XRP Rebounds 8% as $30B Flows Back In After Trade-War Rout

XRP clawed back $30 billion in market value after last week’s tariff-driven collapse, ripping from $2.37 to $2.58 on explosive institutional ￰0￱ rebound printed one of the year’s heaviest sessions, confirming aggressive dip-buying as traders reposition ahead of fresh macro ￰1￱ Background The recovery follows a 50% wipe-out triggered by President Trump’s 100% China-tariff declaration, which wiped $19 billion in crypto liquidations in ￰2￱ buying has since restored confidence, with analysts eyeing a potential record weekly close above $3.12 that would mark XRP’s strongest candle since ￰3￱ markets remain risk-off—Dow –900, Nasdaq –820—but crypto desks flagged selective institutional inflows into ￰4￱ Action Summary XRP jumped 8.5% between Oct 12 05:00 and Oct 13 04:00, trading a $0.22 (9%) range $2.37–$2.59.
