The post “XRP and LINK Are Poised for Growth in 2026” Crypto Lawyer Bill Morgan appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

2025 has been full of surprises in the crypto world, from Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs to growing interest in ETFs. Amid all this, some projects are quietly setting themselves up for a big breakthrough next year. Chainlink (LINK) and XRP, in particular, are starting to catch the spotlight.

Crypto lawyer Bill Morgan highlights two key developments that could make these tokens the stars of 2026.

Morgan first began by highlighting Chainlink’s new strategic reserve, a program that buys LINK tokens directly from the market using revenue generated by oracle and network fees.

Morgan compared it to a company share buyback, where demand grows while circulating supply slowly decreases. 

This system does more than just reduce supply — it creates a “flywheel effect”: every new integration and fee collected adds more LINK to the reserve, tightening the available supply for investors and node operators.

As of October 2025, the Chainlink Reserve holds over 586,641 LINK, valued at nearly $10.3 million.

Evernorth’s XRP Treasury: A Faster, Institutional Catalyst

Meanwhile, the second major development Morgan pointed out is the launch of Evernorth, a new NASDAQ-listed company that manages an institutional-level XRP treasury.

Unlike traditional reserves that simply hold tokens, Evernorth plans to put its XRP to work, lending it to institutions, joining DeFi programs, and using the yield it earns to buy even more XRP.

This approach makes Evernorth’s strategy active rather than passive. By continuously reinvesting the yield to expand its XRP holdings, the company could help absorb new supply, balance Ripple’s escrow releases, and gradually reduce the amount of XRP in circulation over time.

In Morgan’s view, these two developments show how mature the crypto market is becoming. Chainlink and XRP are positioning themselves for strong growth in 2026 through smart supply management and real-world adoption. 

Both projects link token demand to actual revenue and institutional support, creating a supply shock that could boost value.

As of now, XRP is trading around $2.44, while Link is hovering around $17.77, reflecting a jump of 3% seen in the last 24 hours.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
