XRP News Update: SEC Postponements and Major Holder Sell-Offs Drive XRP Under $2.50 Despite ETF Optimism
- XRP fell below $2.50 in October 2025 due to whale selling, SEC ETF delays, and macroeconomic pressures, per CoinoTag. - Institutional and retail investors exacerbated the selloff amid regulatory uncertainty, while Ripple's co-founder sold $120M in XRP. - A $1.8T mutual fund's XRP ETF application and RLUSD's $1B valuation signal long-term institutional confidence in the asset. - Technical analysis suggests potential rebound above $2.40, but a drop below $2.10 risks further declines to $1.80 support. - Reg

From a technical perspective, XRP could recover if it holds above $2.40, with the relative strength index (RSI) showing slight bearishness but not indicating oversold conditions, per the crypto.news report.

Blockchain data also shows that long-term investors are accumulating XRP below $2.40, suggesting renewed faith in its use for cross-border payments, as reported by CoinoTag.
Regulation remains a major unknown. Although delays have unsettled investors, some analysts expect the SEC to approve ETFs after the government shutdown ends, potentially sparking a rebound similar to the post-election rally in 2024, as outlined in Rector’s timeline. For now, XRP’s future will depend on how it navigates short-term selling pressure against the backdrop of possible institutional adoption and regulatory resolution.
