Ripple filed a comment letter endorsing the SEC's proposed crypto regulatory framework on October twenty-third, and XRP promptly fell below a dollar thirty anyway. That gap between regulatory progress and market response is the signal worth tracking right now.
XRP traded between a dollar twenty-seven and a dollar thirty on October twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth. That's down fourteen percent in October, which compares poorly to Bitcoin's four-point-four percent decline over the same period.
The on-chain data adds to the concern. Wallets holding between ten million and one hundred million XRP dropped from three hundred fifty-one to three hundred thirty-nine over recent weeks.
Here's where the story gets structurally interesting. Franklin Templeton issued approximately one hundred fifty million dollars in tokenized money-market fund shares on the XRP Ledger on October twenty-fifth.
Spot XRP ETFs recorded four-point-three million dollars in combined net inflows for the week of October nineteenth through twenty-fifth. That's weak.
One broader pressure point: the US CLARITY Act remains stalled. The CEO of Apex Group warned on October twenty-fourth that the regulatory delay is actively pushing crypto firms toward Asia and the Middle East.
A ledger maintenance note before the close. The fixCleanup three-four-zero amendment activation slipped to November fourth after validator support dropped below the required threshold, restarting the two-week approval window.
