Why Ripple’s Spending $4 Billion While Bitcoin is Bouncing Below $60K? Find Out!

by

Bitcoin at $103,758? Oh, that’s not consolidation, darling, that’s a slow-motion decline. What traders were calling “accumulation” last week? Gone, like a forgotten New Year’s resolution. Every time frame is looking more and more like a bad hangover, and support? Well, there’s nothing between here and $95,000, so get your parachutes ready. Peter Brandt-who’s been around longer than some of these altcoins-reckons there’s a 60% chance that the top is already behind us. But hey, what does he know? He’s only a legendary trader, right?

Meanwhile, Ripple and Saylor are out here doing their thing-one’s building, one’s buying, while everyone else watches their portfolios turn an alarming shade of red. XRP is still holding onto a market cap of $136.52 billion, but that’s starting to feel like the last slice of pizza at a party: it doesn’t really mean much when everything else is falling apart. Strategy Inc, though? They’re still doing the same old dance with Bitcoin, moving in sync with every price fluctuation.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read)

  • Ripple has spent over $4 billion on acquisitions this year.
  • Peter Brandt gives Bitcoin a 60% chance of having already peaked.
  • Strategy Inc. raising €350 million to buy more BTC. Yes, more Bitcoin!
  • Bitcoin at $103,758, XRP’s cap at $136.52 billion. Still hanging in there, but for how long?

Ripple’s $4 Billion Spending Spree: The 2025 Acquisitions

Ripple, the company that can’t stop, won’t stop. They’re spending like it’s 2025 already (because, you know, it is). So far, they’ve dropped over $4 billion on acquisitions this year. A casual flex, right?

Here’s the rundown of their 2025 shopping spree:

  • Hidden Road – $1.25 billion: This one’s a prime-broker platform that connects Ripple Prime to U.S. institutional liquidity. All the cool kids are doing it.
  • GTreasury – $1 billion: Corporate treasury software that bridges the traditional finance world with crypto settlements. Fancy!
  • Rail – $200 million: Stablecoin infrastructure for the RLUSD ecosystem. Because we all need more stablecoins, right?
  • Palisade – Undisclosed: Developer of MPC wallets and custody tools for fintechs. Oh, they’re just out here making wallets and security tools like it’s no big deal.

Ripple’s latest acquisition, Palisade, is all about multiparty key management, custody-level security, and API integrations that already support XRP, SOL, and ETH. In simple terms: Ripple’s got it all locked down. The plan? Oh, just the casual takeover of custody, settlement, and liquidity. Because, why not?

Bitcoin Below $60K? Peter Brandt Says 60% Chance

Peter Brandt-who’s been watching Bitcoin since before it had any ‘before’-says there’s a 60% chance Bitcoin has already hit its peak. The next support level? Somewhere in the low $60K range. Don’t shoot the messenger!

“Upper green band, so around low $60s. I hope you are right about not yet a high.”

Bitcoin’s failed to hold $110,000. Each bounce is dying faster than your enthusiasm for another Zoom call. The big wallets? They’re just sitting there, probably looking for the next exit strategy. This isn’t panic talk; this is Brandt doing what Brandt does best: analyzing markets for the last 50 years. When he says $60,000 is the next real area of interest, you better start listening.

Saylor Reloads €350 Million for BTC. Is He Out of His Mind?

Michael Saylor? He’s out here like, “What’s a bear market?” He’s filed with the SEC to issue 3.5 million Series A preferred shares at €100 each to raise €350 million. Guess what that’s going to fund? More Bitcoin, of course. Because if there’s one thing Saylor knows, it’s that low prices aren’t painful-they’re discounts. Hello, discount Bitcoin!

Strategy Inc. recently bought 397 BTC for $45.6 million, at an average price of $114,771. Now they’ve got a total of 641,205 BTC-worth roughly $69 billion, in case you were wondering. Strategy Inc’s stock, MSTR, is still moving in near-perfect harmony with Bitcoin. It’s like they’re dance partners at a crypto waltz.

.@saylor still believes that $BTC could hit $150K this year

Here’s the kicker: The fundraising opens up Strategy Inc to European investors who want to get in on Bitcoin without worrying about custody risks. As of now, no BTC has moved from Strategy’s wallets since October. The company is fully allocated. So, if this fundraising goes through, Saylor can snag about 3,000 more BTC. Because, why not?

Evening Outlook: Not Looking Good, But That’s the Crypto Game

The situation across the board? Not great. Major charts are all pointing south, liquidity is thinner than a diet soda, and optimism is slipping faster than your phone charger on a tiled floor. Here’s what we’re looking at:

  • Bitcoin: $100K and $98K are the next supports. If they break, get ready for $88K, and then Peter Brandt’s low $60K band.
  • XRP: Trading around $2.10, market cap $136.52 billion. It’s holding up better than most, but still sliding.
  • Strategy Inc (MSTR): Drop below $250, and we’ve got large-cap selling confirmed.
