XRP price has fallen approximately 4% as the broader crypto market experiences a downturn. XRP (XRP) is trading at $1.35. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by CaptainAltcoin, with live market data added, as of Mon, 12 Oct 2026 23:00:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The decline in XRP's price could signal increased volatility and potential shifts in investor sentiment, especially if it tests key support levels.

Key takeaways
  • XRP price dropped 4% today, nearing the October low of $1.3177.
  • The token failed to hold the $1.40-$1.42 support zone.
  • Market cap remains substantial at $85.25B despite the decline.
  • Broader market also down, with Bitcoin falling 1.10%.

XRP is experiencing a downturn, with its price dropping approximately 4% today. This decline has pushed the token closer to the recent October low of $1.3177.

The failure to maintain the $1.40-$1.42 support zone indicates potential further downward movement, as buyers face an important test in the coming days.

The broader crypto market is also experiencing a correction, with Bitcoin down 1.10% and the overall market cap at $2.85T. The Fear & Greed index remains in 'Greed' territory at 69, suggesting continued market optimism despite the downturn.

XRP's market cap currently stands at $85.25B, highlighting its significant position in the crypto market despite the recent price decline.

The current market conditions suggest that investors should monitor key support levels for XRP, as a break below the October low could indicate further downside. Conversely, a bounce from this level could signal a potential recovery.
