BRICS: Nigeria Plans To Sell Oil in Local Currency
Nigeria had applied to join BRICS in 2023 but the application was rejected at the15th summit in Johannesburg. Despite the rejection, Nigeria is looking at possible ways to join BRICS and be a part of the bloc. The African country wants to strengthen its local currency, the Naira, by allowing other countries to settle trade in their tender. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana has urged the Federal Government to follow BRICS ideals of de-dollarization and sell crude oil in local currency Naira and not the US dollar.
Falana urged the Nigerian government to rely less on the US dollar and use Naira for crude oil payments. The State-advocate called the government to ignore predictio
While no one can accurately predict the future, the recent decline in the price of #BONK could pave the way for a deciding moment for the asset’s future price.Such a substantial price drop can easily turn into a downward spiral that sends the price into hard-to-recover-from levels. The second largest meme coin, Shiba Inu, is an example of a token that has faced a similar struggle. While SHIB has impressed in recent weeks, it remains 87.79% below its October 2021 all-time high.Meanwhile, BONK’s decline could also pave the way for a new crop of holders who missed out on the initial run-up to build a position. However, there is no guarantee this would be favorable, and investors should conduct thorough research before jumping in.In BONK’s case, the recent listing on Coinbase could help its course in the same way that Solana’s recent rise to stardom has impacted BONK’s price positively.However, continued selling pressure could see investor confidence evaporate and potentially send the token into the ashes, where most meme coin-related projects end up after their classic moments.$BONK

The #Bitcoin market has fallen a bit, but it also sees a lot of support in the region we are currently trading in. This is a market that also has the backing of Wall Street, which means that stabilization might be easier than in the past. Bitcoin Technical Analysis: The bitcoin market has fallen during Asian trading and at this point in time is looking at the $64,000 level to see whether or not it is going to be supported. I do think eventually it gets supported, but we may need to work off a little bit of fear in the markets. This isn’t just about Bitcoin, this is about the world, quite frankly, as there have been a massive amount of negative positions put on out there. With that being said, I think this is a situation where we eventually try to go looking toward the 50-day EMA above, which is closer to the $65,400 level, and if we can break above that, then the $67,000 level is more likely than not going to be the next target. If we break down from here, I see a massive amount of support at both the $62,000 level and the $60,000 level, which of course, is a large round psychologically significant figure, and has shown itself to be important more than once in the past. Because of this, I would be very interested in this area for a potential set up. Because of this, I am bullish, but I also recognize that you need to see momentum coming back into the market. If you’re a longer term holder, then it probably doesn’t matter as much. Remember, position sizing will be everything, especially in an environment like we have right now where pretty much everything has sold off for the last couple of days. $BTC #BinanceTurns7

#Ripple (XRP) Skyrockets 13% Daily to 3-Month Peak, #bitcoin (BTC) Touched $66K (Market Watch) After XRP, the other notable gainers from the larger-cap alts include FET, AVAX, APT, and more. Amid the ongoing positive inflows toward the spot Bitcoin ETFs, the price of the underlying asset continues to recover and tapped $66,000 for the first time in roughly a month earlier today. The altcoins are also well in the green, with XRP leading the pack following a 13% daily surge. BTC Stopped at $66K: Bitcoin’s price actions went through extreme turbulence at the start of the month, culminating in a price dump to a three-month low of under $54,000 on July 5. Since then, though, the asset has managed to recover more than ten grand. The bounce-off started almost immediately with a jump to $58,000, and the cryptocurrency stood there for several days. It wasn’t until the failed assassination attempt against US presidential candidate Donald Trump during the weekend that BTC spiked hard and reclaimed the $60,000 line. More gains came at the start of the current business week as bitcoin jumped to $63,000 yesterday and kept climbing in the past 24 hours. Another three-grand increase resulted in tapping $66,000 for the first time since June 20. Despite losing about $1,000 since then, bitcoin now sits at just over $65,000. Its market cap is slightly above $1.280 trillion, and its dominance over the alts stands still at 51.2% on CG. XRP on the Run: Ripple’s native token has emerged as today’s top performer. The asset has soared by more than 13% in the past 24 hours and now trades at a multi-month peak of its own at over $0.6. FET is the other larger-cap alt with a similar surge that has driven it to $1.5. $XRP #BinanceTurns7
#Ripple CEO: Legal Battle with SEC Will Be Over During a recent interview with Bloomberg, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that he expected his company's legal battle with the SEC to end "very soon." However, Garlinghouse refused to speak about Ripple's rumored settlement talks with the agency. He also stated that he could not predict when exactly the lawsuit would be over. Earlier this week, the Ripple-affiliated XRP token experienced a substantial price rally due to settlement rumors. However, it then retraced its gains after a private meeting between Ripple and the agency allegedly got called off. A little over a year ago, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that the secondary sales of the controversial token did not constitute a securities offering. According to Galinghouse, Ripple spent more than $150 million during its three-year legal battle with the SEC. "We can't do that with every single token," he added. The Ripple CEO has stressed that it was a formative case for the cryptocurrency industry, adding that his company will continue clamoring for regulatory clarity. During the interview, Garlinghouse reiterated his view that crypto is not supposed to be a partisan issue in the U.S. At the same time, he has acknowledged that there is "legislative momentum" on both sides of the political spectrum. He said that the lack of a clear cryptocurrency regulatory framework is "frustrating" in the U.S. Instead, the industry has to deal with interminable legal actions from the SEC. $XRP #BinanceTurns7

Market watchers have predicted short and long-term targets for the token after the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) token merger.

This month, the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance kicked off phase 1 of the ASI token merger process. The process began with rebranding Fetch.AI’s name and logo to the Alliance’s. Additionally, FET updated its supply and market capitalization but momentarily kept its ticker.Phase 1 began with delisting Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) and SingularityNET (AGIX) from crypto trading platforms. However, several exchanges, including Coinbase, announced they would not support the migration process.
Following the rebrand, FET’s price dropped by nearly 10% despite flipping other AI tokens like Render (RNDR) and becoming the 27th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
At the time, the token lost the $1.4 support zone and fell to the $1.2 price range before reclaiming the $1.3 mark. The broader market retrace dragged FET’s price below $1.1, a level not seen since late February. This performance represented a 26% decline from its Q3 opening price of $1.45.

As the market recovered from the July retrace, FET surged 38.7% over the weekend. The AI token rose from the $1.11 price level and reclaimed the $1.4 support zone on Monday.

On Thursday, World of Charts pointed out FET’s recent price action. To the analyst, the token is breaking out of a falling wedge pattern and expects a “massive bullish wave” towards $5 in the following days. #BinanceTurns7
