XRP Lost Over 45% Since July Peak: Can $1B ETF Momentum Reverse the Slide?
"XRP ETF inflows just hit $1 billion in under four weeks-the fastest institutional adoption since Ethereum ETFs launched. Yet XRP ( ) dropped 45% from its July 2025 peak of $3.66 to around $2.00, leaving 37% of XRP holders underwater with unrealized losses. The token climbed 480% over the prior year (from $0.63 in July 2024 to $3.66), minting fortunes for early holders before the reversal."
"On-chain data shows a large share of recent buyers now trade at a loss. reports approximately 37% of XRP's circulating supply sits in unrealized loss-down from 41.5% in mid-November 2024 but still reflecting significant selling pressure. Many traders bought XRP above $3.00 during the summer surge and now hold underwater positions. This concentration of underwater XRP holders breeds continued selling pressure as some cut losses while others wait for recovery."
"Moreover, whales took profits after the rally. Approximately 200 million XRP ($400 million at the time) was sold by whales in late November 2025, likely locking in gains from the summer surge. The broader crypto market lost over $1 trillion in value from October through November 2025, reflecting risk-off sentiment that pulled XRP down alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum."
XRP experienced a dramatic rally, rising 480% from $0.63 in July 2024 to $3.66 in July 2025, then retraced roughly 45% to about $2.00 by December 2025. ETF inflows hit $1 billion in under four weeks, marking rapid institutional adoption, but substantial selling pressure persisted. On-chain metrics show about 37% of circulating XRP sits in unrealized loss, reflecting many buyers who purchased above $3.00. Whales sold roughly 200 million XRP in late November 2025, and the broader crypto market lost over $1 trillion between October and November 2025, creating risk-off conditions that amplified the decline.
