XRP Price Drops Amid Rising Dollar Strength and Fed Rate Decision Awaited

XRP's price has fallen by 8% to $0.68, underperforming the crypto market's 3.5% decline on July 24. This drop is due to growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by 25 basis points in its July 25-26 meeting, which is considered bad for cryptocurrencies like XRP. Traders have rotated out of high-cap cryptos to seek shelter in safer assets like the U.S. dollar, causing XRP's price to fall. From a technical standpoint, XRP has entered an overbought correction stage and may decline towards $0.59 in July or early August.

  • Uniswap founder: Founders and VCs need to stop valuing startups and pre-coin crypto projects at more than $1 billion

    Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on social media that cryptocurrency founders and venture capitalists need to stop valuing projects at over $1 billion in the early stages of development and before tokens have been released, until they are truly worth that valuation. Building something worth 7-9 figures is an incredible achievement, and not every project needs to be a unicorn at launch. Additionally, Hayden Adams said, perhaps it's naive, but I think raising funds as a founder at a fair valuation (real talent wants upside) and investing at a fair valuation as a VC (LPs want upside) can make more money. It's just harder to do it that way.

    According to CNBC, Gary Gensler, the chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated in an interview that the SEC oversees $110 trillion in capital markets, with approximately half in the stock market and half in the bond and other markets. Cryptocurrency is only a small part of the entire market.
