Santiment, an intelligence platform, claims that the recent meltdown could boost Ripple’s token surge, although social sentiment toward XRP has plummeted into the “fear zone.” According to Santiment’s social data, XRP is experiencing “the most fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) since October,” the company said on Thursday. ”
XRP’s price immediately rallied 22 percent over the next three days, and the last time we saw near this level of fear from the crowd was November 21,” the statement continued.

An opportunity seems to be emerging as of right now. Among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market value, XRP has performed the worst, falling 5% over the last day to below $2.10. The token’s current value is 42% below its July 2025 peak.
Net inflows to spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a significant decline this week, with Thursday’s inflows totaling $12.8 million, the lowest level since November 21, as reported by SoSoValue. Despite this decrease, the funds have continued to generate positive inflows since their launch in mid-November, with the combined net assets of the five funds now reaching $881 million.
On December 2, CryptoQuant data confirmed a notable increase in XRP velocity, which reached its highest level of the year at 0.0324. High velocity typically indicates strong network engagement and rapid circulation. Additionally, this surge during a period of increased market volatility suggests greater participation from whales and traders. As investors monitored these changes, market activity intensified to assess their potential impact on short-term liquidity conditions.
