XRP Is Experiencing Its Most Negative Sentiment in the Last Three Months—But the Data Doesn’t Support That
CryptoCompass editorial visual for markets coverage.

According to Santiment data, investor sentiment towards XRP has fallen to its most negative level in the last three months as the price has failed to show the expected recovery. Comments on Reddit, Telegram, and other crypto communities reveal that individual investors are becoming significantly pessimistic about XRP.

Santiment noted that the XRP price falling back below the $1 level could increase pressure on individual investors. According to the company, given the current price outlook, it wouldn’t be surprising if negative sentiment on social media continues in the short term.

However, on-chain activity on the XRP Ledger paints a different picture than price and sentiment. In the last 24 hours, 49,929 active addresses were registered on the XRP network. This figure represents the highest number of active addresses seen on the network in over two months.

Santiment noted that XRP Ledger activity was near its lowest levels since 2026 in early July, and stated that the recent surge could be a significant counter-signal for the market.

According to the platform, the simultaneous occurrence of strong on-chain participation and extremely negative investor sentiment creates a scenario that XRP bulls will want to follow. Santiment claims that if XRP maintains its current technical structure and demand regains strength, the pessimism prevailing today could be seen as a “buying opportunity at a discount” by cryptocurrency users in the future.
