🚨 #XRP Sentiment Hits “Fear” Zone—But On-Chain Data Tells a Different Story

XRP traders are extremely bearish right now, but the market signals suggest retail might be making a costly mistake 👀

While the comments, posts, and social chatter around XRP have collapsed into full fear, the XRP Ledger is having its most active period of 2025. At the same time, regulated investment products are still seeing steady inflows—meaning institutions aren’t backing away.

This same sentiment split happened in late November, right before a short rebound.

Now it’s happening again.

🔹 Santiment shows XRP entered the Fear Zone for the 2nd time in 3 weeks

🔹 Price dropped 31% over two months, hitting $2 before recovering to $2.15

🔹 This is the most negative sentiment reading since Nov. 21

But behind the fear-driven noise…

📈 On-chain activity is exploding.

CryptoQuant reports XRP’s velocity hit 0.0324 on Dec. 2—its highest reading of the entire year. That means coins are moving faster between wallets, showing intense network activity and rapid turnover.

High velocity can mean panic selling…

Or it can mean big players are quietly absorbing supply at lower prices.

Either way, XRP is being used, traded, and circulated faster than at any point earlier in 2025.

Retail sentiment says “fear.”

Market behavior says “activity is rising.”

This disconnect is worth watching closely. 👀💡
