El Salvador has made a significant $100 million Bitcoin purchase, increasing its holdings to over 7,474 BTC, despite previous assurances to the IMF under a $1.4 billion loan deal that no new BTC would be acquired. This move raises transparency and compliance concerns, as the IMF had requested limits on Bitcoin purchases to reduce fiscal risks.
Amid this backdrop, DeepSnitch AI has raised over $555,000 in its presale, achieving a 58% rally and positioning itself as a promising altcoin for 2026. The project is developing five AI agents integrated into Telegram, including SnitchFeed for real-time market sentiment and whale movement tracking. Additionally, its staking platform has locked over 13 million DSNT tokens, signaling strong investor interest.
On the institutional front, Franklin Templeton launched its EZRP spot XRP ETF on the CBOE, confirming growing institutional adoption for XRP. However, XRP's price remains volatile, with analysts predicting potential resistance at $2.70 and support near $1.95. Meanwhile, Ethereum holds above $3,000, with BitMine adding 54,156 ETH to its stash, totaling 3.56 million ETH, despite recent ETF outflows of $728 million.
Market sentiment is influenced by warnings from Bitcoin pioneer Nick Szabo about blockchain vulnerabilities, but this has spurred interest in early-stage projects like DeepSnitch AI, which aims for asymmetric gains compared to established coins.
