XRP Falls 16% to $2.15 as 30–35% of Supply Moves Into Loss

Published at 2025-11-17 23:31:22

XRP slid roughly 16% from its recent peak and was trading around $2.15 on Monday, reversing a portion of the token’s earlier gains. The sharp move has reintroduced downside pressure and raised volatility after weeks of relatively choppy trading, hitting investor sentiment for the token.

On-chain metrics indicate about 30–35% of all XRP is now held at a loss, a level that marks the lowest holder profitability observed since early 2024. That dynamic can reduce immediate profit-taking but also signals weaker conviction among holders, which may constrain near-term rallies and leave price action sensitive to whale flows and macro catalysts. Traders and platforms will be watching turnover and exchange activity for clues on whether this marks capitulation or preparation for renewed accumulation.
