XRP lethargic trading draws closer to 130% liftoff

XRP lethargic trading draws, Ripple’s consolidation between $1.2 and $1.6 is still underway. The massive weekend losses in the cryptocurrency market affected Bitcoin and Ethereum the most as XRP embraced support at $1.3. The institutional pivot towards Ether and altcoins reflects recent trends in the broader crypto-asset ecosystem, with Bitcoin market dominance sinking to a three-year low of roughly 40% as of May 17.

Institutions dump BTC as volume soars for Ether funds

Institutional investors appear to have offloaded nearly $100 million worth of Bitcoin exposure this past week while Ether investment product volumes surged. Ethereum represented more than half of the flows to altcoin investment products with $27 million. Cardano and Polkadot also saw increased inflows of $6 million and $3.3 million respectively.

ETH prints bullish pattern, preparing for colossal upswing past $4,000

Ethereum has been steady since the weekend breakdown from levels above $4,000 to $3,100. Over the last 24 hours, the price action remained sluggish, but bulls seem to have resorted to playing defence and ensure that losses do not extend under $3,000. Ether trades at $3,390 amid a gradually building bullish momentum. Its immediate upside appears to have been limited to $3,500.

Polygon ($MATIC) Sees 75K Active User Growth

Polygon’s leading dapps in Defi include QuickSwap, Aave, and ParaSwap – Aave made the expansion over to Polygon in March. QuickSwap reported a 210% user increase last week, and a 240% increase in transactions over the same period. Polygon($MATIC) has now surpassed an $11B market cap and has cracked the top 25 of top coins per market cap, according to CoinGecko.
