Updated: Dec 30 2025- Price Decline: XRP's price has dropped 2% in the past 24 hours to $1.86, reflecting a selloff in the broader crypto market that has turned its weekly performance negative, impacting investor confidence.
- Support Level Risk: Analyst Ali Martinez warns that if XRP loses the $1.77 support level, it could further decline to $0.80, indicating ongoing selling pressure that may lead to more investors pulling out.
- Decreased Active Addresses: The number of daily active addresses on the XRP blockchain has fallen to around 38,500, signaling fading participation and interest, which could affect the token's long-term value and market appeal.
- Whale Sell-Off: Large investors have sold over 40 million XRP tokens recently, exacerbating market selling pressure and reflecting a pessimistic outlook on XRP's future performance, potentially leading to further loss of investor confidence.
