  • Story traded at lows of around $2.12 on Monday but has since staged a sharp recovery.
  • IP rose to above $2.65, with trading volume spiking over 400% to $198 million.
  • Buyers may ride bullish sentiment to target $3 or higher.

IP, the native token of the Story Protocol, has outperformed top altcoins in the past 24 hours.

At the time of writing, the token’s price had pumped by more than 22% to its highest level since early December 2025.

Other coins seeing notable gains include Monero, Canton and Aerodrome Finance. Ethereum targets $3,500 as price holds key level.

Story is a layer-1 blockchain project focused on tokenizing and making intellectual property programmable for creators in the AI era, leading this pack.

Its gains come amid broader upside moves for privacy-focused altcoins, and the IP price was up amid a more than 400% increase in daily trading volume.

IP price breaks above $2.50 on mega volume

As noted, the Story token has experienced a breakout moment.

But as its price decisively broke above the $2.50 level, buyers did so on a significantly higher 24-hour trading volume.

With bulls breaching $2.10,  the asset soared to above $2.65. Data showed trading volume exploded by more than 450% to $198 million.

The surge reflects strong bullish momentum, and IP could extend its upward trajectory toward the $3 mark. Bulls see the level as a psychological barrier and a breakout might allow for new gains.

From a technical perspective, the token trades above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $2.31, providing solid support for further advances.

If broader top cryptocurrencies flip decisively positive, IP could see additional rally potential.

However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart stands at 73 and in the overbought zone.

This suggests a potential retreat as profit-taking emerges. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows indecisiveness, with the histogram showing increased weakness.

Story gains as Monero leads top altcoins higher

As the chart below shows, IP has posted impressive gains today.

The fresh bullish wave to highs of $2.65, with the token pumping more than 22% in 24 hours, aligned with notable upticks for several other cryptocurrencies.

Monero (XMR) led privacy coins higher as XMR price hovered near $600 in a strong rally.

As the coin gathered pace, coins that had dumped in recent sessions, including Zcash (ZEC), also rose. The token is looking to ignore developer turmoil to recover and was up 5% to above $410.

Monero and Zcash remain top privacy coins, but with regulatory scrutiny, such as Dubai’s ban, putting the tokens into the spotlight.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
