Quick overview
Ripple's recent consolidation phase may be ending, with signs of a potential breakout driven by XRP ETF optimism.
After a significant rally in late 2024, XRP experienced a pullback but has recently bounced back above $2.20, indicating bullish momentum.
The launch of the world's first XRP spot ETF in Brazil could further enhance market sentiment, with predictions of a U.S. ETF approval adding to the optimism.
Traders should monitor the $2.20–$2.50 range, as a breakout could lead to new all-time highs and possibly a target of $5.
It looks like Ripple’s decline is nearing its end, opening the door for a potential breakout in the XRP ETF propelled by confidence.

Ripple Recovery: End of the Correction Phase?
After a massive surge at the end of 2024, Ripple (XRP) has spent the early months of 2025 in a consolidation and correction phase. However, signs are emerging that the pullback might be over, with broader bullish momentum ready to resume.

Ripple’s historic rally began before Donald Trump’s return to the White House, as XRP skyrocketed from around $0.50 in November 2024 to an intraday high near $3.39 by mid-January — a gain of over 300%. This breakout was primarily driven by renewed optimism after a critical win for Ripple in its ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

XRP Rallies on Pro-Shares Futures ETF Approvals
Reports of the SEC greenlighting the launch of three XRP Futures ETFs drove XRP demand on Sunday, April 27. ProShares will launch the ProShares UltraShort XRP ETF, ProShares Ultra XRP ETF, and ProShares Short XRP ETF on Wednesday, April 30.
Notably, these are futures ETFs, not spot ETFs, meaning the ETFs will give investors exposure to XRP without directly holding the token. The ETFs will invest in XRP futures contracts, swaps, and cash balances in money market instruments, including US Treasuries.
Nevertheless, the crypto community responded positively to the news.

Bitcoin Rally Ahead? These Indicators Say Yes
According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post published today, BTC is showing multiple short-term bullish signals, fuelling optimism that a breakout above $90,000 could be imminent.

Related Reading: Bitcoin Undervalued? Analyst Breaks Down Bullish On-Chain Metrics
In their analysis, CryptoQuant contributor EgyHash highlighted two key indicators that hint at bullish reversal for the apex cryptocurrency. First, the contributor outlined BTC’s Exchange Inflow metric.

EgyHash noted that exchange inflows – the amount of BTC being deposited into exchanges – have dropped significantly in recent months. Since peaking at 120,000 in November 2024, the metric has seen a sharp decline, suggesting that holders are choosing not to move their BTC to exchanges, thereby potentially reducing sell pressure.

The chart below shows a consistent drop in exchange inflows since November 2024, despite BTC’s price gains in December 2024 and January 2025. As of now, exchange inflows sit around 9,300.

ei

In addition, EgyHash pointed out that Bitcoin’s open interest has surged by $6 billion over the past two weeks. This rise has been accompanied by a positive shift in funding rates, signalling a bullish market outlook.

funding rates
To explain, a rise in open interest shows that more money is flowing into BTC futures or perpetual contracts, indicating increased trader participation and confidence. Similarly, positive funding rates suggest that long positions – bets on BTC price going up – are dominant, and traders are willing to pay a premium to hold these positions.

That said, there is some caution to be considered here. If the BTC derivatives market becomes too leveraged, then it may increase the risk of a sharp price correction due to mass liquidations.

#USChinaTensions
WASHINGTON (TNND) — Tensions between the United States and China are intensifying, with recent developments extending beyond the ongoing trade war. The State Department has accused Beijing of escalating military moves against the U.S., raising concerns about the potential for conflict.

In recent weeks, tariffs on Chinese goods have surged from 54% to 145%. President Donald Trump expressed optimism about reaching an agreement, saying, "I think we will make a deal with China."

US-China tensions escalate beyond trade war (TNND)

According to a notice in the Federal Registry, the U.S. is considering imposing charges on Chinese ships docking at American ports. This measure is set to begin in 180 days and will increase incrementally.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized the importance of the American consumer to China, stating, "China wants what we have; what every country wants, what we have - the American consumer. Or to put another way, they need our money."

China, however, is not backing down and has curbed exports of rare earth minerals, which are crucial for products ranging from computer hard drives to jet engines.

Thomas Kruemmer, editor at the Rare Earth Observer, highlighted the significance of these minerals, saying, "Everything I can switch on and off would not really work without rare earths."

