Vanguard’s crypto brokerage services had opened the gates for major-caps during an all-around crypto thunderstorm. Now, the markets are enjoying a reversal of Monday’s downturn, putting Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL) & Bitcoin (BTC) back above key support thresholds.
Vanguard’s ‘Hot Sauce’ Fuels XRP & SOL Bounce
Bloomberg’s top ETF specialist Eric Blachunas called this the “Vanguard effect”. After years of resisting to list any crypto-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to their 50 million customers worldwide, Vanguard has shifted towards a more crypto-friendly approach, adding rocket fuel to the exhausted crypto markets.
Since this crypto ban was lifted, BlackRock’s IBIT ETF scored a colossal $1 billion in the first 30 minutes of trading, Mr. Balchunas notes. “Even some of the most conservative investors like to add a little hot sauce to their portfolio”, – concluded Bloomberg’s ETF analyst, while the crypto ETF markets carried on growing.
Solana’s (SOL) cheerful message noted that Vanguard’s assets under management (AUM) are currently exceeding $11 trillion – a figure nearly 4 times larger than the overall crypto market cap. With Solana (SOL) restoring the $140 threshold, XRP’s price picked up $2.20 as both altcoins saw consecutive days of ETF inflows.
