XRP’s Cheeky Leap: The Crypto That Mocked Bitcoin & ETH 😏
Picture this: the insufferable Bitcoin and Ethereum strutting about like kings, only to be unceremoniously outfoxed by XRP! CoinShares’ latest report reveals a gobsmacking $415 million outflow from digital assets. It seems the Federal Reserve’s hawkish mutterings and an eyebrow-raising US CPI report were enough to send good ol’ BTC and ETH scrambling. Meanwhile, XRP slyly secured $8.5 million in inflows, leaving many wondering if it had been taking secret lessons in charm.
XRP’s Moment of Glory
In a week that could only be described as “crypto Game of Thrones,” XRP emerged as the feisty underdog. Bitcoin, the supposed original gangster, crumbled with a hefty $430 million outflow. Ethereum didn’t fare much better with a $7.2 million outflow, proving yet again that even in the finance world, size really doesn’t matter. XRP, meanwhile, batted its metaphorical eyelashes and raked in $8.5 million. Bravo! 👏
Solana also decided to shake things up, netting $8.9 million. Perhaps it’s been sipping coconut water and going on yoga retreats? Joining the crypto uprising were Sui with $6 million, Cardano with $1.9 million, and Litecoin with a modest but respectable $1.2 million.
USA: The Drama Capital of Crypto
Meanwhile, across the pond in the USA, it seems investors hit the panic button with an enormous $464 million in outflows. Not even the SEC’s blessing of ETFs tracking XRP could calm their nerves—maybe it’s all those late-night infomercials about financial doom?
Elsewhere, Germany strutted onto the scene with $21 million in inflows. Switzerland and Canada chipped in too, with $12.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Clearly, Europe has been binge-reading “How to Stay Chill During Financial Turmoil.” Over in Hong Kong and Brazil, outflows stood at $4 million and $2.1 million. Someone please send them a postcard from Switzerland with love (and advice).
The Fed’s “We’re Fine, Thanks for Asking!” Routine
Fed Reserve Chair Jerome Powell had his moment in the spotlight, telling Congress that the economy is “strong” and there’s “no hurry” to tweak policies. Translation: “We’ll just sit here, sip iced tea, and watch the market burn itself out.” His cool demeanor was matched only by the hot US CPI report, which revealed a jump in inflation—from 2.9% to 3%—and had everyone clutching their pearls.
“Our policy stance is now less restrictive than it had been, and the economy remains strong,” said Powell.
This shrugged-off approach spooked digital asset investors, triggering a mass exodus. Apparently, hawkish Fed banter, combined with hotter-than-expected inflation, is the ultimate recipe for investor cold feet. 🍿
XRP, playing the rebellious teenager, has had a mixed ride. Trading at $2.71, it showed a cheeky 11% weekly gain but is down 15% for the month. Someone hand it a motivational poster—it might just be what it needs to rally further.
