Ripple will release 1 billion XRP tokens from its monthly escrow tomorrow, continuing a long-standing program that parcels out pre-allocated tokens in scheduled tranches. As of press time, XRP trades at $2.85, with a 24-hour volume of $5.02 billion, up nearly 19%.

A widely followed crypto analyst is warning that one red-hot altcoin must hold a key support level or it may collapse in value. In a new thread, pseudonymous crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa tells his 255,500 followers on X that Plasma (XPL) needs to hold $1.15 as support or it may enter an enduring bearish phase, after its explosive move to the upside in the last week. Plasma is a proof-of-stake (PoS) layer-1 project optimized for large-scale stablecoin payments and compatible with Ethereum (ETH). “XPL: time to see if this was a one week pump and now we move to other narratives, or if this has sustainability. The $1.15 and $1.28 regions are two areas that I’m watching carefully; I think that these are strong support areas that should hold for a bounce. Lose those areas and this thing goes to the gulag and we move on to the next thing. I’m still positioned in this and believe that it still has some legs but I’ll be quick to cut if it loses tho...

The crypto market is primed for a bullish fourth quarter despite the recent pullback, according to Coin Bureau’s Guy Turner. Turner tells 2.71 million subscribers of the Coin Bureau YouTube channel that after a “brutal sell-off that wiped out weeks of gains,” the crypto market could be headed for the “most explosive quarter of the year.” According to Turner, the crypto market’s bullish case in the fourth quarter rests on “three powerful pillars” that include institutions that have already invested in Bitcoin and could also invest in altcoins amid a potential altcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). “The altcoin ETF pipeline is now primed for Q4. Bloomberg analysts are giving spot ETFs for assets like Solana, XRP, and Litecoin a 75% to 90% chance of approval before the end of the year. And this isn’t a minor development. This is a potential floodgate opening for billions of dollars in institutional capital to flow directly into top-tier altcoins for the firs...
