NFT

NFTs are unique digital identifiers recorded on a blockchain that certify ownership and authenticity of a specific asset. Moving past the "PFP" craze, 2026 NFTs emphasize utility, representing everything from IP rights and digital fashion to RWA titles and event ticketing. This tag explores the technical standards of digital ownership, the growth of NFT marketplaces, and the integration of non-fungible tech into the broader Creator Economy and enterprise solutions.

Former Ripple Director Defends XRP Ledger, Says It Uses Same Block Hash as Bitcoin

Former Ripple Director Defends XRP Ledger, Says It Uses Same Block Hash as Bitcoin

The post Former Ripple Director Defends XRP Ledger, Says It Uses Same Block Hash as Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Matt Hamilton, former Director of Developer Relations at Ripple Labs, claims the XRP Ledger (XRPL) uses a similar hash as Bitcoin (BTC). Hamilton said this in a community debate between Bitcoin maximalists, who believe the coin is the ultimate decentralized digital currency. Why XRPL is a blockchain In an X post, Lightspark CEO and Bitcoin supporter David Marcus argued that BTC has an immutable concept. According to Marcus, individuals cannot recreate Bitcoin by forking. In response, Hamilton argued that Bitcoin is just one stage in the evolution of money. He further noted that newer technologies like XRP can address the limitations of Bitcoin. Why are you keep going on about Brad Garlinghouse? And what makes you think the XRP Ledger is not a blockchain? Transactions are grouped into blocks, each block containing the hash of the prior block, creating and immutable record. It even uses the same block hash and key… — Matt Hamilton (@HammerToe) September 29, 2025 However, Marcus disagreed with Hamilton. He claimed other cryptocurrencies sacrifice decentralization for flexibility, making them less trustworthy as neutral digital money. Hamilton countered Marcus and noted that it is unrealistic for miners to remain in the market after the next two halvings. Marcus dismissed the concerns and said the increase in BTC price, energy cost and fees from L2 networks would lead to new regions and sovereign states joining mining. Still, Hamilton argued XRP is more decentralized as anyone can run a node, just like Bitcoin. He added that it is a blockchain, when an X user argued otherwise. Hamilton emphasized that transactions are grouped into blocks. Each block contains the hash of the prior block, creating an immutable record, and uses similar cryptographic techniques as Bitcoin. Recent XRPL updates The recent discussion about decentralization follows recent updates to the XRP Ledger.…

ChatGPT-5 picks two Bitcoin killers to buy in 2026

ChatGPT-5 picks two Bitcoin killers to buy in 2026

The post ChatGPT-5 picks two Bitcoin killers to buy in 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) has started this week on a positive note, recovering somewhat from a nearly seven-day sell-off and finally trading above $112,000. Despite the renewed momentum, however, the asset now faces stiff competition as a number of altcoins are also posting gains ahead of potential exchange-traded fund (ETF) releases in the following weeks.  With that in mind, Finbold turned to OpenAI’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, ChatGPT-5, to identify two cryptocurrencies most likely to give Bitcoin a run for its money in 2026 Ethereum (ETH) The AI’s first pick was Ethereum (ETH), the most widely used smart contract network spanning decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and tokenization. Its main threat to Bitcoin, however, is the fact that it doubles down as a store of value (via staking) and a utility token, something its counterpart doesn’t offer, ChatGPT argued. While Ethereum might be down on the monthly chart at the time of writing, unlike its rival, it’s actually the better performer year to date (YtD), having gained around 25% as opposed to 20% delivered by “digital gold.” Although there’s no telling whether ETH can outperform BTC in the long run, the AI suggests a fairly strong case for it, given how far the asset has come in the past months, especially in terms of regulatory clarity. This sentiment is also shared by analysts such as Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, who predicted the cryptocurrency price could hit $10,000–$12,000 by year-end, implying a 200% upside. At press time, Ethereum was trading at $4,171, up 3.76% on the day. ETH 24-hour price. Source: Finbold Solana (SOL) The second place was reserved for Solana (SOL), which the AI says has proven itself in high-speed, low-fee execution despite major network hiccups. At the time of writing, SOL was trading at $210.93, up 4.67% over the past…

