President Trump\u2019s expanded tariff programme and renewed trade disputes have fuelled concerns of stubborn inflation.<\/p>\n<p>This, in turn, may keep the US Federal Reserve in a hawkish stance longer than markets would prefer.<\/p>\n<p>These factors increase the likelihood of risk-off behaviour among investors, which could impact high-volatility assets like XRP.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, while some traders have speculated about XRP surging toward $10, this scenario appears unlikely unless broader market conditions shift significantly.<\/p>\n<h2>Ripple network and adoption expand<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond price action, Ripple\u2019s ecosystem continues to grow. The December 2024 launch of the RLUSD stablecoin has enhanced on-chain liquidity and transaction flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>Upgrades to the XRP Ledger have also boosted transaction speeds, now capable of handling more than 3,400 transactions per second, improving its appeal for institutional use.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration\u2019s pro-crypto stance\u2014including the appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC Chair\u2014suggests that regulatory clarity may continue to improve.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Trump identified XRP as a key digital asset that could be included in the US government\u2019s digital stockpile initiative.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/xrp-price-rises-8-6-this-week-as-etf-momentum-builds\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Market cap stands at $130 billion as of 30 April.
