Why XRP is down 8.0% today
Analysis
XRP fell about 8% over the past 24 hours as market sentiment cooled following a pushback against circulating XRP-related rumors, with a Ripple pioneer urging traders to “move away” from the speculation, which can deflate near-term hype (U.Today). While Coinbase data pointed to extreme bullish demand in XRP options, that positioning didn’t translate into immediate spot support during the window (U.Today).
