The XRP Ledger Foundation has called on XRPL node operators and developers to urgently upgrade to rippled v3.0.0, which introduces several new but inactive amendments and core ledger fixes. Shiba Inu is trading near a downside liquidation area around $0.00777, while Solana has recorded a 40% surge in trading volume alongside a bullish golden cross pattern as its price recovers toward $132.9.

Shiba Inu's burn rate has sharply rebounded by 1,567% after a prior 62.96% decline, even as SHIB's price remains under pressure. Dogecoin is sliding back toward 2024 price levels and could fall to $0.1 or even $0.062 if selling persists. XRP's on-chain payment volume has dropped to near-zero, reflecting timing and liquidity dynamics rather than a structural network failure.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has outlined two potential downside zones for Bitcoin, signaling targets near $81,852 and $59,403 per BTC. Ripple completed a $500 million share sale at a $40 billion valuation, while Bitcoin and XRP gained Wall Street exposure via Bitwise’s 10 Crypto Index Fund listing on NYSE Arca. Shiba Inu saw a surge in whale transfers, a 1.06 trillion SHIB rise on exchanges and an eight-trillion-token outflow from centralized platforms, pointing to shifting volatility and positioning.

A long-time Bitcoin holder has expanded an Ethereum long to 120,094 ETH with a liquidation level at $2,234.69 while ETH trades near $3,193. Ripple scheduled its Swell conference for Oct. 27–29 in New York City, and Dogecoin's spot-exchange activity jumped 61% as its price moved between $0.131 and $0.156 ahead of a key Federal Reserve decision. Dogecoin recently climbed from $0.134 to $0.153 before easing back within its trading range.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has maintained his cautious outlook on Bitcoin, suggesting the recent rally may represent the final retest of a broadening top formation. He assigned a 30% probability that BTC already peaked this cycle. Brandt identified the $88,000–$92,000 range as critical support and noted a target zone below $70,000 if the pattern plays out.

XRP saw a 1,694,200% liquidation imbalance after a 1.43% price drop, with long positions accounting for nearly all losses, data show.
