XRP Social Sentiment Hits 3-Week High Fear Zone With 1.1 Bullish-to-Bearish Ratio on May 25

According to blockchain analytics platform Santiment, XRP social sentiment entered a clear "FUD zone" on May 25, with the bullish-to-bearish commentary ratio dropping to 1.1 positive comments for every bearish remark—the first time in three weeks. At the time of writing, XRP traded near $1.34, down roughly 0.8% over the past 24 hours amid broader crypto market weakness.

Historically, similar extreme fear spikes have often appeared near local bottoms before rebounds. Santiment noted that such sentiment extremes typically signal weaker hands have already exited, reducing selling pressure and allowing long-term buyers to accumulate. Previous XRP fear cycles were followed by rebounds ranging between 20% and 50% over subsequent weeks. Network wallet growth also accelerated sharply in May, adding thousands of new wallets within 24 hours—a divergence that suggests underlying strength despite market pessimism.
