Crypto Analyst Says ‘XRP Is In Trouble,’ Here’s Why
Crypto analyst Alessio Rastani has warned that XRP is in “trouble” following his recent analysis of the chart. He outlined certain “strong warnings” on the chart, which showed that the crypto token could experience further price declines.
Why XRP Is In Trouble
Rastani mentioned in a video on his YouTube channel that XRP could drop to $0.13 or even lower as part of Wave C of his analysis using the Elliot Wave Theory. He noted that a drop to that price level represents about a 100% decline for XRP from Wave B and a similar corrective move to Wave A that occurred in 2020.

The crypto analyst also alluded to the the altcoin’s bounce in 2020, around the time the crypto token was declared a non-security. He claimed that the rally then overlapped, which suggested it was a corrective bounce. He noted that these corrective rallies are bearish in nature as they usually resolve to the downside.
Rastani claimed that an impulsive rally is required for XRP to continue its uptrend. That is why he believes that XRP can still drop lower since the corrective rally from 2022 is still in play. The analyst also highlighted the support levels at $0.41 and $0.35 as crucial, stating that a break below those levels will serve as confirmation for the downward move to $0.2 and $0.17. He added that XRP could even drop lower to $0.13.
Meanwhile, Rastani predicts that this move could take several months, stating that the crypto token could drop to these levels by year-end or sometime in 2025. He also said that the altcoin needs to stay below the resistance levels at $0.64 and $0.74, as a break above those levels will invalidate his projections.
Rastani also highlighted the momentum indicator on XRP’s chart, noting that there has been a lot of “downward negative momentum” for XRP recently, suggesting that a downward move will likely occur. He claimed that the downward momentum hasn’t been triggered yet, but he believes that it will soon happen, especially if the altcoin breaks below $0.35.
An Alternative Move For Price
Rastani also outlined an alternative move that XRP could make if his projections are invalidated, although he doubts that will happen. He claimed that if XRP manages to break above $0.64 and $0.74, that would mean that the rally in 2022 was Wave A, and the recent drop to around $0.40 was Wave B, thereby setting up XRP for a move to around $1.40 for Wave C.

The crypto analyst added that XRP could also retest the 2021 highs at around $2. However, he claimed that would mean that the next move is still downward, suggesting that the alternative move isn’t still bullish for XRP. He once again reaffirmed that the first scenario of XRP dropping to as low as $0.13 was likely to happen.

VanEck Expands DeFi Offerings with PYTH ETN on Euronext
Asset manager VanEck has launched a new ETN based on PYTH, specifically for European buyers. The Pyth network, a decentralized oracle protocol, has earned praise from VanEck for its potential to transform the DeFi landscape.
This launch follows several similar crypto-focused ventures by VanEck in recent months.
VanEck Launches PYTH ETN
According to a recent press release, asset manager VanEck is listing a new exchange-traded note (ETN) based on PYTH today. The Pyth network is a decentralized oracle protocol that uses PYTH as a network token. PYTH’s value has risen slightly since this announcement, bucking a decline this month, but there has not been a substantial price jump.
This new ETN is one of several recent crypto project investments by VanEck. Earlier in October, the firm launched a $30 million venture fund aimed at crypto startups and, just last week, partnered with Kiln to offer Solana staking.

VanEck publicly stated that Pyth’s technical potential inspired its latest ETN offering. Listed on Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam, the ETN is now available to investors. Although distinct from an ETF, it shares some similarities: its value is tied to PYTH, and VanEck secures the ETN’s underlying assets in cold storage.
“Smart contracts… are gaining increasing significance in the financial world… and oracle networks play a crucial role in enabling [their] real-world use. With our Pyth ETN, investors have the opportunity to participate in the development of… Pyth Network, which has the potential to become a crucial part of DeFi application infrastructure,” VanEck Europe CEO Martijn Rozemuller said.

However, it remains unclear whether “underlying assets” specifically refers to PYTH tokens. The ETN’s value is derived from the MarketVector Pyth Network VWAP Close Index, which in turn tracks PYTH’s value indirectly. This layered approach to value calculation may help explain why PYTH’s price has remained relatively stable since the announcement.
The press release also notes that the ETN is available across 15 European countries under the ticker VYPT, with a total expense ratio of 1.5%. VanEck cautions twice in its statement about the “risk of extreme volatility” associated with the product.

