The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken a major step that could accelerate the launch of spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to several major cryptocurrencies, including XRP. According to cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett, the SEC has asked issuers to withdraw their existing 19b-4 filings following the approval of new generic listing standards. Withdrawals could begin as early as this week, she said in an X post on September 29.  Besides XRP, other affected cryptocurrencies include Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Dogecoin (DOGE).

The decentralized finance (DeFi) project HyperVault is facing rug pull accusations after $3.6 million worth of crypto disappeared from its platform. HyperVault, built on Hyperliquid’s layer-1 blockchain, billed itself as a project that enabled users to deposit capital that was deployed across DeFi protocols to earn yield. Early Friday morning, however, the blockchain security firm PeckShield detected an “abnormal” withdrawal of $3.6 million worth of crypto assets and stablecoins. Peckshield notes the funds were then bridged from Hyperliquid to Ethereum (ETH), traded into ETH, and then funneled into the crypto mixer Tornado Cash, a controversial platform that helps users conceal their digital assets. HyperVault’s X account was also deleted, and the project’s website was down on Friday. Both PeckShield and the decentralized finance data aggregator DeFi Llama concluded that the project committed a rug pull. Rug pulls are a deceptive s...

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index plunged to a ”Fear” reading of 28, down from 44 yesterday, its lowest level since April. “We are not about to enter another crypto winter, as that implies another spring will soon follow,” said Schiff, a long-time critic of Bitcoin, on X. “Get ready for a crypto ice age.

$1.05 trillion asset manager Deutsche Bank says that German central banks may buy and hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets by 2030. The bank’s latest report highlights the growing interest in digital assets such as Bitcoin, as well as Gold’s recent gains in 2025, rivaling fiat. Deutsche Analysts consider it plausible that Bitcoin could complement gold as a reserve asset in the next five years.. Among the key signals for those analysts are a decreasing 30-day volatility—which reached multi-year lows in August 2025—a greater market depth, and enhanced regulatory attention in major jurisdictions. Marion Laboure, Analyst at Deutsche Bank Research, even stated that she could see Bitcoin becoming “digital gold” in the next few years, something that Strategy CEO Michael Saylor has preached throughout the past years. This hypothesis by Deutsche Bank could become a reality, so long as regulatory clarity in the USA, EU, and Asia continues to become clearer. With the US al...
