  • Wall Street Influence on XRP Prices Confirmed by New Academic Study
    April 26, 2026, 4:46 PM EDT. A recent study from Yildiz Technical University shows that XRP and major cryptocurrencies are still influenced by traditional financial markets, not independent hedges. Published in the Journal of Risk and Financial Management (April 2026), the research analyzed data from 2018 to 2026 using advanced statistical techniques. Findings reveal that G10 stock indices, government bond yields, and credit default swaps (CDS) are primary drivers while cryptocurrencies mainly follow these trends. The study also notes that during crises, the usual order can shift, with sovereign risk measures gaining influence over stocks and cryptos. This highlights cryptocurrencies' continued dependence on traditional financial signals, questioning their role as standalone safe havens or independent assets.
