Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted that U.S. spot XRP ETFs have posted 30 consecutive sessions of net inflows, with cumulative inflows crossing about $1 billion and total net assets reaching roughly $1.18 billion. This steady demand contrasts with sizable outflows from bitcoin and ether ETFs, while XRP's price trades lower over recent weeks, underscoring a notable gap between institutional flows and market performance.

XRP is trading under pressure near $1.89 even as Ripple advances licensing, banking and product initiatives across several regions.

ArcBlock's ABT token is trading around $0.28, more than 83% lower than a year ago, with price action remaining below the 50-day and 200-day SMAs and RSI near 33. Projections outline defensive consolidation in 2025, a possible move toward $0.45–$0.46 by 2026, and optimistic targets up to $2.49 in 2030 and $10.50 by 2050 if ecosystem adoption, interoperability demand and long-term execution materialize. Near-term support levels at $0.27 and $0.24 and resistance at $0.33 and $0.36 are seen as critical for traders monitoring ABT's path. Overall outcomes remain speculative and hinged on ArcBlock's ability to attract developers and sustain cross-chain infrastructure relevance.

SWFTCoin currently trades around $0.0048 after a long decline from its macro peak near $0.047, with a critical support zone identified at $0.0036 and a trigger level at $0.0083. Projections outline ranges for 2025, 2026, 2030 and 2050, with long-term scenarios tied to cross-chain swap demand and the role of SWFT Blockchain as a routing layer. The price framework spans from $0.0048 in conservative cases up to $0.2600 in optimistic 2050 targets, depending on adoption, integrations and broader market conditions.

At the same time, market data shared by trader Ted Pillows showed clustered bids between $88,000 and $90,000 on major exchanges, with lighter selling interest until roughly $93,500. This split view left traders debating whether macro policy shifts will drive another downturn or if strong order book support can cushion price dips.
