XRP Plunges 24%, Leading to Crypto Losses as Market Fear Reaches Extreme

The selloff triggered $47 million in liquidations across XRP derivatives contracts, with nearly $44 million representing long positions.

XRP News

XRP led cryptocurrency losses on Thursday with a 24% drop over 24 hours, bringing the asset down to $1.17 and marking its biggest one-day decline among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The Ripple-linked token briefly touched $1.28, its lowest price since November 2024.
The selloff triggered $47 million in liquidations across XRP derivatives contracts, with nearly $44 million representing long positions. Total crypto liquidations exceeded $1.4 billion during the same period. Trading volume for the asset jumped 57% to exceed $11 billion as volatility intensified.
Ethereum fell to $1,800 after falling 6% on the day and losing 30% over the past week. Dogecoin fell 8% to $0.09, losing 19% over seven days. BNB is trading at $614 after a daily loss of 9% and a weekly decline of 23%, while Solana fell to $85 after an 8% decline on the day and 27% on the week.
Bitcoin fell below $65,000 on Thursday, the broader cryptocurrency market cap fell 7.7% to $2.27 trillion after peaking above $4.2 trillion in September 2025. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 11, firmly in extreme fear territory.

Evernorth, an XRP treasury company backed by Ripple executives acting as strategic advisors, is now recording an unrealized loss of $446 million on its holdings. The company purchased 388,710,631 XRP for $947 million in late October and has not acquired additional tokens since this deployment.

The company’s holdings are currently valued at approximately $501 million based on recent prices. Evernorth launched in October with the intention of raising over $1 billion for XRP purchases, positioning itself as a dedicated treasury vehicle for the asset. The company did not respond to requests for comment regarding current market conditions.

Seven US-traded spot XRP exchange-traded funds recorded volume of $5.9 million and net inflows of $6.9 million on Wednesday. Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently discussed efforts to advance the market structure bill in Congress, but has not publicly addressed the downward price trend.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index briefly entered greed territory in January when it peaked at 62, but has steadily declined since then. Market participants reduced their risk exposure as crypto assets extended losses over several trading sessions and volatility remained high.
