Michael Saylor believes 2026 will be a major year for Bitcoin adoption. He predicts that U.S. banks will lead the way in expanding Bitcoin services. 🐍

Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market was back in the red following a brief uptick on Friday. Bitcoin (BTC) is down almost 2% and has slipped below $88,000, while Ethereum (ETH) is down 1.5% at $ 2,320. 🐻🐻

The Ripple CTO’s hub, a humble production service, aims for unyielding uptime and reliability. Data from it has been as valuable as a well-tended field, offering insights into the XRP Ledger network’s behavior and performance. 🌾

In his latest YouTube sermon (or should we say, warning?), titled “2026 is a Year for Building”, Galaxy Digital’s fearless leader announced that the market’s not buying fairy tales anymore. Tokens like XRP and Cardano-those darling dreams of many a crypto enthusiast-might soon find themselves age-ing out of relevance if they can’t actually do something useful. Yep, it’s about practical value now, folks, not just tweets and hype.

On Binance’s XRP/USDT 15-minute chart, the price lingers near $1.8656, trapped between a descending resistance ($1.88, darling, how passé) and a rising floor ($1.84, ever so hopeful). Such compression! Such drama! One might mistake it for a Victorian novel-if Victorian novels were about cryptocurrency and not tragic love affairs.

But according to Kommersant’s Andrei Kolesnikov (who probably has more sources than a black-market caviar dealer), the real scoop is that the U.S. and Russia are now discussing Bitcoin mining at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). Because nothing screams “safe investment” like radioactive crypto! ☢️💰

The initial days were nothing short of a fireworks display. PI soared to dizzying heights, peaking at nearly $3.00 by the end of February. But, as is the case with most grand performances, the curtain fell swiftly. The hype evaporated faster than champagne bubbles at a dull party, and PI tumbled into a bear market of its own making. By October, it had shed over 94% of its value, hitting an all-time low of $0.172. A tragicomic descent, indeed.

In the grand forecast scroll, Galaxy predicts that in 2026, the vaults will open wider than a sardine can at a summer picnic-pumping over fifty billion dollars into US spot crypto ETFs. A far cry from the modest twenty-three billion of the previous year-a veritable floodgates, my friend. As if bankers and fund managers slowly shed their fears like an old coat, we anticipate Vanguard and wirehouses unleashing their crypto beast, fueling the madness. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs? They’re expected to break previous records like a kid smashing a piñata-except instead of candy, it’s money, and plenty of it. 🎉💸
