XRP commentary has hit a three-month bearish extreme, according to Santiment, while the XRP price has fallen 7.8% this month against Bitcoin's 0.5% decline and Ethereum's 3.2% gain. A spike to 49,929 active XRP Ledger addresses is misleading, given that two-thirds of those transactions were automated bot orders rather than actual XRP transfers. XRP ETF inflows has collapsed 96% from launch, leaving the September 15 CLARITY Act Senate vote as the only meaningful short-term catalyst.
The most widely read finance newsletter on Substack isn't published by a bank, it's Doomberg, where 383,000+ readers get the energy and macro analysis the mainstream press misses. 24/7 Wall St. readers save 17% on their first year here. Negative commentary about XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) has climbed to a three-month extreme across X, Reddit and Telegram, its highest reading since the middle of May, according to Santiment. The XRP price has fallen from $1.08 to $1.00 over those thirty days.
However, more people are using the XRP Ledger than at any point since June, and Santiment argues the crowd has this wrong because usage is climbing while sentiment falls. So has the negativity gone far enough to signal a bottom, or is the crowd simply right? XRP commentary has hit a three-month bearish extreme across X, Reddit and Telegram, according to Santiment, which measures both how often a token gets mentioned and the tone people use.
Negativity surged through the past week as the XRP price failed to rally. Traders watch these extremes because of what they imply about supply. When almost everyone has turned bearish, most of the people who wanted to sell have already sold, which leaves less XRP waiting to hit the market on any bounce.
That is the reasoning behind Santiment's call, and it is why a pessimistic reading gets treated as a buy signal rather than a warning. Before Doomberg published a word, its team spent long careers in heavy industry, private equity, and the hard sciences. They take no advertisers and serve no institution — which is why their lateral-thinking coverage of energy, finance, and geopolitics reads nothing like consensus financial media.
Doomberg has set aside a discounted rate exclusively for 24/7 Wall St. readers — it isn't available on their main page. Moreover, the price data supports the mood. The XRP price has fallen 7.8% over the past 30 days while Bitcoin slipped 0.5% and Ethereum gained 3.2%, so XRP is falling far faster than the other majors.
