Social sentiment for XRP has declined sharply, entering a “fear zone” last seen in October. The intelligence platform Santiment highlighted this trend on Thursday, noting the surge in fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) surrounding the token (source). Historically, similar drops in social sentiment have preceded price increases, such as the 22% rally over three days in late November 2025.
Over the past 24 hours, XRP has fallen 4.6%, trading below $2.10, making it the poorest performer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. This price represents a 42% decline from the token’s all-time high recorded in July 2025.
Industry analysts interpret the current price action and sentiment as non-bearish. Justin d’Anethan, head of research at private markets advisory firm Arctic Digital, described these conditions as prices near a capitulation zone. He stated, “This isn’t all bearish, though, as those often mark a bottom that can then capitalize on legal wins, regulatory clarity, a US-first approach, and a long-standing cross-border payment value.” Similarly, Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research, pointed to sustained institutional interest, with inflows into spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) exceeding $750 million in November 2025 alone.
Despite positive momentum, net inflows into spot XRP ETFs slowed this week, with daily inflows reaching $12.8 million on Thursday—the lowest since November 21 (source). Since their mid-November launch, these ETFs have maintained positive fund flows and now hold approximately $881 million in net assets spread across five separate funds.
