Second Circuit Court of Appeals Issues Order in XRP Lawsuit
SEC v Ripple Case: The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issues the first order in the XRP lawsuit. The order came in response to the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s requests to the court to set January 15 next year as the deadline for its principal brief. This means the XRP community will not see any major developments in the lawsuit until the set date.
Court Sets Brief Filing Deadline in US SEC v Ripple Labs Lawsuit
In the last filing dated October 31, the appeals court has entered an order that the US SEC must file its opening brief regarding appeals in the SEC v Ripple Labs case by January 15, 2025.
As per a scheduling order filed last week, the US SEC requested the court to issue an order setting the initial brief filing date. Experts claimed the delay is likely due to an increase in Donald Trump’s win odds in the US presidential election, which increases SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s exit odds.
In addition, the court also said the appeals will be dismissed if the brief is not filed by the scheduled date. The court has also informed parties in SEC v Ripple that any motion to extend the date or seek other relief will not be granted.
Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen Seek To Dismiss Charges
Notably, the crypto community was in shock to see US SEC included securities law violation charges against Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen. The agency has appealed XRP sales by Ripple, Garlinghouse and Larsen, as well as XRP distribution to employees and others by the company.
Meanwhile, Ripple is questioning whether an “investment contract” must have a contract, post-sales obligations of a seller, and profit dependent on the seller’s activities. It also counter-appeals if district court’s rulings are erred and how years old Howey test applies to crypto. The company also revived the fair notice defense in the SEC v Ripple.
Both Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen hired the same lawyers who successfully obtained the dismissal of all claims for Garlinghouse in the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit in a district court. The lawyers include Cleary Gottlieb’s attorneys Nowell Bamberger, Rahul Mukhi, and Samuel Levander.
Judge Orders “Alternative Resolution” In re Ripple Labs Case
As reported first by CoinGape, Judge Phyllis Hamilton in the In re Ripple Labs Inc Litigation has ordered parties to consider an “alternative resolution.” Lead plaintiff Bradley Sostack and Ripple Labs, XRP II, and Brad Garlinghouse requested the court to issue a final judgment on plaintiff’s class action claims on securities law violations.
XRP price has dropped 1% over the last day, with the price currently trading at $0.51. The 24-hour low and high are $0.503 and $0.520, respectively. Whales continue to sell amid the developments in the SEC v Ripple case.
However, an analyst has predicted a $25 price target for XRP. The trading volume has increased by 40% in the last 24 hours, indicating a rise in interest among traders.

Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has revealed grim predictions for the Ethereum price, tipping the second-largest cryptocurrency to see new lows. Schiff says the broader selloff affecting Ethereum will worsen in the coming days and can push prices below $1,000
Peter Schiff Sees Ethereum Price Tumbling Below $1,000
As the market reels from the bloodbath over the weekend, Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff says darker days are coming for Ethereum. In a post on X, Schiff predicts that the Ethereum price will continue the steep correction that will see it fall under $1,000.
The Bitcoin critic is hinging his prediction on the recent jarring price drops faced by the largest altcoin in recent days. The latest correction sees ETH hold onto $1,500 after falling by 20% over the last day.
Ethereum price reached a daily low of $1,400 before gingerly picking its way above the $1,500 mark. Given the grim price action, Peter Schiff says it is only a matter of time till the Ethereum price falls under $1,000 with technicals and fundamentals painting a grim picture.
“Ether crashed below $1,500 for the first time in over two years,” said Schiff. “So far, the intraday low was just above $1,400, a 20% drop overnight. I don’t think it will be long before it breaks below $1,000.”
ETH remains stuck under $2,000 since it slipped below the psychological level back with on-chain indicators showing no signs of a resurgence.
Comparisons With Bitcoin And Gold Reveal Ethereum’s Dire Condition
While optimists may disagree with Schiff’s prediction, historical patterns point to a deeper decline in the Ethereum price. Peter Schiff argues that during the last market crash in mid-2022, Ethereum slipped below $1,000, noting that there is little evidence that the cryptocurrency will trade above the psychological level in the market downturn.
He adds that while the Ethereum price is weak in dollar terms, the asset is faring worse on ETH/BTC charts. A steady downtrend on the ETH/BTC chart confirms massive selling pressure for the Ethereum price, with gold being its “worst-looking chart.”
“It barely held $1,000 in June 2022,” said Schiff. “The chart is horrible, even worse priced in Bitcoin than dollars. Of course, its worst-looking chart is priced in gold.”
Despite the dour predictions, investors say Ethereum price can rally as high as $4,000 but will have to contend with whale selloffs and market risk-on sentiment.
Peter Schiff’s grim predictions extend to the top cryptocurrency with the economist tipping Bitcoin price to $10K. He went on to criticize claims of Bitcoin as digital gold, pointing to steep declines in the face of macroeconomic woes.

