Crypto Market Highlights This Week: What's Up With BTC, XRP, ETH?

Crypto Market Highlights: Another week has ended within the unpredictable world of cryptocurrencies, and investors are left cautious due to turbulent price actions. Bitcoin (BTC) price has traded around the same level in the past 7 days, whereas Ethereum (ETH) managed to lose nearly 1% within the exact duration. Ripple’s XRP price continued its consolidation phase this week, adding to speculations about its future price movements.

Mentioned below are some of the most buzz-worthy cryptocurrency market highlights reported by CoinGape Media over the past week.

Crypto Market Highlights: BTC Updates This Week

BTC price shut the week at around the $85K level, riding a roller coaster in the past seven days. The weekly bottom and peak for the flagship crypto were recorded at $83K and $86K, respectively. This turbulent price action comes despite a stockpile of bullish developments that appear to have considerably impacted investor sentiment this week.

CoinGape reported that Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy again purchased 3,459 Bitcoin for $285 million and rattled the crypto market. The MSTR stock price also surged subsequently.

Further, Semler Scientific filed to buy $500 million worth of Bitcoin amid its $30 million DoJ settlement this week. With this mover, the firm aimed to boost its Bitcoin reserves despite the broader market uncertainty.

Meanwhile, it’s worth pointing out that U.S. President Donald Trump announced up to 245% tariffs on China this week. On the other hand, China was apparently mulling over the sale of 15K BTC, another intriguing development that captured investors’ attention globally.

Besides, BTC whales were recorded as absorbing 300% of the flagship coin’s new supply, sparking optimistic speculations about long-term price prospects.

Ethereum & XRP Developments

ETH is trading around a $1,600 price level, losing roughly 3% in the last 7 days. Despite this waning action, CoinGape has reported that a rally to $4,800 awaits the second-largest crypto by market cap. This bullish ETH price projection comes as the coin is trading on the north side of a key resistance trend.

However, it’s also worth pointing out that Ethereum faced increased selling pressure due to heightened whale dumps this week. In response to this, market participants are conversely anticipating a potential dip below $1.5 may also be possible.

Besides, Ethereum ETFs recorded $32 million worth of weekly outflows this week, adding further risk to the asset’s price.

In addition, Ethereum fees have also witnessed a severe price decline as user activity decreased amid the recent market turmoil.

XRP price stood at the $2.08 price level after witnessing a highly volatile trading session over the past week. Despite soaring ETF odds, the crypto has yet to see a rising price action. Notably, 9 XRP ETFs have been filed to date, including Bitwise, 21Shares, Grayscale, and Canary Capital.

On the other hand, Ripple whales have also moved hundreds of millions of dollars worth funds this week. 

The XRP lawsuit advanced as the U.S Court of Appeals granted Ripple and the SEC’s motion to suspend their appeals while they finalized the settlement. Overall, the abovementioned updates were some of the top crypto market highlights reported by CoinGape Media over the past week.
