Top Three Crypto News Stories from U.Today: XRP Millionaire Addresses Surge, SEC Delays Ethereum ETF Decision, Satoshi Nakamoto’s Final Message
In the world of cryptocurrency, XRP has seen a significant surge in millionaire addresses as its price skyrocketed to a new all-time high. According to Santiment, the number of addresses holding at least one million XRP has reached 2,013, just one wallet away from surpassing the previous record set in June 2023. This increase in millionaire addresses has historically coincided with price rallies, with XRP almost doubling in value to $1 per token in the past.
Meanwhile, the SEC has delayed its decision on a spot Ethereum ETF proposal submitted by Franklin Templeton. The regulator stated that it needed more time to review the application, despite approving several spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year. The chances of the SEC accepting applications for spot Ethereum ETFs remain slim, according to top ETF analyst Nate Geraci.
In a nod to Bitcoin’s history, April 23 marks the day when Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, sent his final message on the ecosystem 13 years ago. Nakamoto expressed confidence in the project’s future, stating that he had “moved on to other things” and that Bitcoin was in good hands with Gavin and everyone. The reasons for Nakamoto’s departure from the project continue to be a topic of speculation, with some citing external pressures such as the CIA’s alleged investigation into prominent community members.
