable, and Sustainable Lightchain AI is built on Solana, one of the fastest and most scalable blockchains in the world. Solana’s high-speed transaction capabilities and energy-efficient design make it the perfect backbone for Lightchain AI’s ambitious vision. With Solana, Lightchain AI can process massive amounts of data in real time—all while keeping environmental impact low. It’s a seamless marriage of groundbreaking AI and blockchain technologies. Why Decentralized AI Matters Centralized AI systems are often plagued with concerns of bias, unfair algorithms, and lack of accountability. Traditional tech giants have been criticized for creating systems that lack transparency, leaning unfairly toward certain demographics or propagating hidden agendas. Lightchain AI’s decentralized model flips this script. By allowing the community to drive development and decision-making, it ensures: Ethical AI with community oversight. Transparency in every step of the development process. Inclusivity, empowering global users to contribute equally to AI’s evolution. This isn’t just theoretical. Imagine being able to influence AI systems that will power healthcare diagnostics, financial predictions, or education access! Lightchain AI puts this power directly in the hands of its stakeholders. Why YOU Should Be a Part of This Journey If you’re excited about the merger of AI and blockchain, there’s no better time to get involved. By joining Lightchain AI’s presale today, you’ll immediately become part of its growing community and gain exclusive access

100,000 Signatures Away: How the 'Bitcoin Initiative' Could Redefine Swiss Banking Reports reveal that the Swiss Federal Chancellery has officially added the “Bitcoin Initiative” to its registry, aiming to integrate bitcoin into the Swiss National Bank’s reserves via a constitutional amendment. Swiss Chancellery Registers ‘Bitcoin Initiative’ On Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024, the Swiss Federal Chancellery confirmed its registration of the “Bitcoin Initiative.” This effort, spearheaded by Yves Bennaïm, founder of the nonprofit think tank 2B4CH, enjoys backing from Luzius Meisser of Bitcoin Suisse. Both proponents argue that incorporating bitcoin (BTC) into the central bank’s reserves could enhance Switzerland’s autonomy while shielding its economy from external forces like the European Central Bank (ECB). Roughly a week prior, Dr. Paolo Pamini, a National Councillor at the Federal Assembly, announced that he and colleagues from other political parties had submitted a parliamentary inquiry to the Federal Council regarding Bitcoin and the Swiss National Bank. “We seek clarity on whether the Swiss National Bank has the legal framework to include Bitcoin as an asset to back the money supply, and what adjustments would be needed if it doesn’t,” he shared in a Linkedin post. In a Tuesday post on X, a report shared that the Swiss Federal Chancellery has officially registered the initiative. If it meets the requirements laid out by the Swiss Federal Law on Political Rights, the effort could move ahead. With this step, the initiative now has a chance to progress, depending on the fulfillment of specific legal conditions. “Now that the initiative is officially registered, the committee behind the initiative has 18 months to collect at least 100,000 signatures from Swiss citizens eligible to vote,” the X account explained. This update arrives amid lively discussions about strategic bitcoin reserves, with interest brewing among individual states, major nations, financial institutions, and central banks. As discussions surrounding strategic bitcoin reserves intensify, Switzerland’s move to pursue a constitutional amendment may set a precedent for other nations considering similar approaches. The outcome of this initiative and other schemes like it could influence global financial strategies, potentially reshaping the role of bitcoin in traditional financial (tradfi) systems

Bitget, Uniswap, FTX Soar to Lead Top Crypto Gainers and Best Wallet Token Could Pump Next The Christmas holiday season has already been eventful for the crypto markets, as Bitcoin and Ethereum have both pulled back from their recent peaks. Despite those bearish moves from the key market leaders, some altcoins have shown considerable strength, while others are surging skywards and giving their holders reason to celebrate. Among those are 3 leading exchange tokens – Bitget, Uniswap, and FTX – which have all seen strong gains of late. Meanwhile, another platform token called Best Wallet token is also gaining popularity, having raised over $5.5 million during its ongoing ICO. Bitget Token ($BGB) Goes Parabolic The last couple of years have been especially strong for Bitget, as crypto exchange regulations continue to tighten in key territories. While some of its competitors have backed away from regulatory challenges (sometimes leaving countries altogether), Bitget has faced them head-on. In total, BGB has pumped by over 415% in December alone, leaving the rest of the market in the dust at the time of writing. Investors waiting for a pullback could watch key psychological price levels (such as $6, $5, and $4), before the price has a chance to fall back to its previous resistance at $3.50. For now, it’s likely to take at least a couple of weeks for BGB’s price action to move on to its next stage – so market participants have plenty of time to formulate new strategies. Uniswap ($UNI) Hangs in the Balance With a gain of around 8.6% in the last 24 hours, UNI has made it to second place in CoinMarketCap’s list of top gainers. The market-leading DEX has certainly benefited from this year’s heavy meme coin action – but right now, its price is stuck in a somewhat ambiguous position: On the one hand, UNI is in the process of forming a head-and-shoulders chart pattern that (if completed) could see its price drop as low as $10. This would be a fall of about -29% from its current price. However, on the bull side, UNI also remains in an uptrend that has shown strength through the presence of a large daily candle wick from seven days ago. That bounce could be a sign that UNI will recover from its current predicament, and push back towards $19.50 – which would net the bulls 39% in profits. Both bulls and bears have everything to play for when it comes to UNI’s price, but those with a taste for the highest drama will find the next token even more fascinating… Could FTX Token ($FTT) 4x in 2025? FTX is a name that barely needs an introduction, following its 2022 collapse and the countless headlines that followed as a number of its top executives were tried, sentenced, and eventually imprisoned. Since that time (and the collapse of FTX Token’s value by -93% in November 2022), FTT has achieved considerable popularity among degen traders willing to embrace its high-risk nature. FTT’s daily price chart shows just the most recent stages of this crypto’s rollercoaster action: Calling FTT “volatile” would be something of an understatement – but if we zoom out, a potentially massive opportunity emerges. As FTT progresses through its current bullish ascending triangle pattern, its chances of breaking upwards (just like the BGB chart we saw earlier) will naturally increase. If FTT were to achieve a similar breakout to BGB, there are very few resistance levels between its current price and a full recovery to its pre-crash value: Of course, such a scenario (involving a gain of at least 438%) is unlikely, at least on paper. That said, stranger things have happened in the crypto markets – especially when true degens get involved. When degen whales and crypto communities really throw their weight behind an idea, anything is possible. So if FTT has a chance of returning to its former value, 2025 might be the year that it finally happens. Could $BEST be the Next Big Platform Utility Token? As we’ve seen throughout this article, crypto platform utility tokens have massive growth potential – and can generate huge profits very quickly. As we look towards 2025, Best Wallet Token ($BEST) stands out as an emerging utility token. With almost $6 milion raised in its presale so far, $BEST is already attracting interest from savvy investors looking to diversify their holdings. The $BEST token powers the Best Wallet ecosystem, which uses a mobile app (for iOS and Android) to provide everything from a highly flexible and secure cryptocurrency wallet to crypto swaps (via Best DEX), iGaming, and all of the very top crypto presales that investors need to know about – long before the tokens become available for trading. $BEST token holders will be able to get exclusive crypto presale access, airdrops, hot new token tips, iGaming extras (like lootboxes, free spins, and deposit bonuses), reduced transaction fees across the ecosystem, governance votes, and staking rewards.

