by Crypto Market Overview
The crypto market has shown signs of stabilization during the European morning hours, after a period of volatility. The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) recorded a slight decline of approximately 0.35%, indicating a relatively quiet trading environment.
Bitcoin’s Performance
Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a modest drop of about 0.6% over the past 24 hours, bringing its price down to around $66,000. Investors are closely monitoring the market for signs of recovery as Bitcoin continues to navigate through fluctuating price levels.
XRP’s Notable Gains
In contrast to Bitcoin’s slight decline, XRP emerged as the biggest gainer among major cryptocurrencies, surging more than 4.5% to surpass 64 cents. This marks XRP’s highest price level since March 25, driven by optimism surrounding a significant token unlock and hopes for a resolution in the long-standing SEC-Ripple lawsuit.

Ether ETFs Experience Recovery
Spot ether ETFs have broken a four-day losing streak, recording net inflows of $33 million on Tuesday. This marks only the second day of positive flows since their listing on July 23.

In contrast, BlackRock’s ETHA leads the inflow charts with $618 million.
Bitcoin ETFs See Outflows
While ether ETFs rebound, bitcoin equivalents saw a reversal, breaking a four-day winning streak with $18 million in net outflows. Grayscale’s GBTC led these outflows, losing $73 million, while other products from Fidelity, Ark Invest, and VanEck experienced outflows ranging from $2 million to $7 million. Notably, BlackRock’s IBIT was the exception, garnering nearly $75 million in inflows.
Nvidia’s Volatility Compared to Bitcoin and Ether
Nvidia (NVDA) is projected to experience more significant price swings compared to both Bitcoin and Ether. The 30-day options implied volatility for NVDA recently surged from an annualized 48% to 71%. In contrast, the implied volatility for Bitcoin and Ether has declined, with Bitcoin’s DVOL index dropping from 68% to 49% and Ether’s from 70% to 55%. NVDA has become a critical barometer for market sentiment, reflecting trends not only in equities but also in the crypto space.
Conclusion
As the crypto market navigates through fluctuations, XRP’s recent gains and the recovery of ether ETFs provide a glimmer of hope for investors.
