Ripple prices have moderated since their extraordinary surge on Thursday morning, but the currency is still up more than 10% on Friday.

The Ripple to USD exchange rate appreciated from $0.210449 to $0.232294, an increase of 10.38%.

It all happened so quickly. I started writing my daily Ripple news update, and halfway through, Ripple announced that American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) would add to its growing pile of clients.

Investors were ecstatic to hear that American Express—a known giant of finance—will partner with Santander UK “to create a transaction channel between the U.S. and U.K.” (Source: ".

Litecoin is the “silver to Bitcoin’s gold.”

Or at least that’s what analysts (this analyst included!) keep saying. It is repeated so often that today’s Litecoin news update should be utterly predictable.

On Friday morning, the Litecoin to USD exchange rate advanced 4.84% to $66.67.

It was the fourth day of positive gains for LTC. As I said above, this shouldn’t come as a surprise, because Bitcoin is also surging. It reached $7,867.35 by the time this article went to press.

Although BTC is gaining more quickly than LTC, the relationship between the.

Ripple News Update
On Thursday morning, Ripple prices experienced a spontaneous surge that sent XRP skyrocketing to $0.262250. This 24.41% increase in the Ripple to USD exchange rate happened in under an hour.

If you’re wondering what could have sparked such a rally, consider this: American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) just announced that it will use Ripple for settling FX transactions between the U.S. and U.K.

“We’ve already seen evidence that blockchain technology is playing a transformational role in the way.

The worst thing about fear is that it starts a vicious cycle. Panic only begets more panic. And if you’re looking for proof of this phenomenon, look no further than today’s Ripple news.

XRP prices dropped 11.29% in yesterday’s trading, extending the sell-off that began on Monday.

Fear is likely behind the recent fall; fear of being the last one to exit a sinking ship.

But that fear is not grounded on anything factual. There was no material change to our Ripple price forecast this week, except for a few pieces of bullish news from SWELL.

Have you ever hiked for so long that you needed a break? The current lull in ETH prices appears to be nothing more than that. Investors simply needed a breather before continuing the upward trek toward our $400.00 Ethereum price forecast.

It’s not as if ETH prices were rocked by disastrous Ethereum news. On the forums and in the trade publications, the leading story is still the Byzantium upgrade that took place yesterday.

For anyone unfamiliar with Byzantium, it’s simply a package of improvements to the core Ethereum technology. By implementing these changes,.

Ripple prices are upbeat on Monday morning, benefitting from two tailwinds: A reverse-rotation from Bitcoin to altcoins, and the start of Ripple’s SWELL conference.

We will provide a rundown of SWELL highlights in tomorrow’s Ripple news update. However, today’s update will focus on the reverse-rotation of cryptocurrency funds.

The shift in flow was apparent to anyone looking at BTC Dominance.

For those unfamiliar with BTC Dominance, it is a measure of how concentrated funds are in Bitcoin (relative to the rest of the crypto market). When it.

It seems like a lifetime ago when Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin was in Moscow, wining and dining the Russian elite. He sat on stage next to President Vladimir Putin and forged relationships with government agencies. All seemed well.

That is, until yesterday.

On Tuesday, Putin warned against the growing influence of cryptocurrencies. He cited “opportunities to launder funds acquired through criminal activities, tax evasion, even terrorism financing, as well as the spread of fraud schemes” as his main concerns.

But there were even harsher words from his.

Bitcoin’s ascent to $5,000 was put on hold yesterday as investors priced in harsh comments from Russian authorities. Based on those comments—some of them from President Vladimir Putin himself—it seems as if the Kremlin is turning bearish on cryptocurrencies.

BTC prices weren’t hurt by the regulatory shift, but investors should be wary. This is major Bitcoin news. It could affect our.

Yesterday, I wrote that Ripple appeared to be stuck around the $0.20 handle and that something extraordinary could help it break free. Well, that event is almost here: SWELL.

SWELL is Ripple’s first annual conference, and though it probably won’t make the front page of The New York Times, it’s definitely front-page Ripple news. It is, for example, a much-debated topic on XRPchat.com, the main place to source Ripple trading.

In the last week, XRP prices have crossed the $0.20 handle 12 different times. Half on the way up, half on the way down. Did Ripple news really fluctuate that much day to day? Of course not.