Best Wallet Raises $5M in New Crypto Presale, Expert Predicts 10x Potential Best Wallet Raises $5M in New Crypto Presale, Expert Predicts 10x Potential The Best Wallet ($BEST) token presale continues to attract significant interest from investors as it crosses the $5 million mark. It’s been just a few weeks since the capital raise started and the project’s advanced features appear to have been enough to persuade Web 3 enthusiasts to chip in and position themselves for massive gains once the token is listed. The recent dip that the crypto market has experienced after the Fed’s hawkish comments this week has not deterred investors from pushing the $BEST presale to new heights. The crypto-supportive policies endorsed by Donald Trump continue to be a good reason to invest in the blockchain sector. Best Wallet introduces innovative tools for investors including a screener that will allow them to identify the most promising Web 3 projects in their earliest stages. Moreover, the developing team’s roadmap includes the launch of a decentralized exchange (DEX) and a debit card service that would make spending crypto for users a seamless experience. The native token of Best Wallet – $BEST – is currently available at a presale discount of just $0.02327. This latest batch will only be available for 27 more hours. After it concludes, the price will be raised. Positive outlook for stablecoins and DeFi in 2025 Stablecoins have shined this year as crypto adoption across the globe continues to surge. The combined market capitalization of these digital assets has soared by 48% in 2024 to an all-time high of $193 billion as of December 1. Meanwhile, data from Coinbase’s market outlook indicated that over $27 trillion in transactions involving stablecoins have been processed since the year started, which represents a 3X jump compared to the same period the year before. The sector is showing no signs of slowing down and analysts believe that another $5 trillion could be added to these figures in 2025. Moreover, the DeFi sector is poised to reemerge as a powerful force within the crypto industry after a few challenging years that led investors to question the security of most protocols. The total value locked (TVL) across multiple blockchains has reached levels not seen in the past two years at $131 billion while the current trend indicates that this metric will exceed its 2021 record of $178 billion by next year. However, meme coins are considered the most promising sector of all at the moment as these tokens have made their way to the top of the crypto ranks by market capitalization in a relatively short period. The top 9 most valuable assets in this segment have already surpassed the $1 billion mark and many more have reached nine figures this year after the post-election rally. Investors’ interest for these “internet jokes” – as some call them – has made itself evident and is challenging the fundamental notion of how the value of assets is determined. Growing communities, a sense of belonging, and virality are some of the factors that have contributed to the latest surge in meme coin valuations. A secure web3 wallet to store valuable digital assets in the new crypto era A new era is starting for crypto and investors need a secure wallet to store their digital assets. Prices are surging and tokens that were once worthless are not quite valuable. Best Wallet outpaces the competition by delivering exceptional transaction execution capabilities. This crypto storage solution can be integrated with over 200 decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and over 20 cross-chain bridges to offer the best prices available for each token. Users have struggled for years to convert their fiat currency to digital assets but that will no longer be an issue as Best Wallet offers effortless off-ramping through its partnership with top-notch payment processors like Alchemy Pay and MoonPay. This ensures support for local wallets and financial institutions that will process payments seamlessly and rapidly. Moreover, this wallet supports over 100 fiat currencies at the time including USD, EUR, and GBP and users will be able to deposit funds directly from their bank accounts into the wallet. Although these features are appealing, there’s one tool that has captivated early investors and users above all. It is called Upcoming Tokens and its primary purpose is to help investors identify nascent projects that offer promising upside through an advanced screener. Best Wallet will enable users to get their hands on these presale assets at bargain prices to position themselves favorably to reap significant gains once they gain popular
