特朗普关税生效，比特币跌破 83,000 美元，抹去了周末涨幅

XRP’s price briefly dropped to a low of $2.15 on Apr. 30, sparking a major bias in liquidations. According to Coinglass data, $13.9 million in long positions were liquidated in just 24 hours, compared to only $1.49 million in shorts, a nearly 1000% imbalance. This kind of imbalance shows that traders have a strong long bias.  When prices decline, too many long positions can be quickly wiped out, which is what happened in this case, causing a quick cascade that drove prices even lower. Additionally, open interest fell by 4%, indicating that many traders were exiting positions. Despite this, XRP (XRP) has since recovered to a crucial psychological support level of about $2.20. According to some traders, this was a “flush,” removing weak hands ahead of a possible reversal. Others fear that if prices decline again, the long bias may result in additional liquidations and capitulation. This drop came at a surprising time when many traders are expecting sustained upward momentum. XRP has seen strong progress so far this year. The Securities and Exchange Commission recently paused its appeal against Ripple, paving the way for the company to potentially work with U.S. banks again in the near future.

Moreover, over ten firms have applied for XRP spot exchange-traded funds, with analysts forecasting 80% or higher odds of approval. Another catalyst that might eventually increase the volume of the XRP Ledger is Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, a broker that moves more than $10 billion daily. On the technical side, the asset is trading in a tight range with no strong momentum in either direction, making the $2.15 and $2.30 levels critical to watch in the near term. Most technical indicators currently reflect a neutral outlook. With a relative strength index of 52.47, there is no discernible trend.  XRP price analysis.

While longer-term averages paint a mixed picture, shorter-term estimated moving averages (10, 20, 30) are in buy territory. The 200-day SMA and EMA are bullish and provide support at about $2.00. If XRP manages to stay above the $2.15–$2.20 range and breaks above $2.30, it could signal a shift toward a bullish trend. This would align with recent developments that favor Ripple. On the downside, failure to hold above $2.15 could lead to another round of long liquidations. Many traders are still highly leveraged, as shown by the current imbalance, which leaves the market vulnerable to sudden drops.

El Salvador is continuing to buy Bitcoin even after agreeing to scale back purchases as part of a $1.4 billion deal with the International Monetary Fund. The Central American nation’s Bitcoin Office is still buying Bitcoin (BTC) despite signing a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund that required it to scale back crypto purchases, El Salvador‘s economy minister Maria Luisa Hayem said in an interview with Bloomberg. “There’s a commitment of President Bukele to keep accumulating assets as a way to do precisely that. Bitcoin keeps being an important project. There is an asset accumulation that we’re seeing from the government perspective, from the private sector perspective.” Maria Luisa Hayem You might also like:IMF now officially tracks Bitcoin in cross-border finance — just weeks after warning El Salvador to scale back As of press time, El Salvador holds 6,162 BTC — worth over $580 million — according to Bitcoin Treasuries data.

Governments holding Bitcoin | Source: Bitcoin Treasuries Hayem’s statement comes as the country faces scrutiny over how it’s implementing its Bitcoin Law. A report by El Mundo had earlier found that nearly 90% of the crypto firms registered in El Salvador are not operating. The Central Reserve Bank listed only 20 out of 181 registered providers as active, while the rest are marked “non-operating.” At least 22 of the inactive companies may have failed to meet regulatory requirements under Article 4 of the Bitcoin Law Regulation, which requires providers to operate with “high standards of integrity and honesty” and maintain AML programs, asset records, and cybersecurity systems.

Ripple 以 12.5 亿美元收购 Hidden Road，这是今年第二起涉及加密货币公司的 10 亿美元以上的收购——继 FTX 以 10 亿美元收购 BlockFi。 Ripple (XRP) 以 12.5 亿美元收购了主要经纪公司 Hidden Road，这是其通过更广泛的服务吸引更多机构投资者的战略的一部分。这笔交易将主要以现金支付，部分以 XRP 和 Ripple 股票支付。Hidden Road 的创始人 Marc Asch 将继续领导 Ripple 旗下的经纪公司。 Ripple 首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 对《财富》杂志表示：“Ripple 需要确保我们拥有适当的基础设施，以吸引和拓展更大范围的大型投资机构。” 加林豪斯告诉 CNBC，他预计该交易将最迟在 2025 年第三季度完成。 你可能还喜欢：Ripple 将 RLUSD 合并到支付平台以扩大实用性 布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 解释说，此次收购是因为 Hidden Road 因资产负债表限制而面临增长挑战，并开始寻求外部资本来扩大规模。 作为收购的一部分，Hidden Road 将把 Ripple 的稳定币 RLUSD 整合到其产品中，并可能利用 XRP 区块链实现更高效的交易结算。Ripple 计划向 Hidden Road 投资数十亿美元，以扩大其业务规模并满足加密货币市场对主要经纪服务日益增长的需求。 Hidden Road 由 Marc Asch 于 2018 年创立，迅速成为加密货币大宗经纪领域的主要参与者，与 FalconX 和 Coinbase Prime 等公司竞争。该公司报告称，2024 年的资金转移额为 3 万亿美元。此前，该公司在由 Castle Island Ventures、Coinbase Ventures 和 Citadel Securities 支持的 A 轮融资中筹集了 5000 万美元。 你可能还喜欢：XRP 价格能达到 5 美元吗？Ripple 首席执行官 Garlinghouse 关注 SWIFT 颠覆

