XRP News Today: Crypto Market Rebounds 2.8% as Geopolitical Tensions Ease

The crypto market experienced a significant rebound today, with Bitcoin reclaiming the $100k level. This surge followed reports of a potential truce between Israel and Iran, which eased geopolitical tensions and calmed investor fears. U.S. President Donald Trump announced that both nations had agreed to a full truce, effectively ending what he referred to as “The 12 Day War.” This announcement provided a much-needed boost to market sentiment, which had been volatile over the weekend due to heightened conflict.

The global crypto market cap rose by 2.8% to hit $3.39 trillion as of Tuesday afternoon in Asia. Bitcoin (BTC) surged by 3.4% to cross $105k, while Ethereum (ETH) spiked by 6.7% to reclaim the $2,400 level. Major altcoins also followed the trend, with XRP (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) climbing by 8.5%, 8.2%, and 7%, respectively. This rebound came after a steep weekend sell-off triggered by intensified airstrikes and reported attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, which had caused significant declines in BTC, ETH, and SOL.

With geopolitical risks easing, market sentiment improved sharply. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index jumped 47 points to hit 65, returning to “Greed” territory. Meanwhile, the average RSI across the market rose to a neutral 58. Open interest also climbed by 4% to $135 billion, while total liquidations dropped by 28% to $482 million. Notably, most of the liquidations came from shorts, indicating a possible short squeeze that may have further fueled the rally.

Increased institutional participation further underpinned the market rebound. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $350.4 million in inflows on Monday, a sharp rise from just $6.37 million on Friday. Ethereum ETFs also saw strong inflows of $100.7 million, reversing from previous day outflows of $11.3 million. This influx of institutional capital provided a significant boost to the market.

Adding to the bullish momentum, Strategy’s Michael Saylor revealed that the company had bought another $26 million worth of Bitcoin. This purchase is part of a broader trend, with more public companies adopting Bitcoin as a long-term treasury asset. For instance, Japan’s Metaplanet recently executed a $108 million purchase, and entrepreneur and investor Anthony Pompliano announced the launch of a Bitcoin treasury firm backed by prominent institutions, with the goal of building a $1 billion Bitcoin reserve.

On the regulatory front, the Federal Reserve’s decision to remove the term “reputational risk” from its bank supervision guidelines was seen as a key catalyst. This change eliminates a subjective barrier that had deterred banks from engaging with crypto firms, potentially normalizing banking access for digital asset companies and accelerating crypto-financial integration. Industry observers believe this move could further boost the crypto market by making it more accessible to traditional financial institutions.
