Bitcoin, XRP and Solana Recover After Crypto Market Crash
Bitcoin surged 5% to $83,119, while XRP (+6%) and Solana (+6.5%) rebounded after recession fears caused a market dip. Experts are unsure of the exact trigger, but speculation includes US political developments. Crypto markets increasingly mirror stocks, raising questions about whether this recovery is sustainable or just a temporary bounce.

After a sharp drop due to the uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump’s economic policies, Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana are experiencing a significant recovery. The crypto markets are on the rise again after coming under severe pressure on Monday due to recession fears and turmoil in traditional financial markets.
Bitcoin and some altcoins on an upward trend
Bitcoin (BTC) gained nearly 5% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at around $83,119. The price had previously fallen below $77,000 after fears of a potential recession in the US intensified. Ethereum and Solana also hit their lowest levels in over a year on Monday, while crypto futures liquidations surpassed $700 million.
XRP also recovered, posting a 6% increase, bringing its price to $2.20. Solana (SOL) even rose 6.5% and is currently trading at over $127. Many other top 20 coins also posted slight gains, resulting in an overall gain of more than 2% for the entire crypto market.
What is behind the price rebound?
The reasons for the sudden recovery in prices are difficult to pinpoint definitively. Mark Connors, Chief Investment Strategist at Risk Dimensions, explained that the recovery surprised even experienced investors. “We thought macroeconomic pressures would continue to drag Bitcoin down—uncertainties about new tariffs and the associated reluctance to invest should have persisted.”
However, some experts speculate that political developments in the US may have fueled the upswing. These include rumors of a strategic Bitcoin reserve in Texas, a $21 billion investment program from Strategy, or new legislative initiatives such as the GENIUS Act.
Parallels to the stock markets
The S&P 500, the Nasdaq, and the Dow Jones closed slightly lower on Tuesday, MArch 12th, but were able to limit their losses during the day. Cryptocurrencies have increasingly behaved like traditional stock markets in recent months and are viewed by investors as so-called “risk-on” assets. This means they are particularly sensitive to economic and political news—and this has been demonstrated again in recent days.
Whether the crypto recovery is sustainable or just a short-term reaction to market movements will become clear in the coming days.
