XRP price news: What next for Ripple-linked token as losses at highest since 2022

CoinDesk
XRP realized losses hit $1.93 billion, the highest since 2022, suggesting potential seller exhaustion.

Summary

XRP recently experienced its largest weekly realized loss spike since 2022, totaling approximately $1.93 billion, indicating that panic selling may have reached an extreme. Realized losses occur when holders sell coins at a price lower than their purchase price, signaling capitulation. Historically, a similar spike 39 months ago preceded an 114% rally in XRP over the subsequent eight months. Such large capitulation events often coincide with buyers stepping in at lower levels, shifting holdings from short-term traders to longer-term buyers, which can stabilize the price foundation. However, the current macro uncertainty and volatility mean this spike only increases the probability of a rebound, rather than guaranteeing it. A sustained recovery will depend on follow-through, including stabilization in spot demand and declining sell pressure in the following weeks.
