In a tweet so riveting it could have easily been listed in the intergalactic bestsellers, SMQKE shared the Ripple scroll of doom—sorry, *document*—which noted that XRP is likely to appreciate further as demand increases. The crypto leviathan believes this demand will swell like a bread dough left in a warm place as its payment services become as commonplace as wiggly green aliens. Cryptic but relevant details suggest that XRP must provide tangible benefits to its holders—otherwise, it risks becoming just another speculative dust mite floating in the cosmic ether.

But wait, it gets better. XRP has officially hit $3, a level it hasn’t seen since February 2025. It’s like the comeback kid of the crypto world, and it’s bringing the whole party with it. Bitcoin, the OG of the crypto scene, is also flexing at $123,000. 🤑

With Congress set to debate several crypto bills this week, including those regulating stablecoins and digital asset classifications, traders are preparing for heightened volatility. BeInCrypto has analyzed three altcoins to watch closely during the US Crypto Week.

In a tweet that was equal parts confusing and amusing, Schiff wrote, “The silver train keeps on quietly chugging along 🚂. This morning it’s above $39, its highest since Feb. 2012 📈. The rise in silver is far more significant to the real world than Bitcoin’s new high 🤔. Industries that need silver will now have to pay more to buy it 💸. No one needs Bitcoin 🚫.”

So here we are, on July 14, with Bitcoin (BTC) trying out for the title of “Most Dramatic Price Rise,” hitting an eye-popping peak of over $123,000. I mean, at this rate, it’s about to donate a kidney just to outshine Amazon and stand proudly as the fifth-largest asset on the planet. Who needs a good credit score, right?

This strategy, reminiscent of Donald Trump’s campaign, may prove to be a double-edged sword ⚔️. While it could bring in much-needed funds, it also risks alienating Democratic voters who are increasingly wary of crypto’s influence 🤔.

Bitcoin’s surfing the waves of exchange order-book liquidity like a pro, but those gnarly gains are plateauing around $120,000, dude. 🏄‍♂️

Even in the quagmire of this absurd marketplace, Coinbase, in its unladylike haste, decided upon the listing in a mere day, as if knowing the fickle nature of the crowd. “Users could engage with the token positively and safely,” mused Paul Grewal, the Chief Legal Officer, with a measure of irony that could make even the most stoic chuckle. Yet, the very decision was colorfully wrapped in the caveat of being an “experimental” token, thus gently nudging participants to expect the unexpected, including wild price fluctuations. 🎢

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which had been on a bit of a winning streak last week, decided to take a 100-point nosedive. It’s like the stock market’s version of a roller coaster, but without the fun. Losses in early trading added to the general mood of “what did we do to deserve this?” following President Donald Trump’s renewed tariff threats. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite, not to be outdone, also opened lower on Monday, just to keep things interesting.
