On 12 March 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission moved to dismiss its civil fraud lawsuit against BitClout and DeSo founder Nader Al-Naji with prejudice, eliminating the possibility of refiling the same claims. The complaint had alleged $257M in unregistered token sales and $7M in investor funds spent on personal items, yet the case concluded with no penalties and no admission of wrongdoing. The outcome aligns with a broader pattern of the SEC scaling back several prominent crypto enforcement actions since 2025.

According to reports citing a forensic review of lobbyist Mauricio Novelli's phone, a draft agreement outlined a $5 million payment structure linked to Argentine President Javier Milei's promotion of the Libra token in February 2025. The note, dated Feb. 11, 2025, reportedly broke the sum into three tranches and referenced crypto entrepreneur Hayden Davis, while a second draft message from Feb. 16, 2025, appeared to script a crisis response after the Libra scandal erupted and the token later crashed after briefly hitting a $4 billion market cap.

An XRP price projection of $48 was recently shared by analyst Ali Martinez, who based the ambitious target on a multi-year triangle pattern and framed it as a potential top for the next bull run. When asked to review this scenario, ChatGPT highlighted that such a move from XRP’s current $1.43 level would imply a roughly 3,300% rally and a market cap comparable to Apple, calling it a multi-cycle long shot. The AI instead laid out more conservative ranges between $3 and $25 under varying bull market conditions, all of which remain far below the $48 mark.
