Market Updates: Ripple Pilots Tokenized Bonds in South Korea, XRP Ledger Taps Boundless for Privacy Upgrade, Tether Launches Self-Custody Wallet
Global crypto markets witnessed a series of significant developments today. Ripple unveiled a bond tokenization pilot in South Korea, while the XRP Ledger announced a privacy-focused integration with Boundless. At the same time, U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs attracted strong inflows, 
and Tether launched a new self-custodial wallet.
To begin with, Ripple announced a partnership with Kyobo Life Insurance to pilot blockchain-based settlement for government bonds within South Korea’s financial system.

As part of the initiative, Ripple will deploy its custody platform, Ripple Custody, to handle the issuance, settlement, and storage of tokenized bonds.

The move targets longstanding inefficiencies in traditional bond markets, where settlements typically involve multiple intermediaries and can take up to two days. By contrast, blockchain-based processes enable near real-time execution.

If successful, the pilot could reduce counterparty risk and improve capital efficiency. Ripple also indicated that the project may expand into broader tokenized treasury operations across South Korea’s financial ecosystem.

Alongside its bond initiative, Ripple’s ecosystem is progressing on the technological side. In a separate announcement, the XRP Ledger revealed an integration with Boundless to enhance transaction privacy.

The upgrade leverages zero-knowledge technology tailored for institutional use, allowing sensitive transaction details to remain hidden while still meeting regulatory requirements.

According to Boundless CEO Shiv Shankar, the system conceals key information such as transaction size and counterparties, while enabling regulators to access necessary data through selective disclosure.

While  (BTC) surges past the $75,000 mark and  (ETH) follows with strong momentum,  seems to be stuck in neutral.
Over the past 24 hours, XRP is down about 1%, slipping 1.5% over the week and more than 8% over the past month. Although there’s a modest 14-day gain, the overall trend still feels weak.
So what’s holding XRP back?
📉 1. Strong Resistance at $1.40
XRP continues to struggle at a critical resistance level. Buyers aren’t stepping in with enough strength to push it higher.
💸 2. High Interest Rate Pressure
With low expectations for rate cuts in April 2026, investors remain cautious. Higher rates reduce appetite for risk assets like crypto.
🌍 3. Geopolitical Tensions
Ongoing uncertainty around the US-Iran situation is keeping markets on edge. Traders are hesitant to take aggressive positions.
📊 4. Broader Market Weakness
Despite short-term rallies, the crypto market has been in a broader downtrend since October 2025. XRP is simply reflecting that larger pattern.
What’s next for XRP?
Some analysts expect a potential move toward $1.53 in early May—but also warn that it may struggle to hold above $1.40 afterward.
📌 Bottom line:
XRP isn’t broken—it’s just waiting for the right macro conditions and stronger market confidence to make its move.

Bitcoin has retraced back to the $71,000 level, as on-chain data shows profit-taking behavior among investors has once again witnessed a spike.

Bitcoin Realized Profit Crossed $20M/Hour During Rally
In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Realized Profit, which is an indicator that measures, as its name suggests, the total amount of profit that BTC addresses/investors are realizing through their transactions.

Below is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows how the 24-hour simple moving average (SMA) of this Bitcoin metric has fluctuated over the last few months.

As is visible in the graph, the 24-hour SMA of the Bitcoin Realized Profit has seen a couple of spikes of a notable scale during the last few days. The spikes came as BTC recovered from its recent lows and broke back above the $73,000 level. Thus, it would appear that investors took the recovery opportunity to exit with profits.

During the spikes, profit-taking exceeded $20 million per hour. Since this investor is selling, BTC has retraced back below $71,000, indicating that the profit realization likely played a role in the rally topping out.

This is actually a pattern that has been witnessed a few times during the recent consolidation range already. “Every approach to the $70k–$ 80k band faces thin liquidity and profit-taking pressure, capping the bounce,” noted the analytics firm. Given that the latest rally has also been obstructed by profit-taking, it would appear that fresh liquidity capable of absorbing the selling pressure is still absent from the market.

The continued sideways movement from Bitcoin has meant that a chunk of the userbase has remained stuck underwater. As Glassnode has pointed out in another X post, a huge number of a
