Highlighting what went right, and what went wrong, in this week’s crypto news analysis.

Ripple is understandably the biggest story of the week, with 90% gains already recorded today and no end in sight to the climb. We’ve included a link to the most up to date technical analysis below, but the way XRP is moving right now it will be obsolete before you can even scroll down to it.

The SEC has also been busy clarifying comments on Ethereum and requesting more public consultation on the VanEck ETF application.  Unfortunately there was also another major theft to report.  Yet again highlighting the perils of relying on hot wallets.
