SEC Backs Crypto Evolution With Market Forces Positioned as Final Value Judge

Some Bitcoiners are speculating that the significant surge in the odds of a 
Fed rate cut in December may lead to Bitcoin finding a price “bottom here for 
now.”

XRP has been hit by one of its most aggressive sell waves this year, with on- 
chain data revealing that major whale wallets offloaded nearly 200 million 
XRP, roughly $400 million, within just 48 hours. Related Reading: Ethereum

According to Santiment analytics, wallets holding between one million and ten 
million tokens were the primary contributors, adding significant sell-side 
liquidity to an already fragile market. This sudden influx of supply arrived 
at a time when XRP was already battling bearish sentiment across the broader 
crypto space. The asset slipped 10.32% in 24 hours, falling below the key $2 
psychological level, touching lows near $1.85, and posting double-digit losses 
within a single day. XRP&#8217;s price trends to the downside on the daily chart. 
Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview Extreme Fear Grips the Market Market indicators 
paint a grim picture. XRP is trading below both its 50-day and 200-day Simple 
Moving Averages, signalling sustained downward momentum. The Fear &amp; Greed 
Index sits at 14, firmly in “extreme fear” territory, while selling volume 
surged past $7.2 billion in 24 hours. Analysts warn that a failure to reclaim 
resistance near $2.30 could open the door to deeper losses, with short-term 
projections suggesting a potential drop toward $1.50 if bearish pressure 
continues. The weakness is not isolated to XRP. Bitcoin’s retreat below the 
$85,000 zone and Ethereum’s slide below $3,000 have triggered market-wide 
liquidations, with macro uncertainty adding fuel. Concerns over a possible 
delay in Federal Reserve rate cuts, driven by soft U.S. jobs data and rising 
unemployment, have dented investor appetite for risk assets across the board. 
Will XRP Stabilize or Sink Further? The big question now is whether whales 
will continue distributing or pause their offloading. If no new wave of large- 
scale selling emerges, analysts believe XRP could stabilize and attempt to 
reclaim the $2 mark in the coming sessions. Recovery projections place the 
short-term target between $2.50 and $2.70, though this would require a 
decisive break above long-standing resistance. Medium-term predictions remain 
cautiously optimistic but restrained. Many experts expect XRP to trade between 
$1.96 and $2.27 into the end of 2025, with stronger upside momentum unlikely 
until regulatory clarity and upcoming ETF activity begin shaping demand 
heading into 2026. Related Reading: Saylor’s Strategy Under Threat: Index
