#Dogecoin , despite its meme-based origin, continues to rank among the most prominent crypto assets in the market, with a valuation of $61 billion. This market cap places it ahead of utility tokens like Cardano (ADA) and Tron (TRX).
With Dogecoin trading at $0.4010 at press time, the meme coin boasts a 60-day gain of 252%, far outpacing the 45% growth seen in Ethereum and Solana. As the crypto bull run continues with nearly a year left, Dogecoin is expected to perform even more spectacularly. 
Notably, the global crypto market cap currently stands at $3.65 trillion, with Dogecoin at $61 billion. This article explores Dogecoin’s potential price and valuation in a scenario where the global market cap reaches $15 trillion.

Dogecoin Price with $15 Trillion Global Market Cap

Notably, with a market cap of $61 billion, Dogecoin currently makes up 1.67% of the global crypto market cap, which is $3.65 trillion. For the global crypto market to reach $15 trillion, it would need to grow by 310%.
As a result, Dogecoin could achieve a market cap of approximately $250 billion, particularly if the meme coin maintains its current dominance and circulating supply. In this case, a $250 billion market cap would correspond to a price of $1.70 per Dogecoin.
For market participants holding Dogecoin at its current price, this would represent a 3X growth in their portfolio.

#Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has criticized Wyoming Token Commission executive director Anthony Apollo for ignoring Cardano and XRP in the stablecoin project.
Hoskinson has been vocal about recent developments in the Wyoming stablecoin project. For context, the agency announced nine chains where Wyoming would issue the imminent state-backed stablecoin, including networks like Ethereum, Stellar, and Sui.
However, the major shock came when the project did not include Cardano, Bitcoin, and XRP as networks that could accomodate the stablecoin. The decision did not bode well with Hoskinson, who has repeatedly cited a bias.

Cardano Founder Taunts Apollo

In a tweet today, Hoskinson taunted the Wyoming Token Commission’s head, Anthony Apollo, for the snub. He reposted a tweet from a Cardano enthusiast, stating that the executive director overlooked Cardano and XRP but chose Ethereum because he knows a lot about the network.
The Cardano founder stated that his knowledge came from his time with Consensys, one of the core developers of the Ethereum network. He implied that Apollo was biased in his decision to include Ethereum and snub Cardano.
Notably, the response came to a tweet from Stake With Pride, one of the Cardano ecosystem’s SPOs and Dreps. The user shared a clip from the December 13 Wyoming Joint Appropriation Committee meeting, where Apollo insinuated that Cardano is centralized.

#XRP fair market value exceeds the $122,000 price mark, according to an assessment from the Collateralization model from Valhil Capital.
XRP has been one of the top performers over the past six weeks, having recently reclaimed and retained the $2 level. Despite this, some commentaries suggest the altcoin still trades below its fair market value due to several factors contributing to price suppression.

The Collateralization Model

Notably, last year, venture capital firm Valhil Capital compiled several models seeking to assess XRP’s fair market value under certain conditions. Interestingly, a bold valuation model, the Collateralization Model, suggests that XRP could has a fair market value of $122,580.
This evaluation sees a future where global financial systems are tokenized, and XRP becomes the foundation for collateralizing assets worldwide. Developed by Valhil Capital, the model examines the total global wealth and tokenization’s impact on XRP’s role as a store of value.
Interestingly, the Collateralization Model assumes that all global assets, including real estate, derivatives, central bank reserves, and commodities, are tokenized on the XRPL, the underlying blockchain for XRP. The Ripple CTO David Schwartz already confirmed that the XRPL is pivoting to RWA tokenization.
This ambitious scenario sees a future where blockchain technology represents the full spectrum of global wealth. Notably, the goal is to determine XRP’s value as a universal collateral asset in a highly interconnected, tokenized financial system.
Further, the methodology stresses XRP’s ability to secure assets rather than drive transactions. The model’s assumptions include full tokenization of global wealth and the use of XRP to collateralize this value.

Amid speculation that BlackRock may be preparing to launch an #XRP ETF, an executive from the company has provided an update. 
Over the past few months, several XRP enthusiasts have been anticipating an XRP ETF filing from BlackRock. It all began after a fake XRP ETF filing from the company was filed on the State of Delaware website last year. At the time, the price of XRP skyrocketed tremendously, soaring by over 15%. 
However, BlackRock quickly refuted the report, emphasizing that the filing was fake. Ever since, several asset managers like Bitwise, Canary Capital, 21Shares, and WisdomTree have submitted separate applications to the SEC, seeking to launch XRP ETFs in the United States. 

Latest Update on BlackRock XRP ETF 

Consequently, speculation suggests that BlackRock could also join the race to offer an XRP ETF to its clients. On the contrary, fresh comments from BlackRock’s Head of ETF Department, Jay Jacobs, indicate that the world’s largest asset manager has no immediate plans to launch an XRP ETF. 
According to Jacobs, BlackRock is currently focused on its spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs rather than introducing a similar product for other altcoins like XRP. 
Recall that BlackRock launched its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs earlier this year, with both products attracting inflows of $35.88 billion and $3.19 billion, respectively. 
Despite this remarkable feat, Jacobs pointed out that only a small fraction of BlackRock’s clients currently own shares of iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA). 
Therefore, he emphasized the need to broaden their accessibility to a wider range of clients while stressing that there are no immediate plans to introduce new ETFs tied to altcoins, such as XRP. 
Bloomberg’s ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas shared Jacob’s comment on X earlier this week.

