Significant realized losses happen when a large number of investors sell their coins at a price lower than what they originally paid. This usually coincides with fear taking over. When traders panic and capitulate, they lock in their losses instead of holding and hoping for a rebound. Santiment noted that when the previous weekly milestone of $1.93 billion in realized losses was reached 39 months ago, XRP proceeded to jump 114% over the next eight months. In separate news, the daily successful transactions on the XRP Ledger have jumped about 40%, nearing 2.5 million per day, pointing to rising real network usage even as the XRP price remains below key moving averages. #XRP News #XRP
