\nXRP data warns about potential market top
\nMore than 70% of XRP\u2019s realized market capitalization\u2014a measure of the XRP value based on the price at which each token last moved\u2014has been accumulated between late 2024 and early 2025, according to Glassnode.
\nSource: @CryptoVizArtThe realized cap of the 3-to-6-month group\u2014a younger coin age band\u2014has risen since November 2024, including dramatic increases witnessed after January 2025, when the XRP price peaked at around $3.40.
\nThis top-heavy market structure is historically fragile, as newer investors tend to be more sensitive to price swings, often triggering sharper sell-offs during corrections.
\nIn late 2017, XRP saw a massive influx of capital from young coins just before peaking near $3.55, followed by a prolonged 95% drawdown.

\nXRP\u2019s network activity cools
\nXRP\u2019s number of active addresses spiked sharply in March 2025, hitting record levels. Since then, activity has dropped by over 90%, returning to levels seen before the breakout.

\nWhile it\u2019s not a guaranteed warning sign, the sharp drop in active addresses could mean fewer people are using XRP to send or receive funds, and more are just holding.
\nXRP technicals hint at 25% price decline
\nXRP’s weekly chart shows the price consolidating within a falling wedge pattern.
\nAs of May 26, the cryptocurrency was showing signs of entering a short-term correction cycle after failing to break above the wedge\u2019s upper trendline.

\nThe lower trendline aligns with the 50-week exponential moving average (50-week EMA; the red wave) near $1.76, down about 25% from the current levels.
