Last month, Bitcoin, which had surpassed $110,000, is currently hovering in the mid-$100,000 range, while interest in Ripple, which is high among Koreans, is showing an increase of over 3%.
As of 7:50 a.m. on the 9th, Bitcoin is recorded at $105,814, down 0.06% from 24 hours ago, according to CoinMarketCap, a global cryptocurrency market tracking site. Ethereum, the second-largest by market capitalization, is also down 1.08% to $2,508 compared to the same time the previous day.
In contrast, Ripple is up 3.47% from the same time the previous day, now at $2.26. This increase appears to be due to news that three companies, including the global payment service Webbus International, energy company VivoPower, and American retail chain Wellgistics, have decided to accumulate Ripple.
However, analysts suggest that it will be difficult for Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, to surge significantly this month due to tariff risks from the U.S. Recent rulings by U.S. courts regarding reciprocal tariffs and difficulties in U.S.-China trade negotiations have raised tariff uncertainties, and the conflict between U.S. President Donald Trump and Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk is acting as a negative factor.
