59,364,323 RLUSD Burned on XRP Ledger as Month-End Activity Ramps Up
Over 59 million RLUSD tokens burned on the XRP Ledger as month-end activity surges.

Bitcoin's price peaked at $79,500 but has since dropped to around $76,500. Meanwhile, Pi Network's PI token has seen a significant increase amidst Bitcoin's stall.
Bitcoin’s price ascent came to a halt yesterday at $79,500 as the asset experienced a couple of leg downs in the following hours, dumping by three grand in total.
Aside from DOGE, most larger-cap alts have also posted losses over the past day, led by ZEC, XMR, and HYPE.
Bitcoin slipped at the beginning of the previous business week below $75,000 before it rocketed to a multi-month peak of $79,500 a day later after the US and Iran extended the ceasefire deal. The following days were choppy and less eventful as the asset remained sideways between $77,000 and $78,500.
The weekend was also quite sluggish, even though Trump canceled the US delegation’s trip to the peace talks with Iran, and there was a reported assassination attempt during a White House event. The more profound volatility came on Monday when BTC tapped $79,500 once again for the second time in less than a week.
However, the rejection scenario repeated, and BTC quickly dumped to $77,500. It rebounded slightly to $78,250 later that day before the bears took control of the market again and drove it south to just under $76,500.
Although it has recovered some ground since then, BTC continues to struggle below $77,000 with some warnings for another decline after tomorrow’s FOMC meeting.
For now, bitcoin’s market cap remains below $1.540 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is still over 58% on CG.