#BTCRebound
Bitcoin rallied to its highest level since Donald Trump’s tariff announcements in early April as the dollar slumped amid renewed fears over the US president’s efforts to remove Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

The largest cryptocurrency by market value jumped about 3.9% to top $88,400 on Monday morning in New York, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That erased almost all of the losses sustained since Trump’s April 2 reciprocal tariff announcement, which plunged global markets into turmoil.

The rebound comes as the dollar and US stocks slid on Monday after the president’s criticism of the Federal Reserve raised concerns over its independence. A gauge of the dollar hit its lowest point since January 2024 after the National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said Friday that Trump is studying whether he’s able to fire Powell.

“USD weakness is driving the rally in crypto,” said Sean McNulty, derivatives trading lead of APAC at digital-asset prime brokerage FalconX. He added, however, that “thin holiday liquidity” in crypto markets “is causing the move to be exaggerated.” While US markets are open, Monday is a holiday in many nations.

Ethereum price today: $1,580
Ethereum ETFs have seen over a 60% decline in total net assets.
Justin Sun said Tron will not sell its ETH holdings amid a drop in prices.
Galaxy Digital has deposited $79.37 million worth of ETH to Binance and Coinbase over the past five days.
ETH has maintained a downtrend since December amid oversold conditions in technical indicators.
Ethereum (ETH) traded just below $1,600 on Thursday following a 60% plunge in the total net assets of US spot Ether ETFs. Meanwhile, Tron founder Justin Sun said that he won't sell his ETH holdings despite the sustained downtrend in the top altcoin’s price.

Sun weighs in on Ethereum's decline amid heightened ETH ETF outflows
US spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued their negative flows on Wednesday after shedding $12.01 million, per SoSoValue data.

Since Trump’s tariffs went live, ETH ETFs have seen a net outflow of $909 million. ETH's weak price has also caused their total net assets to plummet by over 60%, going from an all-time high of $14.28 billion in December to $5.25 billion on Wednesday. The sustained outflows signal increased institutional risk-off sentiment, hampering ETH's price growth.

#TrumpVsPowell
President Trump this week revived a longstanding threat against Jerome H. Powell when he accused the Federal Reserve chair of “playing politics” and moving too slowly to lower interest rates. But privately, according to people close to Mr. Trump, the president has for months been aware that trying to oust Mr. Powell could inject more volatility into jittery financial markets.

Investors are already uneasy after a period of tumult due to a blitz of tariffs announced by the administration this month. Undermining the political independence of the Fed, which is seen as critical across Wall Street, could risk a much more significant financial panic.

“If I want him out, he’ll be out of there real fast, believe me,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office of the White House on Thursday when asked about Mr. Powell. The warning came on the heels of an early morning social media post in which Mr. Trump said, “Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!”

Mr. Trump’s advisers have repeatedly told him that firing Mr. Powell is both legally and financially fraught — and that the uncertainty could cause a significant downturn in financial markets. Mr. Trump, at least for the moment, has seemed persuaded, the people said.

For months, Mr. Trump has privately fretted about the prospect of a Great Depression-scale event’s happening on his watch — a scenario he shorthands in conversations as “1929.” But the events of the past two weeks so alarmed some of Mr. Trump’s closest advisers, including his Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, that Mr. Trump himself seems to have absorbed how close they came to a financial meltdown.

Mr. Trump’s decision at the beginning of the month to announce historic tariffs on nearly all of the country’s trading partners and aggressively escalate his global trade war sent financial markets into a tailspin. Stocks plummeted, and an alarming sell-off in U.S. government bonds and the dollar fanned fears that the country.

