- Santiment reveals XRP’s social sentiment is at its lowest level since October 2025.
- Users think the drop in XRP social sentiment is due to the lack of market catalysts.
- Such levels of FUD have historically preceded unprecedented rallies for XRP.
Santiment’s metrics reveal a significant drop in XRP’s sentiment, suggesting heightened FUD for the cryptocurrency. In its latest post on X, the social analysis platform revealed that XRP’s sentiment has fallen to an 8-month low amid sustained bearish pressure.
No Market Catalysts for XRP
According to Santiment’s weighted sentiment metric, which combines social volume with the ratio of positive versus negative commentary, XRP currently sits at its lowest level since October 2025. Although price weakness has played a significant role in this drop, Santiment noted that traders have also grown fatigued by the lack of a major catalyst despite years of anticipation surrounding Ripple’s legal clarity and institutional adoption.
The multi-year litigation between the SEC and Ripple went through several phases that provided tailwinds for XRP’s notable rallies over the past few years. Judge Analisa Torres’ rulings, the non-securities declaration of retail XRP sales, and the final withdrawal of appeals by both parties represent positive milestones for XRP. They were the major catalysts that boosted XRP’s demand, triggering a rally from below $0.5 in late 2024 to above $3.66 by the middle of 2025.

Most XRP users expected more notable events, including a spot ETF approval in the US, to follow the dismissal of the case. The lack of these events appears to have dampened users’ morale, lowering their confidence in the cryptocurrency’s potential.
The Irony of Low Sentiment
Nevertheless, Santiment noted that the current level of FUD in the XRP ecosystem has historically preceded bull rallies. According to the platform, the strongest rebounds have occurred when the crowd became the most disinterested. It noted that the combination of declining discussion volume and overwhelmingly negative commentary suggests that many traders have already moved on or significantly lowered expectations.
Meanwhile, the analytics platform noted that beneath the surface, development activity, XRP Ledger usage, tokenization initiatives, and institutional products continue to advance despite fading social media enthusiasm. This suggests that a major catalyst could trigger an XRP rally, typically associated with high volatility.
TradingView’s data show that XRP traded at $1.13 at the time of writing, reflecting a 70% pullback from $3.66. An all-time high it achieved in July 2025.
