Along with Bitcoin and the digital market space, it depreciated over the weekend and has fallen precipitously. Its price dropped more than 800 basis points daily from top to bottom, reaching a 6-day low of $2.82

Even though XRP has gained some ground and is trading at nearly $2.9, it is still down over 4% for the day. Along with the rest of the market, the cross-border token has also corrected because whales reversed their hold strategy.

These significant market players amassed billions of dollars’ worth of XRP making them one of the main drivers of the cryptocurrency’s rise since the elections.

However, they have reversed course and sold $70 million worth of XRP last week; whales are especially significant because they can influence market movements through their significant buys or sell-offs.

The three countries have already retaliated against the imposed tariffs, and there is disagreement within the crypto industry regarding how this will impact the larger market. As per a Feb. According to one White House statement,

β€œTrump is enacting an additional 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% tariff on imports from China.”. Canada’s energy resources will be subject to a 10% tariff reduction. β€œ

Tariffs increase inflation, which could result in higher interest rates. Generally, investors gravitate toward more conventional assets like bonds and term deposits rather than riskier ones like crypto assets.

Prime Minister Justin TrudeauΒ of Canada declaredΒ in a press conferenceΒ shortly after Trump’s announcementΒ that he wouldΒ imposeΒ aΒ 25 percentΒ tariff on $106.5 billion worth of US goods.

The World Trade Organization will receive a complaint from China’s Ministry of Commerce amid plans to β€œtake corresponding countermeasures Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum directed the Secretary of Economy to β€œexecute plan B,” which consists of β€œtariff and non-tariff measures in defense of Mexico’s interests.”.
