XRP, BTC Lead Crypto Market Revival as Bulls Regain Control
Cryptocurrency markets are showing renewed signs of bullish momentum, with XRP and Bitcoin leading a broad-based recovery. Six of the top 10 non-stablecoin tokens now trade above their 200-day moving averages - a key technical indicator favored by institutional analysts.
The 200-day SMA breach suggests strengthening investor confidence after months of sideways trading. TradingView data confirms XRP, BTC, BNB, ADA, TRX, and SUI have all established positions above this critical threshold, while ETH, SOL, Doge and LINK lag behind.
This marks significant progress from late April when only three tokens maintained such positions. The expanding breadth of participation indicates growing institutional interest and sets the stage for potential sustained upside across major digital assets.
ICON Rebrands to SODAX and Migrates to Sonic Network in Strategic Pivot
ICON (ICX), once dubbed the "Korean Ethereum," has rebranded as SODAX and abandoned its Layer-1 blockchain in favor of Sonic, an EVM-compatible network optimized for speed and low-cost transactions. The move marks a stark departure from its earlier ambitions during the 2018 ICO boom, when it vied with projects like Tron and Filecoin for dominance.
Founder Min Kim framed the shift as a pragmatic response to market realities. "Running an independent blockchain became unsustainable," he told CoinDesk. The migration to Sonic—itself a rebranded entity formerly known as Fantom—prioritizes interoperability and cost efficiency over ideological purity.
The decision underscores the brutal Darwinism of crypto infrastructure plays. Layer-1 projects without Ethereum-level network effects increasingly face consolidation or obsolescence. For SODAX, survival now hinges on riding Ethereum’s coattails via EVM compatibility rather than maintaining a standalone chain.
