Ripple targets Fed, XRP recovery boosts market after slump
2025/07/06 05:55- Ripple Seeks National Banking License in the US
- XRP Price Finds Support at $2,22
- XRP Trading Volume Drops 27%
XRP is trading at $2,23 without gains today, reflecting a correction after recent gains. Daily volume fell 27% to $3,15 billion, indicating reduced interest in trading in the short term. Open interest on futures contracts also fell about 4%, signaling a slight cooling in market sentiment.
Despite the pullback, XRP’s weekly performance remains positive, with an appreciation of over 6,5%. The cryptocurrency has fluctuated between $2,21 and $2,31 over the past 24 hours, indicating a range of strong volatility.
According to analyst Dark Defender, XRP is repeating patterns from February 2023. He pointed to the $2,22 and $2,07 levels as important supports for Ripple's cryptocurrency. For the price to reach $3, it would need to break resistances at $2,33 and $2,46.
Meanwhile, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has rekindled investor optimism by announcing a new strategic move. The company has filed for a national banking charter with the OCC — a move that will allow state and federal oversight of its financial operations.
The move is seen as essential to ensuring that Ripple can hold reserves of the $RLUSD token directly with the Federal Reserve, increasing the security of its operations. Garlinghouse also mentioned the application for a Fed Master Account through Standard Custody, reinforcing the company’s commitment to a solid infrastructure.
The initiative comes amid ongoing discussions in the US Congress on regulatory frameworks for the sector. Ripple’s stance on prioritizing compliance is seen as strategic for increasing institutional investor confidence and could have a positive impact on the stablecoin market, currently valued at US$250 billion.

AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!
Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
