The Cryptoma markets Looking back on a turbulent week: With strong price movements, groundbreaking XRP visits and political surprises, there was plenty of dynamics. In this crypto review we summarize the most important developments for you.
Trump ensures course jump at Bitcoin – Fartcoin (Fart) surprised
The announcement by US President Donald Trump to postpone the introduction of new trading tariffs by 90 days led to a sudden upswing on the cryptoma markets. Bitcoin reacted promptly: the course rose by over 7 % and most recently was around $ 83,500.
The overall market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies also climbed to almost $ 2.7 trillion. However, one of the biggest surprises was Fartcoin (Fart), which turned out to be one of the top performers of the week.
XRP legal dispute: Ripple and SEC submit joint arbitration motion
After years of discussion, a possible end of the legal dispute between Ripple and the US stock exchange supervision SEC is emerging. On April 10, both parties submitted a common motion to apply for an interruption of the process – with the aim of reaching an out -of -court settlement.
According to the well-known XRP lawyer James Filan, a preliminary agreement has been reached across all open issues. However, the final approval of the SEC is still pending. Should there be an agreement, Ripple could finally concentrate entirely on the further development of XRP.
Bitcoin transaction error costs investor $ 70,000
An anonymous Bitcoin user made headlines this week after accidentally paying $ 70,000 of transaction fees-for a single transfer. The cause was a mistake in using the “Replace by Fee”-Function (RBF), which actually serves to replace fixed transactions with a new one with a higher fee. It was probably a panic reaction of the user.
Started first XRP ETF-with lever, not as a spot variant
On April 8, the first ETF was introduced to XRP in the USA. However, it is not a regular spot ETF, but a lever product that shows the daily price behavior of XRP with a factor of two.
According to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg, this step is unusual. Nevertheless, the market is being prepared: Large providers such as Grayscale, Franklin Templeton and Bitwise have already submitted applications for spot ETFs. Forecasts currently give the approval of a spot ETF in 2025 a chance of 75 %.
Between political decisions, legal turns and curious mistakes, this was a week that shows how quickly the cryptom market can change – and how important it is to always remain informed.
