$BTC $XRP $ETH Bitcoin surged 3%, Ethereum jumped 12%, and XRP climbed 8% after the announcement, signaling a renewed investor appetite for digital assets. Lower borrowing costs and the prospect of rate cuts create an environment where speculative assets like cryptocurrencies become more attractive.

$XRP After years of regulatory uncertainty, XRP now operates with far greater clarity in the U.S., following the joint dismissal of appeals by the SEC and Ripple in August 2025.
