Jakarta, Pintu News – The crypto market is heating up again with a number of significant developments. From the launch of smart contracts on XRP Ledger to Robert Kiyosaki’s fantastic Bitcoin price prediction, as well as the massive sale of Dogecoin by whales.

XRP Ledger is now introducing native Layer-1 smart contract capabilities to developers via AlphaNet. Denis Angell, a software engineer at XRPL Labs and Xahau, announced that XRP Ledger’s Smart Contract features are now available for developers to explore and test.
This is the first milestone to introduce Layer-1 smart contract capabilities natively to the XRP Ledger, combining EVM-style contracts with native XRPL features and transactions. These smart contracts will allow developers to build decentralized applications on XRP Ledger.
The first extension called “Smart Escrows” will allow developers to write custom release conditions to open escrow. The plan is to launch this feature in the first quarter of 2026.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, has again predicted a major crash in the financial markets. However, he sees this as an opportunity to buy, not sell. Kiyosaki has set price targets for 2026 of $27,000 for gold, $250,000 for Bitcoin , $100 for silver, and $60 for Ethereum .
The prediction for Ethereum caused some confusion as Ethereum hasn’t traded in double digits in recent years. Kiyosaki explained that he started buying gold in 1971, when Nixon lifted gold’s backing against the dollar.

More than 3 billion Dogecoin (DOGE), worth around $520 million, have been sold by large holders in just 30 days. On-chain data from Santiment, shared by analyst Ali Martinez, shows that wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million DOGE have sold more than 3 billion coins over the last month.
This happened just as the Dogecoin rally was winding down. After reaching a peak near $0.30 in September, the Dogecoin price dropped to $0.17, erasing almost half of its value. This drop in whale balances is in line with the price drop, suggesting that it’s the big sellers, not the small ones, that are driving the liquidity of the sale.
With the various developments taking place in the crypto market, investors and developers should keep a close eye on the trends and changes taking place. Whether it’s the launch of smart contracts on XRP Ledger, price predictions by well-known personalities, or whale selling activity, these all paint a dynamic and ever-changing picture of the crypto market.
