XRP contracts by 6% in a week after failing to break the psychological barrier at $2.80. The bearish performance erased over $18B in value as a result of heavy selling, much of which took place yesterday.
A failure to maintain the $2.75 support level could cause a crash to $2.70, further fueling the bear sentiment.
The dire performance comes despite the recent inclusion of XRP, alongside Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and Stellar, in the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF, the ‘first multi-asset spot crypto ETP in the United States’.
However, this bearish sentiment may be misplaced and a strong correction may arrive this coming October, which could set $XRP on track to a new ATH.
Maxi Doge ($MAXI) also stands to gain a lot during the coming bull market, as the $2.5M presale is already turning heads.
Why $XRP is Bullish for Q4 2025
The case for an XRP bull in October and, more broadly, for the entire Q4, rests on several strong points.
The first is Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, launched in December 2024, backed 1:1 by traditional assets like the US dollar and governmental bonds.
The asset comes with extensive utility, including allowing for instant settlement for cross-border payments and creating a bridge between tradfi currencies and the crypto ecosystem.
Next we have Ripple applying for banking status back in July 2025, with CEO Brad Garlinghouse stating in an X post:
If approved, we would have both state (via NYDFS) and federal oversight, a new (and unique!) benchmark for trust in the stablecoin market.
Combined with the multiple $XRP ETFs, currently awaiting approval from the SEC, this imbues the asset with legitimacy and long-term utility, which goes against the current bear trend.
This explains why prominent figures in the crypto space, like the president of NovaDius Wealth Management, Nate Geraci say that people underestimate the investor demand for spot $XRP ETFs.
But given all this bullish context, why the drop? The answer is simple: because Bitcoin dropped.
Bitcoin itself is on a downward spiral over the last seven days, dropping 7% from $117,000 to a new three-week low of $108,776.
As expected, Bitcoin’s high-brow performance impacted the whole market, kickstarting mass sales, which further fueled the bearish sentiment.
Things are set to change in October, as the next FOMC meeting draws close, promising to spoil us with another rate cut after the one on September 17.
The coming bull wave should push $XRP to a new ATH and bring more eyes on projects like Maxi Doge ($MAXI), which promise to take the meme market by storm.
How Maxi Doge Turns Risk-Driven Investments Mainstream
Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is not your typical meme Shiba Inu. This doggo takes crypto investing to new heights under the mantra of ‘Retire at 22’, which is enough to fuel armies of degen traders.
Maxi Doge is more than a meme, it’s a movement. One fueled by gallons of Red Bull and Maxitren 9000 and a complete lack of self-preservation.
Maxi only trades at 1000x leverage, buys green candles, and doubles down with every dip. It is the dream ecosystem for degen traders who take the ‘no pain, no gain’ philosophy literally.
The presale raised $2.5M so far and offers $MAXI at $0.000259, which recommends the project as one of the best crypto presales of 2025.
Based on Maxi’s presale performance, charisma, and unhinged attitude, we expect this doggo to rival Dogecoin in terms of influence and market impact
If you want to join the Maxi hype, head over to the official presale page and buy your $MAXI stack today. This rewards you with a dynamic staking APY of 133% and gives you access to a growing community which could turn Maxi into the next Dogecoin.
This isn’t financial advice. Always do your own research (DYOR) before investing.
