Why XRP is down 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
XRP slipped about 1.5% over the past hour as traders reacted to signs of weakening derivatives participation, with Glassnode data showing XRP open interest down 71%, which can reduce liquidity and amplify downside moves (CryptoPotato). While the XRP Ledger’s new zero-knowledge proof integrations were framed as a positive step toward institutional privacy, that longer-term development didn’t offset the near-term bearish sentiment from the derivatives unwind (CoinDesk, U.Today).
