According to data from Santiment, market sentiment surrounding XRP, the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has reached a distinct low point. The analytics firm recorded that its weighted sentiment indicator—which combines the volume of social media discussion with the ratio of positive to negative commentary—has fallen to its lowest level recorded in 2026.
Santiment’s latest assessment reveals that this drop marks the weakest sentiment for XRP since October 2025. While the company attributes some of this decline to subdued price action, it emphasized that the lack of momentum isn’t the only factor at play.
Mini glossary: Weighted sentiment is a metric that measures the number of social media posts about an asset and whether those posts generally express a positive or negative tone. Santiment is known as a crypto market research company offering on-chain and social data analytics.
The analysis notes that investors have grown weary, unable to find any strong new catalysts for XRP despite years of discussion around legal clarity and the expectation of institutional adoption for Ripple. As a result, the volume of discussion has dropped and overall expectations have been significantly lowered.
Santiment observes that levels of fear, uncertainty, and doubt have reached an extreme for XRP, yet similar periods in the past have sometimes sparked significant rallies.
According to Santiment, some of XRP’s strongest rebounds have historically occurred just as market interest and discussion hit their lowest ebb. The company highlights that at present, not only has the volume of chatter slumped, but the overall tone of comments has become predominantly negative.
Data cited in the report shows that XRP climbed 2.74 percent in the past 24 hours, reaching $1.14. Over the past week, the cryptocurrency gained 1.16 percent, signaling a modest upward trend despite the bearish sentiment backdrop.

This suggests that activity within the XRP ecosystem does not always align with the prevailing market mood.
Among positive developments, XRP’s inclusion on the FortuneCrypto100 list—Fortune’s ranking of the top projects shaping the future of blockchain—is also highlighted. The list, curated by Fortune, brings together the sector’s leading companies and projects.
Ripple, in addition, has announced the expansion of its longstanding payments partnership with Bitso—a step expected to support institutional stablecoin settlement flows across Latin America.
According to Ripple’s latest statement, Bitso’s Mexican peso-backed, regulated stablecoin MXNB will be issued on the XRP Ledger. This asset will be integrated into Ripple Payments’ DEX infrastructure.
The announcement adds that both RLUSD and MXNB will together provide regulated US dollar and Mexican peso liquidity within XRPL’s permissioned DEX structure. This framework aims to enable real world institutional payment flows and facilitate further corporate adoption.