A Dogecoin whale has solidified investors’ bearishness this ‘black Monday’ by dumping 300 million coins to Binance. DOGE price has lost nearly 15% value in the past 24 hours, stooping to a $0.13 low in sync with broader trends. In response, crypto market traders and investors are now reflecting a highly cautious approach toward the meme coin’s future prospects.
Dogecoin Whale Dumps 300M Coins Sparking Investor Concerns
Data from the transaction tracker Whale Alert revealed that a Dogecoin whale deposited 300 million coins worth $41.77 million to Binance on April 7. This whale selloff has made traders and investors buckle up for additional price volatility ahead. Notably, the wallet address ‘DU8gPC5mh4KxWJARQRxoESFark2jAguBr5’ was recorded making the transactions.
For context, usual market sentiments remain bearish amid such transfers as they bring potential selling pressure and increase the exchange supply for an asset. These dynamics negatively impact a coin’s price, abiding by the law of supply and demand.
What Prompted The DOGE Whale Move?
Meanwhile, it’s noteworthy that the Dogecoin whale’s selloff may be to mitigate losses amid an ongoing crypto market crash. The broader sector faces a black Monday as Bitcoin, Ether, and leading alts lose alarming values due to broader trends.
Primarily as Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs kicked off, global markets and risk assets are facing heat in sync. As a result, even DOGE price is facing immense pressure, aligning with the whale dump mentioned above.
Will Dogecoin Price Face Further Heat?
The current market sentiment orbiting the renowned dog-themed meme coin is highly uncertain. Crypto market traders and investors are awaiting signs that show crypto prices have digested trade war tensions. Nevertheless, the current scenario remains highly bearish.
As mentioned above, DOGE price has lost nearly 15% intraday and is resting at $0.13. In the interim, renowned crypto market analyst Berke Oktay warned that further downside risk may await traders as the token lost vital support and fell below $0.17.
However, analyst Trader Tardigrade conversely revealed a bullish projection for the meme coin. Despite the price crash and massive Dogecoin whale dump, the analyst revealed that DOGE has formed its second RSI bullish divergence. This suggests momentum is improving even though the price is falling — often a sign that a trend reversal to the upside might be near.
As a result, crypto market investors continue to reflect an uncertain sentiment and await a prominent bullish or bearish takeover in the coming days. The chances of DOGE slipping below $0.1 remain relatively low at the moment, although market concerns persist due to broader trends.

Pi Network price has left investors puzzling over a steady decline that saw Pi Coin nearly sink to $0. 3. To prevent a repeat of the steep drop, the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto is making a case for a decentralized market stabilization mechanism for the Pi Network.
A Community-Driven Liquidity Pool For The Pi Network
The pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto theorized on X that a community-driven liquidity pool (CDLP) will provide a range of benefits for Pi Network. According to his post, CDLP will operate as a decentralized market stabilization mechanism focused on Pi Coin price performance.
The plan, leaning on the Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) buying strategy, will require participants to commit to purchasing a fixed amount of Pi monthly. Each user participating in the CDLP will have full control of the Pi coins in their wallets without the need for any intermediaries.
Per Nakamoto, users purchasing Pi coins each month will form a “massive” CDLP capable of preventing steep price drops. The CDLP achieves this by increasing Pi liquidity, reducing circulating supply while demand continues to increase.
“This pool increases market depth, cushions sharp price drops, and promotes a more stable price structure,” said Nakamoto.
Nakamoto says the CDLP is not a short-term strategy to prop up Pi Network as it advocates for long-term holding. In the short term, Dr Altcoin wants Pi Network to burn tokens as a near-term solution to falling prices.
The Entire Ecosystem To Benefit From CDLP
Apart from stabilizing the Pi Network price, the CDLP will have an impact on the broader ecosystem. First, Nakamoto says developers building projects will have a stable environment without the hassle of sharp price drops. The Pi Network has previously come under fire after PiDAOSwap launched NFTs on BSC over lengthy KYB delays
Furthermore, a stable price will be an incentive for businesses to accept Pi as a payment mechanism. Nakamoto says Pi holders will be rewarded by future decentralized applications (DApps) building on the network.
“This doesn’t just stabilize the price – it transforms Pi’s visibility, strengthens the community, and attracts more developers and real-world use cases,” said Nakamoto.
Nakamoto says the CDLP is viable and sustainable as it does not require whales to support the price. Nakamoto claims that a $10 monthly commitment to buy Pi will result in a “steady $100 million inflow” into PI that is user-controlled without third-party risks.
Centralized exchanges like Binance sidelining Pi in listing processes have affected community sentiments, triggering a bearish sentiment for Pi.
