The analytical company Santiment reported a record surge in fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) among investors regarding the cryptocurrency XRP. According to experts, the current level of negativity is the highest since Donald Trump announced trade tariffs, which is to say, in the last six months.

Negative Sentiment Among Traders and Its Impact on XRP
According to Santiment’s analysis, for two out of the last three days, the number of negative mentions of XRP exceeded positive ones. This situation is often considered a signal for a potential market reversal. Experience shows that markets tend to move against the expectations of the majority, especially when irrational pessimism prevails among retail investors.
“Markets have a tendency to move against the expectations of the majority, especially when irrational pessimism prevails,” the report states.
Current Situation of XRP Price and Prospects
At the moment, the price of XRP hovers around the $2.97 mark. The chart of the XRP/USDT pair on the Binance exchange shows volatility typical of periods of heightened FUD. Historically, similar peaks of negative sentiment among investors have often preceded a phase of price recovery for the asset.
It is worth noting that in August 2025, seven ETF issuers submitted amended applications for the registration of products based on XRP. This event also contributed to increased attention towards the asset and discussions within the crypto community.
