To support this goal, Metaplanet also disclosed a second $25 million bond sale to EVO FUND, intended to finance additional Bitcoin purchases. This comes just days after a previous bond issuance of the same amount to the same buyer. The newly issued bonds, like the previous ones, are zero-coupon and will mature on November 6, the company stated on X. In addition, Metaplanet established Metaplanet Treasury Corp. earlier this year — a Miami-based subsidiary dedicated exclusively to BTC acquisition, backed by $250 million in operating capital. The company’s bold Bitcoin strategy appears to be yielding results. In today’s announcement on X, Gerovich also noted a BTC yield of 136.7% year-to-date in 2025.

XRP continues to face bearish pressure as short positions dominate the derivatives market.  According to Coinglass data, the long/short ratio for Ripple (XRP) is 0.9205, meaning that more traders are betting on a decline than a rally. For almost two weeks, this ratio has remained below 1, indicating that bearish sentiment has taken over.  Even though open interest has dropped by 1.92%, derivatives volume jumped 35% to $3.28 billion. This tells us traders are still active, but mostly on the short side, expecting a move down. On the technical front, XRP is trading at $2.14, just above a crucial support level of $2.05. If that level is broken, there may be more severe short-term declines. The relative strength index is neutral at 47 but is progressively declining. Since it is not yet oversold, there is still room for a further decline. XRP price chart | Source: crypto.news The moving average convergence divergence recently turned negative, suggesting that their downside momentum may be building. At 11, the average directional index, which gauges trend strength, is extremely low, indicating that there is currently only choppy sideways action rather than a strong trend. The majority of short- and medium-term moving averages are also flashing sell signals.

The squeeze, however, occurs at the same time that XRP is testing support, which might suggest that a decline rather than a bounce is more likely.  While short-term setup is bearish, XRP’s fundamentals are still solid. A major regulatory burden was recently lifted as Ripple resolved its legal dispute with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, there is increasing interest in a possible spot XRP exchange-traded fund, which Bloomberg analysts predict will be approved by the end of 2025 with an 85% chance. ETF approvals could increase institutional demand and drive up prices considerably. Meanwhile, Ripple’s $4-5 billion offer to purchase stablecoin issuer Circle, although unsuccessful, shows the company’s ambitious growth goals.  Macroeconomic challenges still exist though. Risk sentiment is being distorted by President Trump’s tariff policies and sticky inflation. The Federal Reserve’s May 7 interest rate decision and May 13 CPI data are also drawing attention the focus of attention because they have the potential to impact the movements of cryptocurrency assets, including XRP. If XRP loses $2.05, it could fall toward $1.98–$2.00, where the 200-day support sits. Still, the bulls aren’t out. If XRP can bounce from this range and break back above $2.20, it might flip momentum back in its favor. But right now, the odds don’t support that move.

The stock market faced downside pressure on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all opening lower amid a wave of news developments. Dow opened 190 points lower to extend its negative trend after closing -0.4% on Wednesday, while S&P 500, which welcomed its new member Coinbase during the previous session, was down 0.33%. Nasdaq also saw a slight pullback as it opened 0.50% down. As stocks fell, the crypto market seemed to follow suit. Top assets Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) declined by 1.3% to nearly $102k and 2.2% to $2,557 respectively. Oil prices also fell as the market reacted to Trump’s remarks about a potential nuclear deal with Iran.

In its place, new jitters emerged after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned of the likelihood of higher long-term interest rates, citing persistent “supply shocks” as a continued challenge for policymakers. “We may be entering a period of more frequent, and potentially more persistent, supply shocks – a difficult challenge for the economy and for central banks,” Powell said in a speech at the Thomas Laubach Research Conference in Washington, D.C. The Fed chair’s comments came just days after the central bank held its benchmark borrowing rate steady. U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Powell over the decision, reiterating claims that the Fed chair is always “too late.” On Thursday, fresh data showed that retail sales slowed sharply in April, as tariffs weighed on consumer spending. Spending rose in March amid Trump’s tariffs and the tensions that followed. However, consumers cooled spending in April. The economic impact of a trade agreement between the U.S. and the U.K. will be one to watch. Investors previously cheered the deals, including the U.S.-China one that saw the global trading powerhouses de-escalate with a 90-day pause. Powell’s remarks and the upcoming Producer Price Index will be in sharp focus going forward, with investors keen to understand what they could mean for interest rates and the broader economy.
