Legendary Trader Peter Brandt Says One XRP Rival Could Become a ‘Rock Star,’ Unveils Massive Price Target for Silver

Image
Veteran trader Peter Brandt says that one payments-focused crypto asset will outshine the pack while predicting a massive upswing for silver. Brandt tells his 803,900 followers on the social media platform X that while most cryptocurrencies will eventually go to zero, one token he envisions becoming a “rock star” is the XRP (XRP) rival Stellar (XLM). “Every crypto nerd has his/her/its own pet rock or Beanie Baby. I believe 95%+ of the 11,000 actively traded coins will become near worthless – your pet rock included. Already 3.7 million coins are dead (source: CoinGecko). Only about 50% of most actively traded cryptos are trading at greater than 10% of their peak value. One coin I think could become a rock star is XLM.” Source: Peter Brandt/X Looking at Brandt’s chart, he seems to suggest that XLM is gearing up to break out from a massive triangle pattern on the monthly chart. The chart also appears to suggest that Brandt is targetin...

XRP’s network activity has taken a major hit, with active addresses plunging alongside the asset’s inability to push further toward the $4 mark. Notably, the number of XRP’s active addresses peaked at 44,143 on July 21 on the weekly timeframe before dropping to just 24,644 by July 27, a 44.2% decline. The drop followed a brief surge from 30,190 on July 20, indicating that the increase in user activity was short-lived, according to the latest on-chain data retrieved by Finbold from CryptoQuant. At the same time, XRP’s price fell from $3.55 to $3.16, marking a 10.99% drop. XRP active addresses chart.

In a new thread on the social media platform X, Coinbase Assets says it is adding support for Jito Staked SOL (JITOSOL) and non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Metaplex (MPLX). “Jito Staked SOL and Metaplex are now live on //coinbase.com and in the Coinbase iOS and Android apps.
