The article reviews three cryptocurrencies that are down 30% or more this year: XRP, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. The author sees XRP, with a market cap of about $82.4 billion and ties to Ripple and its RLUSD stablecoin, as worth a small speculative position, though any boost to token demand from network activity is hard to predict. Dogecoin (market cap about $13.5 billion, down about 34% this year) and Shiba Inu (market cap just under $3 billion, down about 31%) are described as lacking clear technical advantages, and the author does not see either as a suitable choice at this time.

- Better Buy Right Now: Bitcoin vs. Shiba Inu
The article compares Bitcoin and Shiba Inu and concludes Bitcoin is the better buy, citing its fixed supply of 21 million coins, an inflation rate cut in half roughly every four years, and growing institutional involvement. The iShares Bitcoin Trust, the largest such ETF, has $66 billion in assets, and the Czech National Bank became the first central bank to buy Bitcoin for its reserves. Shiba Inu had explosive growth in 2021 and now trades 94% below its peak, though supporters point to its Shibarium layer-2 network, ShibaSwap exchange and a metaverse launched in early 2025. The author notes 714 million tokens were burned in the last 30 days against 589 trillion in circulation. Over three years, Bitcoin rose 212% while Shiba Inu fell 23%, and the author advises investors to stick with proven assets and avoid excessive risk chasing quick gains.
- Better Buy Right Now: Bitcoin vs. Shiba Inu
The article compares Bitcoin and Shiba Inu, and the author concludes Bitcoin is the better buy. Bitcoin, with a $1.7 trillion market cap, is presented as a long-term asset because of its fixed supply of 21 million coins, issuance halving roughly every four years, and spot Bitcoin ETF approvals in early 2024, with the iShares Bitcoin Trust alone holding $66 billion in assets. Shiba Inu is described as a meme token viewed mainly as speculative, trading 94% below its end-2021 level as of Oct. 12, despite an ecosystem that includes Shibarium, ShibaSwap and a metaverse, while 714 million tokens were burned in the last 30 days out of 589 trillion outstanding. Over the past three years, Bitcoin rose 212% while Shiba Inu fell 23%, which the author cites as a reason to stick with the proven asset and avoid excessive risk.
- Should You Buy Dogecoin While It's Below $1?
The article argues Dogecoin, down 32% in 2026 as of writing, struggles to shed its meme-coin image even after the Dogecoin Foundation created Dogecoin Labs on October 21 to combine DogeOS, MyDoge and Such App. The author notes that Dogechain, launched in 2025, drew negligible total value locked and shut down earlier this year, and that DOGE payments at businesses owned by Elon Musk have not reached scale. New spot Dogecoin ETFs have seen little investor inflow, suggesting limited institutional support, so price action depends mainly on retail investors. The author considers a move to $1 highly improbable, with the coin trading at a 90% discount to its all-time high.
- Dogecoin Price Prediction: Can DOGE Get Back to $0.10 by the End of 2026?
Dogecoin (DOGE) trades at $0.082, down about 35% since the start of the year and 88.8% below its all-time high. It must rise 22.1% to reclaim $0.10, a level it last closed at, $0.1004, in September. The price sits about 7% below its 50-day average of roughly $0.0882, nears a death cross, and trading volume has faded since September's rally. Bitcoin is at $83,316, and the Federal Reserve raised rates in September with another hike expected in December, both adding pressure on DOGE. The article concludes that DOGE is unlikely to reach $0.10 before the end of 2026; a daily close below $0.0777 could renew selling toward support near $0.0695.
- Dogecoin Price Prediction : Can DOGE Get Back to $0 . 10 by the End of 2026 ?
DOGE trades at $0.082, up 3.2% in 24 hours but down 11% over 30 days and about 35% year-to-date, so it needs a 22.1% rise to return to $0.10. The price sits about 7% below its 50-day average of around $0.0882, a death cross signal is forming, and trading volume has faded since the September rally. Bitcoin is down 5.1% year-to-date and DOGE has lagged it over 60 days, while the Federal Reserve raised rates in September and is expected to hike again in December. The article concludes that a move to $0.10 before year-end looks unlikely, with $0.0777 as recent support and $0.0695 as the next level. It cites Polymarket odds of 10.7% for DOGE reaching $0.16 in 2026 and 37.5% for a fall to $0.06.
- Dogecoin Gets a Dedicated Company to Build Out Its Ecosystem
Dogecoin Labs was launched with the Dogecoin Foundation to consolidate the meme coin's scattered products, intellectual property and development teams into one independent company led by CEO Jordan Jefferson. It will run three flagship products: the MyDoge wallet, the DogeOS app platform and Such App, a merchant-payments tool, aiming to close the gap between Dogecoin's large community and its small number of real apps. DogeOS opened its public testnet on Sept. 30, and MyDoge has grown past 500,000 users. DOGE traded around $0.084, up 3.9% on the day, but was down about 14% over the past month.

