XRP Showing Same Setup As Mastercard and Visa. Here’s Next Likely Action
Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) recently shared a chart comparing XRP’s current price action to the historical stock movements of Mastercard and Visa. The analysis highlights that both payment giants followed a pattern that XRP is now showing. This comparison provides insight into potential growth trajectories for XRP from its current price of $1.95. Mastercard and Visa Patterns Mastercard’s stock moved from approximately $12 to $527.57. This represents a gain of roughly 4,296%. Visa rose from around $12 to $325.28, representing 2,611% increase. Both companies displayed a three-phase progression in price growth, marked by periods of consolidation followed by strong upward moves. XRP is currently in a setup that mirrors the early stages of these phases. This analysis suggests that the asset has the potential for significant gains if the pattern holds. Mastercard and Visa stock showed the same setup $XRP is showing now pic.twitter.com/gxupXWwPwh — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) January 22, 2026 Applying Historical Gains to XRP Using Mastercard’s 4,296% percentage increase, XRP’s current price of $1.95 could theoretically reach approximately $85.72. Similarly, applying Visa’s 2,611% gain gives a potential target of $52.86. These targets put XRP in a larger position compared to its current valuation, assuming the historical pattern repeats in the crypto market. Phase Progression Analysis The chart shows XRP moving through three distinct phases, similar to Mastercard and Visa. Phase 1 is the initial accumulation and early breakout. The asset began forming this with its brief resurgence in early January . Following Phase 1, XRP will experience a rapid surge. This move will push it to Phase 2, where another brief consolidation will occur. Phase 3 represents the final stop before more accelerated gains. XRP is currently transitioning from Phase 1 to Phase 2, which aligns with the historical trajectory of the two stocks. If the asset follows a comparable progression, it could experience rapid growth in the upcoming months .

Binance Founder CZ Addresses Trump‑Related Controversy In Latest Statement
Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has pushed back against growing scrutiny surrounding his relationship with President Donald Trump, saying his ties to the president and his family have been widely misunderstood following Trump’s decision to grant him a pardon last year. CZ Rejects Allegations Of Binance’s Political Links Attention on Zhao intensified after President Trump issued a pardon in October 2025, a move that prompted renewed criticism from Democratic lawmakers and fueled questions about Binance’s alleged political and business connections. Addressing the controversy in a recent interview with CNBC, Zhao said claims of a business relationship with the Trump family are inaccurate. “There’s no business relationship whatsoever,” Zhao stated. The former executive added that the narrative surrounding the pardon and Binance’s alleged ties to Trump had been “misconstrued.” Related Reading: Binance Forms New Company In Greece, Moves Forward With MiCA Licensing Much of the scrutiny centers on Binance’s connection to the Trump-linked decentralized finance (DeFi) venture World Liberty Financial (WLFI). That connection traces back to a $2 billion investment made in March 2025 by MGX, a state‑owned firm based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. MGX invested in Binance using USD1, a stablecoin created by World Liberty Financial. Zhao emphasized that the payment method was chosen by the investor, not Binance. “MGX is the investor. They choose USD1,” he said. “My request to them was they pay us in crypto. I don’t want to deal with banks, really.” According to Zhao, the use of the venture’s USD1 stablecoin has been wrongly interpreted as evidence of a deeper relationship. “Many people misconstrued that,” he added. WLFI Push Back On Political Influence Claims In a statement, WLFI spokesperson David Wachsman said the company played no role in the pardon process. “As we have stated many times, WLFI is not a political organization and had zero role in the pardon process,” Wachsman said. “To imply otherwise is dangerous and false.” Trump himself downplayed any personal connection in a November interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes. “I have no idea who he is,” the president said of Zhao. Trump added that he had been told Zhao was “a victim, just like I was and just like many other people, of a vicious, horrible group of people in the Biden administration.” Additional attention has focused on Binance’s lobbying efforts in Washington. NBC News reported during the week of the pardon that Binance had hired Checkmate Government Relations, a lobbying firm led by Charles McDowell, who is a friend of Donald Trump Jr. Related Reading: Expert Analyzes XRP, Ethereum, And Solana: Predictions For The Next Altcoin Season According to disclosures, the firm was paid $450,000 to lobby the White House and the Treasury Department on matters including “executive relief” and digital asset‑related financial services policy. Zhao denied that any lobbying effort was connected to his pardon. “There is a lot of media saying that there is some deal in place to get me the pardon,” he told CNBC in Davos. “As far as I know, that does not exist at all.” Binance’s former CEO also said he has never spoken directly with President Trump. “The closest that I got to him was today when he was doing the Board of Peace session,” Zhao said. “I was in the audience, about 30 to 40 feet away from him.” At the time of writing, Binance Coin (BNB) was trading at $893, having recorded a 4% drop over the previous week. However, it is one of the few cryptocurrencies to have retained gains year-to-date, with an increase of 30% in that time. Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com

Monero, Zcash, And Dash Prohibited In India Amid Money-Laundering Crackdown
India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU‑IND) has launched a fresh anti‑money‑laundering crackdown aimed at privacy‑focused cryptocurrencies. The move targets Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash (DASH), which together represent the largest and most widely used privacy coins globally. India Tightens Crypto Oversight Details of the action were shared on Friday by market analyst MartyParty on social media platform X (previously Twitter), who notes that FIU‑IND has issued a directive to crypto exchanges registered in India, instructing them to immediately suspend deposits, withdrawals, and trading activity for Monero, Zcash, and Dash. At the heart of the regulator’s concerns is the technology underpinning these assets. Privacy coins rely on advanced cryptographic techniques designed to obscure transaction details, wallet balances, and user identities. Monero uses ring signatures to hide the sender and receiver, Zcash allows shielded transactions that conceal transaction data, and Dash offers optional privacy features. While these tools are valued by users seeking confidentiality, regulators argue they make it difficult for exchanges to meet know‑your‑customer (KYC) and transaction‑monitoring obligations. The regulator views these features as posing elevated risks related to money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions evasion. The latest directive applies to all cryptocurrency exchanges registed in the country, which currently includes crypto platforms operating in compliance with Indian regulations. They have been instructed to stop supporting the assets, including delisting, blocking all deposits and withdrawals, and disabling any associated trading pairs. Monero, Zcash, And Dash Show Mixed Market Reaction The latest action builds on a broader regulatory push by Indian authorities. In October 2025, FIU‑IND ordered internet service providers to block access to 25 offshore crypto exchanges that failed to register. By contrast, only a handful of exchanges currently remain fully registered and compliant in the country. Binance, Mudrex, Coinbase, CoinSwitch (CoinSwitch Kuber), and ZebPay continue to operate legally in India. Despite the regulatory pressure , market prices for the targeted privacy coins showed short‑term resilience. Over the past 24 hours, all three assets posted gains after recovering from sharp losses earlier in the week. Monero was trading at $524 at the time of writing, up 3.5% on the day. Zcash also rebounded modestly, rising 2.2% to trade at $372. Dash recorded the strongest daily performance, jumping 11.6% during the same period. However, the broader trend remains negative. According to CoinGecko data , Monero, Zcash, and Dash are still down sharply on a weekly basis, with losses of approximately 21%, 8%, and 20% respectively over the past seven days.
