XRP and Bitcoin Move in Lockstep as XRP Ledger Amendment and August CPI Loom

XRP and Bitcoin have tracked each other closely since their Sept. 3 peaks, leaving XRP with a potential opportunity to diverge this week if an upcoming XRP Ledger amendment takes effect. According to NS3.AI, August CPI is due on Sept. 11 and will offer another macroeconomic test before the Fed's Sept. 15-16 meeting. The report said the combination of the amendment and the inflation reading could shape XRP's near-term direction relative to Bitcoin.
