Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: XRP, BlackRock & Cryptos – American Wrap 18 January

XRP price recovery rally slips away despite Ripple CEO saying Spot ETFs validate crypto

Ripple (XRP) price continues to struggle for the third month in a row after the epic 50% rally that spanned between mid-October and November 6. Meanwhile, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has remained vocal, this time explaining how spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have validated crypto as an industry.

BlackRock, already the world’s biggest asset manager, has outdone Tether in regard to the pace of accumulation, which has been in the industry since 2014.

The spot Bitcoin ETF race has seen Grayscale leading the pack, but when considering fresh applications, BlackRock stands at the top of the leaderboard. Its rapid pace of expansion is outshining not just competitors but also entities that are not even part of the race, such as Tether.
