Bitcoin investing this week is influenced by

Bitcoin investing this week is influenced by anticipation of the Federal Reserve policy minutes. Crypto markets often react sharply to monetary tone shifts, especially when liquidity conditions change. On the surface, it makes sense. But most financial institutions that use RippleNet do so without the ODL feature, and they don't buy XRP. Ripple has also been making a push into stablecoins recently. It bought Rail, a stablecoin payments platform, in August. At the end of last year, it launched Ripple USD , its own U.S. dollar stablecoin. Beyond equities, alternative assets deserve attention. Gold has long been a traditional safe haven during fiscal and political uncertainty, and its role remains intact. However, Bitcoin is increasingly viewed by some investors as a modern hedge against U.S. fiscal dysfunction. It seems the unthinkable has finally happened — a digital cryptocurrency becoming a safe-haven reserve, at least in people’s minds. Bitcoin investing continues to attract mainstream finance coverage as sovereign wealth funds reportedly assess Bitcoin allocations, signaling growing acceptance among conservative capital pools.
