Despite positive news surrounding Ripple, XRP continues to decline, leaving many traders perplexed about its market direction. According to Dom Kwok, founder of EasyA, a learning platform for Web3 concepts, this trend points to broader global market turbulence rather than project fundamentals. Analyzing the past month’s performance, Kwok highlights that XRP’s value has dropped over 18% – mirroring the pullback seen across Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. This decline coincides with investors seeking safe haven assets during times of uncertainty. Such a move reflects a cautious approach as investors remain on the sidelines until macro conditions stabilize before re-entering volatile positions. While Ripple continues to expand its regulatory footprint, partnerships, and payment corridors, its market response remains minimal, highlighting the disconnect between positive news and investor sentiment.
