XRP registered one of its strongest network-growth bursts of the year, with Santiment reporting 4,300 new wallets created in 24 hours, the fourth-largest spike of 2026.
Santiment Points To Undervalued Setup For XRP That combination, he argued, places XRP in a statistically less overheated position than during periods when recent and longer-term holders are sitting on large unrealized gains. “Again, that golden rule, they’re both below zero, meaning you’d be buying whether you’re doing short or long-term trading at a less risky point than the average moment in XRP’s 11, 12 year history now,” Brian said.
You’re buying when those fellow peers have already experienced immense losses that you haven’t because you’d be opening a fresh new entry into XRP.”
Outside of one outlier around May 14, he said XRP sentiment had remained below its typical average for roughly the prior 10 days. That matters because, in Santiment’s framework, overheated bullishness often appears closer to local tops, while apathy or frustration can emerge near more attractive entries.
The livestream also framed XRP within a softer altcoin environment. Brian noted that many assets have faced negative sentiment because they failed to follow Bitcoin into a more convincing rally. He pointed to the way market attention around specific integrations or partnerships can fade quickly if price does not respond, referencing XRP-related hype around a Rakuten partnership roughly a month earlier as an example of how narratives can lose traction without confirmation from the market.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.36.
