3 Reasons Why Shiba Inu (SHIB) Could be on the Verge of a Price Rally

Mentions of the word "cryptocurrency" in SEC filings hit an all-time high of 786 in April, a 38% jump from 569 in March and an 8% increase year over year from 727 in April 2024. Between January 2024 and March 2025, the monthly average was 457.

The spike suggests that federal agencies are dedicating more attention and resources to digital assets, likely in anticipation of new frameworks or forthcoming guidance from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The hope is that increased regulatory engagement will lead to clearer, more consistent rules that support long-term industry growth and boost institutional confidence.

Mentions of "stablecoins" also surged in recent months. Between January 2024 and January 2025, SEC filings referenced the term an average of 48 times per month. But from February to April 2025, that figure more than doubled to an average of 103 monthly mentions, with 81 in February, 124 in March, and 104 in April.

The rise in stablecoin mentions reflects heightened regulatory interest in reserve standards and consumer protections. If formalized, these measures could help increase trust and expand both enterprise and retail adoption.

Altogether, crypto is evolving from a niche asset into a key component of corporate risk management and investor relations, reinforcing its growing legitimacy across institutional and regulatory sectors.

Ripple is pledging $25 million in RLUSD to support teachers in the US. The firm partnered with DonorsChoose and Teach for America, two major nonprofits in the education sector.

Technically, the donation does not entirely consist of Ripple’s stablecoin, but the exact split is uncertain. A post from DonorsChoose suggests that $10 million may be in fiat.

Ripple Spends RLUSD on Education

Teacher Appreciation Week is kicking off in the US, and the threat of cuts to education funding is growing. In this environment, Ripple identified a chance to make a meaningful contribution with RLUSD, its new stablecoin.

According to a press release from the firm, its $25 million in funding will help teachers in a few key ways.

To be clear, this donation doesn’t seem to go to any sort of blockchain-specific education. In the short term, Ripple’s press release claims that the RLUSD will support all-purpose education resources across public schools.

Later, the partners will also “support new initiatives focused on financial literacy,” but this seems like a more long-term goal.

DonorsChoose’s announcement prominently credited Ripple’s RLUSD contribution but also mentioned Good Morning America, a television program, and Eli Manning, a famous football player.

In other words, it might not be easy to prioritize financial literacy and other economics-centric education if other major donors aren’t as interested.

DonorsChoose also mentions $10 million in funding, not $25 million. Ripple’s press release states that most of the grant will be delivered in RLUSD, but it doesn’t go into specifics. The nonprofit might be indicating that $10 million was the proportion donated in fiat.

In any event, this is not Ripple’s first major charitable donation using RLUSD. In January, the firm pledged $50,000 to fight wildfires in California, but $25 million is a much larger contribution.

The massive increase in scale may reflect an increased focus on PR; for example, the firm has outwardly portrayed RLUSD as compliant with impending stablecoin regulations.

Between the SEC lawsuit getting dropped and XRP ETF optimism, Ripple is on a roll right now. This RLUSD donation has received wide praise from the crypto community, and may boost Ripple’s notoriety in the future.

As seen on the official social media post from DonorsChoose, several community members, even outside of the crypto industry, are praising Ripple for their philanthropic efforts.

• The Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio at 1.74 acts as a historical support zone, signaling cooling unrealized gains and potential for future growth.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) market dynamics are shifting, as Glassnode data reveals that 88% of the supply is currently in profit, with losses concentrated among buyers in the $95,000-$100,000 range. This high profitability, rebounding from a long-term mean of 75%, indicates a reset in investor expectations.

Goldfinch and Fidu are set to announce their biggest partner integration yet, making investors excited about the potential impact on price. Partnerships usually bring new resources, increased adoption, and added credibility. These can lead to higher demand and price increases. However, the true impact depends on the partner’s identity and the specifics of the collaboration. If the partner is a major player, this could be a big boost for both FIDU and GFI. Keep an eye on the announcement for more details. source

Space and Time (SXT) will be listed on Binance Alpha, a major step for any cryptocurrency because Binance is one of the largest exchanges. This listing can significantly boost SXT’s visibility and liquidity, potentially driving its price higher. Early access and promotions linked to Binance Alpha Points could further enhance demand. However, price impact will also depend on wider market conditions and early investor reactions. A listing often brings an initial price spike, so keeping watch on trading patterns could be important for traders. source

CopXToken (COPX) is getting listed on CoinUp.io, bringing it to a broader audience. Listings can drive new interest and purchases of the token due to increased accessibility and trading ease. CoinUp.io might not be as large as Binance, but it still can attract traders seeking new opportunities. If the token catches traders' interest, its price might rise. However, if demand doesn’t pick up or is overwhelmed by sellers taking profits, any price increase could be short-lived. Traders should monitor trading volumes and market sentiment post-listing. source
