The CLARITY Act Is Not The Only Win For XRP, Here Are Other Wins For Ripple
Crypto pundit Pumpius has revealed how the CLARITY Act represents a “massive” win for XRP with key provisions to protect its ecosystem. He also alluded to another recent development, which will enable the altcoin to take over the global financial system . Pundit Highlights CLARITY Act As A Major Win For XRP In an X post , Pumpius alluded to section 604 of the CLARITY Act as a massive win for XRP. The section focuses on the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act , which protects crypto developers. He noted that if someone builds an open-source blockchain software and does not control users’ funds, then they will not be classified as a money transmitter. Furthermore, these developers won’t have any obligations to the FinCEN or be subject to federal criminal law or state registration rules. Pumpius declared that writing code is not money transmission, nor is building self-custody tools or running nodes. As such, this is expected to build the confidence of developers in the XRP Ledger ecosystem. Pumpius noted that for years, developers have lived in fear that publishing code could cause legal trouble, but now, with this provision, that fear “just got deleted.” He added that this is the clearest, strongest legal shield ever given to the open-source developers powering the crypto industry and that it is a huge victory for Ripple and XRP . The CLARITY Act advanced yesterday as the Senate Banking Committee voted 15 to 9 in bipartisan support for the crypto bill. The bill will now head to the full Senate for consideration and a vote to pass it into law. XRP and the broader crypto market notably rallied yesterday on the back of the development, as market participants continue to price in the possibility of regulatory clarity soon. Another Key Development For XRP In another X post , Pumpius revealed that Ripple had just infiltrated the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), marking another major win for XRP in addition to the CLARITY Act. He noted that XRP’s global takeover is here, with a Bank of Japan (BOJ) insider confirming that his close colleague has secured a high-influence position at the BIS. The crypto pundit declared that this is not an ordinary appointment and that it is being hailed as a massive breakthrough for Ripple’s proven cross-border technology. This is expected to supercharge XRP’s adoption across institutional giants and international payment rails. He added that the BIS move could ignite the next wave of global liquidity, with Ripple already deeply embedded in Japan via SBI Ripple Asia, live XRP pilots crushing SWIFT, and XRPL powering tokenization. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.48, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Dogecoin Recovery Push Continues, But Bears Still Threaten One Final Drop
Dogecoin continues to show signs of recovery as bulls gradually push prices higher from recent lows. However, despite the improving momentum, the broader market structure still suggests caution, with bears attempting to keep the rally contained below key resistance levels. Building Momentum Ahead Of Potential Breakout Dogecoin is still climbing gradually, and crypto market commentator Caligh believes that slow buildup phases like this often come before explosive rallies. Traders who have been in the market for years understand how quickly DOGE can accelerate once momentum truly kicks in, turning quiet accumulation into aggressive upside expansion. Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) Breaks Away From Pack As Momentum Turns Aggressive According to Caligh, DOGE is more than just another meme coin; it has historically acted as a signal that liquidity is flowing back into the altcoin market. Since Ethereum lost part of its dominance after the 2021 cycle, strong Dogecoin rallies have repeatedly coincided with renewed speculative appetite across the altcoin market. Caligh also highlighted that the current consolidation phase can feel exhausting for traders because the market often moves slowly before a breakout finally arrives. However, these drawn-out periods of patience and uncertainty are usually what create the foundation for larger price expansions later on. For traders looking ahead, Caligh stressed the importance of positioning early rather than chasing moves after the market has already surged. Waiting patiently during accumulation phases may offer stronger opportunities than entering after fear of missing out takes over and the broader altcoin market begins moving aggressively higher. Dogecoin Recovery Rally Remains Corrective For Now Crypto analyst MCO Global explained that Dogecoin is still moving higher within what appears to be a corrective recovery pattern. Although the meme coin has managed to rebound from recent lows, the rally has not yet formed a convincing five-wave impulsive move, keeping the broader outlook cautious for now. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Out Strong: Bullish Structure Aligns For More Upside According to the analyst, several key resistance levels are now coming into focus. The first major barrier stands at $0.118, followed by $0.133, which also aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. If bullish momentum strengthens beyond these zones, the next upside targets are projected to be around $0.156 and $0.183. On the downside, MCO Global identified $0.105 and $0.089. Holding above these levels may help sustain the current rebound structure; however, a break below them could significantly weaken short-term momentum. Despite the recent upward movement, the analyst noted that the broader chart structure still leaves room for another larger fifth-wave decline to the $0.058 to $0.047 range over time. A strong impulsive breakout above resistance levels would be needed to invalidate the bearish outlook and confirm a more convincing trend reversal.

