Bitcoin has surged past the $93K milestone while the broader crypto market capitalization climbed to approximately $3.25 trillion, signaling renewed momentum across digital assets. Meanwhile, altcoins are showing mixed but intriguing performance: XRP gained 3%, Render jumped 22%, Filecoin pushed up 9%, and Kaspa ticked up 5%. In the project ecosystem, PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) is making waves with its presale campaign, which has already accumulated over $2.5 million at a price point of $0.0012161. For those watching the launch, the window is tightening—the presale closes in just 3 days.

XRP deserves serious consideration if you're thinking long-term. Whether it's for building wealth over years or planning for retirement, the risk-reward profile makes a strong case. The fundamentals haven't changed—institutional interest, regulatory clarity progress, and the growing adoption of RippleNet keep the narrative intact. Many traders who got in early and just held through the noise have come out ahead. It's not about timing the market perfectly; it's about patience and conviction in what you own.

Recently, Bitcoin has pulled back from its two-month high, while altcoins like XRP and SUI are starting to gain momentum. XRP has already gained 29% this year, with a decent pace. The meme coin craze is heating up, with Pump.fun's single-day trading volume just surpassing $1.27 billion, setting a record. The futures market has been quite active, with over $400 million in positions liquidated, mainly short positions. XRP's open interest has also hit a new high in recent weeks. Interestingly, although the funding rates for most mainstream coins are rising, major coins like SOL are experiencing negative funding rates, indicating that many traders are still bearish. Behind SUI's price increase, there's a rumor fueling the rally—market speculation that it will introduce privacy features. However, looking at the overall market, the altcoin heat index is only 27/100, which is still relatively low. Coupled with the currently high RSI levels, there may be some short-term correction pressure.