Frank Richard Ahlgren III, a Satoshi-Era #Bitcoin adopter from Texas, has been sentenced to two years in prison for crypto tax fraud. 
Ahlgren was found guilty of filing false tax returns and underreporting considerable capital gains from his Bitcoin investments.

The Case Against Ahlgren

Between 2017 and 2019, Ahlgren filed federal tax returns that either misrepresented or completely omitted substantial profits from Bitcoin sales. Notably, Ahlgren began purchasing Bitcoin as early as 2011.
His most notable transaction occurred in 2017 when he sold 640 BTC tokens for $3.7 million. Using the proceeds, he purchased a house in Park City, Utah. 
However, Ahlgren misled his accountant during the preparation of his 2017 tax return. In particular, he inflated the purchase price of his Bitcoin holdings, thereby underreporting his actual capital gain from the sale.
In addition to his 2017 false reporting, Ahlgren made further efforts to conceal his Bitcoin transactions in 2018 and 2019. These efforts included transferring Bitcoin through multiple wallets, conducting in-person cash exchanges, and utilizing mixers to obfuscate the source of his transactions. 
Despite these efforts to hide his activity, the IRS Criminal Investigation team was able to track the transactions. They uncovered a total tax loss exceeding $1 million.
Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart Goldberg emphasized that Ahlgren’s attempts to hide his gains would not go unpunished. “Ahlgren believed his crypto transactions were untraceable, but the law applies to everyone, regardless of the medium,” said Goldberg.

Despite increased price fluctuations near the $100,000 mark, #Bitcoin maintains an overall optimistic trend. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $100,053, just shy of the $2 trillion market cap.
Technical setups indicate underlying bullish sentiment, suggesting a potential breakout rally.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin’s price trend shows a bullish breakout from a triangle pattern. However, the rally failed to surpass the critical local resistance at $101,642.
The supply zone now serves as the neckline of a bullish setup. Bitcoin’s price action is forming an inverted head-and-shoulder pattern and is currently in the process of forming the right shoulder.
The minor pullback during the formation of the right shoulder is seen as a retest of the previously broken resistance trendline. With the bullish setup and the post-retest reversal potential, the sentiment remains optimistic.
This minor pullback has led to a convergence of the MACD and signal line, warning of a potential bearish crossover. However, key dynamic support levels, such as the 20 EMA on the 4-hour chart, are observing a surge in supply.

World Liberty Financial has acquired millions worth of Chainlink and Aave coins again, 24 hours after splashing cash for similar purchases.
The Donald Trump-affiliated decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol continues its cryptocurrency acquisition after yesterday’s $12 million buying spree. This time, it focused on buying more of Chainlink (LINK) and Aave (AAVE).
Data from Etherscan shows that World Liberty Financial spent millions of USDC to increase its exposure to LINK and AAVE, contributing to the assets’ uptrend. Notably, the WLFI wallet acquired a few other cryptocurrencies as operations seemingly drew closer.

World Liberty Financial Increases Altcoin Stash

The DeFi protocol kickstarted its cryptocurrency acquisition with the Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC), acquiring 103 ($10 million USDC) of the asset. Since then, the project’s wallet has swapped its USDC stash for altcoins.
Earlier today, WLFI bought 37,052 LINK ($1 million USDC) at an average price of $27. Notably, the accrual took its total Chainlink stash to 78,387 LINK, acquired at an average price of $25.5.
Meanwhile, the DeFi protocol also bought more Aave tokens. Data shows that it swapped $257,672 USDC for 685 AAVE today at an average cost of $360 per coin. With the latest buy, the WLFI now holds 4,042 AAVE ($1.25 million USDC) at the cost of $308.4.
Notably, the World Liberty Financial address received more assets from an OKX-affiliated account. Wallet address “0xf2d50” sent Fantom (FTM), Curve DAO (CRV), Parawap (PSP), Stake DAO (SDT), and Balancer (BAL) to the WLFI address.

AMP makes history by becoming the first major Australian-based superannuation fund to invest in #Bitcoin (BTC).
Local media outlet Australian Financial Review (AFR) reports today that AMP invested $27 million in Bitcoin as part of its diversification strategy. The investment represents 0.05% of AMP’s total funds worth $57 billion.
It bears mentioning that the company made the investment in May when Bitcoin was trading at around $60,000. However, the price has skyrocketed above the $100,000 mark ever since, netting the superannuation fund a profit of 66.66%.

AMP Execs React, Say Bitcoin Potential Is Too Big to Ignore 

Although AMP invested in Bitcoin earlier this year, the move became public knowledge recently following a LinkedIn post from the company’s Senior Portfolio Manager, Steve Flegg.
Notably, Flegg characterized the investment as ‘taking the plunge’ as Bitcoin looked to wrap up an outstanding year. The investment comes as most fund managers in the retirement savings sectors are ignoring Bitcoin due to its volatility. 
Explaining the motive behind AMP’s Bitcoin investment, Flegg pointed out that BTC’s potential has become too big to ignore despite the risk associated with the asset. 
Anna Shelly, AMP’s Chief Investment Officer, also commented on the bold move, indicating that it is part of the company’s diversification strategy. She pointed out that the investment was also driven by the sentiment and momentum associated with the premier asset. 
Furthermore, she acknowledged the risk involved in crypto while pointing out that AMP’s users have benefitted from the investment decision. The CIO suggested that the company is cautious about being too exposed to crypto, as the $27 million allocated to Bitcoin marks its upper-risk limit in the asset class.
