The cryptocurrency XRP is facing its lowest market sentiment since October 2025, according to data from Santiment. This growing pessimism stems from prolonged price weakness and unmet expectations despite positive developments around Ripple. However, historical data suggests such periods of extreme disinterest have often preceded the token’s strongest price rebounds.
XRP sentiment has plummeted to an eight-month low, as reported by analytics firm Santiment. The decline reflects trader fatigue from waiting for a significant price catalyst even after Ripple’s legal clarity.
Santiment pointed to unmet expectations around institutional adoption as a key factor. The firm noted, “Some of XRP’s strongest rebounds have occurred when the crowd became the most disinterested.”
Social discussion volume has faded alongside negative commentary. This occurs despite growing development activity on the XRP Ledger and new tokenization initiatives.
At the time of reporting, XRP’s price was approximately $1.15, a 24-hour gain of about 2%. The token remains down 22% over the previous month and 69% below its all-time high of $3.65.
Recent on-chain data shows 465 million XRP were withdrawn from Binance in large transactions between June 3 and June 11. This could reduce exchange supply and potential selling pressure.
Conversely, data shows XRP whale inflows to Binance reached 1.33 billion over 30 days, a two-month high. This indicates increased activity among large holders.
Macro events like the de-escalation with Iran spurred optimism in other markets. Santiment observed that the cryptocurrency market’s reaction, including XRP’s, has been muted so far.