Canada To Launch 4 Spot Solana ETFs on April 16, Beating U.S. to Market

Wed, April 16, 2025 at 6:07 AM GMT+5 2 min read
Four asset managers—Purpose, Evolve, CI, and 3iQ—are set to launch spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in Canada on April 16. These funds will trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, following approval from the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC). The ETFs will feature staking of Solana (SOL), which could result in higher yields compared to Ether staking. This approval marks the first instance of spot Solana ETFs and comes as part of Canada's regulatory update, which allows for crypto-related investment products to be publicly traded.
The OSC’s green light for these ETFs follows regulatory changes that were outlined in January, allowing publicly traded funds to hold cryptocurrencies. While these ETFs are being introduced in Canada, the U.S. has yet to approve similar products for Solana. In the U.S., multiple firms, including Grayscale, Bitwise, and VanEck, have submitted applications to launch spot Solana ETFs, but they are still awaiting approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Unlike in Canada, U.S. crypto ETFs are currently not allowed to stake digital assets like Solana for additional yield.
The OSC’s approval is seen as a significant move in the altcoin ETF market. Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst for Bloomberg, pointed out that these upcoming funds would offer a first look at how altcoins like Solana could perform in the ETF space. These ETFs will enable Canadian investors to gain exposure to Solana without directly holding the tokens themselves. The funds are expected to help further institutionalize the crypto market in Canada.
This approval puts Canada ahead of the U.S. in offering a spot Solana ETF. U.S.-based firms such as Grayscale and Fidelity.

#CongressTradingBan
House Democrats are still honing a message for next year’s midterms, but they appear to have found an early cudgel as they gear up to battle Republicans for the majority: congressional stock trading.

The market turmoil surrounding President Donald Trump’s tariffs has supercharged Democratic attacks on politicians’ investment activity, with top lawmakers calling for investigations of White House officials and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries embracing a ban on trading of individual stocks.

Their attacks crystallized this week after public disclosures revealed that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had purchased stocks during a tariff-induced dip in the market earlier this month. Those securities quickly rose in value after Trump announced a partial reversal of his tariff plans.

More trading disclosures are expected in the coming weeks; members have 45 days to reveal most stock transactions under congressional rules. And while it’s unlikely that the trading was limited to Republicans, Democrats are discarding their past qualms and preparing to hammer GOP leaders on the issue.

“I would say if the Republicans want to insulate themselves from a political fallout of this issue, then the best thing that they could do is bring the bill to the floor before and let us have a vote,” said Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.), the co-author of a bill that would ban member trading of individual stocks. “They have total control of government. The ball is in their court.”

He added that if Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune “do not allow this to come to the floor for an up-or-down vote, then they own that decision, and they will certainly pay for it in the midterms.”

#BitcoinWithTariffs
The cryptocurrency trading in lockstep with stocks points to troubling uncertainties for the US currency.
Much has been made about how stocks and cryptocurrency assets have become correlated ever since President Donald Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs on April 2. This is taken as evidence that the initial proposal was bad — and the subsequent postponement good — for risk assets in general, as might be expected if the main fear is that the tariffs will trigger a recession. Unfortunately, much of the commentary has contained more partisan bluster than cool economic analysis.

A closer look at the timing of the movements in the two asset types suggests a different conclusion — one with troubling uncertainties for the US dollar rather than for international trade and goodwill, or economic recession.
Financial markets seem to have gone through three reaction stages. The after-market trading on April 2 and moves the next two days were driven by a fear of disruptions in financial markets, trade flows and international relations — bad for stocks, good for crypto. Over the weekend and until Trump made a partial reversal on April 9, investors switched to fearing a global recession. Since the pivot, concern seems to be centered on the value of the US dollar.

#USElectronicsTariffs
Donald Trump says Chinese-made smartphones and other electronics will not be exempt from tariffs - adding they are simply moving into a different levy "bucket".

European stock markets bounced up on Monday morning after Friday's official announcement that some of these products would escape levies of up to 145%.

China has called on Donald Trump to "completely cancel" his tariffs regime, and "return to the right path of mutual respect".

However US officials said on Sunday that products would be subject to a "semiconductor tariff" instead, with Trump expected to reveal more details later.

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the new levy would be in addition to a host of global tariffs the US imposed earlier this month, then paused for 90 days.

"We need our medicines and we need semiconductors and our electronics to be built in America," he added.

On Saturday, a US customs notice revealed smartphones, computers and some other electronic devices would be excluded from the 125% tariff on goods entering the country from China.

But Trump chimed in on social media, saying there was no exemption for these products and called such reports about this notice false. Instead, he said that "they are just moving to a different Tariff 'bucket'".

Trump added: "We are taking a look at Semiconductors and the WHOLE ELECTRONICS SUPPLY CHAIN in the upcoming National Security Tariff Investigations."

He said he would provide an update on Monday about semiconductor duties.

Everyday devices such as smartphones and laptops rely on semiconductors, which are small and powerful pieces of tech that form the basic building blocks of modern computation.
