XRP Institutional Sales Discounts, Agreement to Sell, & Other Key Details Sealed
On Monday, May 13, blockchain startup Ripple, filed a motion to seal specific documents related to the U.S. SEC’s motion for remedies and judgment. Ripple aims to redact certain portions of the Remedies Motion briefing and seal highly sensitive and confidential exhibits. The company emphasized that its sealing requests are limited and justified, aimed at safeguarding confidential business data and legitimate privacy interests.
Ripple Requests to Seal Remedies Material
In its filing, Ripple stated that its Remedies Materials consist of confidential information such as its audited financial statement and documents, and other information regarding its ongoing business relationships.
Thus, it added that the redactions only pertain to information that is highly sensitive, which if disclosed could cause harm to Ripple. It adds that the information that Ripple has proposed to redact would have a minimum bearing on the Court’s resolution of the motion for Judgement and Remedies.
While the SEC has contended to agree to some of Ripple’s requests, the regulator has opposed a few. In its filing to the court, Ripple said that the SEC hasn’t opposed Ripple’s request to seal. The blockchain firm believes that the court should grant its request for the same reasons it sought the sealing and redactions in the Summary Judgment.
In a recent statement, Ripple’s Chief Financial Officer, Jonathan Bilich, emphasized the company’s commitment to safeguarding its sensitive and proprietary business information. Bilich highlighted that Ripple, being a private entity, dedicates substantial efforts to maintain the confidentiality of its data.
“I attest that the information Ripple seeks to redact is highly sensitive and confidential business and proprietary information. Its disclosure to the public would be detrimental to Ripple’s business relationships with customers and other counterparties and harm Ripple’s standing in the competitive marketplace,” stated Bilich.

Top Neiro Ethereum Holder Dumps $3M NEIRO Sparking Price Dip Concerns
One of the top Neiro Ethereum holders has surprisingly sparked bearish sentiments amid a bull market, heavily dumping the dog-themed meme token. Recent on-chain data pointed out that the 2nd largest holder of the token, Wintermute, took action to dump $3M worth of coins. This dump has raised substantial investor concerns, further solidified by the coin’s waning price movement amid a broader bull market.
Top Neiro Ethereum Holder Offloads Over 100M Coins
According to data by Arkham Intelligence, Wintermute deposited 35 million Neiro Ethereum tokens worth $3.08 million to Bybit over the past three days. Notably, the market maker remains the 2nd largest holder of the crypto, holding 10.9% of the total supply worth 108.95 million tokens.
Besides, it’s noteworthy that the same market maker totally withdrew 121.466M of the same token from Bybit before the abovementioned selloff to become the 2nd largest holder of this Shiba Inu dog breed-themed crypto. Nevertheless, despite the selloff weighing in, Wintermute is still the 2nd largest holder of the asset.
In light of this dynamic, market participants remain apprehensive as future selloffs by the top holder could negatively influence the renowned meme coin’s price movements. Meanwhile, despite a bullish sentiment over top meme coins, as witnessed by Dogecoin, Pepe coin, Bonk, and other tokens’ phenomenal gains, the Neiro Ethereum selloff has solidified market concerns.
Token Price Remains Volatile
At the time of reporting, NEIRO price traded near the flatline over the past 24 hours to rest at $0.079. The coin’s intraday low and high were $0.0753 and $0.08385, respectively. Notably, the weekly chart for the crypto showcased a 10% dip. This waning action has sparked severe market concerns in the wake of the abovementioned selloff.
However, a recent CoinGape Media report revealed that Neiro Ethereum has partnered with the market maker DWF Labs, adding investor intrigue on future price movements. Notably, another massive holder of the crypto is GSR Markets, a renowned market maker, holding 33.52 million tokens. Wintermute and GSR collectively hold 142.47 million tokens worth 14.25% of the total supply.

