Why XRP is down 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
XRP slipped about 1.5% over the past hour as traders appeared to de-risk following a sharp drop in derivatives positioning, with XRP open interest reported down 23% as leverage was unwound—typically a near-term drag on price (CryptoPotato). While some coverage highlighted ETF-related inflows and broader market analysis, the immediate move aligns more closely with the leverage flush and associated selling pressure than with longer-horizon regulatory/ETF narratives (CoinGape, U.Today).
