CNBC Crowns XRP: Why Is the Market Reacting with a Drop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The contrast is striking this Thursday, January 8th. On the CNBC set, analysts are categorical: XRP is positioned to be the major asset of 2026, stealing the spotlight from giants Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC)<\/strong> and Ether (ETH)<\/strong>. Yet, the market responded with an immediate retracement<\/strong>, causing the price to drop 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though this drop occurs within a globally retreating crypto<\/a> market, the lack of momentum at the time of the announcement is concerning. Capital is no longer jumping on good news. This lack of liquidity weakens hopes of reaching a new ATH this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutions in Accumulation Mode: ETFs Are Loading Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the price wavers, Smart Money<\/strong> remains unfazed. According to data reported by CoinDesk, institutional demand via Spot XRP ETFs<\/strong> listed in the United States remains extremely robust. Net inflows continue to be positive in early January, signaling that asset managers are taking advantage of this volatility<\/strong> to accumulate at low prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spot trading of $XRP<\/a> is still dominated by big whales.

For the past 4 years, whales have maintained
$XRP<\/a> spot dominance.

They have accumulated a significant amount of supply, and when the price of
$XRP<\/a> rises, they will sell to retail investors. pic.twitter.com\/dCrBorjJWM<\/a><\/p>— CW (@CW8900) January 7, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote>
