XRP price today: XRP holds above $2 as SEC exit and crypto-policy calendar come into focus

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:38 ET — Market closed XRP held above $2 on Sunday, extending a rally that has outpaced major tokens as traders latched onto U.S. regulatory signals and new ETF demand. The token was up about 5% over the past 24 hours at roughly $2.10, according to Coinbase pricing. Coinbase The move matters because XRP has been unusually sensitive to Washington’s tone after years of legal and regulatory scrutiny, and because U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds have added a stock-like wrapper for investors who want exposure without holding the token directly. An ETF is a fund that trades

Meta stock ends lower as New York warning-label law and teen-user leak renew scrutiny

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:31 ET — Market closed Meta Platforms shares slipped in light post-Christmas trading on Friday, with investors weighing fresh scrutiny over teen engagement and “addictive” social-media features. The Washington Post+1 The issue matters for Meta because youth safety is shifting from reputational risk into rules, enforcement actions and lawsuits that can force product changes. That can affect user time spent on apps and, in turn, advertising inventory — still Meta’s core business. Reuters+1 It also arrives in a holiday-thinned market, when small shifts in sentiment can move large-cap tech shares more than usual. AP News

Solana Price Today (SOL/USD): SOL Trades Near $126 as ETF Flows, DeFi Slowdown, and Macro Regulation Headlines Shape the Forecast

Solana’s price is back in the spotlight on Thursday, December 18, 2025, as traders weigh a tug-of-war between supportive institutional narratives (ETFs, payments, tokenization) and softer on-chain activity (lower DeFi deposits and cooling memecoin-driven volume). As of today, Solana (SOL) is trading around $126.60 per coin, with CoinGecko showing a 24-hour range of roughly $121.76 to $133.35. CoinGecko That puts SOL firmly in the “mid-$120s battlefield” zone—where short-term technical signals can flip quickly, and where sentiment is being yanked around by a busy news cycle touching everything from spot Solana ETFs to U.S. crypto regulation.
