Cryptocurrency Markets in Flux: Bitcoin and Ether Near Critical Levels

The post XRP ETF Becomes 2025’s Biggest U.S. Fund Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Dogecoin also eased, sliding 2% to $0.2735 after briefly touching a seven-month peak of $0.2879. The divergence highlights an emerging trend in crypto markets: while institutions appear eager…
