Fed Injects $13 Billion, XRP and Bitcoin Prices Surge

The US Federal Reserve has ended its Quantitative Tightening program, injecting over $13 billion into the markets through overnight repo operations. This move marks the largest liquidity injection in years.

Crypto investor Paul Barron suggests that increased liquidity could benefit tokens like XRP, which facilitate quick and inexpensive money transfers.
Market reactions include a 4% rise in Bitcoin to $93,800 and a more than 8% increase in XRP, reaching $2.18.

Liquidity Impact on Market Dynamics

Analysts indicate that liquidity shifts often boost risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.
Tom Lee from BitMine notes Bitcoin previously gained nearly 20% after similar Fed actions.

Utility Tokens and Market Outlook
