Why are the community and project team’s voices not aligned after XRP plummeted 45% from $3.65?

Question

【Crypto World】Recently, some financial media figures have expressed sharp opinions about XRP retail holders in the community, suggesting that they have formed a certain faith-based group, and even recommending that these holders should provide more liquidity to Ripple executives. These remarks immediately sparked a backlash within the community.

In fact, XRP’s performance has indeed disappointed many. From the historical high of nearly $3.65 in July 2025, the current trading price has fallen to around $2.00—representing a decline of approximately 45%. This drop occurred after the SEC reached a settlement with Ripple, and the originally anticipated rally ultimately reversed.

The significant price correction, differing voices within the community, and the tension between project teams and holders—all reflect a reality: XRP market participants are readjusting their expectations for the future. Is this a rational market pricing, or are other factors at play? This question deserves attention.

According to data, a 45% decline is indeed eye-catching, but it is worth noting that the price fell after the SEC settlement. This reflects the market's re-pricing of Ripple's fundamentals rather than a simple breakdown of technical consensus.

Uh, a 45% drop and you're still blaming retail investors for providing liquidity? That logic is really incredible.

Wait, the SEC has already settled, and it's still falling like this? Now that's truly hilarious.

Another scene of faith in the crypto world being shattered. Is the script really that cliché?

Is it still worth buying the dip now that it's down to 2 bucks, everyone? I don't have the guts for that.

I really can't understand the project team's recent moves. Does the community really need to be left behind like this?

But on the other hand, going from 3.65 to 2 bucks really shattered the illusion, haha.

Media people have really sharp tongues, but what's truly heartbreaking is that the price itself is the answer, right?

This statement is truly amazing. Saying that retail investors are a faith community and still need to provide liquidity to executives? Laughable. Why don't the executives provide liquidity to us?

---

45% decline... After the settlement, it actually fell further. This script is quite ironic.

---

When will media people shut up? Retail investors should just obediently lose money, right?

---

SEC settled, XRP is still falling. Where's the promised reversal?

---

Why should liquidity be provided to executives? I also need liquidity myself.

---

The issue of community and project teams not getting along has been obvious for a long time. Are you just realizing now?

---

From 3.65 to 2 dollars, this wave of market movement really woke people up.

---

Faith community? What about others? Retail investors should wake up.

---

It's been a long time since the settlement, and it's still falling. Are the fundamentals really that good?

---

I can't quite understand XRP's logic anymore. The promotion was so aggressive, but this is the result.

45% decline, is this the "good news" after the SEC settlement? Laughable, everyone holding is waiting for redemption.

---

Instead of blaming retail investors' faith, better ask what's going on with the executives' unlocking plans.

---

Falling from 3.65 to 2 dollars, who still has the mood to listen to project teams tell stories...

---

Community division is the real reflection, one side bullish while the other cuts losses.

---

The media says retail investors are faith groups, so what about institutions bottom-fishing? Rational investing?

---

Falling even after the settlement, this logic is really incredible.

---

The term liquidity is used so precisely, smart people all understand.

AirdropHunter007 · Answer

45% direct cut, is this still called a settlement? I would laugh if it drops to 2 dollars

---

Starting to shift blame onto retail investors again, classic example

---

Believers? Ha, those media people are the biggest believers themselves

---

Even after the SEC settlement, it still fell like this, indicating the problem isn't regulation, brother

---

From 3.65 to 2 dollars, my wallet is crying

---

The project team and retail investors have long since lost trust. Are you just realizing now?

---

Proposing liquidity for executives? That’s really absurd, whoever loves who can go

---

Breaking the support level and still expecting a rebound, dreaming

---

The fate of retail investors as the bagholders, this time I truly understand

---

All the bullish expectations are just self-comforting
