What to know:

  • XRP's price approached the $2 mark as social sentiment around the token turned sharply negative, according to Santiment data.
  • The token has experienced a 31% decline over two months, making it vulnerable to further losses if market risk appetite weakens.
  • Santiment's sentiment model indicates XRP is in a 'fear zone,' where negative commentary significantly outweighs positive talk, potentially influencing market positioning.

XRP slipped toward the $2 mark in early U.S. hours Friday as social sentiment around the token deteriorated sharply, with new data from analytics firm Santiment showing the deepest stretch of bearish commentary since October.

Santiment’s sentiment model, which tracks streams of positive and negative social messages against price, shows XRP entering what the firm labels a fear zone, a level where negative commentary materially outweighs bullish talk.

Similar readings earlier in the year have aligned with periods of capitulation from short-term holders, although not all instances have marked durable bottoms.

The firm noted a parallel with Nov. 21, when a comparable spike in negative messages preceded a brief rebound of about 22% over the following three days before momentum faded. It suggested traders monitor whether sentiment stabilizes or continues to deteriorate, a shift that often shapes positioning in retail-heavy markets.

XRP has held up better than some smaller tokens but remains sensitive to rapid deleveraging and to the unwind of carry trades tied to US data releases and shifts in global risk appetite.

Single Currency-Pegged Tokens Surge Following MiCA Rollout.

Single Currency-Pegged Tokens Surge Following MiCA Rollout.

The post Single Currency-Pegged Tokens Surge Following MiCA Rollout. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The euro stablecoin market has rebounded in the year since the European Union’s (EU) Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) came into force, with market capitalization doubling after regulations governing the tokens rolled out in June 2024, according to a new report. The “Euro Stablecoin Trends Report 2025” from London-based payments processing company Decta points a potential shift for the tokens, whose value is pegged to the single European currency and which have historically struggled to gain traction against their U.S. dollar-pegged counterparts. The swing contrasts with the 48% contraction experienced the year before, according to the report. It also contrasts with a 26% advance in total stablecoin market cap. Euro coin market cap climbed to some $500 million by May 2025, the report said, mainly due to improved issuer obligations and standardized reserve requirements. It’s now $680 million, according to data tracked by CoinGecko. Even so, that’s just a tiny fraction of the $300 billion held in U.S. dollar-pegged tokens, a market dominated by Tether’s USDT with Circle Internet’s (CRCL) USDC in second place. Growth has been especially concentrated among a few standout tokens. EURS, issued by Malta-based Stasis, posted the most dramatic gains, soaring 644% million to $283.9 million by October 2025. Circle Internet’s EURC and EURCV, from Societe Generale’s SG-Forge, also recorded significant gains. Transaction activity surged in parallel. Monthly euro-stablecoin volume rose nearly ninefold after MiCA’s implementation US$3.83 billion. EURC and EURCV were among the biggest beneficiaries, with volume expanding 1,139% and 343% respectively, driven by increased usage in payments, fiat on-ramps and digital-asset trading. Consumer awareness also appears to be climbing. Decta found substantial spikes in search activity across the EU, including 400% growth in Finland and 313.3% in Italy, with smaller but steady increases in markets such as Cyprus and Slovakia.
