Xaman Wallet Moves $6B in XRP for Just $510 in Fees

Xaman Wallet processed $6B in 2024 for just $510 fees, proving XRP Ledger’s speed, low costs, and growing popularity.

Xaman Wallet, formerly Xumn, just flexed the power of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) by processing over $6 billion in transactions in 2024, including cross-border payments, all while charging a tiny $510 in fees. That’s less than 10 cents per million dollars! Compare that to bank transfers that cost $20–$50 for just $2,000 and take days to process.

Xaman’s wallet success comes down to its slick features, especially its xApps—embedded web apps that let users tap into on/off-ramp services, decentralized exchanges, and more, all without leaving the app. In 2024, users interacted with xApps almost 8 million times, showing how much value people see in these tools.

On top of that, Xaman’s transaction volume on XRPL was 7 times higher than any other decentralized exchange (DEX) on XRPL in 2024. With regulatory clarity finally starting to build, Xaman and other XRP-based apps are in prime position to grow even more.

Xaman’s breakthrough shows XRP Ledger is a serious contender for fast, cheap, and scalable payments. The crypto space is taking notice, and more cool features are on the way.

Ripple Pushes for April 16, 2025 Deadline in Ongoing SEC Battle

Ripple wants until April 16, 2025, to respond to the SEC’s appeal, calling it weak and predicting a major win ahead.

Ripple just asked for an April 16, 2025 deadline to hit back in its legal face-off with the SEC. This comes after the SEC filed an appeal to keep pushing its claim that XRP sales on exchanges are securities, even after losing part of the case earlier this year.

ICYMI, the court had previously ruled some XRP sales weren’t securities, giving Ripple and crypto fans hope. But the SEC isn’t backing down, even after Gary Gensler left. They’re doubling down, saying the court made serious mistakes. Ripple’s top lawyer, Stuart Alderoty, isn’t fazed. He called the SEC’s appeal “just noise” and is betting on Ripple coming out on top.

Attorney Jeremy Hogan, closely following the drama, slammed the SEC’s appeal, calling it weak. He pointed out the SEC still can’t prove XRP buyers expected gains solely from Ripple’s work, especially since many buyers don’t even know what Ripple is.

Ripple’s team is confident this case could set a new tone for crypto regulations. They believe the next administration might even drop the SEC’s fight altogether. Until then, Ripple’s hodling strong, ready for a legal win and a crypto-powered future.

MicroStrategy Faces Potential Billion-Dollar Bitcoin Tax Dilemma

MicroStrategy might owe billions in taxes on unrealized Bitcoin gains due to new CAMT rules, risking its long-term hodl strategy.



MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin obsession might backfire big time, thanks to new tax rules under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) slaps a 15% tax on financial income, even if no Bitcoin is sold. Since the company’s Bitcoin stash is worth over $18 billion, their tax bill could hit $4 billion if the IRS doesn’t cut them some slack.

Here’s the deal: unlike regular Bitcoin hodlers who only pay taxes when they sell, MicroStrategy could be taxed on paper profits. While the IRS excludes unrealized stock gains from CAMT, they haven’t done the same for Bitcoin yet. MicroStrategy’s pushing for Bitcoin to be treated like stocks, but it’s a toss-up whether the IRS will budge.

Making it worse, new accounting rules mean MicroStrategy has to report Bitcoin’s market value, which pumps up earnings—and taxes. If they can’t get an exemption, they might have to sell Bitcoin, which totally kills their hodl-and-chill vibe.

Still, with IRS rules up in the air, MicroStrategy is stuck waiting. The Bitcoin tax saga shows just how dicey it can be to pay taxes on super-volatile assets. One wrong move, and the company’s future could be shaky.

Coinbase CEO Addresses Delays in Solana Transactions with Apology

Coinbase CEO apologized for Solana delays, blamed memecoin hype, promised better support, and pledged upgrades to handle demand.



Major delays to Solana transactions last weekend left Coinbase chief Brian Armstrong eating his hat following a fusillade of protests from inconvenienced consumers. Indeed, some did either get canned, or would ultimately finish the 10 hours required in transit for processing; therefore, that backlash unfolded very quickly online. Following word that transactions could be smoothed through, following some congestion backlog-clearing from their side, the CEO later on took to X and said those canceled could still have a second chance.


Delays were caused by the unexpected spike in activity on Solana, well over what Coinbase’s system could support. The increase in demand-10 times higher than usual-was mostly due to the hype surrounding new memecoins associated with Donald Trump. Armstrong has now come forward and accepted that Coinbase dropped the ball with its support for Solana, saying it would work harder to scale infrastructure in order to keep up with such spikes-particularly for strong use cases such as DEX and memecoin trading.

Some users accused Coinbase of focusing too much on Ethereum projects over Solana, but Armstrong responded by committing to give Solana the same level of support as Bitcoin and Ethereum in the future. Coinbase is working with the Solana Foundation to improve its system, and though delays have decreased by 30%, users are still advised to expect transaction times of up to 24 hours during peak periods.

