XRP traders are sitting on deep short-term losses, with Santiment Intelligence 
saying the token’s 30-day MVRV has fallen to its lowest level since December 
2020. The on-chain analytics firm framed the move as an “extreme undervalued 
zone” after months of selling pressure pushed recent buyers heavily 
underwater. The chart shared by Santiment tracks XRP Ledger’s price alongside 
its 30-day and 365-day MVRV ratios on Sanbase. It shows XRP’s 30-day MVRV at 
roughly minus 47%, while the 365-day reading also sits deeply negative at 
around minus 36%. Santiment’s visual marks the current area as an 
“opportunity” zone, contrasting it with prior elevated MVRV phases labeled as 
sell-risk territory. XRP Is In Extreme Undervalued Zone Santiment said the 
data suggests the average XRP trader active over the past month is now down 
sharply, a level that historically has coincided with periods of intense 
capitulation. Related Reading: XRP Crowd Fear Deepens As Santiment Points To 
Possible Rebound “The average XRP trader that has been active in the past 30 
days is down a whopping -47% with many selling at the bottom,” Santiment 
wrote. “Historically, MVRV’s average trading returns will always average out 
to 0%, making this current time an extreme undervalued zone for XRP. The chart 
shows that XRP’s 30-day MVRV has now fallen to its lowest level since 
December, 2020, suggesting that fear and frustration among traders have 
reached rare extremes that have historically preceded strong rebounds.” MVRV, 
or market value to realized value, is commonly used by on-chain analysts to 
estimate whether holders are sitting on unrealized profits or losses. In 
Santiment’s framing, deeply negative short-term MVRV readings indicate that 
recent market participants have largely been washed out, reducing the amount 
of marginal selling pressure from traders who bought near local highs. Related

Metrics That matters because XRP’s recent drawdown followed a strong rally in 
late 2024 and early 2025, according to Santiment. The firm said many traders 
entered near local tops before momentum cooled, leaving short-term holders 
exposed as repeated selloffs dragged the asset lower. The result is a market 
structure in which average recent buyers are no longer merely underwater, but 
deeply so. Santiment also tied the current setup to broader XRP narratives 
that remain active despite the retracement. The firm pointed to continued 
optimism among longer-term investors around regulatory progress, ETF 
speculation and Ripple’s adoption story, while noting that the token has lost 
more than half its market value since last summer. “Despite the major price 
retracement that has seen XRP lose over half its market value since last 
summer, patient investors still have optimism surrounding regulatory progress, 
ETF speculation, and Ripple’s long-term adoption narrative,” Santiment said. 
“XRP rallied aggressively in late 2024 and early 2025, which left many traders 
buying near local tops before momentum cooled off. But since then, repeated 
selloffs have pushed many short-term holders deeply underwater.” The key 
question is whether the negative MVRV reading marks exhaustion or simply 
reflects the severity of the downtrend. Santiment did not present the metric 
as a standalone timing signal. Instead, it argued that historically depressed 
MVRV levels tend to appear when retail traders have largely capitulated, 
creating conditions in which relatively modest positive news can have an 
outsized effect. “The deeply negative MVRV zone that we’re seeing for XRP now 
tends to appear when retail traders have largely given up, creating conditions 
where even small positive catalysts can trigger strong recoveries,” Santiment 
wrote. “While weak MVRV readings alone do not guarantee a reversal, they often 
signal that the majority of panic selling has already occurred and downside 
risk becomes more limited compared to potential upside.” At press time, XRP 
traded at $1.33. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from
