XRP has just triggered a signal that the market had not observed since 2022. Within a week, the token dropped by about 4% while on-chain data revealed nearly $1.93 billion in realized losses, an unprecedented level in nearly four years.

One can see a Bitcoin pullback as a diagnosis… or as a mirror.
