On-chain data from Glassnode has unveiled the reason why the XRP price has been in a persistent downtrend since 2025. Notably, the XRP price crashed from its high above $3 last year<\/a> and has been falling ever since. While many in the crypto space believed XRP could eventually reclaim the $3 level, the cryptocurrency has continued to struggle<\/a>, shedding more gains each month amid broader market weakness and a shift in sentiment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why The XRP Price Has Been Declining Since 2025<\/h2>\n

Glassnode has attributed XRP\u2019s prolonged price correction since 2025<\/a> to a shift in investor behavior driven by weakening on-chain profitability and rising losses among holders. According to the data, XRP fell<\/a> below the aggregate holder cost basis, which represents the average price at which current investors acquired their tokens.<\/p>\n

When a cryptocurrency trades below this level, a large portion of holders are technically underwater<\/a>, meaning they are holding at a loss. This condition often leads to panic selling<\/a> as investors attempt to limit further losses, increasing selling pressure on the asset and reinforcing the price downtrend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A key indicator supporting this view is the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR)<\/a>, measured using a seven-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The SOPR tracks whether coins being moved or sold on the blockchain are being done so at a profit or a loss. Glassnode\u2019s chart shows<\/a> that XRP\u2019s SOPR declined from about 1.6 in July 2025 to around 0.96 recently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notably, a value above 1 indicates that holders are selling at a profit, while a value below that signals that coins are being sold at a loss. This sustained move below the neutral level suggests that most selling activity in XRP<\/a> is now occurring at a loss rather than in profit-taking conditions.<\/p>\n

As a result, on-chain profitability for XRP holders has turned negative. Such an environment usually weakens investors\u2019 confidence in a cryptocurrency and reduces the incentive to hold it, especially among short-term traders. Negative profitability can also discourage new capital inflows, as prospective buyers see limited signs of recovery or momentum, further contributing to price decline or stagnation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

XRP Structure Mirrors Bearish 2022 Setup \u00a0<\/h2>\n

Interestingly, Glassnode noted that XRP\u2019s current market structure<\/a> closely resembles a period between September 2021 and May 2022. During that earlier phase, XRP\u2019s SOPR also fell below 1 and remained there for a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The period was also marked by prolonged consolidation and low volatility following sharp declines, before the market eventually stabilized. This comparison suggests that XRP may be experiencing a similar structural phase in which losses dominate trading activity and recovery is delayed until selling pressure eases and sentiment moves back to positive territory<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of writing, the XRP price has declined even further, now trading under $1.4. CoinMarketCap data shows that the cryptocurrency has plummeted by more than 4.3% over the past 24 hours and by well over 46% year to date.<\/p>\n
