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 cryptocurrencies.
### Whales Eye XRP Amid Banking and ETF Developments
A recent research report called XRP “the best-looking major” following the news of the government reopening. The report highlights XRP’s exposure to banking adoption and upcoming regulatory clarity as key strengths. Whale tracking data supports this positive outlook, showing that more than 22 million XRP—worth over $56 million—was recently withdrawn from centralized exchanges, a classic sign of accumulation.
The XRP community is closely watching three key catalysts:
– The banking charter approval for Ripple’s institutional operations.
– The Clarity Act, expected to bring much-needed regulatory certainty.
– A potential XRP ETF, which analysts say could be launched soon.
Analyst Ali Martinez recently predicted that XRP could revisit the $1.90-$2.00 range before rallying toward $6.00 in the coming months. While XRP failed to close above key daily resistance levels this week, analysts view the $2 range as a strong accumulation zone, especially if Bitcoin retests lower levels.
### Cardano (ADA) Sees Strong Whale Activity
The second altcoin attracting significant whale interest 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, representing nearly 1% of the circulating supply.
This buying spree coincides with the Cardano Foundation’s rollout of its roadmap for global ADA adoption. The roadmap emphasizes stablecoin liquidity, real-world asset integration, and enterprise partnerships.
Adding to the momentum, Cardano’s Midnight privacy sidechain recently announced a collaboration with Google Cloud, boosting confidence in its enterprise-grade ecosystem.
In Q3 2025, Cardano’s on-chain activity surged impressively:
– NFT volume increased by 561%
– ADA price rose 41% to $0.81
– DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) grew 28.7% to $423 million
Analysts believe ADA must hold above $0.50 to maintain a bullish structure. A breakdown below this level could test support at $0.45, while forming a higher low could set the stage for a strong rebound in December.

As the government shutdown ends and liquidity returns to the markets, both XRP and Cardano are positioning themselves for potential gains. Investors and traders should watch these developments closely in the coming weeks.
