PiggyBank has pledged to compensate affected users, without providing amounts or a timetable.

Ondo (ONDO) has retraced from a May push toward the $0.47 swing high back to the $0.34 area, dropping 5.5% over the past 24 hours and more than 16.9% over the prior week.

Ripple's CTO Emeritus David Schwartz said predicting when XRP's escrow could meaningfully deplete is difficult because it depends on how much Ripple uses and how much is later re-escrowed. The article cites XRP Scan data showing 62,053,900,985 XRP in circulation and 32.75B in escrow, with 1 billion XRP unlocking on the first day of each month but a large portion typically being relocked.

Solana (SOL) dropped to around $60 earlier this month and was trading near $63 at the time of writing, down 33% on the month with market cap below $40 billion.

Analysts CrediBULL Crypto and Bobby A said Ethereum (ETH) currently looks like the stronger short-term trade, while XRP could become the better near-term pick if the XRP/ETH ratio falls about 30% to a midrange level.

They also outlined key levels including ETH ranges near $1,550–$1,650, a downside line near $1,380, and potential upside toward $2,500–$2,600, while XRP bulls watched $1.66–$2.00 for a possible breakout.
