XRP News: XRP Price Crashes to $0.89, Its Lowest Close Since November 2024

The XRP price fell overnight to its lowest level in two years. According to five-minute data from CoinGecko, XRP dropped to $0.8952 at 23:10 UTC on November 14, 2026. On Bitstamp, the daily low was $0.8926 and the daily close $0.9137. By 07:42 UTC on Sunday, XRP had recovered to $0.950. That leaves it 3.2% lower than 24 hours earlier, 17.5% lower than a week ago and 28.3% lower than a month ago.

The drop is part of the weekend sell-off that pushed bitcoin below $64,000 on Saturday evening. Our first overview is in the crypto news for November 14, and the reasons behind every leg of the sell-off are tracked under why is crypto down. How XRP first slipped below the one-dollar mark is covered in our report on the XRP price below $1, and the ranking shift in XRP dropping out of the top 5.

XRP news today: a low of $0.89, then a rebound to $0.95

Over the past 24 hours, CoinGecko shows the XRP price trading between $0.997 at the top and $0.894 at the bottom, a range of just over 10%. The high came on Saturday afternoon at 13:50 UTC, after which the selling began. It accelerated in the evening as bitcoin lost key levels. After the low shortly after 23:00 UTC, XRP made two attempts to recover, dipped back to about $0.90 at 02:00 UTC and climbed to almost $0.98 by early morning before easing again.

For comparison, bitcoin lost 4.5% to $64,004 over the same period, ether 5.8% to $1,784 and Solana 6.9% to $69.98 (CoinGecko, 07:42 UTC). On a daily basis XRP held up slightly better than its large peers; on a weekly basis it did not. Over seven days XRP fell 17.5%, bitcoin 14.9%.

When was the XRP price last this low?

The November 14 close is the lowest since November 15, 2024. On that day XRP closed at $0.8933 on Bitstamp, in the middle of the rally after the US election, and jumped to $1.12 the next day. Blockchain Reporter reaches the same conclusion using Binance daily candles: the lowest daily close since November 15, 2024. Even during this year's pullbacks, XRP held the one-dollar mark on a closing basis; before this week, the lowest daily low since December 2024 was $0.985 on August 14, 2026 (Bitstamp, cryptoticker.io analysis).

The Bitstamp closes show how fast the slide was: $1.53 on September 26, 2026, $1.21 on November 5 and $1.01 on November 13. Exactly one year ago, on November 15, 2025, XRP cost $2.24. Today's price is 58% below that.

XRP price vs. its record: 74% lower

XRP's all-time high is $3.65, set on July 17, 2025, according to CoinGecko. At $0.950, the price is 73.9% below that. Other large altcoins are similarly far from their peaks: Solana is 76.1% below its record, ether 63.9% and bitcoin 49.2% (CoinGecko, 07:42 UTC). In spring 2025, XRP fell to $1.61 on April 7, 2025, after its first peak and went on to set the record in July. That is no guarantee of a repeat.

XRP liquidations: $42 million to $52 million, almost all longs

A liquidation is the forced closing of a leveraged position by the exchange once the posted collateral no longer covers the loss. Every liquidated long is an automatic sell order that pushes the price further down. Data providers report different totals for XRP, so here is the range: Liqwall counted $41.8 million in XRP liquidations over 24 hours to 07:42 UTC, of which $37.9 million were longs. CoinGabbar, citing liquidate.fun data, reports $51.7 million, of which $49.9 million were longs, about 97%. According to CoinGabbar, most positions were wiped out between 01:30 and 02:30 UTC on Sunday.

Market-wide, the wave was far larger. As bitcoin broke below $64,000, TokenPost counted $691 million in liquidations within one hour on Saturday evening, $671 million of them longs.

Open interest and funding: leverage is leaving the XRP market

Open interest is the value of all open futures contracts. According to Blockchain Reporter, open interest in Binance's XRPUSDT perpetual fell from 346.3 million to 291.4 million XRP between November 6 and 15, down 15.8%; in dollar terms it dropped from about $408 million to $280 million. The ratio of long to short accounts there fell from 3.07 on November 13 to 2.67 on November 15. Far more accounts are still positioned for rising prices, but fewer than before the drop.

The funding rate is the fee exchanged every eight hours between the long and short sides of a perpetual. Right now it is negative: Blockchain Reporter puts it at minus 0.0044% per eight hours on Binance, and on OKX it stood at minus 0.0029% at 07:45 UTC on Sunday. Negative funding means shorts pay longs because more capital is betting on falling prices. Sentiment matches: the Fear and Greed Index from alternative.me is at 10 out of 100, "extreme fear", after 13 the day before.

Why is XRP falling? Fed expectations and outflows hit the whole market

There is no XRP-specific trigger this weekend; the drivers hit the entire market. According to the CME FedWatch tool, cited by bitcoin.com, the probability of a quarter-point rate hike by the US Federal Reserve in December stood at 88.5% on Saturday. According to Coinpaper, citing Farside Investors, about $1.07 billion flowed out of US spot bitcoin ETFs from November 9 to 13. The same source cites Coinbase Institutional: the supply of the stablecoins USDT, USDC and DAI fell by $11.5 billion in 30 days. Fewer stablecoins means less capital ready to buy into falling prices.

Will XRP fall below $0.80? The levels to watch

This article does not make a price forecast. The levels the market is watching can be read from the price data. The first is the overnight low at about $0.89. Below that, Blockchain Reporter points to $0.8784, the low of November 16, 2024. The next zone is around $0.77: that is where XRP closed on Bitstamp on November 14, 2024, the day before it jumped above one dollar. Is 50 cents the next mark for XRP? The price was last at that level in early November 2024; on November 5, 2024, it closed at $0.514. That would mean almost halving from here.

On the upside, Blockchain Reporter names the round one-dollar mark, then the 20-day average at $1.16 and the 200-day average at $1.26. CoinGabbar points to a zone around $1.20 where, according to a heatmap from analyst BankXRP, many leveraged positions sit. Analyst scenarios with names and sources are collected in our XRP price prediction.

Trading the XRP price: long, short and leverage explained

This is not a recommendation, only an explanation of the tools. A long position profits when the price rises, a short position when it falls. Both work without leverage, by buying or selling XRP, and with leverage via futures, perpetuals or CFDs.

Leverage magnifies the result in both directions. At 10x, a 10% price move changes your position by 100%: with $1,000 in collateral you control $10,000 worth of XRP. Anyone who went long at 10x at $0.997 on Saturday at 13:50 UTC was down 10.2% at the low of $0.8952, and therefore liquidated. Anyone who went long at 10x at the low was up about 61% on their collateral at $0.950. At 100x, a move of about 1% against you is enough to lose the entire collateral; XRP often moved more than that within an hour overnight.

Two tools limit the damage. A stop-loss closes the position automatically at a price set in advance. Position size determines how much you risk; many traders put no more than 1 to 2% of their capital on a single trade. Fees, order types and licences are compared in our crypto exchange comparison, platforms for futures and perpetuals in the perp DEX comparison. The decision is yours. Leveraged products and CFDs can result in the loss of your entire stake.
