This crash has mirrored the performance of other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>Still, there are some positives that may lead to a rebound in the coming weeks. For example, data shows that the Ripple USD (RLUSD) market capitalization has jumped to over $1.4 billion, a trend that may continue in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, data compiled by SoSoValue shows that demand for XRP ETFs has continued rising this year. They have added over $91 million in inflows this year, more than Ethereum\u2019s $55 million and Bitcoin\u2019s $278 million outflows.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there are rising odds that the US will allow retirement accounts like 401(k) to invest in the crypto market. President Donald Trump has supported such a move, and in a CNBC interview today, Atkins did as well.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JUST IN: \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 SEC Chair Paul Atkins says now is the &#8220;right&#8221; time to open the $12.5 trillion 401k retirement market to crypto. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0AMhAuH5tM\">pic.twitter.com\/0AMhAuH5tM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WatcherGuru\/status\/2016856304044642543?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">January 29, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Retirement accounts have over $12 trillion in assets under management.
