Wondering if the crypto cycle is finally over? Today’s crypto market gives a mixed answer, especially with bulls vs bears in the news. BTC is back just above 117K, while ETH remained steady at nearly 4,541 against USD. Meanwhile, XRP caught some momentum, climbing to roughly 3.04 USD, mostly thanks to buzz around upcoming ETFs.
It has been a strange mix, but the total crypto market cap is around $4.18 trillion, stablecoins are flowing in, and big players seem interested again.

DeFi TVL is inching upward, too, sitting at $162 billion right now, which is up just a little, about 0.13% in the last day, says DefiLlama. Stablecoins increased by around 1.6%, pushing their market cap to nearly $250 billion. ETF inflows keep ticking, hitting close to $376 million a day, proving that the bull run is still ongoing.
If you dig into crypto news further, market price holds above 117K, still with gains, according to CoinGecko. Open interest and positive funding rates on derivatives platforms like CoinGlass suggest traders still lean bullish. Weekly volumes on decentralized exchanges jumped 22%, reaching $17 billion, and perpetuals hover near $24 billion, DefiLlama reports. These numbers feel a lot like past bull cycles, so maybe there’s more to come.

XRP price is bullish wih promising prediction too. Trading around $3.04 with a market cap close to 182 billion USD, some think could hit 5 dollar before the year end. The first US spot XRP ETF debuted this year with record volumes, with so many institutional whales jumping in.
According to recent news, Real-world assets locked in DeFi rose almost 7% to $16 billion, a huge confidence in the crypto market. Clearer regulations predict that XRP will rise even higher — possibly up to $17. Why not?
