Why XRP is down 1.5% today
Analysis
XRP slipped about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as broader market weakness triggered heavy derivatives liquidations, with U.Today reporting a sharp 537% spike in XRP liquidation imbalance amid $285 million in total crypto liquidations. Selling pressure was also reinforced by a reported whale trade: U.Today noted a Hyperliquid whale sold five million XRP via a 20x short deal, which can add near-term downside momentum.
