XRP News Today: Trump Fed Visit and AI Policy Spark 12% XRP Surge Crypto Uncertainty

Trump’s scheduled visit to the Federal Reserve has intensified speculation about its potential effects on the cryptocurrency market, particularly for altcoins such as AVAX, ADA, BNB, and XRP. The U.S. president’s actions and statements during the visit, alongside unresolved tariff disputes with the European Union, have created a climate of uncertainty. Analysts note that while short-term price fluctuations are likely, the medium- to long-term outlook for cryptocurrencies remains vulnerable to negative developments, especially if the Fed maintains its hawkish stance and imposes new tariffs. The market has already seen a temporary stabilization after recent declines, but a downward trend looms if the Fed does not ease interest rates and Trump escalates trade tensions [1].

AVAX and ADA are under pressure due to broader macroeconomic factors. AVAX, which rebounded from $22.8 to $25.4, faces challenges such as ecosystem underperformance against competitors like Solana. A breakdown below $20.5 could reignite bearish momentum. ADA, currently testing support at $0.73–$0.71, has shown resilience after bouncing from $0.765 but remains constrained by a critical bearish market sentiment. Analysts caution that prolonged selling pressure could push ADA below $0.70, though a recovery above $0.843 might signal renewed bullish intent [1].

BNB, despite approaching its all-time high of $810, exhibits signs of weakness. Persistent trading volumes near $730 have raised concerns about a potential pullback to $625–$580 if the $686 resistance level fails. XRP, however, has shown mixed signals. After a $140 million sell-off by a Ripple co-founder, the token rebounded amid regulatory speculation but remains volatile. Maintaining $3.4 is crucial for XRP to sustain its rally, with $2.93 and $2.65 as key support levels in a prolonged downturn [1].

Indirect factors, including Trump’s proposed AI policy, could further complicate the crypto landscape. The executive order on AI development has already spurred a 12% surge in XRP and a Trump-branded meme token ahead of the FOMC meeting, reflecting speculative trading activity [2]. While the Fed’s monetary policy primarily shapes risk-on environments, individual altcoin movements depend on project-specific dynamics and regulatory clarity. For instance, BNB’s stalling near its ATH underscores the fragility of speculative gains, while XRP’s volatility highlights ongoing regulatory uncertainty surrounding utility tokens [2].

The interplay between Trump’s AI initiatives and Fed policy creates a complex backdrop for investors. While blockchain infrastructure might benefit from AI-driven innovation, the absence of concrete regulatory frameworks means most movements remain speculative. Traders are closely monitoring the FOMC meeting and Trump’s statements to gauge capital flows, with AVAX, ADA, BNB, and XRP likely to remain sensitive to both macroeconomic and geopolitical shifts [2].
