XRP ETF Rumor Denied; SHIB Hack; Bitcoin Forecast
- Main event: XRP ETF denial, SHIB hack aftermath, Bitcoin price prediction.
- XRP ETF denied, SHIB swap unconfirmed.
- Bitcoin $200,000 forecast lacks statement from Presto.
Bloomberg and ProShares debunk rumors of an upcoming XRP ETF, hackers swapped 150 billion SHIB tokens, and Bitcoin is forecasted to reach $200,000.
These events highlight the volatility in cryptocurrency markets, affecting trading behavior and market sentiment profoundly.
ProShares Confirms No April 30 XRP ETF Launch
Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart confirmed that there is no official launch date for ProShares XRP ETFs, undermining recent rumors. ProShares disclosed it has no scheduled launches for April 30.
Hackers executed a swap of 150 billion SHIB tokens, though the details remain unconfirmed by official channels. The event suggests potential vulnerabilities in the asset’s security protocols.
XRP Increases 0.59% Despite ETF Denial
The debunked XRP ETF rumors did not prevent a 0.59% increase in XRP’s trading price. Meanwhile, the SHIB swap has generated concern about short-term volatility risks.
While ProShares stated intent to launch futures-based ETFs, not spot XRP funds, the market remains uncertain about regulatory approval, impacting market sentiment for XRP. As ProShares spokesperson via Ben Strack noted in Blockworks, “ProShares does not have any ETF launches scheduled for Wednesday, April 30. We have no further news to share at this time.”
Crypto ETF Patterns Precede Spot Approvals
Past anticipation cycles around crypto ETFs, such as Bitcoin’s, show a precedent of futures-based ETFs preceding spot approvals. This pattern causes fluctuations in asset prices.
Historically, large-scale hacks like SHIB’s have altered market forecasts, affecting public confidence. These incidents underline the need for improved security measures in crypto.
