Jarett Dunn, former senior developer of Pump.fun, is currently being held in custody in a London prison for violating bail conditions. The Canadian developer had previously admitted to abusing his power for fraud and transferring criminal property - he worked at Pump.fun for six weeks and embezzled about 2 million US dollars. However, during the sentencing hearing in October last year, he suddenly requested to withdraw his guilty plea, leading to his legal team withdrawing from the case. Dunn moved from London to Liverpool during his bail period, violating the electronic ankle monitoring regulations, and was arrested in June.

Last week, cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw a modest increase in inflows, marking a reversal from a period of outflows. According to CoinShares, global crypto ETPs received $226 million in inflows during the last trading week, following the previous week's $644 million. Despite this positive trend over the past two weeks, the total assets under management (AUM) continued to decrease, falling below $134 million by March 28. The increase in inflows last week indicates cautious optimism among investors, with Bitcoin leading the way in attracting investments. Altcoins also saw their first week of inflows after a series of outflows, with Ether, Solana, XRP, and Sui receiving notable amounts. Despite recent inflows, the total AUM of crypto ETPs has not seen a significant increase, dropping to its lowest level in 2025 due to a decline in cryptocurrency prices. Since January 1, 2025, the price of Bitcoin has decreased by 13.6%, while the total market capitalization has fallen by nearly 20%.

XRP (XRP) has experienced a significant drop of almost 40% to approximately $2.19, following a recent high of $3.40 two months ago. This decline is part of a larger market sell-off influenced by President Donald Trump's trade war, despite positive news such as the SEC dropping its case against Ripple. XRP is still showing a 350% increase from its low in November 2024, indicating a period of consolidation after a strong rally. There is speculation about whether this marks the end of the bullish trend or presents a good buying opportunity. The price of XRP has been fluctuating between $1.77 (support) and $3.21 (resistance) since January, with resistance near the upper limit and diminishing bullish momentum. Analysts predict a potential long entry if the price revisits the support level of $1.77. The green support area on the chart, extending down to $1.50, suggests a zone of high demand where buyers may intervene. A short-term market rebound, driven mainly by Bitcoin (BTC), could lead to a temporary recovery, but a clear breakout above $3.21 is needed to confirm a bullish trend reversal. XRP is currently in a sideways structure, with analysts monitoring reactions at the $1.77 support level before considering a long position. Analysts are observing a potential bull flag formation within the consolidation zone of $1.77 to $3.21, with a breakout above $3.21 possibly leading to a 450% price rally. XRP is currently consolidating within a long-term bullish pattern, resembling a previous rally from March 2020 to April 2021. As long as XRP remains above the 50-week moving average (1W MA50), the broader bullish cycle is expected to continue, potentially targeting $6.50 in the coming months.
