Chainlink's new staking pool and XRP's legal concerns impacted their prices. The FOMC meeting and an anti-crypto bill by Sen. Elizabeth Warren influenced market sentiment. BlackRock's move and SEC meetings regarding Bitcoin ETFs were notable developments. A security breach at Ledger due to a phishing attack was also reported.
