The crypto market has witnessed a number of tokens rallying toward new all-time highs (ATHs), including notable players like Bitcoin (BTC) and Tron (TRX). Despite some setbacks, such as the US government transferring nearly $2 billion worth of Bitcoin, BTC has remained resilient, triggering a massive impulsive move that saw it reach an ATH of $104,698. While Tron (TRX) hit its own milestone of $0.4485, new players like Rexas Finance (RXS), Solana (SOL), and XRP are gaining traction and vying for the spotlight.

Rexas Finance’s potential for a $10+ valuation by early 2025 highlights its strong growth trajectory, making now the ideal time to join this transformative project.

Solana SOL Eyeing ETF Catalysts

Solana, currently trading at $224, is positioned for a breakout fueled by rumors of a potential ETF approval in 2025. Although its price has retreated from a high of $263, technical indicators suggest bullish momentum. Solana’s 50-day moving average remains above the 200-day moving average, and its RSI indicates room for growth without overbought conditions. Institutional interest in Solana remains strong, with key support levels around $215 and resistance near $240. A breach of this resistance could pave the way for a retest of its previous high and further gains. Solana’s integration into real-world applications strengthens its long-term outlook, with the potential ETF serving as a major growth driver. The community’s optimism about Solana’s future is reflected in its adoption and network upgrades. If market stability persists, SOL could achieve the significant milestone of $1,000 in the coming years.

XRP Sustaining a Bullish Momentum

XRP is riding a wave of bullish sentiment, rallying over 290% year-to-date despite early skepticism. Currently trading within a critical range of $2.13 to $2.92, XRP is poised to retest its all-time high of $3.8. Technical support at $1.88 and $2.13 reinforces its upward trajectory, while a breakout could trigger a new target of $3.999. Predictions for XRP extend beyond its current momentum, with some analysts forecasting prices as high as $10 or even $18 in the next market cycle. This optimism stems from XRP’s resilience in overcoming market challenges and its expanding utility within the crypto market. The token’s 200% rally in the last month underscores its potential to outperform expectations, particularly as it garners attention from analysts and investors alike.

Conclusion

As Bitcoin and Tron achieve new all-time highs, tokens like Rexas Finance, Solana, and XRP are carving their own paths to success. Rexas Finance’s innovative approach to real-world asset tokenization sets it apart, offering unmatched opportunities for investors. Solana’s potential ETF approval and XRP’s bullish momentum add to their appeal.

• Kraken operator in Australia Bit Trade will pay a $5.1 million fine for non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
• The Australian Securities and Investment Commission accused the crypto platform of offering a credit facilty that did not comply with regulations.

Kraken crypto exchange’s Australian operator firm has been slapped with a AU$8 million ($5.1 million) fine for non-compliance with Australian regulations.

The Australian federal court fined Bit Trade following a lawsuit by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. In its order, the court said that the Kraken crypto exchange operator must comply with the country’s crypto regulations.

The court ordered that the exchange ought to pay 8 million Australian dollars as a penalty for non-compliance with the local regulations. Notably, Kraken recently announced a licensed broker offering for clients in Australia.

Bit Trade failed to comply with regulations

In August this year, the court ruled in favour of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. The regulator had filed a case accusing Bit Trade of issuing a credit facility without following the legal proceedings.

ASIC argued that Bit Trade did not make the target market determination, a requirement to protect investors. Between October 2021 and August 2023, ASIC stated that the firm offered a margin extension to 1,100 users which cost them a loss of over $5.2 million without following the legal requirements.

The market regulator’s demand was Bit Trade to pay a fine worth 20 million Australian dollars. On their argument, Bit Trade put their limit to a maximum of four million Australian dollars. The penalty follows these proceedings, and the Kraken operator in Australia has 60 days to comply with the order.

In addition, the firm would cover for all the commissions court proceedings costs.

Kraken has faced regulatory hurdles in the US too, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suing the exchange earlier in November 2023.

SEC’s allegations include Kraken offering of unregistered activities and operating as an unregistered broker. In August 2024, a US court denied the exchange’s motion that sought to dismiss the SEC’s lawsuit.
