We’re Not Enemies Anymore, Commissioner Hester Peirce Says
A new era of cryptocurrency regulations is about to be unveiled as a commissioner of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) confirmed that the agency would move in the opposite direction of its strict oversight policies.
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said that the regulatory body under the Trump administration would take a more pro-crypto approach to digital assets, a shift from the previous enforcement actions taken against cryptocurrency players.
More Structured Policies
In a Bloomberg Crypto TV interview, Peirce said that the regulatory body would be stepping away from an enforcement-centered approach to oversee the country’s cryptocurrency sector, adding that the focus now of the agency is to establish clear guidelines governing crypto tokens.

The SEC commissioner admitted in a statement that previously, the state regulator has been dependent on enforcement actions to regulate the digital assets industry, noting that the approach veered away from the policy making function of the SEC.
She noted that the SEC under Trump’s leadership would aim to craft a more structured crypto regulation framework than taking enforcement actions.
“During the past several years, enforcement cases have been used as a way to make regulatory policy; that is very atypical. We’re trying to get back to a path where we’re really using our other tools to make policy,” Peirce said.
No More Crypto War?
Peirce confirmed that the government has ended its so-called war against cryptocurrencies.
“We have been using enforcement cases to set regulatory policy. We’re trying to shift from that so we actually set policy and then we bring enforcement cases as needed,” the SEC Commissioner said in an interview.
She said that the SEC has an ongoing review on which state agency has jurisdiction over cryptos and identifies the regulatory gaps that the US Congress should address.
For several years, there has been an ongoing debate on whether regulating cryptocurrencies is a function of the SEC or should it be the responsibility of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC):
“We’re working on looking at our jurisdiction that we currently have and saying what falls inside that jurisdiction and what falls outside that jurisdiction, then we can point out to Congress where we think there are gaps where maybe something is not covered by our jurisdiction,” she explained.
Crypto Task Force
Reports said that Peirce would be leading a crypto task force under the stewardship of the SEC, adding that the task force’s output would be a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
According to analysts, the SEC task force will evaluate which cryptocurrencies should be classified as securities and assess the agency’s jurisdiction in the digital assets market.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump inked an executive order that will establish an advisory panel on cryptocurrency regulations. Trump is also considering the creation of a national crypto stockpile.
Peirce is a known supporter of the Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and has been against enforcement actions taken by the SEC against digital asset firms.

Several theories are touting Cardano price to clinch $10 but critics are tagging the projections as outlandish. However, one cryptocurrency analyst has picked up the gauntlet to rationalize the claims of ADA reaching $10 during this cycle, citing a slew of factors.
Cardano Price To $10 Is In Play
Cryptocurrency analyst Dan Gambardello has reiterated claims that Cardano price is headed to $10 in this cycle. According to his analysis, Gambardello poked a hole through the barrage of criticisms leveled against ADA optimists backing the asset to reach $10.
Gambardello began his analysis with key ADA fundamentals, citing its speed, decentralization, scalability, and security standards. He points to incoming Bitcoin DeFi and the potential unlocking $2 trillion opportunity for Cardano. The recent Cardano Lace Wallet retrofitted with multichain functionality specifically for the Bitcoin blockchain underscores the point.
The analyst turns his gaze to the impending end of quantitative tightening and the start of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve and its potential for cryptocurrencies. According to Gambardello, the move signals a major “bullish catalyst” for ADA given the uptick of liquidity flooding the market.
Gambardello bolsters his argument with ADA’s inclusion in the Digital Asset Stockpile as proof of Cardano’s price climbing to $10.
ADA Trading at $10 Is Not A Crazy Idea
At the moment, ADA is trading at $0,70, a far cry from the projected $10. However, Gambardello argues that the Cardano price can clinch reach $10 given its positives.
“A $10, $350 billion market cap sounds crazy to a lot of people, I understand,” said Gambardello. “But I will not ignore the possibility of it just because it sounds crazy.@
The analyst goes on to cite Cardano’s run to reach an all-time high, surging from $0.3 to $3.09 back in 2021. Gambardello says that at the time Cardano price climbed by nearly 1,000% without smart contracts or an inclusion into the Digital Asset Stockpile.
A move toward $10 represents a 1,300% jump for ADA which Gambardello says is within reach given Ethereum’s price action during the last bull run. While Gambardello did not give a clear timeline, he disclosed that multiple ADA retracements are a real possibility before the final march to $10.

