There has been a paradigm shift going on as to what is a catalyst of hype in the cryptocurrency world since 2018 is here. It is clear that it was difficult to explain the craze for a coin in the past as much about it was just talk, now the time has come for the older cryptocurrencies [as the infrastructure for them to function has been being built for a time now] to show what they can do; and when it comes to that Ripple does know how to deliver.
Looking at , the goal of the project was to provide one frictionless experience to send money globally using the power of blockchain. This has been achieved numerous times through the partnerships the project has made with banks which intend to use their payment settlement solutions of xVia, xCurrent and xRapid.
In the middle of this returning cryptocurrency excitement in the market – there is news that Apple Pay Ripple’s Interledger protocol. According to the announcement, the update will be rolled out via the Safari browser using both macOS11.1 and iOS11.1. There is a possibility that Apple Pay will be accepting cryptocurrencies in the near-future term.

The open architecture and minimal protocol enable interoperability for any value transfer system. Interledger is not tied to any one company, blockchain, or currency.
Another successful match turning out to be is the one made between SBI Holdings and Ripple. Being based in Tokyo, SBI Holdings did always act as a bull when it comes to Ripple since the beginning with Yashitaka Kitao – company CEO, posting many times how smart and positively functioning Ripple is.
SBI Holdings did state that it would give Ripple trading preferences in the new exchanges it is making. The argument supporting the move is that XRP has high demand in Japan and a strong following user base in institutions. Accordingly, Mr. Kitao added that in the future – XRP will become the global standard in cryptocurrencies.
Speculation of an Amazon partnership . The idea behind the speculation hinged on the reliability of XRP during transactions. The coin is known for 3.3 second transaction speeds and $0.0004 charges per transactions.
On the same speculating-train, news have been spreading out that the blockchain solutions which XRP offers were suggested as being ideal for Amazon’s fleet management system.
Maybe that All hell will Break Loose very soon was right by Abra CEO Bill Barhydt as he mentioned that big time investors will start to step in.
The reason to support his opinion is that billion-dollar hedge funds and institutional investor have still not stepped in but did decide that the asset is very worth investing and their time.
“I talk to hedge funds, high net worth individuals, even commodity speculators. They look at the volatility in the crypto markets and they see it as a huge opportunity. Once that happens, all hell will break loose. He added: “Once the floodgates are opened, they’re opened.”

It has been almost a month since Ethereum [ETH] price has seen the $500.00 level for the last time. However, since Thursday April 12, are reversing majorly in price with double digit gains in a weekly bases – ETH +30.00% in the last 7 days.

To reach today’s trading ground, the pair ETH/USD failed once on April 12 but the achieved supports of $480.00 did hold steady and made sure in any moment the important $500.00 will be broken.
As the value has overextended from the bullish trend line on the 4-hours chart at $460.00, there could be a backtrack but as long as it stays above the level we can see the continuation of this nice uptrend and it could even test the $575.00 in the very near term.
On the upside, the price must break the recent high at $530 to start a fresh upside wave. The next hurdles on the upside above $530 is close to the $575 level.
Major Support Level – $460
Major Resistance Level – $530
The Bitcoin price has fallen by roughly $100, but this isn’t necessarily something to fear or a sign of another impending bear run. The currency has spiked by approximately $1,200 since mid-week, jumping from $6,900 to $8,100 in just under 48 hours, and a small drop in the records isn’t something to get one’s hat in a twist.
Many do believe that with the start of the second quarter bulls are in line to take helm and lead the show. one of them that supports the idea strongly is Tim Draper, who recently stated that he believes bitcoin could reach a quarter of a million dollars by the year 2022.
“I’m thinking $250,000 a bitcoin by 2022,” he recently exclaimed to an enthusiastic crowd outside Draper University in California. “Believe it, it’s going to happen. You heard it here first. They’re going to think you’re crazy, but believe it. It’s happening. It’s going to be awesome.”
CEO of cryptocurrency investment platform Atlas Quantum – Rodrigo Marques, does also support the bullish wave of feels as he suggest that the last months were preparations for BTC and the following coins to come back even stronger:
“bitcoin deflationary characteristics are an indication that in the long run, the market is bullish. We believe the price could be set to go up and has the potential to reach December 2017 levels again.”
