$70M XRP Dumped in Seconds as Recovery Efforts Stall

Published at 2026-02-10 15:45:17

On Feb 10, 2026, roughly $70 million of XRP changed hands in a rapid series of sales that pressured the token and halted a nascent price recovery. The dump occurred amid a broader crypto market pullback and persistent selling, producing a sharp, short-lived spike in volume and downside price pressure.

The size and speed of the outflow underline how fragile recovery attempts have been, with thinner order books and heightened volatility making XRP more vulnerable to large orders. For traders and holders this increases short-term risk; market watchers will be watching on-chain flows, exchange order books, and whale activity for signs of either continued distribution or renewed accumulation that could restore momentum.
