XRP tumbled to $1.01 on June 25, 2026, establishing its weakest performance of the current year. This price level brings the cryptocurrency dangerously close to breaking beneath the $1 threshold for the first time since November 2024.
The digital currency has experienced a devastating 43% decline since January 2026. This downturn mirrors a widespread deterioration in cryptocurrency markets, evidenced by Bitcoin’s simultaneous drop below $58,200.
According to data from CoinGlass, more than $915 million in leveraged cryptocurrency positions were wiped out during the 24-hour period ending June 25. XRP traders bore $42 million of these losses, with long positions representing $40.7 million of the liquidations.
Market dynamics were dramatically different when XRP last traded at current levels in November 2024. Donald Trump’s presidential victory had just energized the cryptocurrency sector. XRP was changing hands at $0.50 in early November 2024 before skyrocketing to $2.70 by December’s beginning.
The token achieved its 2025 zenith of $3.65 during mid-July, coinciding with progress in resolving its United States regulatory classification dispute. However, the October 10 market crash devastated the broader sector, and XRP has failed to recover momentum since.
Market analyst Celal Kucuker published his projections on X, identifying a potential floor between $0.86 and $0.87, while setting an upside objective in the $8–$9 zone. His forecast correlates with Bitcoin stabilizing around $54,000.
Exchange Balances Decline Amid Sustained Outflows
Blockchain analytics present a narrative that diverges from price performance. XRP balances across major trading platforms have experienced consistent reduction.
Cryptocurrency researcher Amr Taha highlighted that Binance’s XRP holdings decreased to approximately 2.68 billion tokens by June 25, down from 2.78 billion on May 12. This represents roughly 100 million XRP exiting the platform over a six-week timeframe.
Upbit’s reserves contracted from 2.51 billion to 2.48 billion XRP between May 31 and June 25. Bybit experienced a more pronounced percentage decrease, falling from 92 million to 82 million XRP since early June.
Withdrawal activity on Binance has exceeded deposit volume for seven consecutive days beginning June 17. Withdrawals represented 53.8% of total transaction flow on June 23, the highest proportion recorded since June 2024.
Major Holders and Investment Products Show Continued Interest

Spot XRP exchange-traded funds registered $2 million in net deposits on June 24, elevating June’s aggregate to $31 million. Since their April introduction, these investment vehicles have collected $243 million in cumulative capital.
ETF momentum has decelerated from initial enthusiasm. The products captured $666.61 million during November 2024 and $499.91 million in December. Throughout 2026, monthly deposits have fluctuated between $15.59 million in January and $131.94 million in May.
