Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential elections sparked a bullish sentiment among crypto investors, looking forward to the inauguration day. However, after an impressive rally, cryptocurrencies are cooling off and raising concerns of a possible “sell the news” event. Crypto analysts have weighed in on this matter, warning of a visible market fatigue, and potential top signals. Among these analysts, Arthur Hayes believes that investors’ expectations for Trump’s administration may be misaligned to reality. “I think there exists a wide gap between crypto investor’s high expectations for how quickly Trump can change things and the reality that there are no politically acceptable solutions available to Trump to quickly bring about such change. The market will instantly wake up to the reality that Trump has at best one year to enact any policy changes on or around January 20th.” – Arthur Hayes on “Trump Truth” ...

XRP has firmly positioned itself as one of the top winners in the current market cycle, emerging from a prolonged consolidation below $1. Several key fundamentals suggest that this momentum could continue into the new year. While XRP is influenced by general market sentiment, the regulatory landscape will be crucial. Specifically, the upcoming leadership changes at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the ongoing case between the regulator and Ripple will be pivotal in determining whether XRP can make another attempt at reaching record highs.

Although such use cases might be gradually phasing out, cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular, have a history of being used for illegal purposes. To use the most straightforward example, the BTC confiscated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from dark-web marketplace Silk Road is now worth billions of dollars. These illegal activities extend beyond common criminality — a lot of the time, they involve state actors whose clandestine activities are quite far-reaching. Efforts like these can include hacking for the purpose of theft, or attempts to avoid international sanctions. Picks for you Arthur Hayes just dumped $10...
