Three reasons why XRP price could bounce back to $1.60



$XRP price rose 6% to a three-week high of $1.42 on Thursday, becoming the strongest gainer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

According to data from crypto.news, $XRP ($XRP) price rallied to $1.42 on Thursday, April 16, with its market cap moving back above $87 billion and reclaiming the spot of being the 4th largest crypto asset in the market. The token still lies nearly 23% lower than where it began this year.

While hopes of de-escalation in the U.S. and Iran war have lifted the market sentiment, triggering a bounce across most crypto assets, $XRP price could specifically benefit from three catalysts over the coming sessions.

First, the most significant hurdle for $XRP has been regulatory ambiguity over its security status, a long-standing challenge that the CLARITY Act could solve. As such, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to mark up the bill for later this month.

The bill is important as if it clears this committee, it would formally codify $XRP as a digital commodity, moving it from permitted existence to protected legality. This would effectively remove the remaining litigation discount and provide a clear legal green light for major institutions to deploy capital.

Second, $XRP price stands to benefit from renewed institutional demand for the token while retail investors remain cautious.

Data from SoSoValue show that spot $XRP ETFs have recorded their fourth consecutive day of inflows for the first time since March, drawing in a combined $38.86 million within the period. This brings the combined assets under management for U.S. spot $XRP ETFs to over $1.25 billion.

Such steady accumulation from smart money often precedes a sharp move upwards when it absorbs the remaining supply of tokens held in exchanges, currently at multi-year lows.

Third, the toke

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Coinbase’s Chief Policy Officer, Faryar Shirzad, said in a Thursday interview with FOX Business that meaningful progress is being made on the long-delayed CLARITY Act, the crypto market-structure bill that has been stuck in Congress for nearly five months. Potential Markup As Early As This MonthDuring the interview, Shirzad described recent developments as encouraging. He said that over the past days, there has been “really great work taking place” and that Coinbase has been focused on the stablecoin rewards topic, which he described as critical for resolving the broader dispute.  Related Reading: ABA Challenges White House Report On Stablecoins, Flags Major ConcernsShirzad added that he expects Chair Tim Scott to schedule the anticipated markup as early as this month. He also said expectations are that the bill could reach a full Senate vote in May, if the committee process moves forward on the proposed timeline.When asked about the deadlock tied to the stablecoin rewards provision, Shirzad cited the recent White House economic study that examined whether the provision would trigger “deposit flight” from traditional banking institutions. According to his interpretation of the findings, there is no evidence that such an outcome would occur. He said the matter is largely “put on bed,” though he noted that banking lobby groups are reportedly still trying to oppose stablecoins.  In Shirzad’s view, the resistance reflects broader efforts to defend President Trump’s vision for crypto policy in the United States—a vision the president has repeatedly described as aiming to make “America the crypto capital of the world.”CLARITY Act Timeline WatchShirzad’s comments also aligned with Wednesday reporting that suggested Senate Banking Committee members and staff were co

Ethereum Foundation-funded program exposes 100 DPRK workers in crypto
The Ethereum Foundation said it funded a six-month project that exposed 100 North Korean operatives who had infiltrated Web3 companies under fake identities.
The foundation on Thursday shared a recap of its ETH Rangers program, which was launched in late 2024 to provide "stipends for individuals doing public goods security work" within the ecosystem.
One of the recipients used the capital to build the Ketman Project to focus on investigating “fake developers” embedded within crypto, particularly operatives from the People's Republic of Korea.
During the six-month stipend period, the Ketman Project identified "100 different DPRK IT workers operating within Web3 organizations" and reached out to about 53 projects to alert them about having potentially employed active DPRK operatives.
"This work directly addresses one of the most pressing operational security threats facing the Ethereum ecosystem today," the Ethereum Foundation said.
North Korean operatives have been plaguing the crypto sector, leading to billions worth of crypto stolen over the years. One of the highest-profile hacking groups from North Korea is known as the Lazarus Group.

NiSource, a U.S. utility company, has secured a long-term energy supply agreement with an Alphabet subsidiary to power a major data center in northern Indiana. The announcement also included an expanded partnership with Amazon, aimed at accelerating power delivery to its facilities while moving up bill credits for residential customers.The deals reflect a broader trend among Big Tech companies racing to secure reliable, clean energy sources as artificial intelligence continues to drive explosive growth in data center demand. To meet this need, NiSource is leveraging its GenCo model — a dedicated supply structure that serves large commercial customers through owned generation assets and market resources, without passing additional costs to existing utility customers.Under the GenCo framework, approximately 340 megawatts will come from a GenCo-owned generation portfolio, with up to 175 megawatts of seasonal market purchases supplementing supply as needed. NIPSCO, NiSource's Indiana utility, will also provide the necessary transmission infrastructure to support these large-scale operations. Power delivery for Alphabet is expected to begin in summer 2026.One of the most notable aspects of the GenCo model is its consumer benefit structure. Existing ratepayers are projected to see an estimated $1.25 billion in total system-wide savings, translating to roughly $90 to $115 annually per household. NiSource CEO Lloyd Yates noted that the latest Amazon agreement builds on a previously announced $1 billion in customer savings, reinforcing the company's commitment to balancing growth with affordability.The announcements come as energy and policy debates around data centers intensify nationwide. Maine lawmakers recently voted to pause approvals for new large data centers over concerns that surging power demand could strain regional grids and raise household electricity

#Issue with meme coins like SHIBHyperliquid: King of liquidityCenter of altcoin rallyPressure on XRP increasing Advertisement It is not hyperbole to say that Shiba Inu is experiencing one of the most stable periods in its recent history.SHIB has entered an exceptionally tight consolidation range around the $0.0000060 level, with price action flattening and volatility significantly compressing following months of continuous downtrend and volatility spikes.Technically speaking, this type of structure is uncommon for an asset that has historically been driven by cycles of speculation and hype. The chart clearly demonstrates the exhaustion of selling pressure: the price is hugging short-term moving averages rather than reacting violently to them, lower lows have stopped printing and candles are getting smaller.

This degree of stability is occurring despite comparatively poor liquidity conditions throughout the larger cryptocurrency market.

When SHIB compresses rather than expands, it indicates that buyers are not yet strong enough to start a breakout, and aggressive sellers have mostly retreated.Issue with meme coins like SHIBParticularly for meme coins that mainly rely on narrative and quick price growth to draw attention, low volatility tends to decrease visibility and interest.
