XRP slides as retail demand cools, shrugs off Ripple's MiCA license approval

Ripple edges lower while trading around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. The remittance token upholds a broader bearish bias, attributed to softening retail interest and the lack of strong catalysts to prevent rallies from being sold as investors appear to prefer short-term gains.

Samsung was priced for perfection — Then came the reality check

The first proper AI stress test may not have arrived with weak demand, a capex warning, or some sudden crack in the data-centre story.

EUR/USD: US Dollar rally stalls, but for how long?

The EUR/USD pair trimmed part of its recent losses and settled around 1.1450 as demand for the US Dollar (USD) cooled down.
