Crypto Survives Trump! 😲

by

Alas, the crypto market finds itself in a rather precarious position, wouldn’t you agree? Like a debutante caught in a rainstorm, it struggles to recover from the blustering winds of President Trump’s tariffs. How utterly dreadful! 😒

While the dull-witted investors, bless their cotton socks, scurried towards the glittering allure of gold and silver – so predictable, darling! – digital assets, in a display of surprising resilience, are showing the faintest glimmer of recovery. Solana (SOL), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple USD (RLUSD), and Tether (USDT) are, for the moment, the darlings of social media gossip. How very au courant. 😉

SOL, ETH, ADA in the Limelight

Recent data from the soothsayers at Santiment (such a delightful name, isn’t it?) reveals a flurry of social media prattle, audacious price predictions, and frantic trading activity surrounding these four assets, along with Cardano (ADA) and Binance Coin (BNB). Could this be a sign of a shift in trader affections? One shudders to think what the macroeconomic uncertainty will bring. 😬

Solana, the seventh-largest cryptocurrency, experienced a rather unbecoming week, tumbling a shocking 12.4% to a mere $114.57. Yet, this layer-1 blockchain remains the subject of fevered discussion. PayPal’s recent dalliance with Solana for its U.S. customers is seen as a testament to its growing acceptance in polite society – or at least, the financial equivalent thereof. 🧐

Ethereum, too, is enjoying its fifteen minutes of fame. According to Santiment, it is the focus of much chatter, particularly because of its impending Pectra upgrade. Even though its unveiling has been delayed (the drama!), there is still a flicker of hope that it might breathe new life into the network and revive investor passion. One can only hope! 🙏

However, on-chain analytics, those digital oracles, reveal a troubling trend: large transactions have plummeted by nearly 64% since late February, with over 760,000 ETH unceremoniously dumped onto the market in the last fortnight. How gauche! 😮

ETH briefly ascended above $1,900 earlier in the week but has since found it rather difficult to maintain such lofty heights. Currently, it is trading at a rather pathetic $1,738, down 6.6% over the last seven days. A tragedy, truly! 😢

The broader altcoin market tells a similar tale of woe, with Cardano facing the indignity of heavy selling pressure from its wealthier patrons. Bearish sentiment was ignited after its price plummeted 36.7% in 30 days to a paltry $0.6334, with whales offloading $136 million worth of ADA last month. Still, the launch of its new Veridian wallet has injected a modicum of optimism, with the community debating its long-term prospects. The optimism of youth! 🙄

Trending Stablecoins

In the realm of stablecoins, Ripple’s RLUSD has experienced an explosive, almost vulgar, growth, with trading volumes skyrocketing 87% to surpass $10 billion on major exchanges. However, not all opinions have been favorable. Some of the chatter revolves around unfavorable comparisons to other stablecoins, with critics questioning whether it can possibly sustain such momentum in such a crowded market. Time will tell, darling. ⌚

Meanwhile, Tether’s USDT remains the undisputed monarch of the space, with a staggering 66.14 billion circulating on the TRON network alone. It also recently augmented its reserves, adding an extra $735 million worth of BTC to its holdings. How terribly extravagant! 🤩

According to Santiment, it is frequently mentioned in trading circles, with many associating the asset with profit-taking targets and profit percentages. How dreadfully mercenary. 🤑
