XRP Primed for Next Bull Rally as Regulatory Clarity Emerges

XRP is once again making headlines after a top crypto research firm issued a bold forecast, declaring it “the fastest horse” on the next bull market rally. The statement has reignited enthusiasm across the XRP community, with many investors and traders agreeing despite the token’s history of volatility and past declines. Sistine Research, a market analysis platform, has shared its outlook on X social media, stating XRP is the best-looking major digital asset in the current market cycle. The firm described XRP as the fastest mover following recent government developments that are expected to reshape the interaction between digital assets and traditional finance.

Sistine Research believes that several upcoming events could heavily favour XRP in the long run. Among them are a potential banking charter approval for Ripple, the introduction of the CLARITY Act, and the possibility of XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The research firm has revealed that these key developments would give Ripple a stronger foothold in global finance and expand XRP’s use case in payments and banking. In a subsequent post, Sistine Research went even further, suggesting that Ripple could soon become a fully licensed bank. The post warned that some people might downplay this milestone but emphasized that it would be a very bullish sign for the XRP price. Such recognition and the ensuing adoption could make XRP one of the first digital assets, other than stablecoins, deeply connected to global banking infrastructure, setting it apart from other major cryptocurrencies. Notably, Sistine Research’s outlook on XRP aligns with Ripple’s long-term vision of bridging the gap between blockchain technology and traditional finance through the use of digital assets. With regulatory clarity achieved following the resolution of its legal battle with the US SEC, XRP now faces fewer obstacles to growth and development as it continues to solidify its role in the rapidly evolving crypto and financial landscape.

The price of XRP is currently at $2.5, having experienced a slight recovery after weeks of choppy action and volatility. Crypto analyst Kamran Asghar has reinforced his optimistic forecast with his latest technical breakdown. He noted that XRP has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern and surged to about $2.5. He described this as a strong move that suggests that the cryptocurrency is “reloading” for the next phase of its bull rally. According to Asghar’s TradingView chart, the key support zone lies near $2.35. He expects a short pullback to that level before another leg higher. This implies that XRP could see a temporary 6% decline from current levels. Subsequently, if support holds, Asghar predicts a confirmed rally toward $2.7, representing an almost 15% price increase and marking the next resistance area for XRP.

Zcash Price Pulls Back Sharply as Analysts Eye Potential Crash

ZEC has entered a sharp correction phase after a 1,500% rally that pushed the Zcash price to a seven-year high of nearly $744. The coin, which became the top-performing privacy asset in 2025, is now down over 25% from its all-time high as traders question whether its parabolic uptrend has finally peaked. According to data from TradingView, ZEC began its meteoric rise in early September, breaking through long-term resistance levels at $400. However, analysts now warn that the asset may have reached its cyclical top. Popular trader Altcoin Sherpa cautioned that such steep, prolonged rallies often “end with a sharp and painful collapse.” Similarly, technical indicators show ZEC’s RSI recently hit 94.2, an extreme overbought reading last seen during its 2017–2018 boom.

Multiple market observers expect a deeper correction in the weeks ahead. Trader Greeny noted that Zcash’s current rally is “the longest in its history” and could mirror previous cycles that ended with 45%–90% drawdowns. On the daily chart, ZEC appears trapped within a corrective channel, suggesting further downside unless strong support emerges around the $400 zone. Still, not all analysts are bearish. Technical analyst Valdrin Tahiri emphasized that ZEC’s MACD and RSI indicators, although overbought, exhibit no bearish divergence, suggesting that the pullback may be a temporary correction rather than the beginning of a prolonged downtrend. If bulls manage to defend the $400 level, the coin could stabilize before resuming its broader bullish structure. Adding intrigue to the ongoing correction, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes recently reaffirmed his bullish stance on Zcash, predicting that both BTC and ZEC could benefit from renewed U.S. fiscal stimulus. Hayes argues that as government liquidity increases, privacy coins like Zcash stand to gain as investors seek decentralized and censorship-resistant assets. While short-term volatility dominates the charts, long-term holders remain confident. Zcash’s advanced zk-SNARKs technology continues to position it as a key player in privacy innovation, and if fiscal easing drives another liquidity wave, ZEC could yet stage a remarkable comeback.

Uniswap Price Could ‘Go Parabolic’ Due To Supply Shock, CEO Confident

Uniswap (UNI) ripped higher after Uniswap Labs founder Hayden Adams unveiled “UNIfication,” a sweeping governance proposal that would activate protocol fees and route them into coordinated token burns. The structural shift—combined with a sharp change in how Uniswap’s teams are organized—ignited an extremely bullish sentiment, with CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju arguing that a real supply shock could be incoming. Ki Young Ju wrote, “Uniswap could go parabolic if the fee switch is activated. Even just counting v2 and v3, with $1T in YTD volume, that’s about $500M in annual burns if volume holds. Exchanges hold $830M, so even with unlocks, a supply shock seems inevitable.”

Adams described a framework that “turns on protocol fees and aligns incentives across the Uniswap ecosystem,” framing the move as the culmination of years of legal wrangling that had constrained Labs’ role. He noted that the regulatory environment has shifted. The on-chain economics outlined are unambiguous: protocol usage would begin burning UNI; Unichain sequencer revenue would be directed to the same burn sink; and the treasury would immediately destroy 100 million UNI to account for fees that “could have been burned if fees were turned on at token launch.” Adams also described new “protocol fee discount auctions” to improve LP outcomes and internalize MEV, and an “aggregator hooks” architecture in v4 that would let the protocol capture fees sourced from external liquidity. In parallel, Uniswap Labs would stop charging fees on its interface, wallet, and API to push distribution and adoption, while Uniswap Foundation staff move to Labs under a growth mandate funded by the treasury. The net effect is a consolidation: Uniswap’s development, growth and fee policy would be operated under a single, explicitly token-aligned structure, with governance retaining control.

Price action reflected the bullish sentiment, with UNI spiking to multi-week highs and showing a one-day gain near 30%, underscoring its idiosyncratic governance-driven rally. Adams argued this blueprint is different because fee proceeds are not distributed as passive yield but are instead destroyed to concentrate value into the remaining float, while discount auctions and MEV internalization are meant to keep LPs competitive on net execution. Adams cast the proposal as an existential scaling step, stating, “I believe Uniswap protocol can be the primary place tokens are traded. This proposal sets the stage for the next decade of its growth.” According to estimates, if Uniswap were to modify its standard 0.3% trading fee so that 0.25% is allocated to liquidity providers and 0.05% directed toward UNI buybacks, the protocol could channel roughly $38 million into monthly repurchases.
