Jamie Dimon just went from branding Bitcoin a “fraud” to calling himself a “believer” in stablecoins. This, in another institutional change of heart that could see leading crypto wallets’ native $BEST token explode in the near future. Dimon’s shift isn’t small talk. For years, the JPMorgan CEO dismissed crypto as a passing fad, comparing it to tulip mania and even pet rocks. But now? He’s backing dollar-pegged tokens, not out of hype, but because client demand is too big to ignore. This pivot could mark a turning point for digital asset adoption, especially for next-gen crypto wallets built for real-world utility. JPMorgan’s Expanding Crypto Footprint JPMorgan has gone from watching the market to wiring into it. The bank’s in-house “Deposit Coin” ($JPMD) and quiet push into stablecoin issuance show a learn-by-doing approach, letting them test the rails of tokenized finance without betting the bank. Add in its partnership with Coinbase, where Chase cardholders can buy crypto and even redeem points for $USDC, and the picture sharpens. Now, with whispers of a 2026 Bitcoin-backed loans pilot, it’s clear Dimon’s pivot isn’t talk; it’s a full-on strategy shift. Why Institutional ‘Belief’ Changes the Game When giants like JPMorgan back stablecoins, it doesn’t just validate the tech; it forces the market to mature. Suddenly, stablecoins aren’t a niche degen tool. They’re payment rails. That shift creates demand for wallets that are faster, safer, and built for real-world use, not just swapping on-chain. And this is where the Best Wallet app stands out. Instead of clunky MetaMask workarounds and patchy fiat gateways, it’s building an all-in-one hub with integrated presale access, staking, and seamless payments. That’s exactly what this new wave of users will want. Enter Best Wallet & Its Native Token $BEST If JPMorgan is betting on stablecoins, you need a wallet built for where crypto is headed – not where it’s been. Best Wallet is positioning itself as that hub, combining Fireblocks-powered MPC-CMP security with a smooth, fiat-friendly interface that strips out MetaMask’s pain points. And it’s targeting a bold 40% share of the global crypto wallet market by the end of 2026. Best Wallet stands a considerable chance of making good on its ambitions. This fully non-custodial, no KYC, multi-chain, and multi-currency hot wallet is rising among the ranks of the market’s leading crypto wallets. Driving that ecosystem push is $BEST, the token that turns Best Wallet from a tool into a platform. Holding $BEST offers an abundance of utility. Token holders get reduced on-chain fees, early access to the top crypto presales, exclusive drops, boosted APYs through the staking aggregator, governance rights, and even iGaming perks – like free spins, lootboxes, and deposit bonuses. Best Wallet isn’t another app competing for screen space. It’s building the rails for the next wave of crypto adoption, and $BEST is the ticket to ride. To discover all the benefits of this trailblazing wallet, read our full Best Wallet crypto review. And if you’d like to invest in its native token, our comprehensive guide explains how to buy $BEST. Why Banking’s Stablecoin Shift Could Reshape Wallet Tokens Dimon’s U-turn on crypto isn’t just a headline. It’s proof that the rails are shifting toward stablecoins and on-chain finance. If major banks keep leaning in, $BEST could ride that wave. And with presale integrations, upcoming DeFi loan features, and a market that loves anything tied to real utility, the Best Wallet app has the makings of a future crypto hub. Still, remember: this isn’t financial advice. Always do your own research before buying into any presale. Crypto is volatile and carries inherent risks.

XRP may be entering its most explosive phase in years, according to crypto analyst CryptoInsightUK, who on July 31 released a sweeping technical breakdown that suggests the token’s breakout from a six-year consolidation range could soon send prices to $15—and potentially beyond. “This is just the start,” he said, arguing that the recent monthly close confirms structural strength that has been building quietly over the last two market cycles. XRP Flashes Bullish Signal—Next Stop: $15? In a video analysis posted to YouTube, the analyst highlighted XRP’s rare technical alignment on the monthly chart, pointing to its sustained break above the 2018 all-time high and an upcoming potential for new highs. His base case targets a move to between $8.70 and $15 in the short-to-medium term, based on historical measured moves and momentum structure. “If we just did a measured move like the last move, it could take us as far out as $15,” he said. “I don’t think that’s unreasonable.” Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Now In Wave 4 — What To Expect Supporting the bullish case is a technical signal many market watchers have overlooked: a return of XRP’s monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) to the overbought zone, historically a precursor to parabolic rallies. In the 2017 cycle, a similar RSI pattern preceded a move of over 700%, and even a “conservative” repeat could lift XRP to well above $10, he explained. “If we make a higher high on the monthly RSI here, to me that doesn’t indicate the move is over,” he said, emphasizing that momentum indicators remain firmly in bullish territory. He also drew attention to XRP’s relative strength versus Bitcoin, calling its position on the XRP/BTC chart “such a crucial place.” After bouncing from key support levels, XRP/BTC is closing the month significantly higher than nearly all months in recent years. “We’re going to be closing above everything apart from the last couple of months,” he observed. “It’s strong. It’s showing strength.” Looking at XRP dominance—a measure of XRP’s market cap share relative to the rest of crypto—CryptoInsightUK noted the token is holding the midpoint of a range formed on top of what he calls the “sign of strength” phase. “We’ve created this range on top of Wyckoff accumulation… Things are looking good there too,” he said. He further analyzed XRP futures premiums, noting that the negative premium since July 24 resembles the setup before XRP’s last major rally from $0.50 to $2.60. “We actually went red for a bit and that was when we found our lows,” he said. “Then as we broke out of this zone, we went back to being green… and that coincided with the start of the rally.” Related Reading: XRP Blows Cold: Price Crash To $2.15 Still Possible If Buyers Falter The chart structure, momentum indicators, and liquidity maps all point to a scenario where XRP could move sharply higher with relatively minor catalysts. The analyst emphasized that this does not necessarily mean a straight line up, but rather an aggressive trend formation after years of accumulation. “If you actually take a zoomed out perspective on the XRP chart, $15 doesn’t look ridiculous,” he said. “Yes, this is logarithmic, but it really doesn’t.” He also warned against dismissing high-end projections like $27 or even $50 out of hand, referencing past patterns in both price and RSI. “I’m not suggesting we do that in a month,” he said, “but I don’t think we should rule it out either.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.92.
