Crypto Drama Unfolds: XRP, ADA, and a Whale of a Purchase! 🐋💰

by

Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! Buckle up because U.Today is about to take you on a wild ride through the top three news stories that dropped like a hot mixtape yesterday. 🎤🔥

New key date for XRP holders just emerged

So, guess what? In a recent X post (because who needs Twitter anymore?), the Deribit derivatives crypto exchange spilled the tea on XRP options that are set to expire on March 28. Traders are all like, “XRP to the moon!” 🚀 with in-the-money (ITM) calls leading the charge. Apparently, they think XRP is going to skyrocket past certain strike prices, and who can blame them? After the SEC’s appeal against Ripple got the boot, it’s like a party in the XRP neighborhood! 🎉 But hold your horses—XRP hit a high of $2.59 on March 19 and is now chilling at $2.37, down almost 5%. Talk about a rollercoaster! 🎢

Major exchange lists Cardano (ADA) and Coinbase Ethereum for futures collateral

In other news, Coinbase International Exchange just announced that Cardano (ADA) and Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (cbETH) can now be used as collateral for perpetual futures. I mean, finally! It’s like they just discovered the secret sauce for crypto trading. 🍔💸 ADA has had a rough time with the SEC breathing down its neck, but with Gary Gensler packing his bags, things are looking up! 🌈 Coinbase is also on a mission to bring more assets on-chain, because who doesn’t want to ride the tokenization wave? 🌊

Billions of Shiba Inu (SHIB) acquired by major dormant Ethereum whale

And now for the pièce de résistance: a mysterious Ethereum whale just decided to wake up from its slumber and bought a whopping 64.8 billion SHIB tokens for around $834,620. 🐶💸 This wallet, known as “0xE996” (because why not have a cool name?), hasn’t touched SHIB before, but it’s already sitting on about 1,680 ETH and a treasure trove of other cryptos. It’s like they just raided a crypto candy store! 🍬 But here’s the kicker: all these transactions happened within eight hours after two months of radio silence. Is this a savvy investor or just someone who forgot their password? 🤔
