XRP Surges Past Bitcoin as Dogecoin Struggles Before U.S. Inflation Data

XRP sees significant deposits as regulatory approval boosts its value, while other major cryptocurrencies experience declines ahead of inflation announcements.

Key Points

  • Bitcoin remains steady at nearly $98,000, with ether (ETH), BNB, and Cardano (ADA) declining up to 2%.
  • Regulatory developments have impacted XRP's market position, leading to a significant increase in whale deposits.
  • The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to release the consumer price index (CPI) that could influence future economic decisions.

XRP has significantly outperformed Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, with Dogecoin (DOGE) leading the declines in the past 24 hours as the market awaits critical inflation data from the U.S.

The CPI release scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET (13:30 UTC) is anticipated to provide insight into inflation trends, which have implications for interest rate decisions that could sway the cryptocurrency markets.

Furthermore, XRP's value surged by as much as 7% after Ripple Labs announced it secured final regulatory approval to introduce the RLUSD stablecoin in the U.S. This stablecoin aims to function across both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum networks, potentially boosting decentralized finance applications linked to XRP.

Analysts highlight that the recent surge in deposits from XRP whales indicates a potential strategic reallocation of assets. This behavior is reminiscent of past price fluctuations as large transaction volumes often foreshadow market shifts.
