The U.S. Senate has passed a bill to end the government shutdown, and the House is expected to move quickly to approve it. Once the bill reaches the President’s desk, federal operations will reopen, a move that could inject new liquidity into global markets.
The U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA) balance has swelled to over $1 trillion due to the shutdown delay. Once government spending resumes, this excess liquidity could flow back into risk assets, including crypto.
Whales Eye $XRP Amid Banking and ETF Developments
A research outlet recently called $XRP “the best-looking major” following news of the government reopening, pointing to its exposure to banking adoption and upcoming regulation clarity.
Whale tracking data also supports this. More than 22 million $XRP, worth over $56 million, was recently withdrawn from centralized exchanges, a classic sign of accumulation.
The community is also watching three key catalysts:
- The banking charter approval for Ripple’s institutional operations.
- The Clarity Act, expected to bring regulatory certainty.
- A potential $XRP ETF, which analysts say could arrive soon.
Analyst Ali Martinez recently predicted that $XRP could revisit $1.90–$2.00 before rallying toward $6.00 in the coming months. While $XRP failed to close above key daily resistance levels this week, analysts see the $2 range as a strong accumulation zone if Bitcoin retests lower levels.
Cardano Whales Accumulate Ahead of Major Roadmap Update
The second altcoin seeing strong whale activity is Cardano ($ADA). Data from Santiment shows that whales and sharks have accumulated 348 million $ADA, valued at $24.3 million, in just four days, nearly 1% of the circulating supply.
This buying spree comes as the Cardano Foundation rolls out its roadmap for global $ADA adoption, emphasizing stablecoin liquidity, real-world asset integration, and enterprise partnerships.
Cardano’s Midnight privacy sidechain also announced a collaboration with Google Cloud, boosting confidence in its enterprise-grade ecosystem.
In Q3 2025, Cardano’s on-chain activity surged:
- NFT volume: up 561%
- $ADA price: up 41% to $0.81
- DeFi TVL: up 28.7% to $423 million
Analysts believe $ADA must hold above $0.50 to maintain a bullish structure. A breakdown could test $0.45, while a higher low formation could set the stage for a strong December rebound.
