Why XRP is down 2.6% in the last hour
Analysis
XRP fell 2.6% over the last hour as broader large-cap crypto selling picked up alongside reports that market maker Wintermute has been building heavy short positions, pressuring BTC, ETH, and XRP together. CryptoPotato linked the move to this increase in short exposure, which likely weighed on near-term sentiment and order flow despite otherwise constructive ETF-flow headlines.
