XRP Records Five Consecutive Monthly Losses for First Time Since 2016–2017
XRP has posted five consecutive monthly losses, marking the first such streak since 2016–2017 and reflecting sustained downward pressure on the token over recent months [1].
On-chain data show intensified realized losses: analysts report XRP’s largest on-chain realized loss since 2022, a metric that highlights crystallized losses among holders and complements the string of monthly declines [4].
Price context: after cycle highs near $3.50 in July 2025, XRP has declined roughly 60% from that peak, and the DeepSeek AI model nonetheless forecasts a substantial rally by the end of 2026, illustrating divergent near-term technical performance and model-based outlooks [3].
Market structure and product developments: the market for XRP exchange-traded products has secured SEC approval for multiple products (six funds managing more than $1 billion combined), and Canary Capital’s CEO says BlackRock — currently absent from the cohort — could file for a spot XRP ETF in late 2026 or early 2027 if current trends continue [2].
Taken together, recent price declines and on-chain realized losses indicate near-term bearish pressure on XRP, while AI forecasts and potential ETF developments are cited by some market participants as possible longer-term catalysts; observers will likely watch on-chain metrics and regulatory/product developments for signs of a shift [1][4][3][2].
