XRP wipes $11 billion just 48 hours after Ripple case dismissed

President Donald Trump’s re-election and the news that the now-former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler would resign helped XRP soar from about $0.51 to January highs near $3.31 for a 549% rally. Events in the subsequent months provided substantially fewer tailwinds, with even the SEC’s watershed decision to abandon its lawsuit against Ripple Labs triggering only a short-lived rally. In fact, though the immediate reaction to the news was positive and led to a 14.35% rally from March 18 lows near $2.23 to March 19 highs near $2.55, sending the token’s market capitalization to $149.18 billion, subsequent trading proved something of a bloodbath. Specifically, XRP erased $11.4 billion within just 48 hours despite it shedding arguably the biggest bearish factor that kept it depressed since the lawsuit was first filed in 2021, per the data Finbold retrieved from CoinMarketCap on March 21.

The cumulative valuation of digital assets soared from $2.62 trillion on March 18 to a March 20 high of $2.81 trillion. By press time on March 21, the figure diminished by some $110 billion and stands at $2.7 trillion. Total cryptocurrency market cap, 7-day chart.

While President Trump’s protectionist tariffs may yet prove positive in the long run, in the short term, they have generated an escalating trade war that has ensured traders are uncertain about their investments, consumers are uncertain about the prices of necessary goods, and analysts are speculating if the U.S. is already in a recession. Still, not all headwinds can be directly linked to the commander-in-chief. Breakthroughs in China have shaken the increasingly important technology sector, a shift that had a spillover effect into other industries and is, by all accounts, visible among digital assets. Long-term picture remains bullish for XRP Despite the turmoil and the likely short-term disappointment many XRP bulls might be feeling, it is worth pointing out that the token remains substantially above the levels it had been maintaining for years.
