Why XRP is down 3.4% today

Analysis

XRP fell 3.4% over the past 24 hours amid a more cautious tone around the token, after Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz issued an urgent warning about ongoing XRP-related scams, which can weigh on near-term sentiment and risk appetite. Separately, coverage noting that whales control nearly 70% of XRP’s supply may have reinforced concentration concerns for some traders, adding to selling pressure.
