Bitcoin recently experienced a 4% price drop, falling below $115,000 for the first time in two weeks, largely due to the monthly expiration of derivatives contracts that wiped out $390 million in futures positions. Despite this correction, data from Bitcoin futures and options markets suggest that traders remain neutral rather than bearish.

XRP has recently experienced a significant price rally, surging past $3.25 and gaining over 30% in just one week. This bullish momentum is being driven by a combination of renewed institutional interest, positive developments in the broader crypto market, and favorable political news from Washington that could improve the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies.

A surge in positive sentiment toward cryptocurrencies in the United States is fueling a significant increase in hiring demand for blockchain-related jobs. This trend is closely linked to recent legislative developments, such as the passage of the “Responsible Financial Innovation Act” and the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, which have created a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment.
