U.Today reports that 
XRP has declined by nearly 8% against 
Bitcoin over the past week during an ongoing cryptocurrency market downturn. The relative figure is consistent with the supplied seven-day prices: XRP fell 12.97%, compared with a 5.15% decline for Bitcoin, producing roughly 8.2 percentage points of underperformance.
The broader market context is also negative. Bitcoin trades at $74,117, down 2.18% over 24 hours, while XRP is priced at $1.088 and has dropped 6.47% over the same period. XRP’s market capitalization is $69.1 billion, compared with Bitcoin’s $1.49 trillion.
Total crypto market capitalization is $2.54 trillion, with the overall market broadly lower. The Fear & Greed index stands at 29, placing sentiment in the Fear category. Bitcoin remains the larger asset by market capitalization, but its smaller seven-day loss meant XRP declined considerably more on a relative basis.
The available coverage comes only from U.Today and does not provide additional figures, causes, or market-structure details. Its central claim is supported by the live price data: the gap between XRP’s and Bitcoin’s seven-day percentage declines is about 8.2 percentage points, close to the reported nearly 8% relative collapse.
The immediate issue to monitor is whether XRP’s relative performance continues to lag Bitcoin while sentiment remains fearful and the broader market stays under pressure. The supplied data does not establish a specific price threshold or forecast an outcome, but it shows simultaneous losses across Bitcoin, XRP, and the wider crypto market.
