    XRP Jumps 13% Ahead of Ripple Stablecoin Launch

    XRP saw its price jump 21% over the last seven days and 13% over the last 24 hours, trading at $2.69 as of press time—just as the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin launches on the network. XRP was launched by the co-founders of Ripple Labs in 2012, but the company has gone to great lengths to stress that it is not the issuer of the token. Still, crypto traders know there’s a link and tend to consider good news for Ripple Labs, like its new stablecoin being approved by New York regulators, as an indi...

    France Wants Bitcoin HODLers to Pay Taxes on 'Unproductive Wealth'

    Earlier this week French Senator Sylvie Vermeillet proposed classifying Bitcoin and other digital assets as “unproductive,” arguing they should be taxed like luxury items and vacant properties. The bill in question classifies cryptocurrencies as unproductive assets for the 2025 budget, meaning that taxes will be imposed on unrealized gains if they exceed €800,000. Paris-based Alice Stork, founder of Web3 public relations agency ICL, told Decrypt that a Bitcoin tax on unrealized gains is “worryin...
