XRP Whale Moves 50M Coins Amid FIT21’s Relief To Ripple Community
In the wake of the U.S. House of Representatives voting on the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), an XRP whale has offloaded massive amounts of tokens to CEXs, nabbing attention globally. Transacting amid the United States clearance of the first-ever major crypto bill, this whale has sent tongues wagging across the broader crypto market.
Meanwhile, pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan has pointed out that per Judge Torres’ influence on FIT21, the crypto bill states that certain digital assets sold under an investment contract do not necessarily classify the asset as a security solely because it’s being sold or transferred within that investment contract. This development potentially comes as a game-changer for the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit, while the whale activity amid this has further echoed a speculative buzz across the crypto horizon.
XRP Whale Shifts 50.78M XRP Sparking Inferences
Notably, according to the data revealed by the on-chain transaction tracker Whale Alert, a renowned XRP whale was recorded dumping 50.78 million XRP in a couple of transactions to CEXs Bitstamp and Bitso again.
The first transaction illustrated 29.14 million XRP transferred to Bitstamp, a Luxembourg City-based CEX. Whereas, the second transaction illustrated 21.64 million XRP was shifted to Bitso, a Mexico City-based CEX. Both transactions were done using the same wallet address, ..Rzn.
Interestingly, the whale’s unexpected decision to offload XRP, in stark contrast to the positive news for Ripple, has added a layer of intrigue to these transactions. It’s worth noting that the whale in question initiated such transactions promptly after Ripple collaborated with these exchanges, sparking further speculation.

XRP Price Tumbles
As of writing, the XRP token’s price illustrated a 24-hour trading session in both red and green territories. The token’s price rested at $0.528, with a 0.96% dip over the past day. Further, the 24-hour trading volume plunged 37.07% to $1.12 billion, adding a bearish tint to the token.
This slipping price action potentially coincides with the increased selling pressure the token encountered with the abovementioned selloff. Further, the Futures and Options OI dipped 1.18% to $620.54 million, followed by a derivatives volume decrease of 40.73% to
$866.15 million, adding to bearish sentiments among investors.
However, the RSI stood at 51, signaling that the asset is taking a neutral market stance. This potentially allows bulls or bears to take control of the token in the future, although FIT21-birthed optimism for XRP prevails.

Developer Advocates For Pi Network Community To Launch Liquidity Pool To Stablilize Pi Coin Price
Amid frantic calls for a masterstroke for Pi Network price stability, one developer is picking up the gauntlet to launch a decentralized solution. The plan, a community-driven liquidity pool (CDLP), has received widespread support from the Pi Network community, stoking belief for an imminent launch.
Developer Urges Pi Network Community To Proceed With Community-Driven Liquidity Pool (CDLP)
The pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto has confirmed plans to proceed with the launch of a CDLP for Pi Network. According to an X post, the developer disclosed that the launch plans come on the heels of overwhelming community support for the initiative after a poll.
The CDLP, a decentralized price stabilization mechanism, involves Pi Network community members purchasing a fixed amount of Pi coins each month. Using the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy, the steady purchases will create a decentralized liquidity pool with Pi coins controlled solely by investors.
Nakamoto shared a poll to gauge community opinion on the initiative on X, with 69% of votes supporting the idea. Going forward, the developer plans for the CDLP are underway, a valiant attempt to prevent steep price drops.
“Based on the results of the previous vote, we are officially establishing the CDLP community framework,” said Nakamoto.
He adds that the next phase will be the appointment of moderators for the CDLP from the Pi network community. While details for the framework are sparse, Nakamoto notes that the CDLP’s operation will follow the core principles of stabilizing the Pi price.
What Is The End Goal For The CDLP?
While the primary purpose of the CDLP is to stabilize the Pi coin price from sharp drops, Nakamoto says the initiative will have a far-reaching impact. He adds that a stable Pi price will provide a conducive atmosphere for developers to thrive.
Furthermore, businesses will be incentivized to accept Pi as a payment method, broadening its reach beyond Southeast Asia. In his submission, long-term Pi holders will receive rewards from Pi ecosystem projects and decentralized applications (DApps).
“As the community grows, Pi will become an increasingly adopted medium of payments and transactions,” added Nakamoto.
Community members like Dr Altcoin have called on the PiCoreTeam (PCT) to take decisive action to stabilize Pi Coin. Furthermore, Dr Altcoin suggests burning Pi tokens locked up in foundation wallets.
After a steep decline that saw the price lose 19% over the last week, the Pi price is recovering with optimists eyeing a rally beyond $3. Pi Network price currently hovers around $0.5 but the broader crypto market selloff threatens its recovery.

