Ripple's Swell 2026 conference opens today in New York , its biggest edition yet, with 1,500+ attendees and a Garlinghouse–Tom Farley fireside ; but the price hasn't reacted, sitting near a one-month low after sliding from about $1.57 in late September.
The Fed's policy meeting (Oct 27–28) runs through the same window and may matter more than the conference.
To watch: any partnership or deal announcements out of Swell, and whether $1.27 support holds. a break below it opens the way lower, while $1.31–1.32 is the fir

Funding rates remain positive, so why can prices still fall?
In crypto perpetual futures markets, funding rates are an important indicator many traders use to gauge market sentiment.
When funding rates remain positive, it usually means longs need to pay funding fees to shorts.
As a result, some traders assume that since longs are willing to keep paying fees, the market must be relatively strong and prices may continue to rise.
But that is not always the case.
Sometimes funding rates stay positive while prices continue to fall.
Why?
Because funding rates reflect pricing and positions in the per

The force behind trends comes from supply-demand imbalances.
When discussing REO supply and demand, *The Way of Trading* says prices generally have continuity: declines drive rises, rises drive declines, and bearish and bullish candles alternate to push the market along. A sudden sharp rally or sell-off leaves an imbalance zone, and prices are highly likely to come back and test it later.
The book also teaches how to identify “fresh” supply and demand zones. A supply zone runs from the opening price of the bullish candle before a clear decline to the high before that decline; a demand zone is

Why don’t lower transaction fees necessarily mean a public blockchain is more competitive?
In the Web3 world, low fees have long been an important selling point for attracting users.
Lower transaction costs let users transfer, trade, and use decentralized applications more cheaply. This is especially important for gaming, DeFi, and payment scenarios that require frequent interactions.
But if a public blockchain’s fees are much lower than those of other networks, does that necessarily make it more competitive?
Not necessarily.
Fees determine the cost of using a network, but its long-term compet

Today at Nasdaq in New York, BNB Standard rang the opening bell to celebrate its name change and new CEO.
CZ was there in person, and his voice even trembled a little during his speech—he was clearly emotional. Looking back, he said that when BNB first launched in 2017, it was just a simple token, without even its own chain. He never imagined that nine years later he would be standing here ringing the bell.
The company holds the world's largest corporate BNB treasury, with more than 500,000 tokens, and plans to run validator nodes on-chain.
Put simply, this opens a door for traditional capital

Why can assets still be sent to the wrong address even after you carefully checked the wallet address before transferring?
In the world of cryptocurrency, transfer addresses are usually long strings of characters.
To avoid typing errors, many users don't enter addresses manually, but instead copy an address they have used before from their transaction history.
This habit is convenient, but attackers can exploit it.
A common attack is called address poisoning.
Its danger lies in this: attackers don't necessarily need to steal your private key or control your wallet. They may only need you to co
