XRP Outperforms Crypto Majors as Japan Yen Strength Signals Bitcoin Trouble

XRP rose over 5% in the past 24 hours to drive gains among majors in the past 24 hours as a Thanksgiving holiday saw bitcoin (BTC) avoid a feared historical “massacre,” with a slight uptick across the market.

BTC was changing hands above $96,000 in the early hours Friday, a steady rise from Thursday’s lows of $93,500. Ether (ETH), Solana’s SOL, and BNB were little changed, while Cardano’s ADA was 3.5% higher, and dogecoin (DOGE) lost 1.2%.
