On June 25, 2026, XRP tumbled to a session low of $1.01, representing the digital asset’s weakest performance for the calendar year. This price point edges dangerously close to breaking below the psychologically significant $1 threshold—a barrier last breached in November 2024.
Year-to-date losses for the cryptocurrency now stand at 43%. The decline mirrors widespread weakness throughout digital asset markets, with Bitcoin simultaneously dropping beneath $58,200 during the same trading session.
Data from CoinGlass reveals that liquidations across cryptocurrency markets exceeded $915 million in the 24-hour period ending June 25. XRP contributed $42 million to this figure, with long positions accounting for $40.7 million of the total.
Market conditions when XRP last traded at comparable levels in November 2024 were dramatically different. Following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, cryptocurrency markets were experiencing robust momentum. XRP had climbed from $0.50 in early November 2024 to reach $2.70 by the start of December.
The token achieved its 2025 zenith of $3.65 during mid-July, coinciding with progress toward resolving its regulatory classification dispute in the United States. However, the devastating flash crash on October 10 severely impacted broader markets, and XRP has faced persistent headwinds since.
Market analyst Celal Kucuker published his perspective on X, projecting XRP’s floor between $0.86 and $0.87, while identifying upside potential in the $8–$9 zone. His analysis correlates this trajectory with Bitcoin trading around $54,000.
Exchange Balances Contract as Outflows Accelerate
Blockchain metrics paint a contrasting narrative to the price deterioration. XRP balances across major trading platforms have experienced consistent reductions.
Cryptocurrency analyst Amr Taha observed that Binance’s XRP holdings decreased to approximately 2.68 billion tokens by June 25, declining from 2.78 billion recorded on May 12. This represents roughly 100 million XRP departing 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 proportional reduction, falling from 92 million to 82 million XRP since early June.
Binance has recorded withdrawal transactions exceeding deposit activity for seven consecutive days beginning June 17. The withdrawal percentage peaked at 53.8% on June 23, reaching its highest level since June 2024.
Major Holders Maintain Accumulation Amid ETF Capital Inflows
Significant XRP stakeholders have maintained their buying patterns. The 90-day moving average for large-holder flows registered a positive 5.143 million XRP daily throughout the quarter.
Spot XRP exchange-traded funds attracted $2 million in net capital on June 24, elevating June’s aggregate to $31 million. Since their April inception, these investment vehicles have accumulated $243 million in total inflows.
ETF momentum has decelerated from initial levels. The products recorded $666.61 million during November 2024 and $499.91 million in December. Throughout 2026, monthly inflows have fluctuated between $15.59 million in January and $131.94 million in May.
March represented the sole period of capital withdrawal, registering $31 million in net outflows.
At press time, XRP was changing hands at $1.03.
