Trillion Reasons To Buy, Says Gemini Founder A Familiar Pattern In The Data 
On-chain analytics firm Santiment flagged a shift in crowd mood on May 26, 
pointing out that the bullish-to-bearish comment ratio on social media had 
slipped to 1.1:1. That places sentiment at its most fearful in three weeks, a 
level that has historically been followed by short-term price stabilization or 
a bounce. Santiment&#8217;s reasoning is straightforward: when fear peaks, weak 
hands have already exited, and whales or institutions tend to step in and 
absorb the sell pressure. XRP was trading at $1.33 at the time of reporting, 
up about 1% from a 24-hour low of $1.32. Volume climbed 5% over the same 
period, adding some weight to the uptick. 📉 XRP’s crowd sentiment has swung 
sharply negative again, with the ratio of positive to negative commentary 
dropping to just 1.1 bullish comments for every 1 bearish comment. 
Historically, this kind of fear and skepticism has often acted as a contrarian 
signal for XRP’s price.… pic.twitter.com/KGubO783yE — Santiment Intelligence 
(@SantimentData) May 25, 2026 On the daily chart, the token is still below its 
50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, and the Relative Strength Index 
is sitting near 41. A break above a multi-month trendline, reports indicate, 
could open the door toward $1.50. Ripple And Circle Rumors Swirl Much of the 
chatter swirling around XRP on Monday centered on a possible acquisition. 
Speculation spread that Ripple is preparing to buy stablecoin issuer Circle at 
a price tag of $11 billion. The rumor was traced back to a post by the XRP 
Ledger Foundation on X that simply read: &#8220;Tomorrow&#8217;s going to be a great day.&#8221; 
No executives from either company have addressed the speculation. 🚨 RUMOR 
ALERT 🚨 It is being reported that Ripple has acquired Circle, the issuer of 
the $61B stablecoin USDC. An official announcement is supposedly expected 
later today. If true, this would be one of the BIGGEST moves in crypto 
history. 👀 pic.twitter.com/Lpr7o7eX4D — John Squire XRP 🇺🇸 (@TheCryptoSquire) 
May 25, 2026 This is not the first time such a rumor has surfaced. Ripple CEO 
Brad Garlinghouse publicly denied a Bloomberg report last year that said 
Ripple had pursued Circle at a valuation of $4 to $5 billion. Circle, for its 
part, said it was not for sale and was focused on its IPO. Reports suggest the 
XRP Ledger Foundation&#8217;s post was more likely connected to a major XRPL mainnet 
upgrade scheduled for May 27. Related Reading: When Bitcoin Gets Ignored, It 
Tends To Rally The Hardest, Analyst Says Chris Larsen&#8217;s Wallets Draw Attention 
Adding another thread to the day&#8217;s activity, wallets linked to Ripple co- 
founder Chris Larsen were reported to have become active again, with the 
timing drawing attention ahead of US midterm elections. No further details 
about the transactions were immediately available. Santiment noted that the 
opposite dynamic tends to play out during periods of heavy optimism, when the 
bullish-to-bearish ratio climbs into what it calls the FOMO zone, whale 
activity tends to fade and prices often pull back. Featured image from Gemini,
