Simon Dedic, the co-founder of crypto research house Blockfyre, has said that five of the top ten cryptocurrencies do not deserve their high-profile rank. In a recent tweet, Dedic noted that he “can’t wait” until XRP, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision, Litecoin and EOS are replaced with other assets.

According to him, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Litecoin (LTC) are all trying to replace Bitcoin (BTC). Still, Lightning Network and other scaling solutions will ultimately render them unsuccessful. He added that there is no need for a better Bitcoin. Dedic also feels that EOS has achieved “far from impressive” results after such a massive ICO. Furthermore, in his opinion, XRP’s centralized nature goes against the purpose of the crypto space, as per a Cointelegraph report.

Discussing the cryptos that deserve a place in the top ten, Dedic said that VeChain leads the market in one of blockchain’s most critical applications - supply chain. He also feels that Chainlink’s level of adoption is well-deserved.

Trusted and unbiased third-party data is becoming more and more important as this market grows, especially with DeFi rising so quickly. Chainlink does a stellar job of providing reliable market data.

Dedic said that Tezos is also a promising infrastructure project. He especially believes that the governance structure is better than that of ETH.

XRP approaches key support as risk-off sentiment deepens

Ripple (XRP) is trading at $1.06 on Monday, maintaining its position within a broader bearish trend. The token’s technical outlook continues to deteriorate, pressured by declining retail participation. Appetite for risk assets remains lethargic, as reflected in the Fear & Greed Index, which is embedded in the Fear territory at 28.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline amid renewed risk-averse sentiment

Risk appetite remains subdued, as the Fear & Greed Index holds steady at 28, deep within Fear territory.

The Bitcoin futures yield collapse: Once over 20%, now less than Treasury notes

Once a goldmine for carry traders, Bitcoin futures have flipped, consistently underperforming plain‑vanilla U.S. Treasuries every month since February. Carry trades consistently yielded 20% or more across regulated and unregulated crypto exchanges during the 2021 bull market. The strategy involved shorting Bitcoin futures while simultaneously buying a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).

The crypto market is moving in the opposite direction to equities

The crypto market’s market capitalisation has fallen by 1% over the past 24 hours, returning to levels last seen in mid-July. The positive momentum the market showed in the first half of last week failed to take hold. Once again, we are seeing a negative correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index, this time in the form of falling cryptocurrencies while shares rise. Could this be becoming the new norm?

Bitcoin: Bulls hold the line

Bitcoin (BTC) edges slightly lower, trading at $64,300 at the time of writing on Friday but holding firmly above a key support zone. US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) support BTC as they continued to attract institutional flows through Thursday, pointing to the fourth consecutive week of net inflows.
