$XRP price stays down
Often referred to as "Uptober" in crypto circles thanks to a track record of outperformance, October might need to shed that nickname given that major cryptocurrencies, including $XRP, are down for the month. With few hours left in the month, $XRP is down 15.86% so far, on track for its first red month since July.
$XRP closed August and September up 30.11% and 7.91% respectively, with traders expecting the positive price run to continue, but this was not to be, as concerns within and outside the market weighed on crypto markets.
The most recent is the Binance heist, which saw $6.3 billion in client assets stolen. In a positive update, Binance said it has covered about 90% of the value of cryptocurrency that hackers stole earlier this week and plans to restore withdrawals by Sunday, making progress on a pledge to fully reimburse customers.
$XRP had a nice Q3 2026 and the official $XRP X account shared key highlights. The amount of stablecoins on the $XRP Ledger increased by 25.2% to $1.03 billion, while net inflows of $XRP ETP globally jumped by 39.6% to $355.3 million. Payment volume rose 4.3% to 42.82 billion $XRP, while native DEX volume rose 20.2% to $614.8 million. Distributed tokenized RWA value jumped 29.2% to $498.7 million as Aviva's investors launched a tokenized fund with BNY Mellon.
