XRP Flash Crash: Echoes of 2017 Market Volatility

A significant flash crash in XRP’s price on October 10-11, 2025, has raised concerns about market fragility and potential regulatory influences. This event resembles past volatility patterns observed in the crypto market during 2017. External factors such as policy news and macroeconomic shocks contributed to the rapid decline in prices across major exchanges, impacting not only XRP but also Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and other altcoins. Ripple Labs, facing significant scrutiny for its regulatory compliance, is focused on product development and engaging with regulators. While key figures like Brad Garlinghouse and David Schwartz remain silent on the recent crash, market analysts are closely watching the developments.
