Analysts debate XRP vs ETH as XRP/ETH ratio 30% drop could flip the near-term call
Analysts CrediBULL Crypto and Bobby A said Ethereum (ETH) currently looks like the stronger short-term trade, while XRP could become the better near-term pick if the XRP/ETH ratio falls about 30% to a midrange level. At press time, ETH traded just above $1,600 (down 3% in 24 hours and 31% over 30 days) while XRP hovered around $1.11 (down 5% on the day and nearly 24% in the past month). They also outlined key levels including ETH ranges near $1,550–$1,650, a downside line near $1,380, and potential upside toward $2,500–$2,600, while XRP bulls watched $1.66–$2.00 for a possible breakout.

Mastercard unveils Agent Pay for Machines protocol to enable AI agent payments

The company says more than 30 firms such as Stripe, Coinbase, and Cloudflare are early partners, with agent permissions recorded on Polygon, Solana, and Base. Executives described AP4M as a longer-term push into machine-to-machine commerce rather than a near-term revenue driver.