After weeks of sideways trading, cryptocurrency analysts are tapping Solana to embark on a meteoric rally in the coming days. Short-term Solana price predictions point to a climb to $150, followed by a spirited push above the $1,000 mark.
Solana Price Has Established A Foundational Base For $1,000
Pseudonymous analyst CryptoCurb is predicting a strong rally for Solana’s price, tapping the asset to surpass $1,000. According to a post on X, CryptoCurb says the push towards $1,000 will happen before the end of the year
Per CryptoCurb, several factors are in play for the rally toward $1,000 including the setting of a “parabolic base” to make the leap. Solana price has spent weeks consolidating around the $120 mark with CryptoCurb interpreting it as a ramp to clinch $1,000.
“Solana consolidating and establishing a foundational base of $120 this past year is the most bullish thing SOL could have done for hopes of tighter targets this cycle,” said CryptoCurb.
While CryptoCurb’s analysis eyes the end of the year, short-term projections predict that the Solana price is headed to $150. The prediction hinges on Bitcoin price swinging upward, a move that could see SOL rally in the coming days.
“We will definitely retest the $120-$123 range before doing a big push upwards imo,” said one analyst.
A Slew Of Positive Onchain Metrics
Solana’s ecosystem is buzzing with optimism, fuelling speculation of a potential rally in the coming weeks. For starters, network adoption has soared to new rights with SOL addresses reaching 11 million.
A barrage of SOL ETFs underscores growing institutional interest in the network, a precursor for huge price leaps for the asset. Furthermore, the Solana price received a small jolt following the bridging of $314 million from the Ethereum network.
The network is moving on from its ad backlash to strike new ecosystem partnerships. A collaboration to integrate TRX on Solana is considered a massive play in the push to a seismic rally.
In view of on-chain and ecosystem activity, dour reports of SOL price below $100 seem far-fetched as traders scan the horizon for early glimpses of a rally.

XRP, the digital currency associated with Ripple Labs Inc., is considered one of the coins with big price prospects in this current Donald Trump administration. As the third largest asset by market capitalization, XRP was changing hands for $2.371, down marginally by 0.61% in 24 hours. Despite the mild bearish outlook, there is reason to stay optimistic about long-term growth.
Since President Trump’s election victory, XRP has seen an impressive growth trend. The Republican win paved the way for crypto innovation in the country, forming a major headwind for the coin. In the long term, less regulatory oversight can help the Ripple ecosystem thrive, with an upside for the coin.
XRP and the Strategic Reserve Advantage
The liberation of XRP over the past month is considered a start. However, with this administration’s pro-crypto tilt, analysts are divided on how high the coin could soar by 2028 when President Trump will be at the end of his current tenure.
In an earlier XRP price prediction, analysts issued a target of $150 for the coin. While this forecast is not conservative, the prospect of XRP’s inclusion in strategic crypto reserve in the US offers more optimistic projections. As reported earlier by CoinGape, market analyst Crypto Pal believes XRP could jump to a $10,000 to $35,000 range if added to the reserve.
Beyond the growing speculation of XRP’s inclusion in the reserve, a major challenge lies ahead. Most Bitcoin proponents believe altcoins in the stockpile might produce the opposite effect. However, if the coin bypasses this hurdle, the price has a huge prospect for a breakout.
XRP Utility Amid SWIFT and US Bank Integration
The Ripple Labs ecosystem is advancing rapidly, fueling the integration of some of its associated products in mainstream finance. As a blockchain payments firm, Ripple Labs always looks for top players to partner with. This has birthed speculations around a potential SWIFT partnership.
If this happens, the upside for the XRP price is enormous, with analysts suggesting a likely rally to $1,000. The coin and other Ripple products may come without much hurdle for SWIFT to integrate. The end of the Ripple and SEC lawsuit has cleared the path for the firm to grow its business in the United States.
Over the past few years, digital currency has been key in powering some global banks’ cross-border settlement systems. According to SBI CEO Yoshitaka Kitao, XRP is already on track to revamp Japanese banks’ remittance businesses.
The current regulatory outlook is expected to pave the way for US Banks to adopt XRP in the long term. Recall that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has given the green light to banks to engage in crypto-related activities. This can help Ripple rebuild the payment partnerships it lost due to the SEC lawsuit.
Besides this outlook, President Trump’s trade policies, though worrisome at the moment, might indirectly favor American-first crypto innovations. With US Debt financing plans with crypto, the bull case for XRP is further solidified.
XRP Price Prediction for 2028
Different analysts forecast XRP using different models. However, CoinGape consulted DeepSeek AI on the coin’s price by 2028.
The AI model identified conservative, moderate, and bullish scenarios for the XRP price target. Under the conservative estimate, DeepSeek sees XRP trading around $10 to $20. This forecast hinges on the prospect of gradual adoption in the ecosystem.
The moderate estimate projects the coin to soar from $50 to $100 in the long term due to potential SWIFT and US partnerships. In the bull case scenario, the AI model sees the XRP price trading from $150 to $200 if it becomes integrated into crypto reserves.
Is XRP Price Breakout Ahead?
Many advocates believe XRP has faced suppression in the past four years owing to the Ripple lawsuit. However, President Trump’s renewed focus on encouraging crypto innovation has renewed the hope for cryptocurrency.
Macroeconomic trends, including potential rate cuts, create a headwind for the coin. This positive outlook shows Ripple may play a key role in redefining global finance by 2028, a trend that will profit XRP.
