Morning Crypto Report: Ripple Legend Co-Signs Binance Twist, 'Digital Silver' Litecoin Raises Halving Alarm, Xrp Price Enters 'Crocodile' Zone

The cryptocurrency market remained steady Thursday ahead of the final U.S. GDP report for Q3 2025, with Bitcoin trading around $89,900 after recent volatility, and Ethereum leading major altcoins above $3,010. XRP is up 3% to $1.96, holding just below key price resistance, while traders brace for potential market shifts driven by GDP and inflation data.

Litecoin has begun the countdown to its next halving event scheduled for 2027, which will reduce block rewards to 3.125 LTC. Historically, LTC has seen rallies before previous halvings followed by post-event corrections, with diminishing returns suggesting weakening market response, though its fixed supply offers a contrast to inflationary tokens.

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is now live on Binance, confirmed by former Ripple CTO David Schwartz. The listing fills the final major liquidity gap for RLUSD, which now trades on 16 platforms and could enhance XRP's ecosystem by providing greater access to stablecoin liquidity across Ripple-integrated networks.
