Coinbase warns that 97% of XRP derivatives long positions are underwater at current prices. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹124 ($1.30). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by U.Today, with live market data added, as of Sun, 18 Oct 2026 03:30:01 UTC.
This highlights the significant risk for XRP traders and derivatives market stability, as most long positions are currently unprofitable, potentially leading to liquidations if prices don't recover.
- 97% of XRP derivatives long positions are above current price of $1.31.
- XRP price down 0.54% in 24 hours, 7.09% in past week.
- Market cap of XRP remains substantial at $81.93 billion.
Coinbase Markets has issued a warning about the high-risk nature of 
XRP long positions in the derivatives market. According to the report, 97% of these positions were opened when XRP was trading above its current price of $1.31.
This revelation comes as XRP is experiencing a slight downturn, with a 0.54% decrease in the past 24 hours and a 7.09% drop over the last week. The current market cap of XRP stands at $81.93 billion, indicating significant investor interest despite the recent price decline.
The data suggests that a large portion of traders are currently in a losing position, which could lead to increased selling pressure if these positions are liquidated. This could further exacerbate the downward trend in XRP's price.
The broader cryptocurrency market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.8 trillion. 
Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has seen a modest increase of 0.13% in the past 24 hours. The overall market sentiment, as measured by the Fear & Greed Index, is currently at 53, indicating a neutral stance.
The warning from Coinbase underscores the potential risks associated with leveraged trading and the importance of risk management in the volatile cryptocurrency market. Traders should monitor XRP's price movements closely and be prepared for potential market fluctuations.

The chart plots XRP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹135.53 (about $1.30), down 0.7% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
