- Bitcoin (BTC) dropped to about $86,000 on December 1, 2025, following recent fluctuations between $82,000 and $92,000.
- Ripple’s XRP fell roughly 7% in 24 hours and has declined over 18% in the last month, despite a 10% gain since December 2024.

The cryptocurrency market experienced another price decline on Monday, December 1, 2025. Bitcoin (BTC) slipped to approximately $86,000 after recently reaching $92,000 and previously dropping to $82,000 in November. Ripple’s XRP also mirrored this trend with notable losses.
Data from CoinGecko indicate that XRP decreased by 7% in the last 24 hours, 1.1% over the past week, 9.4% across 14 days, and 18.1% in the previous month. However, it has still managed a 10% gain since December 2024.
XRP last traded below the $2 mark on Nov. 21, but reclaimed the $2 price point on Nov. 23. This dip happened alongside bitcoin’s fall to $82,000. Currently, as BTC trades near $86,000, a drop below $85,000 in bitcoin’s price could correlate with XRP falling under $2 again.
The market recently showed signs of recovery amid rising expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The CME FedWatch tool signals an 87.4% likelihood of a 25 basis point reduction in rates in December 2025, a policy change often aimed at stimulating economic activity.
Interest rates influence borrowing costs and investor sentiment, affecting asset prices. Should a rate cut occur, it may prompt a broader market rebound. However, previous rate cuts, such as one in October, did not lead to significant market reactions.
Given the uncertainties, this period remains critical for cryptocurrency investors monitoring BTC and XRP price dynamics against shifting economic policy signals.
