Ripple unveiled a new blockchain-based drought relief initiative on April 4, targeting arid communities in Kenya’s Laikipia County. Collaborating with Mercy Corps Ventures and DIVA Donate, the firm introduced a pilot that will automatically distribute financial assistance to 533 pastoralists if vegetation health indicators confirm drought conditions. This project utilizes Ripple USD (RLUSD), the company’s stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar and issued on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum networks. As Ripple stated: In partnership with Mercy Corps Ventures and DIVA Donate, Ripple is supporting a pilot project that will use blockchain technology to deliver financial support in the form of Ripple USD (RLUSD)—the stablecoin backed by stability, trust, and compliance—to pastoral communities in Kenya affected by drought. Mercy Corps Ventures is the impact investing arm of the global development agency Mercy Corps. DIVA Donate is a parametric conditional donation platform that leverages decentralized finance (DeFi) and remote-sensed data to deliver effective and efficient disaster relief. The system integrates smart contracts and satellite imaging to monitor grazing conditions. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), a satellite-based metric, is used to evaluate vegetation health. If conditions fall below the drought threshold by May 31, funds are automatically disbursed via RLUSD, with each pastoralist eligible to receive about $75—sufficient to feed one livestock animal for half a year. Contributors can participate by depositing RLUSD through connected wallets, with funds held in escrow and distributed only when satellite data activates the smart contract. If drought conditions are not met, funders may reclaim their contributions or allocate them to future campaigns. Ripple underscored how stablecoins and blockchain technology can streamline global aid distribution. Traditional challenges like delayed settlement, lack of transparency, and difficulty reaching unbanked populations often hinder cross-border support. RLUSD aims to counter these issues with programmable, traceable disbursements. This effort builds on Ripple’s previous work funding organizations such as CARE and Mercy Corps Ventures to explore blockchain’s role in financial inclusion. At Swell 2024, Ripple expanded its efforts by partnering with the International Rescue Committee to pilot blockchain-powered payments in relief programs, reflecting the growing interest in merging digital finance and social impact. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Co-founder of BitMEX Arthur Hayes warns that U.S. Treasuries may no longer hold their position as the world’s top reserve asset. In a post on X, he says America’s expanding debt, coupled with changing trade policies and rising global tension, could push investors toward gold and Bitcoin. Hayes points to the sharp rise in U.S. federal debt since the gold standard ended in 1971, using a St. Louis Fed chart showing an 85-fold increase. Hayes says this expansion reflects the credit needed to support the global economy as the U.S. dollar took center stage in trade and finance. Related: The Unexpected Upside: Tariffs Depress Treasury Yields, Shine Light on Crypto He noted that this debt-driven growth has produced uneven results. Some Americans gained wealth, while others saw few benefits. Hayes argues that this divide fueled political discontent, leading to the election of Donald Trump by those who felt excluded from decades of economic expansion. Trump’s push to reduce the U.S. current account deficit via tariffs could backfire, Hayes stated. If foreign nations earn fewer dollars through trade, they might be forced to sell existing U.S. Treasury and equity holdings to support their own economies, rather than recycling dollars into buying more U.S. assets. Hayes added that even if tariffs ease later, policy uncertainty might deter foreign reliance on the U.S. financial system long-term. Given this potential instability, Hayes believes gold will re-emerge as a preferred neutral reserve asset, as it’s untethered to national policies like tariffs and tradable globally. He anticipates central banks increasingly using gold for international trade settlement. He also highlighted Bitcoin as a digital alternative store of value, likely gaining appeal as trust in traditional financial systems weakens.

He specifically forecasts the USD/CNY exchange rate reaching 10.00, driven by political pressures and Beijing’s policy resistance, calling this currency shift a potential “super bazooka” for Bitcoin. Hayes plans to elaborate on the USDCNY dynamic in a future essay. Disclaimer: The information presented in this article is for informational and educational purposes only.

As the meme coin madness continues to grip the crypto market in 2025, PEPE price finds itself quietly preparing for what could be its next breakout moment. After months of consolidation and relentless selling pressure, subtle signals are flashing across both the daily and hourly charts. Is PEPE price about to springboard toward a new local high, or will this momentum be short-lived? Let’s dive into the technicals. PEPE’s daily chart is finally showing some life after a prolonged downtrend. Currently priced around $0.000000726, the price has gained over 4% in the last 24 hours. This modest rally is taking place just as the asset hovers slightly below the 50-day SMA (Simple Moving Average) — a level that often acts as dynamic resistance. What's interesting is the price compression between the 20-day and 50-day SMAs, indicating a possible breakout setup. However, the 100-day and 200-day SMAs remain far above, at $0.000001153 and $0.000001309 respectively, reminding traders of the significant overhead resistance. This confirms that PEPE is still in a broader bearish structure but is showing short-term bullish intent. A key signal to watch is the Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL), which has slightly ticked down despite the price rise. This divergence suggests that while retail interest may be increasing, large players or institutions are not yet accumulating in bulk. If the ADL starts trending upward along with price, this would be a strong bullish confirmation. --> Wanna trade PEPE?

