Recent moves shaking up the crypto landscape:

Ripple's 2026 roadmap is fueling speculation about a potential token event—worth keeping eyes on for what could come next. Meanwhile, Cardano's creator weighed in on the SOL vs ETH debate, suggesting Solana might have the momentum this cycle, but Ethereum could emerge stronger over the longer horizon.

On the regulatory front, Alameda Research's former CEO Caroline Ellison is facing imminent release from prison, marking another chapter in the FTX saga that's been closely watched by the community.

Security concerns hit home too: Trust Wallet users reported unauthorized access incidents, reminding everyone why cold storage and hardware wallets remain non-negotiable for serious holdings.

Beyond crypto, traditional safe havens aren't sitting still either—gold and silver just hit fresh all-time highs, reflecting broader market uncertainties and renewed appetite for hard assets.

Ripple is up to something again. The 2026 roadmap feels like another wave of market expectations, but this is the true source of happiness in the crypto world.

What kind of tricks is XRP up to now? I really don't understand the 2026 roadmap... Solana is indeed fierce this time, but don't forget the fundamentals of ETH are still there. Long-term, we still need to watch Ethereum. Is Caroline out of prison? When will the FTX mess be over... Cold wallets are not a luxury item. The users of Trust Wallet should remember this lesson. Gold and silver are rising so rapidly that I'm a bit panicked. Good assets are all fleeing...

Listen up, Ripple is up to something again. The 2026 roadmap clearly teases people, but I don't think the official announcement will be a big deal. The real question is, when can we finally shake off the SEC's shadow? Sol definitely leads this round, but claiming Ethereum is stronger in the long run? Uh... why didn't Cristiano Ronaldo say that while he was alive? It's the same old story; it all depends on the ecosystem's development. Trust Wallet is really impressive. Still storing serious assets in hot wallets? Don't hot wallets feel better? In our circle, that's a textbook example of what not to do.

Look, Ripple is up to something again. We have to wait until 2026. They're already starting to stir the pot... This wave of SOL is indeed a bit fierce, but Ethereum is still the same Ethereum. In the long run, no one can stop it. The Trust Wallet issue is scary. I have to advise my friends around me to hurry up and get a hardware wallet.

Can XRP rise this time? It feels like Ripple has been holding back a big move.

Based on on-chain data from Ripple governance proposals, the Token economics design behind the 2026 roadmap is worth in-depth analysis... Hmm, no, I need to calm down first. Why is everyone betting on SOL this time? From the perspective of incentive incompatibility, short-term momentum is indeed tempting, but in the long run, ETH's narrative moat remains stronger. That incident with Trust Wallet really sounded the alarm—I've got to remind myself again about the importance of cold wallets, a little self-PUA... As for Caroline Ellison's release from prison, it depends on her subsequent holdings movements; on-chain data will tell the story.
