Ripple’s XRP cryptocurrency has faced immense selling pressure over the past month, with its price falling 13% in the last 30 days. The asset’s dropoff slowed last week, but some analysts are still fearful of a further slump. President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariff announcement caused concerns in both the stock and crypto markets. Thus, top tokens like XRP, ETH, and even SOL are facing pressure. The introduction of tariffs triggered $19 million in liquidations over the last day. Moreover, XRP is now facing the critical $2 support. Indeed, the token fell to the $1.9 level Thursday but has rebounded upwards over the last 48 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Experts have identified a descending triangle on the asset’s daily chart. Subsequently, the crypto’s price could drop even further with a continuing sell-off. Ultimately, it could settle at $0.62 lows if it fails to stay above the $2 mark. Furthermore, popular crypto analyst, Ali Martinez, recently posted on X abo...

The recent tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump got the best of the cryptocurrency industry. Several assets were seen recording massive downfalls. Ripple’s XRP wasn’t spared either. The fourth largest cryptocurrency went from trading at a high of $2.22 down to a low of $1.99. Despite starting the new month of April on a bullish note, the asset was seen facing several roadblocks. But some were viewing the altcoin’s latest plummet as a good investment opportunity that could grow over the next few years.

Investor Chris Burniske says the recent controversies surrounding memecoin launches have created an ideal opportunity for traditional financial (TradFi) firms to penetrate the crypto market. The venture capitalist tells his 324,400 followers on the social media platform X that TradFi firms are about to launch crypto-focused products and tokens and show the industry how to effectively raise and preserve capital. According to Burniske, memecoin launches are notoriously bad at capital preservation, which is the total opposite of how TradFi firms operate. “Don’t despair that our worthless memecoins were bad at capital formation, the entire world of capital formation is coming to a blockchain near you…  And for what it’s worth, memecoins were remarkable at capital formation, it was the capital preservation that most lacked. Perfect moment for TradFi to onboard their ‘trusted assets’ onto blockchains and have these RWAs (real-worth a...
