XRP Takes the Lead as Bitcoin Hovers Near $115K Markets Eye Fed & Trump Tariffs
Crypto markets began the week on shaky ground after Trump’s new tariffs and the Fed’s reluctance to cut rates spooked investors but XRP stole the spotlight, rallying nearly 5% to top Monday’s gains.
Key Market Pressures
$1B outflows from Bitcoin ETFs last week
Ether lost $152M in ETF flows breaking a month-long inflow streak
BTC dropped near $114K, ETH hovered above $3,550
What’s Supporting the Market:
Institutional liquidity helping cushion the drop
Opportunistic buyers stepping in ahead of U.S. markets open
Altcoins like XRP, DOGE, ADA, SOL also seeing momentum
This would have been a messier unwind in the pre-ETF era, said SignalPlus Head of Insights.
ETF buyers are still cautious, keeping broader sentiment tentative as BTC remains below the $118K breakout zone.
All eyes on macro trends, ETF flows, and the Fed's next move.
DYOR. Before taking any decision.
