In recent developments, three major events have occurred that could have significant implications for the cryptocurrency market.
While these events would have generated a whirlwind of excitement in the past, the normalization of such occurrences has subdued the usual hype. However, these developments still hold substantial relevance as they signal potential changes in market dynamics. Of notable interest is the official conclusion of the longstanding Ripple (XRP) 
$3 lawsuit that had been dragging on for nearly five years.
Ripple (XRP) Lawsuit Concludes
The Ripple (XRP) lawsuit, which had been a significant point of contention for Ripple and its investors, has finally reached a resolution. Both the SEC and Ripple filed a joint application, resulting in the denial of an appeal. This marks the official conclusion of the case, leaving no remaining legal disputes for Ripple. Despite this resolution being long anticipated, it did not cause a dramatic spike in XRP’s price, which rose only slightly by 3.2%. However, if market sentiment remains supportive, there might be potential movement towards the $3.3 and $3.55 thresholds.
$5 Billion Ethereum Acquisition
Concurrently, there’s a brewing trend among companies listed on U.S. exchanges to accumulate substantial crypto reserves. These firms are taking steps to boost their stock prices and expand their asset reserves, emulating the strategy popularized by MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor. This strategic shift seems to yield desired results in the context of the current market hype around cryptocurrencies.
In an eye-catching move, Fundamental Global Inc., listed on the Nasdaq, has received approval from the SEC for an S-3 registration statement, permitting a multi-tranche issuance of securities totaling $5 billion. This signals an expected inflow of $5 billion from public offerings, with the majority of this funding earmarked for the acquisition of Ethereum (ETH) 
$3,872. Consequently, the total ETH reserves held by companies will likely leap from $10 billion to $15 billion.
Earlier, details surrounding former President Trump’s decision to authorize 401(k) plans to include cryptocurrencies were shared.
Approximately an hour ago, this decision was officially signed, potentially enabling around $90 billion to flow into Bitcoin 
$117,308 through retirement funds. These three pieces of news illuminate a dynamic period for the cryptocurrency sector, showcasing vast market potential.
