Williams — an experienced hand in federal government circles, having worked in congressional offices and in an earlier stint at the Treasury — was named by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in February to head up the extended list of crypto efforts. The department was at the center of the president's digital assets agenda, including his call for a bitcoin reserve to be set up at the federal level.

As Congress embarked on a two-pronged push into major crypto legislation — the larger effort to institute regulations for the whole crypto industry and a secondary bill to establish oversight for U.S. stablecoin issuers — Williams was on the front lines to work with the relevant congressional offices. It was the stablecoin legislation that caught on first.

"If we can put a regulatory wrapper around it in a way that allows states and bank regulators and all the ecosystems to live in the same rulebook to be an issuer, I think that's a pretty good outcome for D.C.," he said at one event in Washington, and a few months later, that goal came to pass. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS) Act became the law of the land, with the Treasury Department among those working on implementing it.

Williams had argued a few weeks into the job that his very existence in the department was a positive sign for the crypto sector, because its needs were now a priority. And he's had a counterpart at the White House — a crypto point person that was at first Bo Hines but is now Patrick Witt, working underneath crypto czar David Sacks.

They're the officials directly responsible for ushering in what Trump has promised will be a "golden era" for digital assets.

Egrag Crypto: XRP Could be Around $6 or $7 by Mid-November Based on this Analysis

Egrag Crypto forecasts XRP reaching $6 to $7 by November. Fractal pattern analysis suggests a significant XRP price surge soon. XRP poised for potential growth based on historical price patterns. The cryptocurrency community is abuzz after renowned analyst Egrag Crypto shared an analysis suggesting that XRP could reach $6 to $7 by mid-November. This prediction is based on the study of a fractal pattern observed in XRP’s past price movements, which the analyst believes is likely to repeat itself in the coming months. According to Egrag Crypto, the analysis hinges on fractal patterns, which are used in technical analysis to identify recurring market behavior. Using the past price charts of XRP, the expert has found a certain fractal that looks similar to the existing market structure. The trend indicates that XRP will soon experience a great increase in price, and the asset will probably reach the $6 or $7 range in mid-November. The chart shared by Egrag Crypto points to a rising trend line with several Fibonacci levels pointing to key support and resistance zones. This technical structure, along with the fractal pattern, is the foundation of the price forecast. As XRP continues to follow the predicted trajectory, the analyst sees a strong possibility of it reaching new highs, especially if the fractal behaves as expected.

Egrag Crypto’s focus on a yellow fractal pattern in XRP’s price charts is central to the current forecast. Having contrasted the market scenario at the current period and how it was at an earlier time, the analyst has indicated that XRP might revert to the same price scenario that occurred at a later cycle in the past. Egrag Crypto’s forecast of $6 to $7 is based not just on the fractal pattern but also on broader market trends and technical indicators. The Fibonacci retracements and extensions will also give more insight into the price levels that are likely to be experienced in the coming few weeks. With mid-November in sight, XRP investors and traders will be keeping a close eye on the market to see if Egrag Crypto’s analysis is true. If the price targets are reached, XRP could experience one of its most significant rallies in recent history.
