Why Isn't $XRP Rising After Ripple's SEC Win? The Analysts Explain The XRP price has not risen much after Ripple's SEC triumph. After the SEC dismissed its appeal against Ripple, market participants predicted a record high. Investors expected a stronger surge, but XRP only rose 13% to $2.60 before falling to $2.40. Why Is XRP Not Rising? Merlin co-founder Johnny Krypto says XRP's absence of a significant price surge is expected. Anticipatory trading generally leads to subdued reactions when formal news emerges, he says, citing crypto and mainstream market history. “When Trump won, there was no logical reason for XRP's price to jump, but the market assumed the lawsuit would be dropped,” Johnny says. We witnessed the enormous pump then because of that. He says the run-up from $0.50 to $2.50 in November was traders betting on Ripple's legal success. When the conclusion is certain, the market whimpers rather than bangs. According to him, “If the SEC had maintained the appeal, XRP's price would have likely plummeted instead of staying stable,” as the lack of a negative development has stopped XRP from dropping rather than pushing it to new highs. Retail investors may lack patience due to gradual price changes, as they expect faster returns. Currently, most retail players are experiencing "pain" due to boredom, unlike in 2017, when the market experienced rapid fluctuations. However, financial markets function differently. It cycles and waves.” Beyond legal rulings, XRP and the crypto market are vulnerable to global economic factors. President Trump's tariffs might start a US-led trade war. In particular, the 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and the 10% tax on China have raised fears about stagflation—slow economic growth and rising inflation. Federal Reserve monetary policy also affects attitude. On March 19, 2025, the Fed paused its rate-cutting cycle that started in September 2024 and maintained interest rates at the 4.25%–4.5% range established in late 2024X

Santiment reported a 10-year low in exchange Ethereum supply. In March, Ethereum accumulation addresses gained 2.11 million ETH. ETH may find support at $1,800 if a significant falling trendline breaks. Friday, Ethereum (ETH) climbs beyond $1,900 as investors increased buying pressure in March. The leading altcoin may rebound if the Pectra update is a price catalyst. Ethereum buyers boost purchasing despite poor pricing. According to Santiment, exchange Ethereum supply fell to 8.71 million ETH on Friday, a 10-year low. "There is 16.4% less ETH on exchanges compared to just 7 weeks ago," Santiment said on Thursday's X. A coin's exchange supply decrease suggests investors are shifting tokens to private wallets for long-term ownership. Note that other on-chain analysis tools may use a different measure. The ETH accumulation address balance has increased by 4.77 million ETH since January, a 32% growth rate, indicating comparable purchasing pressure. After ETH fell below $2,000 psychologically, March saw 45% of that growth (2.11M ETH). ETH's futures market open interest rose from 9.40M to 10.10M in three days, indicating derivative traders' rising confidence in the top cryptocurrency. If ETH finds a market trigger, present price levels might become important support and start a rise due to tremendous purchasing pressure. Pectra caused validator difficulties on test networks Holesky and Sepolia, but developers overcame them. Pectra launches on Hoodi, a new testnet, on Wednesday. After 30 days, developers will release Pectra on the mainnet if successful. Friday, ETH tests descending trendline support. A rally off the trendline might revisit $2,070 barrier for ETH. A sustained drop above the trendline might support ETH at $1,800. Further fall below $1,800 might push ETH below $1,500.

