📈 XRP has just reached a new 7-year high, crossing a $3.39 market value for the first time since January, 2018. With this rise, we have just seen 2,365 $100K+ XRP transactions in the latest 8-hour span, the highest spike since December 3rd. Total holders are also skyrocketing.

⚡️📈 Litecoin has decoupled from other altcoins, jumping +16.1% in market cap in just the past 11 hours. Just as we saw in early December, the key driver appears to be whales and sharks holding at least 10K+ $LTC. They have accumulated 250K coins since Jan. 9th. 👀

📈 Two US-themed bullish news stories have hit crypto today, causing Bitcoin to rise as high as $99.7K and altcoins to surge:

🇺🇸 Donald Trump has announced that his upcoming presidency is planning for immediate friendlier SEC rules, clearer token guidelines, and less legal restrictions following his inauguration next week.

👷 US inflation reports show cooling inflation and more optimism of further Fed rate cuts, which would immediately favor crypto growth. Though the hawkish FOMC meeting last month contributed to a cryptocurrency top, traders are hoping that this slightly changes their decisions on slowing rate cuts in 2025.
