Presently, it is trading around $2.90, having decreased over 4% in the last 24 hours, with a market capitalization of about $173 billion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite a landmark U.S. spot XRP ETF introduction and Ripple\u2019s enhanced connections with Spain\u2019s BBVA bank, the token has not been able to maintain upward momentum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Belisarius2020\/status\/1969914564478484568\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Experts<\/a> now contend that XRP\u2019s sluggish performance can no longer be attributed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit, which has been cited for a long time as a significant hindrance to development. With that matter settled, focus has shifted to more profound market dynamics.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Profit-Taking, Liquidations, and Market Sentiment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XRP\u2019s ETF launch witnessed an unprecedented $37 million in first-day trading volume, but it also incited a typical \u201csell the news\u201d reaction. Numerous institutional investors withdrew their positions, initiating strong selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compounding the decline, <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/xrp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">XRP<\/a> traders encountered nearly $79 million in liquidations over the past day, predominantly from long positions. This surge of forced selling pushed prices down, eroding confidence among retail investors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the overall crypto market experienced a 4% drop in value, with billions erased from altcoin capitalization. Ethereum (ETH) and other prominent assets also faced significant declines, further dragging XRP down.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-586224 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/XRPUSD_2025-09-22_11-55-55.png?resize=809%2C660\" alt=\"Ripple XRP XRPUSD\" width=\"809\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/XRPUSD_2025-09-22_11-55-55.png?w=1674 1674w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/XRPUSD_2025-09-22_11-55-55.png?w=515 515w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/XRPUSD_2025-09-22_11-55-55.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/XRPUSD_2025-09-22_11-55-55.png?w=809 809w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/XRPUSD_2025-09-22_11-55-55.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/XRPUSD_2025-09-22_11-55-55.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/XRPUSD_2025-09-22_11-55-55.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\"\/><\/p>\n<pre style=\"text-align: center;\">XRP's value records noteworthy losses on the daily chart.

On the other hand, bulls need to reclaim the $3.10\u2013$3.20 zone to restore momentum and revive aspirations of testing the $3.65 all-time peak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Market sentiment remains varied.