In a major XRP news, crypto firm Ripple has announced plans to acquire prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion. The XRP price surged on the back of this announcement, with the deal one of the largest in the crypto industry.
XRP News: Ripple To Acquire Hidden Road For $1.25 Billion
In a press release, Ripple announced that it will acquire Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, one of the largest deals in crypto history. The firm noted that with this acquisition, it will become the first crypto company to own and operate a global, multi-asset prime broker.
Hidden Road is a fast-growing prime broker offering institutions a one-stop shop of services, including clearing, prime brokerage, and financing across foreign exchange (FX), digital assets, derivatives, swaps, and fixed income. Meanwhile, this news comes just as the first XRP ETF went live in the US.
Furthermore, the crypto firm noted it is important that there are core infrastructure in place for institutional adoption for the industry to achieve the next phase of growth. This is where prime brokers come in as they bring the necessary credibility and professional trading services in legacy finance to the digital assets space.
As such, Ripple, alongside Hidden Road, plans to bring the promise of digital assets to institutional customers at scale, bridging traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi). Although not mentioned in the release, Fortune reported that the crypto firm will settle this acquisition primarily in cash, XRP tokens, and company stocks.
Commenting on the proposed acquisition, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said,
We are at an inflection point for the next phase of digital asset adoption – the US market is effectively open for the first time due to the regulatory overhang of the former SEC coming to an end, and the market is maturing to address the needs of traditional finance. With these tailwinds, we are continuing to pursue opportunities to massively transform the space, leveraging our unique position and strengths of XRP to accelerate our business and enhance our current solutions and technology.”

Despite the broader crypto market correction, Curve Finance’s Curve DAO Token (CRV) is up 10% with a strong 27% pump in daily trading volumes. This happens despite the fact that Michael Egorov has offloaded nearly $2 million in CRV tokens over the past two weeks. This is because the leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol witnessed a record Q1, with $35 billion in trading activity, despite a sluggish market.
Curve Finance Price Is Up 10%, $3 Rally Coming?
After the crypto market crash on Black Monday, the Curve DAO (CRV) price bounced back over 10%, currently trading at $0.45 with its daily trading volume surging 27% to $240 million. As per the Coinglass data, the CRV futures open interest is up 6% to more than $107 million, showing strong bullish sentiment among traders.
Prominent market analyst The Mental Trader has reiterated his bullish outlook on Curve (CRV), forecasting a rise to $3+ based on Elliott Wave (EW) theory. Despite recent price fluctuations, the analyst maintains that CRV remains in the “third of the third” mega wave upwards while hinting at a potential long-term upside.
The trader shows that the recent Curve Finance price action is a second minor wave within the sub-third wave, and a breakout above $0.60 would confirm a bullish trajectory ahead.
The swing low at $0.34 is highlighted as a critical level; a breach would necessitate a full revision of the EW count. Thus, traders should keep a close eye on CRV’s price action as it approaches pivotal resistance levels.
Founder Michael Egorov on CRV Selling Spree
Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov has resumed offloading CRV tokens amid a market rebound. On his latest sale, Egorov offloaded 236,457 CRV tokens valued at approximately $108,000.
Egorov has sold a cumulative 3.083 million CRV tokens since March 24, amounting to $1.62 million. The tokens were sold at an average price of $0.527, strategically executed near local price peaks as reported by Spot On Chain.
Surge In User Activity for Q1
The leading decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Curve Finance has witnessed a major surge in user activity during the first quarter of the year. During this period, the Curve platform clocked a massive $35 billion in trading volumes, up by 13% in comparison to the previous year.
As per the data from DeFiLama, the platform’s total transactions surged from around 1.8 million to 5.5 million in the first three months. This has been one of the major reasons behind the DEX’s surge in trading volumes.
