"Saylor's XRP Support Shakes Crypto Market; Bitcoin's Volatility Persists; SHIB Burn Surge"

Crypto Market Shifts: Saylor's Stance on XRP, Bitcoin's Bearish Signals, and SHIB's Massive Burn

In a surprising turn of events, Michael Saylor, the co-founder of Strategy, has expressed support for a multi-token cryptocurrency reserve that includes XRP.

Over the past seven days, 122,135,883 SHIB have been destroyed, bringing the total of eliminated SHIB tokens to 410,744,744,227,515 SHIB. The burning efforts seem to have slightly helped the asset's recovery, with SHIB trading up 3.77% at press time, with its value standing at $0.00001304. Bitcoin's recent upturn has also