$292M Kelp Exploit Pushes Lombard to Migrate $1B BTC Assets to Chainlink CCIP
Lombard Finance is moving more than $1 billion in Bitcoin-backed assets from LayerZero to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol after completing an internal security review following the Kelp DAO exploit. The protocol said Chainlink CCIP will become its exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for LBTC and BTC.b, two Bitcoin-backed assets used across decentralized finance. Lombard said the decision is part of a wider security upgrade as it expands Bitcoin liquidity across multiple blockchain networks. The move follows renewed scrutiny of cross-chain bridge systems after the April Kelp DAO exploit, which drained about $292 million from a LayerZero-powered bridge. Since then, several crypto firms and DeFi protocols have moved or started moving assets to Chainlink CCIP. The total migration wave is estimated at $4 billion in assets. Lombard said CCIP will replace LayerZero across Solana, Etherlink, Berachain, Corn, and TAC. The protocol will also fully deprecate LayerZero usage on Morph and Swell. Lombard Moves LBTC and BTC.b to Chainlink CCIP Lombard issues LBTC and BTC.b as Bitcoin-backed assets designed to bring BTC liquidity into DeFi. These assets allow Bitcoin exposure to move across smart contract networks for trading, collateral, and other on-chain use cases. The protocol said its migration to Chainlink CCIP is intended to protect users while supporting broader distribution of Bitcoin-backed assets. Lombard said it has maintained zero security incidents and 100% uptime since launch and that its cross-chain infrastructure must meet the same standard as the protocol grows. Lombard co-founder Jacob Phillips said the team reviewed available cross-chain systems after recent bridge security events. He said the review led Lombard to select Chainlink CCIP for securing LBTC and BTC.b. The migration also includes the adoption of Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Token standard. Lombard said the standard supports a burn-and-mint model that allows a single canonical token to move across chains. The protocol said this reduces external dependencies and avoids vendor lock-in because Lombard keeps ownership of its token contracts. Kelp DAO Exploit Spurs Wider Bridge Review The April Kelp DAO exploit increased attention on bridge risk across DeFi. Cross-chain systems handle large pools of value and often serve as key infrastructure for wrapped assets, liquid staking tokens and Bitcoin-backed tokens. After the exploit, Kelp DAO, Solv Protocol, Re, Kraken and Lombard all moved or announced moves toward Chainlink CCIP. Together, those migrations represent roughly $4 billion in assets, according to industry estimates. Kraken recently said it would migrate kBTC and future Kraken Wrapped Assets to Chainlink CCIP. Kelp DAO has also restarted rsETH withdrawals, bridging and claims as part of its recovery plan after the exploit. Chainlink Labs Chief Business Officer Johann Eid said Lombard’s migration is part of a broader move toward cross-chain infrastructure with stronger security controls. He said CCIP is being used by protocols that need reliable infrastructure for institutional adoption and larger Bitcoin-based DeFi markets. LayerZero remains one of the largest cross-chain messaging providers, but the Kelp exploit has led some protocols to reassess bridge dependencies and risk controls. Lombard’s decision shows how protocols are reviewing infrastructure choices after high-value losses. Chainlink Security Features Drive Migration Lombard said Chainlink CCIP offers defense-in-depth architecture, independent node operators, built-in rate limits and audited infrastructure. Chainlink said each bridge lane is secured by at least 16 independent, security-reviewed node operators. The protocol also pointed to native rate limits that can act as circuit breakers during extreme events. These controls are designed to limit asset movement if abnormal activity is detected. Lombard also cited Chainlink’s institutional certifications, including SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. The protocol said those standards are relevant as Bitcoin-backed assets move into larger DeFi and institutional markets. The migration gives Lombard the option to add its own Security Consortium as an extra validation layer for cross-chain transfers. Lombard said this lets it enforce its own transfer rules, maintain a record of asset movement and update verification logic when needed. After the announcement, the LINK price recovered from a bearish shift, trading near $10.31, up 0.89% over 24 hours. The LINK price has recently broken above a longer-term descending trendline and is consolidating between $10.03 and $10.80 as buyers test previous resistance as support.
