XRP Underperforms Major Cryptocurrencies Over Seven Days Following Macro Headwinds
Higher wholesale inflation and rising Treasury yields have contributed to a 7.1% weekly decline for XRP, despite its strong 30-day performance.
XRP stood at $1.35 on September 12, 2026, representing a market capitalization of $84.65 billion. The token dropped 6.2% from $1.44 on September 9 and 10.0% from its late-August peak above $1.50, slipping 0.4% below its 200-day moving average of $1.355.
Over seven days, XRP fell 7.1%, underperforming Bitcoin's 5.2% decline, Ethereum's 1.8% drop, and BNB's 1.3% dip. However, over a 30-day window, XRP remains up 32.2%, leading gains across the four largest alternative assets, where Ethereum rose 30.2%, Bitcoin gained 20.9%, and BNB increased 16.4%.
Macro factors contributed to the pullback after the September 10 PPI showed wholesale inflation at 5.4% year on year and core CPI came in at 0.3% month over month on September 11. Concurrently, the 10-year Treasury yield reached 4.95%, and Brent crude touched $107 a barrel following US strikes on Iran. In the derivatives market, CoinGlass data showed XRP's funding rate dropped to −0.0094%, its most negative reading since late June.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
