There is a record level of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) surrounding XRP in the cryptocurrency market, report analysts from Santiment. According to their estimates, negative sentiment has reached its highest levels in the past six months — since the implementation of trading tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Negative Sentiment Surrounding XRP: Causes and Trends
Santiment experts note that over the last two out of three days, the share of negative mentions about XRP significantly outweighed positive ones. This surge in pessimism among retail traders, based on historical data, often precedes a change in price trend. Specialists emphasize that markets frequently react contrary to the expectations of the majority, especially when irrational fear and doubt prevail.
“The level of panic surrounding XRP has peaked since the introduction of Trump’s tariffs,” stated Santiment.
XRP Price Dynamics and Outlook
As of October 2025, the price of XRP hovers around $2.97. The chart published by Santiment shows that the asset is demonstrating signs of stabilization despite the wave of negativity among investors.
Analysts highlight that such peaks of FUD are often viewed as a potential buying signal, as the market tends to move against the sentiments of the majority of retail traders. According to Santiment, previous surges in negativity have already served as precursors for price increases in XRP.

It is worth noting that in August 2025, seven leading exchange-traded fund providers submitted updated applications for the registration of XRP-based products. This could serve as an additional support factor for the asset in the medium term.