Currently, the price is facing resistance from the 200-hour SMA, sitting right at $0.000000733. This level has proven difficult to breach, as seen by the multiple candle wicks testing but failing to close above it. The PEPE price is comfortably above the 20-, 50-, and 100-hour SMAs , suggesting that bulls are gaining control in the short term. The structure is beginning to resemble a bullish flag breakout, with volume picking up slightly in recent sessions. What’s also notable is the behavior of the ADL on the hourly chart, which has been relatively flat around 1399. This confirms the narrative that although price is pushing upward, there isn’t yet strong backing from volume or large wallets—again pointing to a cautiously bullish but not yet explosive scenario. From a pattern standpoint, PEPE is trying to break out of a descending channel that started forming back in early February. If bulls can hold the current zone and push decisively past the $0.00000077 resistance, then the next likely targets are $0.00000090 and eventually $0.00000115 — which aligns with the 100-day SMA. However, failure to break and hold above the 200-hour SMA in the short term could send PEPE price back into the $0.00000068 to $0.00000070 range, where it’s seen strong support over the past week. Momentum remains tentative, and the real confirmation will come only when PEPE breaks above the SMA cluster between 50-day and 100-day with strong volume. For now, traders should watch for a clean breakout above $0.00000074, ideally supported by a rising ADL and increased Heikin Ashi candle body size, which would confirm sustained buying pressure. PEPE’s price structure is showing signs of short-term bullish revival , especially on the hourly chart. However, the daily chart suggests caution — larger trendlines are still unbroken, and volume hasn't fully returned. If momentum persists and is backed by strong inflows, PEPE could challenge its next local resistance at $0.00000090 in the coming days. But until we see confirmation via breakout volume and institutional accumulation (reflected in the ADL), the rally remains speculative. For now, PEPE is poised — but not yet committed — to a massive rally.

Circle Internet Financial, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has delayed its plans for an initial public offering due to current market volatility. The company had been preparing to go public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “CRCL,” with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc. as lead underwriters. But, “Circle had been nearing its next steps in going public, but is now watching anxiously before deciding what to do,” according to the Wall Street Journal. This postponement aligns with a broader trend of companies reassessing IPO timelines amid economic uncertainties. Circle confidentially filed a draft registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in January 2024, following a previously unsuccessful attempt to go public via a special purpose acquisition company merger in 2022. Despite the current delay, Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, emphasized the company’s commitment to becoming a publicly traded entity. In an interview with Bloomberg, Allaire stated , “We are very committed to the path of going public. We think we can be a really interesting company in public markets.” The decision to delay the IPO reflects broader market conditions, with several companies reevaluating their public offering plans amid heightened market volatility. Markets reacted swiftly to Trump’s tariff announcements, with U.S. small caps leading a broad equity sell-off and crypto weakening. The U.S. dollar declined against major currencies, while the yield curve bull-flattened, signaling increased recession fears. Nansen analysts believe that markets had priced in a stagflationary scenario, anticipating stagnant growth alongside rising inflationary pressures.

Ripple has launched a pilot project that will see its stablecoin, Ripple USD, used for drought relief in Kenya. The announcement comes just days after Ripple integrated the Ripple USD ( RLUSD ) stablecoin in its payments solution. Ripple is partnering with Mercy Corps Ventures and DIVA Donate, a platform that leverages decentralized finance technology to facilitate donations to pastoralists affected by drought in Kenya, for the initiative. The partners will leverage blockchain technology to bring financial aid via RLUSD to the targeted communities,Team Ripple noted. As outlined in a blog post, the pilot is part of Ripple’s broader efforts to expand its impact in cross-border payments, an effort expected to accelerate with the rollout of RLUSD. As with other blockchain-based projects, the use of stablecoins is aimed at improving transparency, settlement speed, and access for the unbanked. According to Ripple, the pilot program will demonstrate how blockchain and stablecoins can improve the delivery of aid and insurance. The trial will use RLUSD on the Ethereum ( ETH ) network. The RLUSD pool for the program will be open to public contributions, with anyone able to donate by connecting a wallet. Smart contracts will hold the funds in escrow, and automatically send RLUSD to those impacted by drought. However, this will only go into action once satellite tracking detects drought triggers- with the pilot targeting automated payouts should the system detect drought conditions by May 31, 2025. If the system determines that pastoralists are likely to face a shortage of vegetation for their livestock, each participant will receive $75 (around 9,600 Kenyan shillings) in RLUSD. Organizers say this amount is sufficient to purchase food and water for one animal for six months. Roughly 533 pastoralists in Kenya’s Laikipia County are expected to benefit from the aid. Ripple plans to publish the results of the pilot later this summer. Fund contributors will also have the option to withdraw their RLUSD or allocate it to future campaigns.
