While broader crypto investment products face outflows and XRP's price has slid from $1.95 to $1.88, CoinShares and Santiment data indicate that XRP continues to attract institutional capital and that prevailing bearish social sentiment could precede a potential price rebound.

Over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGlass data cited in the report, total crypto liquidations reached $227.93 million across 79,525 traders, while XRP showed $10,090 in liquidations entirely from long positions and zero on shorts. The absence of forced short closures stands out in a session dominated by leverage reduction, suggesting either limited short exposure or that sellers chose to close positions manually before hitting liquidation thresholds.

On December 23 2025, Santiment reported that XRP's social media sentiment fell to one of its most negative readings in two months as the token traded more than 30% below recent highs.
