XRP remains the only top-five cryptocurrency still down over the past 90 days despite broader market recovery in Q2 2026. XRP tends to react more strongly to negative sentiment than Bitcoin, Ethereum, or BNB, a pattern seen across major downturns since 2020. In May 2025 it weakened before recovering amid volatility and macro uncertainty. During the October 2025 market crash, XRP fell more than most major assets. In Q1 2026, Middle East tensions drove a sell-off that pushed XRP down further, while other assets declined less. In Q2 2026, XRP recovered only about 2% and repeatedly failed to hold gains after rallies. Policy clarity, including the CLARITY Act’s passage, is presented as a potential catalyst for renewed positive momentum.