Crypto investors rejoiced this week after the US Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed one of the crypto industry’s most controversial lawsuits — one that resulted in an over four-year legal battle with Ripple Labs. In another significant regulatory development, Solana-based futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have debuted in the US, a move that may signal the approval of spot Solana SOLUSD  ETFs as the “next logical step” for lawmakers. SEC’s XRP reversal a “victory for the industry”: Ripple CEO The SEC’s dismissal of its years-long lawsuit against Ripple Labs, the developer of the XRP Ledger blockchain network, is a “victory for the industry,” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said at Blockworks’ 2025 Digital Asset Summit in New York. On March 19, Garlinghouse revealed that the SEC would dismiss its legal action against Ripple, ending four years of litigation against the blockchain developer for an alleged $1.3-billion unregistered securities offering in 2020. “It feels like a victory for the industry and the beginning of a new chapter,” Garlinghouse said on March 19 at the Summit, which Cointelegraph attended.  Solana futures ETF to grow institutional adoption, despite limited inflows The crypto industry is set to debut the first SOL futures ETF, a significant development that may pave the way for the first spot SOL ETF as the “next logical step” for crypto-based trading products, according to industry watchers. Volatility Shares is launching two SOL futures ETFs, the Volatility Shares Solana ETF (SOLZ) and the Volatility Shares 2X Solana ETF (SOLT), on March 20. The debut of the first SOL futures ETF may bring significant new institutional adoption for the SOL token, according to Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research. The analyst told Cointelegraph:  “The launch of the first Solana ETFs in the US could significantly boost Solana’s market position by increasing demand and liquidity for SOL, potentially narrowing the gap with Ethereum’s market cap.” The Solana ETF will grow institutional adoption by “offering a regulated investment vehicle, attracting billions in capital and reinforcing Solana’s competitiveness against Ethereum,” said Lee, adding that “Ethereum’s entrenched ecosystem remains a formidable barrier.” Pump.fun launches own DEX, drops Raydium Pump.fun has launched its own decentralized exchange (DEX) called PumpSwap, potentially displacing Raydium as the primary trading venue for Solana-based memecoins.  Starting on March 20, memecoins that successfully bootstrap liquidity, or “bond,” on Pump.fun will migrate directly to PumpSwap, Pump.fun said in an X post.  Previously, bonded Pump.fun tokens migrated to Raydium, which emerged as Solana’s most popular DEX, largely thanks to memecoin trading activity.  According to Pump.fun, PumpSwap “functions similarly to Raydium V4 and Uniswap V2” and is designed “to create the most frictionless environment for trading coins.” “Migrations were a major point of friction - they slow a coin’s momentum and introduce needless complexity for new users,” Pump.fun said. “Now, migrations happen instantly and for free.” Bybit: 89% of stolen $1.4B crypto still traceable post-hack The lion’s share of the hacked Bybit funds is still traceable after the historic cybertheft, with blockchain investigators continuing their efforts to freeze and recover the funds. The crypto industry was rocked by the largest hack in history on Feb. 21 when Bybit lost over $1.4 billion in liquid-staked Ether (stETH), Mantle Staked ETH (mETH) and other digital assets. Blockchain security firms, including Arkham Intelligence, have identified North Korea’s Lazarus Group as the likely culprit behind the Bybit exploit as the attackers continue swapping the funds in an effort to make them untraceable. Despite the Lazarus Group’s efforts, over 88% of the stolen $1.4 billion remains traceable, according to Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of crypto exchange Bybit. The CEO wrote in a March 20 X post: “Total hacked funds of USD 1.4bn around 500k ETH. 88.87% remain traceable, 7.59% have gone dark, 3.54% have been frozen.” “86.29% (440,091 ETH, ~$1.23B) have been converted into 12,836 BTC across 9,117 wallets (Average 1.41 BTC each),” said the CEO, adding that the funds were mainly funneled through Bitcoin (BTC) mixers, including Wasbi, CryptoMixer, Railgun and Tornado Cash. The CEO’s update comes nearly a month after the exchange was hacked. It took the Lazarus Group 10 days to move 100% of the stolen funds through the decentralized crosschain protocol THORChain, Cointelegraph reported on March 4. Libra, Melania creator’s “Wolf of Wall Street” memecoin crashes 99% The creator of the Libra token has launched another memecoin with some of the same concerning onchain patterns that pointed to significant insider trading activity ahead of the coin’s 99% collapse. Hayden Davis, co-creator of the Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) and Libra tokens, has launched a new Solana-based memecoin with an over 80% insider supply. Davis launched the Wolf (WOLF) memecoin on March 8, banking on rumors of Jordan Belfort, known as the Wolf of Wall Street, launching his own token. The token reached a peak $42 million market cap. However, 82% of WOLF’s supply was bundled under the same entity, according to a March 15 X post by Bubblemaps, which wrote: “The bubble map revealed something strange — $WOLF had the same pattern as $HOOD, a token launched by Hayden Davis. Was he behind this one too?” The blockchain analytics platform revealed transfers across 17 different addresses, stemming back to the address “OxcEAe,” owned by Davis. “He funded these wallets months before $LIBRA and $WOLF launched, moving money through 17 addresses and 2 chains,” Bubblemaps added. The Wolf memecoin lost over 99% of its value within two days, from the peak $42.9 million market capitalization on March 8 to just $570,000 by March 16, Dexscreener data shows. DeFi market overview According to Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView data, most of the 100 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization ended the week in the green. Of the top 100, the BNB Chain-native Four (FORM) token rose over 110% as the week’s biggest gainer, followed by PancakeSwap’s CAKE (CAKE) token, up over 48% on the weekly chart.