Hacker takes over Nasdaq’s X account to push fake memecoin scam

Nasdaq’s X account got hacked to hype a fake memecoin, STONKS, hitting $80M market cap briefly before crashing hard.



The official X account of Nasdaq got hacked, and what unfolded looked completely like a plot from a cybercrime movie. Using the account, the hackers began shilling a memecoin called STONKS by linking it to a fake affiliate account, hyping the token as the next big thing in the market.

Turns out, STONKS was a ripoff of an already existing Solana-based memecoin with the same name, and the original meme’s IP wasn’t even theirs. Still, the fake token went from zero to an $80 million market cap within minutes of launching—talk about wild. But the hype didn’t last long. Just a few days later, its value plummeted, leaving FOMO traders with nothing but regret, according to DEXscreener stats.

This isn’t the first time hackers have pulled this stunt. Hijacking high-profile accounts on X has become a thing lately. Big names, businesses, and even institutions are getting hit, losing money and reputation in the process.

Hitherto, Nasdaq has had absolutely nothing to say about the breach, but this mess is another reminder: secure your accounts! If big dogs like Nasdaq can get hacked, anyone can. Slap those passwords with a raise and add two-factor authentication. Stay safe, fam!

Solana Stablecoin Supply Skyrockets 57% Following $TRUMP Token Debut

Solana’s stablecoin supply surged 57% after $TRUMP memecoin dropped, hitting $39B DEX volume, sparking wild trading hype.

Solana just had a weekend to remember, and it’s all thanks to the $TRUMP memecoin launch that dropped Friday night. The hype was unreal, with Solana’s stablecoin supply shooting up by 57% in just three days. This might be the craziest demand spike for crypto trading we’ve ever seen.

On Sunday alone, Solana’s DEX trading volume hit a jaw-dropping $39 billion. To put it in perspective, the previous daily high of $10 billion now looks like pocket change. The network couldn’t even handle the chaos, with apps glitching and infrastructure slowing down.

The $TRUMP token, paired with Circle’s USDC stablecoin, brought in a wave of new traders. Many saw it as a golden opportunity to dive into the memecoin frenzy. But by the weekend’s end, the token dipped 40% from its peak, turning the whole thing into a high-stakes gamble.

The real shocker? Solana added $3.05 billion in stablecoins over the weekend—growth that usually takes nearly a year. With $9.6 billion in stablecoins now circulating, this epic surge could mean big things for Solana’s long-term game. Love it or hate it, the $TRUMP launch just shook up the crypto world like never before.

Ethereum Shake-Up: Developer Exits as Vitalik Reshapes EF Leadership

OG Ethereum dev Eric Conner dips after EF leadership shake-up, joins FreysaAI to safeguard crypto prize pools with AI.



Big changes are hitting the Ethereum world. Eric Conner, one of the real OGs of Ethereum development, just announced he’s leaving the community. This comes right after Vitalik Buterin dropped news about reshuffling the Ethereum Foundation (EF) leadership.

Eric’s been in the game for over a decade, making waves in Ethereum’s DeFi scene. His standout work is basically co-authoring EIP-1559, the game-changing upgrade that revamped how transaction fees work. Pretty legendary stuff.

In an X post, Eric shared how Vitalik’s early pitch for Ethereum hit him harder than Bitcoin ever did. But now? The vibe’s different. Eric’s passion for Ethereum faded as the EF’s upper management shifted directions. He felt like the connection between the community and leadership got blurry after Vitalik stepped back.

“I respected Vitalik as a genius and a solid leader,” Eric said. “But with him taking a step back, EF just didn’t feel the same.”

So, what’s next for Eric? He’s diving into the AI world, joining FreysaAI—a project on the Base blockchain. Their mission? Using AI agents to protect crypto prize pools. A fresh chapter for a DevFi legend.

Cardano on the Rise: Is $7 ADA Just Around the Corner?

Cardano (ADA) is predicted to surge to $7, with strong chart signals and a long-term bullish outlook despite short-term dips.



Cardano (ADA) has been chilling this month while Bitcoin and Solana are hitting new highs. But hold up—experts are saying ADA could be about to blow up. Big Mike, a well-known crypto analyst on X, is predicting ADA will soon surpass its all-time high, with a target price of $7!

According to Mike’s analysis, ADA is currently in its third wave, which could send it all the way up to $3. After a potential dip to $1.5, ADA could then skyrocket to that $7 mark. But here’s the catch: Elliott Wave patterns take time, so this might not happen overnight. The first wave started in May about two years ago, and it could take until April for everything to play out.

On the charts, ADA is showing some serious growth signals. Right after jumping from $0.28 to $1.33 last year, it’s now testing support at $0.81, which could mean a bullish continuation. A bullish pennant pattern is also forming, hinting at more gains. If ADA breaks out, it could retest its all-time high of $3, but if it dips below $0.81, the price could drop to $0.50.

In short, ADA’s future looks bright, but it’s gonna be a bit of a waiting game!