Hidden Bullish Divergence Appears On Dogecoin Price Chart, Here’s What To Expect Next
A hidden Bullish Divergence pattern has just been identified on the Dogecoin price chart, signaling possibilities of a significant uptrend. With this new technical pattern, a crypto analyst has projected a target of $0.7 for the Dogecoin price.
Bullish Divergence Hint At Dogecoin Price Surge
On November 20, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade on X (formerly Twitter) announced the appearance of a hidden bullish divergence on the Dogecoin 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) chart. Based on this unique technical indicator, the analyst’s Dogecoin price analysis suggests that the meme coin may be gearing up for a significant rally to the upside.
Typically, an RSI hidden bullish divergence occurs when the price of a cryptocurrency forms higher lows while its RSI forms lower lows. This indicates that despite Dogecoin’s RSI showcasing declining momentum, its price is still maintaining strength, suggesting a higher potential for an uptrend continuation.
Recently, the Dogecoin price has been on a major bullish run, as it skyrocketed from above $0.1 to over $0.35 in just a few weeks. This impressive rally has allowed the popular meme coin to test the $0.4 resistance level, a critical threshold that could trigger a significant rally for the Dogecoin price.
Based on Trader Tardigrade’s Dogecoin chart, the RSI Hidden Bullish Divergence can be seen forming at around the $0.37 price level. The analyst has set a bullish target at $0.7 for Dogecoin, highlighting a steady but continuous growth from its current price if it can maintain positive momentum.
As of writing, the price of Dogecoin is trading at $0.38, marking a 165.19% surge over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap. Despite repeatedly failing to break the $0.4 threshold, Dogecoin could see an 84.2% price increase from its current value if the projected positive growth driven by the Hidden Bullish Divergence holds valid. This would effectively push the meme coin close to or even above it’s All-Time High (ATH) of $0.73 in May 2021 during the last bull market.
DOGE Targets New ATH
In another X post, crypto analyst, Steph, has maintained an optimistic outlook on the Dogecoin price. According to Steph, Dogecoin could be gearing up for a new ATH this bull cycle.
The analyst shared a 2-year Dogecoin price chart, pinpointing a bullish target between $1.4 and $1.8 for the meme coin. Following the target’s position on the Dogecoin chart, the analyst suggests that this ATH rally could either take place before the end of 2024 or in 2025.
Based on current market trends, this massive price surge to a new ATH could be potentially driven by Elon Musk’s influence through his newly proposed organization, the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E). Additionally, Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration as the 47th United States (US) President could also serve as a strong catalyst that could propel the Dogecoin price higher.

XRP Price Rally to $2 As Paul Atkins Leads to Replace US SEC Chair Gary Gensler
XRP price shot up 26% in hours as the US SEC Chair Gary Gensler announced his resignation. Ripple’s native token XRP hit a high of $1.43, the levels last seen during the 2021 bull run. Crypto market analyst predicts the continuation of the rally all the way to $2 following a bullish pattern breakout. The news of pro-crypto Paul Atkins replacing Gensler as SEC Chair could fuel the XRP rally further.
XRP Price Rally to $2 Coming?
Following the resignation announcement by SEC Chair Gary Gensler, the XRP bulls have charged in leading to another 26% price rally. Gensler’s last day at the office will be January 20, 2025, the same day when President-elect Donald Trump takes charge at the White House. It is clear that the XRP community sees Gensler’s resignation as positive, following the tough four-year legal battle in the Ripple lawsuit.
Crypto market analyst Ali Martinez believes that this rally will continue to $2. Martinez suggested that Gensler leaving the SEC would mark a significant turning point for Ripple, potentially easing regulatory pressures on the company.
“Gary Gensler leaving the SEC is the best thing that could happen to Ripple,” Martinez stated. He further added that XRP price could now set its sights on a $2 target, amid the fresh breakout from the flag-and-pole pattern.
Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto highlighted that XRP’s monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) is on the verge of entering overbought territory for the first time in three years. “XRP/ETH just reclaimed and retested a 4 year long range, with the first target being ~250% higher,” he added.
Paul Atkins to Replace US SEC Chair Gary Gensler?
As Gary Gensler puts his resignation, the biggest question in everyone’s mind is whom will Donald Trump appoint as the next SEC Chair? Fox Business reported that former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins is the front-runner to succeed Gary Gensler.
Paul Atkins is popular for his free-market regulatory approach and pro-crypto stance. He has also garnered strong support from the business community and the digital asset industry. His appointment could also open the gates for the spot XRP ETF by 2025.
21Shares, Canary Capital, and Bitwise have already filed with the US SEC for the XRP ETF in the last two months. The arrival of this investment product could fuel institutional interest in XRP.
Gary Gensler’s decision not to complete his term at the SEC has been met with widespread approval from the business sector, which has been critical of his regulatory approach. The narrative towards the end of Ripple vs SEC lawsuit now looked more obvious.
As of press time, the XRP price is trading 26% up at $1.40 with a market cap of $80 billion. As per the Coinglass data, the open interest in XRP has shot up 35% to $2.47 billion. In the last 24 hours, $25.64 million worth of XRP positions were liquidated with $14 million in short liquidations and $11.62 million in long liquidations.