It doesn’t really matter where Ripple prices land on a daily basis. What truly matters is the direction it trends in and the spectrum of its potential. Right now, that spectrum appears to have tightened around $0.20.

But don’t be fooled into thinking that $0.20 is our Ripple price prediction.

This is a temporary lull in Ripple’s growth, most likely caused by a fear-driven.

Remember the Ethereum flash crash in June? It was front-page Ethereum news when it happened. Prices dropped from $365.79 to $0.10 in an instant, then recovered to $300.00 once the technical difficulties were overcome.

Apparently, regulators at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) remember the crash quite clearly, because the agency is investigating what happened with margin trading accounts during the crash.

Does this affect the Ethereum price forecast? Probably not.

There’s a chance margin trading rules could change, in which case ETH prices might take a hit. But U.S..

Although BTC slipped 3.74% on Monday, there is more than enough Bitcoin news to reenergize the price.

For example, Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS) is “weighing a new trading operation dedicated to Bitcoin and other digital currencies,” according to an exclusive report in The Wall Street Journal. (Source: "Goldman Sachs Explores a New World: Trading Bitcoin," The Wall Street Journal, October 2, 2017.)

Over the last week, there was a broad-based recovery in the cryptocurrency market as memories of a Chinese crackdown faded into the rearview. It was front-page Bitcoin news.

That said, let’s not pretend that the recovery is evenly spread—it isn’t.

There is a handy little metric called BTC dominance that shows us Bitcoin’s market share as a percentage of total cryptocurrency market share. In the last week, it rose steadily from 47.5% to 49.3%.

What does that mean?

It means that investors consolidated around Bitcoin..

Clarity is the best form of Ethereum news we can hope for these days. Clarity on initial coin offerings (ICOs), cryptocurrency trading, and smart contracts. We need regulators to provide clear regulations on these issues or else the Ethereum price forecast is going nowhere.

However, there’s good news on that score.

China may have cracked down on cryptocurrencies, but Japan is taking a friendlier approach to Ethereum and Bitcoin. It outlined a clear licensing procedure for cryptocurrency exchanges. So far, 11 domestic exchanges are approved for trading.

Among them are QUOINE, Bit Bank Corporation, SBI Virtual Currencies,.

Only days after Litecoin recovered from China’s ban on cryptocurrency exchanges, there appear to be bearish rumblings in South Korea. Specifically, the country banned initial coin offerings or ICOs. This Litecoin news could be potentially disastrous for the Litecoin price prediction.

You see, the vast majority of Litecoin’s trading volume came from Huobi and OKCoin, two Chinese exchanges that are now under pressure to cease operations.

The loss of both exchanges was expected to severely crush any Litecoin price.

As predicted, Bitcoin (BTC) has only continued to climb since getting past that pesky $4,000 threshold. While the coin has been in this territory before, the major event that waylaid the cryptocurrency's progress was that unexpected Chinese ICO block.

With no calamitous news hitting the coin in the past few weeks, investors are bullish again on BTC and the coin is surging once more, getting to $4,250 just a day after the digital currency crossed $4,000, before falling a little bit back to about $4,166 as of the writing of this article.

The BTC rise was slowed a bit by.

As confidence returns to the cryptocurrency market, investors saw fit to drive the Ethereum to USD exchange rate back above $300.00. It rose as high as $306.00 for the first time in two weeks.

While there was no silver bullet of Ethereum news, the overall ETH price prediction is starting to look rosy again. Markets have absorbed the shock of China’s ban on cryptocurrency exchanges and appear ready to move on. So what are they moving on to?

Well, the Byzantium.

Although you can’t tell from XRP price movements, there was big Ripple news yesterday: namely, that Ripple opened an office in Singapore.

If this doesn’t sound like much to you, perhaps I should add that Singapore is a major financial center in the Southeast Asia region. It is a small country, sure, but its impact on global trade and finance is HUGE. Every bank of consequence has a big office there.

Moreover, the government of Singapore is openly seeking new fintech and innovation. It could very well pose a threat to SWIFT, the leading settlement company in.

Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, in general, are already well-known for their ability to travel. After all, for a "currency" totally based in the ether of the Internet, it makes sense that it would be one of the best industries for overcoming borders. No shipping required. Today, we're seeing a lot of news come in that goes to show that BTC is indeed a global phenomenon coupled with a spike in the Bitcoin prices.

The BTC price is once more just a hair under $4,000 after.
