Why XRP is down 5.3% today
Analysis
XRP fell 5.3% over the past 24 hours amid scam-related headline risk after Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz issued an urgent warning about XRP scams, which can weigh on near-term sentiment and trigger risk-off selling (CryptoPotato). Broader market chatter also highlighted concentration concerns—reporting that whales control nearly 70% of XRP supply—which can add to perceived distribution/volatility risk during pullbacks (CryptoPotato).
