【Crypto World】Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz recently praised the complete formal specification of the XRPL payment engine released by Common Prefix. This specification is seen as a key infrastructure for future formal verification— in other words, the security and reliability of XRPL are being backed by more solid technical guarantees.

On the other hand, the price trend of SHIB is also affecting market sentiment. It is approaching the critical support level of $0.00000678, which coincides with the low point created during “Black Friday” in 2025. If this support fails to hold, further pressure may follow.

Looking at Bitcoin, the current trading price is around $87,283. Interestingly, it is still oscillating below the middle band of the monthly Bollinger Bands (approximately $88,903). If the bearish momentum continues, the lower band of $52,256 could become the next target for the bears. From a technical perspective, it’s important to keep an eye on these key levels.

If this support level for SHIB breaks, the shitcoins will cry again... What is BTC doing at this price level, falling so sharply?

Coming back to formal specifications? Sounds impressive, but what I care about most is whether I can make money haha SHIB is about to break support again. Every time they say support levels, but it still keeps dropping, so annoying Bitcoin at this position doesn't dare to move either. Just wait and see the monthly lower band; that's when the real test will come

What is XRPL doing with formal specifications again? It sounds impressive, but can it actually increase the price? --- Is shib really about to break? I feel hopeless at the 0.00000678 level. --- BTC swings around 87k, but the monthly lower band is only 52k... this range is outrageous. --- Formal verification is nice, but the market still depends on technicals to see if it can recover. --- Shib approaching support levels, so it needs to run away; it's not necessary to hold on stubbornly. --- Ripple releases standards again, so what? XRP's market action indeed shows no movement. --- The Bollinger Bands on the monthly chart are so wide, BTC is actually more dangerous.

XRPL's recent formalization standards are really impressive; security is on point. However, whether Ripple can seize the opportunity to break through is the real key. Once SHIB breaks that support level, I'll be laughing—it's going to drop again and feed the dogs. Bitcoin is still hovering below the midline. Should I take a gamble and see if 52k will really come?

XRPL formalization standards? Sounds like another sign that a big rally is coming. Every time there's a technical breakthrough, the price drops... Can SHIB's 0.00000678 really hold? I bet it won't, and then a bunch of people will be shouting to buy the dip.

XRPL's formal specs sound nice on paper, but we all know how this story usually ends... remember when everyone swore their audits were "airtight"? security theater hits different when it's ur bags on the line tbh