总部位于新加坡的区块链平台 DigiFT 将对由 Invesco 管理的 63 亿美元私人信贷基金进行代币化，标志着传统金融与区块链技术相结合迈出的重要一步。 据彭博社报道，此举允许机构投资者用美元或稳定币（如 USDC 和 USDT）购买该基金的代币化股份。DigiFT 首席执行官张亨利表示，景顺私募信贷基金主要投资于优先担保贷款，自 2006 年成立以来，年净收益率为 4.5%。 与大多数具有较长赎回周期的代币化私人信贷基金不同，该基金将提供每日流动性，从而为投资者提供更灵活的选择。代币化是将传统资产转换为区块链上的数字表示的过程，正在迅速扩展。根据 rwa.xyz 的数据，目前链上的 80% 的现实世界资产是私人信贷，这推动了这一趋势。 你可能还喜欢：竞争压力下，景顺银河降低了现货比特币 ETF 佣金 尽管管理着 1.9 万亿美元资产的 Invesco 此前曾推出过与加密货币挂钩的交易所交易基金，但此次与 DigiFT 的合作是其首次尝试基金代币化。该资产管理公司估计，到 2030 年，代币化基金的管理规模可高达 6000 亿美元，占共同基金和交易所交易基金总资产的 1%。 DigiFT 已经是代币化领域的重要参与者，最近成为瑞银代币化货币市场基金 uMint 的首个分销合作伙伴。该平台受新加坡法规的约束，并获得了市场运营商和资本市场实体的许可。 尽管每天都可以赎回，但 DigiFT 代币化 Invesco 基金的结算将需要长达五天的时间。虽然流动性提供商管理着底层结算流程，但张透露计划推出一个链上流动性池，让投资者能够以小折扣快速赎回代币。 随着富兰克林邓普顿和贝莱德等知名资产管理公司采用代币化，DigiFT 的最新举措凸显了区块链在传统金融 (TradFi) 中的应用日益广泛。 阅读更多：Taurus 利用 Solana 作为托管和代币化平台

Binance moves to restrict non-MiCA compliant stablecoins for EEA users, reveals delisting timeline and conversion options ahead of March deadline. 加密货币交易所币安将从 3 月 31 日起从欧洲经济区的现货交易中移除不符合 MiCA 标准的稳定币，例如 Tether (USDT)、First Digital USD (FDUSD) 和 DAI (DAI)，并敦促用户转向符合 MiCA 标准的稳定币，例如 Circle 的 USD Coin (USDC)、Eurite (EURI) 或欧元等法定货币。 币安在 3 月 3 日发布的新闻稿中表示，目前，不符合 MiCA 规定的稳定币仍可在现货对中交易，直至截止日期。不过，3 月 31 日之后，这些交易对将完全下架。 “非 MiCA 合规稳定币的保管将继续，您可以随时提取或存入非 MiCA 合规稳定币。” 币安 此次更新还将影响保证金交易。从 3 月 27 日起，不合规的保证金交易对将被移除，币安将自动将任何剩余资产转换为 USDC。币安敦促用户在截止日期前转换其保证金资产，以避免清算风险。 你可能还喜欢：Tether 的 Paolo Ardoino：稳定币法案的修改旨在“消灭 Tether” 为了帮助用户转向符合 MiCA 标准的稳定币，币安将对部分货币对提供零费用交易，并为交易 USDC 或 EURI 的用户提供奖励。该交易所还建议将币安 Earn 和贷款持有量更新为符合 MiCA 标准的稳定币。 此次更新是币安遵守欧洲 MiCA 框架的努力之一，该框架旨在为加密货币市场制定明确的监管准则。2024 年 7 月，区块链研究公司 Kaiko 的分析师表示，欧洲的加密资产市场监管促使发行人纷纷遵守，从而使 Circle 受益，而其竞争对手却因此受损。 Tether 首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 批评了 MiCA，认为其要求稳定币发行者在欧盟银行账户中持有至少 60% 的储备金会带来财务风险，因为超过 100,000 欧元的存款没有保险。 Read more:MiCA is live: How new EU regulation will affect the global crypto market