- Ripple Wins Final OCC Approval for Trust Bank Behind $2.6B RLUSD Stablecoin
The OCC has granted Ripple final approval to open Ripple National Trust Bank, 10 months after conditionally approving the charter in December 2025. The bank will manage the reserves backing the RLUSD stablecoin, act as collateral trustee for holders, and offer fiduciary digital asset custody to enterprises. RLUSD will still be issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, which is regulated by the New York DFS, so the stablecoin will fall under both state and federal supervision. The approval comes as community banks challenge the OCC's crypto charters in court, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren has called the charters illegal. According to CoinGecko, RLUSD has a market capitalization of about $2.6 billion.

- JPMorgan Chase Says That Bitcoin Will Outperform Stocks, Bonds, and Gold Over the Next 10 Years. Here's Why It Might Be Right
A new report from the asset management arm of JPMorgan Chase projects that Bitcoin could return 10% annually over the next 10 years in its base case, versus 7.5% for U.S. large-cap stocks, 5.6% for broad U.S. bonds and 5.5% for gold. The projection rests on three drivers: Bitcoin's slowing supply growth relative to global money growth (65% weight), its inclusion in portfolios alongside scarce store-of-value assets such as gold (30%), and rising network activity. Under this model, the coin would be priced at about $211,130 by 2036, compared with $81,300 as of Oct. 26; the bear case calls for an 11.2% annual loss and the bull case a 16.6% annual gain. The bank expects volatility of 55% in all scenarios and describes Bitcoin as 'a speculative asset and a hedge against monetary easing.' The article says these forecasts are conservative relative to Bitcoin's 63% 10-year compound annual growth rate but appear reasonable.
- Microsoft announces voluntary buyouts for 60,000 employees worldwide
Microsoft has announced a voluntary buyout programme for about 60,000 employees, more than a quarter of its global workforce, to manage expenses and support ongoing AI investments, according to Reuters.

The company has a reported forecast of $175bn in capital expenditures for calendar 2026, and it employed 223,000 full-time staff as of 30 June 2026.
- Zcash co-founder calls to stop funding 'over $125M' grants program
Zcash co-founder Sean Bowe has proposed ending the automatic funding stream to Zcash Community Grants (ZCG), saying the program already holds over $125M and that its treasury is large enough to keep funding projects without further automatic payments. A draft GitHub proposal would redirect ZCG's 8% share of the ZEC block subsidy to the network's sustainability reserve until the current funding period ends in 2028, leaving existing funds untouched. According to ZCG's dashboard, it held 91,453 ZEC and $8.8 million in cash, with $2.4 million in outstanding grant commitments, and the ZEC holdings alone were worth about $111 million at press time. Earlier, in September, Haseeb Qureshi of Dragonfly proposed ending the Zcash developer fund when its current funding period expires, warning that it risks being 'politicized' as it approaches $100 million in value.