Swift, UBS, Chainlink Pilot Simplifies Tokenized Fund Transactions
In partnership with UBS Asset Management and Chainlink, Swift has completed a pilot program designed to streamline tokenized fund transactions through its established financial network.
Conducted as part of the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Project Guardian, this pilot demonstrates how financial institutions can leverage Swift’s existing infrastructure to manage off-chain cash settlements for tokenized assets.
Swift, Chanlink and UBS Aim to Streamline Fund Operations and Boost Efficiency
Swift, UBS Asset Management, and Chainlink have completed a pilot for settling tokenized fund subscriptions through the Swift network. The initiative addresses inefficiencies in the $63 trillion global mutual fund market by connecting 11,500 institutions to streamline manual processes and cut costly settlement delays that hinder liquidity.
“Chainlink is enabling institutions to reuse Swift’s infrastructure to facilitate payments for digital asset transactions. I am very excited by the upcoming adoption of these off-chain payment capabilities and how they will increase the flow of capital and expand the possible user base of digital assets,” Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov said.

Chainlink and Swift’s pilot bears real potential in demonstrating how financial institutions can streamline these processes in the future. It automates payment processing for tokenized investment funds without requiring a fully blockchain-based system. This approach makes transactions faster and more efficient.
The pilot builds on earlier work between UBS Asset Management and SBI Digital Markets. Their previous collaboration focused on developing a Digital Subscription and Redemption system for tokenized funds.
Using Swift’s established infrastructure, the pilot demonstrated how fund transactions could be settled efficiently by connecting traditional systems with blockchain. Upon meeting specific conditions, UBS’s tokenized investment funds automatically issued or canceled fund tokens for investors.
UBS rolled out a tokenized fund on the Ethereum blockchain on November 1. The “UBS USD Money Market Investment Fund Token,” known as “uMINT,” aims to meet growing demand for tokenized assets. Meanwhile, MAS highlighted its dedication to asset tokenization, drawing insights from 40 institutions and 15 pilot trials.
“Our collaboration with UBS Asset Management and Chainlink under MAS’ Project Guardian uses the Swift network to bridge digital assets with existing systems. This approach supports our goal of helping financial institutions securely transact across various digital asset classes and currencies,” Swift Head of Strategy Jonathan Ehrenfeld commented.

Why FET Recovery Could Be More Than 10% in November
Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) is one of the top gainers today, registering a 10% increase within the last 24 hours. This FET recovery contradicts its performance in October, when its price decreased by 13.39%.
Following this rebound, on-chain data shows that the altcoin could be working toward wiping out those losses. Here is how.
Artificial Superintelligence Alliance Sees Buying Pressure
Yesterday, FET’s price was $1.10. But as of this writing, the altcoin’s value has risen to $1.25. According to the 4-hour chart, FET’s price climbed this high due to rising buying pressure.
Notably, Bull Bear Power (BBP) has jumped to the positive region after remaining in the red area since November 1. The BBP shows whether the strength of buyers is greater than that of sellers.
When the reading is negative, bears have the upper hand. Therefore, in this instance, bulls are in control. As such, the altcoin’s value could continue to climb if this remains the same.
Read more: How to Invest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cryptocurrencies?
The Money Flow Index (MFI) is another indicator suggesting that the FET recovery could be swift. The MFI, which measures buying and selling pressure by analyzing price and volume data, has shown a positive trend for FET.
A rising MFI indicates increased buying pressure, which supports the likelihood of continued price growth as demand for the asset strengthens. Therefore, if bulls sustain this momentum, then the altcoin’s price might continue to rise.
FET Price Prediction: Token to Breach Resistance
Since the IOMAP indicates that there is only one significant resistance level for FET at $1.28, where 3,590 addresses hold 616.89 million tokens, it suggests that surpassing this level could open up further upside potential.
Notably, the IOMAP tool categorizes addresses by whether they are making a profit, breaking even, or incurring losses at the current price
This accumulation zone acts as a key psychological barrier. The volume of tokens accumulated here is notably higher than the amounts held between $1.06 and $1.25, signaling that if buyers manage to push the price beyond $1.28, FET could gain strong momentum.

Therefore, if buying pressure continues to increase, FET could rally all the way to $1.44. However, if bulls fail to breach the resistance, the altcoin price might pull back, and FET could drop to $1.10.
