However, there\u2019s a significant discrepancy between XRP\u2019s bottom on Binance and other exchanges, as the asset remained above $1.20 on most of the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, this has raised a few eyebrows in the cryptocurrency community, especially within the ever-vocal XRP Army.<\/p>\n<p>ERGAG CRYPTO, for once, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/egragcrypto\/status\/1976905365468897381\">believes<\/a> this crash was \u201cdesigned to liquidate all XRP long positions.\u201d The analyst went further, blaming Binance and its former CEO for the collapse, while highlighting the difference in price drops among the largest digital assets.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe market collapsed in just 8 minutes, and #XRP experienced the highest percentage drop compared to #BTC and #ETH. #BTC only dropped 13% from $118K, which was a normal retracement. #ETH fell by 14-15%. That\u2019s unusual! and #XRP from $2.65 dropped 70%.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>What\u2019s Next for XRP?<\/h2>\n<p>Now that the dust has settled, XRP has recovered a lot of ground from the recent lows and is up to $2.40 on all exchanges. However, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez indicated that the asset might not be out of the woods yet.<\/p>\n<p>He posted a chart showing whether XRP\u2019s current price is above a critical red line, which would mean a more bullish outlook. Yet, the asset\u2019s recent correction has pushed it below that line, which he categorized as \u201cbearish\u201d news for Ripple\u2019s token.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Below the red line = bearish.<br \/>\n\u2013 Above the red line = bullish. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SHtWLEHIPF\">pic.twitter.com\/SHtWLEHIPF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali (@ali_charts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1977306749146436020?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/what-happened-to-xrp-as-half-of-its-value-disappeared-during-the-crash\/\">What Happened to XRP as Half of Its Value Disappeared During the Crash?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While bitcoin and ether crashed by up to 30% during the market-wide meltdown on Friday evening and Saturday morning, XRP, which is among the largest altcoins, suffered a substantially more painful decline that saw it dump well below $1.5 on most exchanges and even beneath $1 on Binance.
