Ripple just moved 200 million XRP: Is a dump incoming?

Image
A Ripple-linked account has executed a massive on-chain transaction, transferring 200 million XRP, valued at approximately $410 million based on the market price of $2.05 on April 11. The timing and scale of the move have sparked speculation across the crypto community, especially as XRP trades near critical support amid ongoing legal uncertainty and volatile market conditions.  With investor sentiment fragile and broader trends in flux, the transaction has raised concerns about the token’s near-term outlook. Ripple’s 200 million XRP transfer fuels speculation According to blockchain tracker Whale Alert , the transaction originated from a Ripple-tagged wallet ‘Ripple (1)’ and was sent to another address, rP4X2…sKxv3, which initially appeared to belong to an unidentified recipient.  However, data from Bithomp reveals that the receiving wallet, though seemingly anonymous at first, was activated by Ripple itself in October 2023 with an initial balance of 70 ...

Amazon Tells Consumers to Expect Prices to Rise Due to Tariffs

Image
Despite a market resurgence Wednesday and US President Donald Trump announcing a 90-day pause on his Liberation Day policy, Amazon has told consumers to expect prices to rise due to tariffs. Specifically, the company’s CEO, Andy Jassy, told CNBC that the company would be passing increased costs onto consumers. Jassy noted that the company is still waiting to see how the tariff turmoil “plays out,” but expects the e-commerce firm to cope with increased prices. Moreover, he noted that the e-commerce juggernauts’ network of third-party sellers has been placed in a tough position by the ongoing import tax dilemma.

JPMorgan CEO: Recession is 'Likely Outcome' of Trump Tariffs

Image
The United States is currently on the brink of a trade war with China on the heels of its new Liberation Day economic policy. Now, that could spell disaster for the country, as JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon recently said a recession is the most “likely outcome” of President Donald Trump’s tariff plan. Just last week, the Trump administration unveiled a baseline 10% tariff on all nations. The increasingly aggressive economic policy was met with ire by some and with hope for negotiations by others. However, one thing is certain: while the self-created issue gets resolved, the US will be subjected to increasing economic uncertainty.

U.S. Bitcoin ATM count drops despite ‘pro-crypto presidency’

Image
The cryptocurrency community welcomed Donald Trump’s re-election as promised to help bolster the position of digital assets in the U.S., ending the practice of ‘regulation by enforcement,’ and even establishing a national strategic reserve. The initial months of the actual presidency stood in stark contrast and can generally be best described as a ‘mixed bag.’ Though President Trump ushered in a more crypto-friendly SEC and the Department of Justice (DoJ) is winding down its digital assets operations, the administration has hardly been lucrative for traders. One of the metrics showing the deteriorating situation is that the number of Bitcoin (BTC) ATMs has been dropping in the U.S. through the first quarter (Q1) of 2025. At the beginning of the year, there were 30,119 such machines, while, at the end of Q1, there were 185 fewer: 29,934, as per data retrieved from Coin ATM Radar and highlighted in Finbold’s Q1 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Report.

Bitcoin May Get Boost as Chinese Yuan Devalues Amid US Trade War

Image
The last several weeks have seen economic policy wreak havoc on the markets. However, that could be set to benefit the leading cryptocurrency, as Bitcoin may get a boost with the Chinese yuan devaluing amid the brewing US trade war aligning with historical trends for the token. Both the United States and China have been embroiled in rising geopolitical tensions; the markets are in a concerning spot.

Will XRP reach $1?

Image
XRP has tumbled nearly 50% since January, sliding from a high of $3.80 to as low as $1.60, mirroring the broader market’s retreat amid mounting global tensions.  The latest trigger came when President Donald Trump threatened additional tariffs on China and announced a blanket 10% tariff on all goods entering the U.S., set to take effect on April 9. The announcement triggered a broad market sell-off, though major crypto assets staged a modest recovery in the aftermath. Bitcoin (BTC) bounced back slightly, and XRP climbed to $1.88 at press time.  XRP one-day price chart.

As macroeconomic volatility intensifies and regulatory uncertainty lingers, investors are closely watching whether XRP will continue its slide toward the $1 mark or begin to reverse course.  XRP...

Justin Sun fights a lot of lawsuits on behalf of companies he doesn’t own

Justin Sun frequently tangles with the legal system, historically as a defendant, but increasingly as the plaintiff.  These cases often involve firms of which Sun disclaims ownership but in which he’s deeply involved nonetheless.  First Digital hits back at Techteryx The lawsuit that has most recently entered the public consciousness is between Techteryx and First Digital Trust.  This suit contains allegations from Techteryx, the firm behind TrueUSD (TUSD), and alleges that First Digital Trust misappropriated portions of the TUSD reserves.
