XRP’s technical indicators strongly suggest a massive rally soon with the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) on the weekly chart proving itself as solid support during recent market dips. Analysts are now suggesting that this could set the stage for an explosive breakout, lining up with Fibonacci projections of a poential 10X surge in 2025. Currently, XRP is consolidating between the Fib range of 0.888 and 1.0—or $2.25 to $3.30. This sideways movement could be a sign of building momentum. Traders note this to be of significance as past trends show that when XRP holds these levels, it often leads to a parabolic move. The question is—can XRP replicate past performance and push beyond its previous all-time highs? According to Fibonacci intersection analysis, XRP’s projected price targets and timelines are as follows: While XRP’s technical indicators are flashing signs of an upcoming breakout, fundamental factors could further fuel price momentum. Related: XRP Tops Crypto Poll for Best Tech as SEC Review & Bullish Charts Fuel Price Target Talk Investors will be keeping a close watch on the SEC’s closed meeting on February 20. Word is, discussions on ongoing SEC vs. crypto cases, including Ripple’s case, are on the agenda. The SEC has stayed in the news ever since Mark T. Uyeda became the acting chairman. And, rumors swirl that the regulator might back down from its appeal against Ripple. Notably, the lack of any fraud charges in Ripple’s case really weakens the regulator’s position, making an early settlement more likely. Related: XRP Braces for SEC Meeting—Policy Shift, Appeal Fate & Price Reaction in the Balance A positive outcome, like the SEC dropping the appeal or clearly signaling regulatory clarity, could inject bullish energy into XRP. This could, in turn, speed up XRP’s journey toward its projected price targets and boost investor confidence in its long-term potential. The potential for a multi-fold increase on XRP price now depends on market sentiment, legal clarity, and further institutional adoption.

Russian national Alexander Vinnik, previously convicted for running a multi-billion-dollar money-laundering operation through his BTC-e crypto exchange, has been released in a prisoner exchange between Russia and the United States. In return, Moscow freed American schoolteacher Marc Fogel, who had been detained on drug charges. Vinnik’s Role in BTC-e and Legal Troubles Vinnik operated the BTC-e platform from 2011 to 2017 when he was arrested by police in Greece at the request of American law enforcement agencies. According to the U.S. Justice Department, the exchange processed transactions worth more than $9 billion across six years, much of which was allegedly tied to crimes such as ransomware attacks, drug trafficking, and identity theft. Authorities claim that BTC-e’s lack of anti-money laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) policies made it attractive to cybercriminals. Vinnik was extradited to France in 2020 and sentenced to five years for money laundering. He was later sent back to Greece before finally being handed over to the Americans in 2022. In May 2024, the Russian pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering and faced up to 20 years in prison. During his trial, prosecutors accused Vinnik of facilitating over $120 million in losses and described BTC-e as a “significant cybercrime and online money laundering entity.” Millions of dollars worth of assets belonging to the platform were seized, including $90 million that authorities bagged in New Zealand. Additionally, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed a $120 million fine on the exchange, with Vinnik personally facing a $12 million penalty. A Long-Running Extradition Battle Before his transfer to the U.S., the 45-year-old had been at the center of an international legal battle involving France, Russia, and the United States. While Russia sought his extradition on lesser fraud charges amounting to just $11,000, France and the U.S. pursued him for broader financial crimes. In 2023, his lawyers tried to include him in a U.S.-Russia prisoner swap involving journalist Evan Gershkovich, but it was unsuccessful. His exchange for Fogel, an American teacher detained in Russia, marks a rare moment of cooperation between the two countries, especially coming against the backdrop of the ongoing Ukraine war. Vinnik will have to forfeit tens of millions of dollars in assets as part of the deal. The post BTC-e Operator Released in US-Russia Prisoner Swap appeared first on CryptoPotato.
