Why XRP is down 1.7% in the last hour
Analysis
XRP slipped about 1.7% over the past hour as traders reacted to a fresh regulatory headline: BeInCrypto reported that Trump picked former SEC chair Jay Clayton—previously seen as a Ripple (XRP) adversary—for a top intelligence role, which may have weighed on near-term sentiment.
