XRP ETF, CZ returns, Bitcoin retests ATH, on-chain tokenization | Weekly Recap

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for market trends and a hearty appreciation for history, I find myself enthralled by this week’s developments. The 21Shares Core XRP Trust filing feels like a page straight out of the crypto playbook – the third attempt at an XRP ETF, reminiscent of the old saying: “The third time’s the charm.


Today’s summary of our weekly roundup includes these updates:

  • Potentially dubbed the 21Shares Core XRP Trust, the product represents the third filing from an asset manager aiming to launch a spot XRP ETF, following similar submissions by Canary Capital and Bitwise early last month.
  • In an interview, Zhao shared his experience in prison, describing how he formed new friendships with fellow inmates. Further, he stressed that he remains bullish on the crypto market.
  • He highlighted how he was the first to go to jail for violations of the Bank Secrecy Act and confirmed that he has no intention of leading a company in the future. 
  • Having begun the week at $67,000, Bitcoin recorded consecutive bullish intraday closes to breach the $71,000 peak on Oct. 29, clinching a four-month high. 
  • The uptrend continued, allowing the premier crypto asset to soar past the $73,000 mark for the first time since March, as it retested its recent all-time high before witnessing a pullback.
  • Base, the Ethereum layer-2 solution from Coinbase, on-boarded FOBXX, a $410 million-valued tokenized U.S. Treasury fund from Franklin Templeton. This made Base the sixth network to welcome the product.
