With China currently facing a whopping tariff hit and South American nations receiving only about 10%, there’s actually a significant trade advantage that has emerged.

Summary: ⚈ Ripple will unlock 1 billion XRP on May 1, worth over $2.2 billion. ⚈ The added supply may briefly pressure XRP, already down 2.78% today. ⚈ Most unlocked XRP is usually relocked, limiting long-term price impact. While XRP has been on a mild uptrend since mid-April, reaching two temporary highs near $2.30, the last 24 hours saw a substantial downtrend as the token plunged 2.78% to its press time price of $2.23. XRP 30-day price chart. Source: Finbold The timing of the downward correction has been particularly unfortunate as Ripple Labs is scheduled to unlock 1 billion XRP, worth just over $2.2 billion, tomorrow, on May 1. Under most circumstances, the company’s scheduled unlocks, which are part of its long-term strategy and the long-standing escrow system, don’t have a meaningful impact on the token’s price action. However, the sudden jump in supply could exacerbate the existing downtrend. In the May cycle, two Ripple wallets will become active...

Crypto trader Michaël van de Poppe believes that altcoins are primed for a bull run following an extended bear winter. Van de Poppe tells his 784,800 followers on the social media platform X that three tailwinds are pushing crypto prices higher. At the top of his list is that financial conditions are starting to ease across the world, which he says is highly favorable for risk-on assets such as altcoins and Bitcoin (BTC). “Liquidity is increasing, and therefore, Bitcoin is expected to go up… China has started firing up QE (quantitative easing), Europe has lowered the interest rates and we’re at the forefront of the US lowering interest rates and expanding the money supply (or easily said: starting doing printer brr again). That is a heavy trigger for risk-on assets and will likely start pushing Bitcoin towards a new all-time high.”  Next up, Van de Poppe thinks that investors who benefited from gold’s strong rally over the past few...

The block explorer BaseScan apparently crashed earlier today at the same time web3 social network Zora rolled out its airdrop program in chaotic fashion. The ZORA token and airdrop went live shortly before 2pm without any fanfare.
