The dynamic world of crypto closes yet another week, primarily with attention-nabbing developments unfolding across the broader sector. Ripple’s XRP sustained a price rally, nearing $2 against the backdrop of legal maneuvers in favor of the American blockchain payments company. Simultaneously, Shiba Inu (SHIB) saw bullish dynamics fueling market optimism surrounding the meme coin. On the other hand, Bitcoin (BTC) continued to consolidate near its ATH this week, sparking market discussions.
Here’s a brief report on some of the most buzz-worthy cryptocurrency market updates reported by CoinGape Media over the past week.
Ripple’s Crypto Sustains Rally Amid Legal Developments
Notably, the Ripple-backed crypto saw a highly bullish week, extending weekly gains to 30% and resting near $1.90. This rising trajectory has sparked noteworthy optimism, which is in line with recent legal developments regarding the blockchain payments company.
Primarily, the lawsuit against the U.S. SEC could end under the “new SEC,” CoinGape Media reported. This optimistic anticipation comes against the backdrop of SEC Chair Gary Gensler announcing his exit and pro-crypto Donald Trump securing a win in the U.S. elections. Moreover, pro-XRP attorneys Bill Morgan, Fred Rispoli, and Jeremy Hogan also revealed that the appeals are likely to get dismissed, hinting that the lawsuit against the U.S. SEC could drop soon. Overall, as the much-awaited conclusion for the lawsuit comes, market sentiments surrounding the Ripple-backed asset have turned highly bullish.
Intriguingly, amid these optimistic events, the coin also overtook BNB in terms of market cap, marking a monumental stride. Simultaneously, the asset’s futures OI topped $2.5 billion this week, echoing investor optimism.
Further, with Ripple eyeing RLUSD stablecoin launch ahead with indications that New York’s top financial regulator, the Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), is poised to approve the product, market sentiments remain bullish on future movements.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) Steals Spotlight
Simultaneously, Shiba Inu has gained significant traction this week, witnessing remarkable burns and ecosystem developments. CoinGape Media reported the SHIB burn rate to have soared remarkably over the past seven days, sparking optimism surrounding the coin’s future price movements. Simultaneously, even the coin’s layer 2 network, Shibarium, saw a maintenance upgrade, enhancing functionality.
While these events significantly bolstered prices, it’s also noteworthy that Shiba Inu whale holdings were reported to be on the rise. This stat has underscored heightened market interest in the asset amid a bullish Q4. In turn, crypto market enthusiasts are extensively eyeing the token for further gains in light of the abovementioned optimistic stats.
BTC Consolidates Near ATH
Meanwhile, the flagship crypto has faced some market turbulence near its ATH, resting above the $95K level as the week closes. Notably, Robert Kiyosaki warns amid this turbulent movement that Bitcoin could surpass $100K soon, making it harder for the middle class to invest, urging FOMO for early investors. This statement sparked noteworthy optimism for the cryptocurrency, while other bullish events also unfolded across the broader market.
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim proposed Bitcoin as a reserve asset this week, underscoring the asset’s market potential. Additionally, a stockpile of bullish on-chain metrics weighing in has added to intrigue on the asset’s future movements. A recent Bitcoin price analysis by CoinGape media indicated that the coin eyes further gains, mirroring historical trends and increased market interest.