Solana Technology Inspires XRP Tundra: Revolutionary Presale Offers Two Tokens

Solana Technology Inspires XRP Tundra: Revolutionary Presale Offers Two Tokens

The post Solana Technology Inspires XRP Tundra: Revolutionary Presale Offers Two Tokens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana has long been regarded as one of the fastest and most efficient blockchains in operation. Its ability to process numerous transactions per second at low cost has made it the backbone of many DeFi platforms. That enabled everything from high-frequency swaps to lending protocols. XRP Tundra is now building on that foundation. The project launches TUNDRA-S on Solana to harness the chain’s performance while delivering a presale model focused on individual holders. The result is an ecosystem that merges institutional-grade infrastructure with mechanics, which reward individual holders. Why Solana Became the Base Layer of Choice? Developers choose Solana for one reason above all: speed. The chain delivers near-instant settlement and consistently low transaction fees, critical traits for DeFi operations that rely on constant liquidity. XRP Tundra deploys TUNDRA-S on Solana specifically to ensure staking pools and liquidity functions can operate with the same efficiency. This decision has drawn attention from Solana developers themselves. They note that the project is translating the network’s technical strengths into accessible opportunities for retail participants. Inside Tundra’s Presale Structure The presale is currently in Phase 4, offering TUNDRA-S at $0.068. Every buyer receives a 16% bonus and a free allocation of TUNDRA-X, valued at $0.034. TUNDRA-S powers staking and utility, while TUNDRA-X provides governance and backs reserves. Launch prices are $2.50 for TUNDRA-S and $1.25 for TUNDRA-X. This model ensures participants are not simply speculating; they are acquiring both the operational and governance layers of the system in one entry. Staking That Brings XRP Back to Life For years, XRP holders have had limited ways to earn yield directly on their assets. XRP Tundra introduces Cryo Vaults, where users can stake tokens for lock-up periods ranging from one week to three months. Yields can reach 30% APY, depending on the chosen duration. To make…

Why I’m Still Holding My NFT Even Though Its Value Dropped

Why I’m Still Holding My NFT Even Though Its Value Dropped

I think a lot of people are asking the same question. Remember a few years back when everyone and their grandmother was talking about buying a Bored Ape or a CryptoPunk? It felt like the future, right? I remember seeing friends who’d never even invested in stocks suddenly dropping thousands on digital art. I was right there with them, trying to figure out what was what. My own little experiment started with a piece I absolutely loved, a simple digital drawing I was sure would be my ticket to the moon. I bought it, and for a while, I checked its price every single day. I was so convinced I had found the next big thing. Now, things are different. The hype has definitely cooled down. It feels like the air has been let out of the balloon. So, is NFT dead? I don’t think so, but the way we’re thinking about them is changing. The wild speculation and “get rich quick” schemes have faded, and that’s not a bad thing. For me, I’ve started to see NFTs as more than just a quick flip. They’re becoming a tool, a way to prove ownership of digital assets in a whole new world. I’ve been exploring how they can be used for things like concert tickets, digital fashion, or even proving you attended a virtual event. It’s less about the crazy prices and more about the underlying technology and what it can enable. The story of my little digital drawing is a perfect example. Its value didn’t skyrocket, and I’m not a millionaire from it. But I still have it, and it represents a moment in time for me, a piece of a bigger story about how I’m learning to navigate this space. I think the real value of NFTs is in their utility, not just their price tag. The conversation has shifted from “How much is this worth?” to “What can I do with this?” and that’s a much more sustainable and interesting path forward. It’s less of a frenzy and more of a quiet, steady evolution. Why I’m Still Holding My NFT Even Though Its Value Dropped was originally published in Coinmonks on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story
