XRP holders are selling at a loss as SOPR drops below 1.0 XRP price is trading around $1.41, failing to break $1.45 resistance Speculation exists around potential partnership between X Money and Cross River Bank
Deep Dive
XRP holders are currently selling their tokens at a loss as market pressure mounts. Data from Glassnode indicates that XRP’s Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) has fallen below 1.0, signifying that a majority of investors are selling for less than their acquisition cost. The digital asset is trading near $1.41, having failed to surpass the resistance level at $1.45. This price action mirrors a similar trend observed during XRP’s extended sideways market period between 2021 and 2022.
Despite the current downturn, a segment of investors remains optimistic. Their hope is fueled by potential positive impacts from future cryptocurrency regulations and ongoing speculation regarding a possible partnership between Elon Musk’s X Money platform and Ripple-linked Cross River Bank. These factors contribute to a cautious but hopeful outlook among some XRP stakeholders.
