A 75% decline in xrp burn rate and overall network activity suggests significantly reduced usage and demand for the asset, which is a bearish fundamental signal.
Information is based on reported on-chain data from xrpscan and price data from coinmarketcap, which are reputable sources.
Declining network activity, a sharp drop in burn rate, and noted 'growing selling pressure' indicate weakening fundamentals and investor confidence, likely leading to continued downward price pressure.
Reduced network activity signifies a fundamental shift in user engagement and demand, which typically impacts price over a sustained period rather than an immediate, sharp movement.

Amid this steady price drop, XRP has seen its network activities continue to decline.

While the asset saw about 519 XRP burned as fees in the previous day, the massive reduction seen the following day included the XRP burn rate declining by a massive 75% in just 24 hours, according to data provided by XRPSCAN.

Nonetheless, data from CoinMarketCap shows that XRP has declined by 2.53% over the last 24 hours, and it is trading at $1.45 as of writing time. While it remains unclear whether XRP would recover from the low price level anytime soon, the slowdown in its network activity coupled with the poor performance from XRP ETFs does not provide a positive outlook for its potential price movement. #XRP #XRP Price Prediction #XRP ETF
