XRP Drops 9.4% Ahead of Expected Federal Reserve Rate Hike
XRP declined 9.4% in a single session as the market prepared for an anticipated 25-basis-point interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
XRP dropped 9.4% during today's trading session, declining from $1.70 to $1.28 over the past three weeks as market expectations for a 25-basis-point Fed rate increase rose from roughly 70% to above 90%. The 25% three-week decline for XRP was notably steeper than Ethereum's 6% pullback over the same timeframe. Year-to-date, XRP is down roughly 30%.
On-chain indicators highlight increased selling activity, with large holders selling or redistributing approximately 90 million XRP over the past week. Concurrently, XRP's daily active addresses fell by more than 90%, dropping from roughly 388,000 to 38,000.
This rate decision represents the first hike digital assets have faced since the Fed's 2022–2023 tightening cycle. Downside risk could be mitigated in part by institutional demand; according to SoSoValue, spot XRP ETFs have accumulated $1.71 billion in total inflows since launching in November 2025 and currently hold around $1.41 billion in total assets.
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.
