XRP Plunges Below $1 Amid Derivatives Frenzy and CPI Jitters
The price of XRP plummeted to $0.99 on Binance, its lowest point since November 2024.
This decline came after a report revealed that 200,000 XRP tokens were drained from the Coreum cross-chain bridge.
Activity in the XRP derivatives market surged ahead of Wednesday's Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, which is expected to impact yields and inflation expectations.
XRP has had a disastrous year so far, losing 46% of its value despite notable developments within the ecosystem, including Ripple's full MiCA authorization in Europe and the expansion of the XRPL beyond payments.
