- XRP trader returns dropped, with Santiment data showing average wallets down 41% amid weak profitability.
- Glassnode reports only 43.4% of supply in profit, with heavy realized losses adding sustained selling pressure.
- Price consolidates near $1.33, with weak momentum and resistance holding as bearish conditions persist.
XRP traders are facing mounting losses as new data shows weakening returns and declining profitability across the market. According to Santiment and Glassnode, investor performance has dropped sharply, with XRP trading near $1.33. The shift reflects falling returns, heavy realized losses, and a prolonged consolidation phase following recent price volatility.
Investor Returns Hit Lowest Levels Since 2022
According to Santiment, average XRP wallets active over the past year are down 41%. This marks the lowest MVRV level since the FTX collapse in November 2022. The data shows a sharp decline in trader profitability rather than just price movement.
Santiment noted that such negative returns often indicate reduced risk for new buyers. This occurs because many market participants already hold positions at losses. Meanwhile, the scale of losses continues to expand. This trend indicates sustained selling pressure across recent months.
Profitability Metrics Show Widespread Losses
Glassnode reported that only 43.4% of XRP supply remains in profit. This is the lowest level since July 2024. Meanwhile, more than half of the holders are now underwater. Investors who bought above $2 have been realizing losses between $20 million and $110 million daily since November 2025.
These figures show consistent outflows tied to earlier accumulation phases. As losses mount, selling activity has remained elevated, adding pressure to price stability.
Price Action Signals Weak Momentum
Following these trends, XRP’s price structure shows consolidation after a sharp sell-off around April 2. Price continues to face resistance between $1.34 and $1.35, while buyers defend the $1.30 range.

Momentum indicators show this balance. The RSI is near 44, showing neutral to slightly bearish conditions. Meanwhile, the MACD remains below zero, confirming ongoing downside pressure despite a flattening trend.
Volume patterns further support this view. Trading activity spikes during sell-offs and rebounds, indicating reactive behavior rather than sustained direction.
