XRP Underperforms as Crypto Majors Slip in a Choppy Session

XRP posted the steepest decline among the three major assets tracked as Bitcoin and Ethereum also moved lower.

XRP posted the steepest decline among the three major assets tracked as Bitcoin and Ethereum also moved lower. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $75,904.00, up 0.2% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by CaptainAltcoin, with live market data added, as of Fri, 06 Nov 2026 17:00:04 UTC.

Why it matters

The divergence between XRP’s losses and the nearly unchanged total crypto market cap shows that weakness was concentrated in individual assets rather than broad-based across the entire market.

Key takeaways
  • XRP fell 4.82% over 24 hours and 4.56% over seven days
  • Bitcoin traded at $75,779 after a 0.34% daily decline
  • Ethereum stood at $2,229.31, down 1.01% over 24 hours
  • Total crypto market capitalization remained near $2.62 trillion

CaptainAltcoin reported another broadly negative session for crypto, with XRP experiencing heavier losses than Bitcoin and Ethereum. At the time covered by the outlet, Bitcoin was approaching $75,300, Ethereum was near $2,220, and XRP was around $1.18. The summary did not identify a single catalyst for the move, so the available reporting does not establish why sellers were targeting XRP more aggressively. The live snapshot shows XRP at $1.19, down 4.82% over 24 hours and 4.56% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $75.51 billion. Its reported daily loss is smaller than the more than 7% decline cited in the earlier CaptainAltcoin summary, indicating that the figures came from different market snapshots. The same timing difference appears around Bitcoin and Ethereum, which were trading slightly above the levels described in the original coverage.

Bitcoin was priced at $75,779, down 0.34% over 24 hours and 1.86% over seven days, while maintaining a $1.52 trillion market capitalization. Ethereum traded at $2,229.31, down 1.01% over 24 hours and 4.56% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $272.38 billion. Bitcoin’s comparatively limited daily decline contrasted with the deeper seven-day losses recorded by both assets.

Despite the negative moves across the three tracked coins, the total crypto market capitalization was approximately $2.62 trillion and the overall market was described as flat. The Fear & Greed Index stood at 28, placing sentiment in the fear category. The data therefore points to asset-specific weakness, particularly in XRP, rather than a uniform contraction across the entire crypto market. Traders and market observers will likely focus on whether XRP’s relative underperformance persists while the broader market remains stable, though no price outcome can be inferred from the supplied figures.

What this means in naira

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₦104.70M (about $75,904.00), down 0.6% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
