Ether, Solana and XRP Rally as Crypto Climbs on Easing War Fears

Published at 2026-03-05 06:45:34

Ether rallied 7.5%, Dogecoin climbed 7.5% and Solana advanced 5.3%, while XRP jumped roughly 8% on Thursday as investors cheered signs of easing war fears. Global equities reversed earlier weakness, and the shift back into risk assets helped lift crypto sentiment across the board.

Traders point to continued demand for U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs — which have taken in about $700 million since March 1 — as a key structural support behind the move. The combination of macro calm and ETF flows is keeping crypto more tightly correlated with traditional markets, though analysts warn volatility could return if geopolitical or macro conditions change.
