XRP registered one of its strongest network-growth bursts of the year, with Santiment reporting 4,300 new wallets created in 24 hours, the fourth-largest spike of 2026. The analytics firm said the move matters because “network growth is among the top leading signals to identify reversals,” placing the wallet surge alongside a set of on-chain metrics that suggest XRP is trading in a lower-risk zone than usual. Santiment Points To Undervalued Setup For XRP The data point was also shared by Santiment’s Brian Quinlivan in yesterday’s livestream. The XRP segment stood out for a combination of fresh wallet creation, depressed profitability metrics and relatively subdued crowd sentiment. Quinlivan said XRP’s MVRV setup looked “pretty similar to Ethereum,” but with an even deeper long-term drawdown among active holders. According to the Santiment data cited during the livestream, XRP’s 365-day MVRV sat around negative 35.12%, while its 30-day MVRV had slipped back into negative territory at roughly negative 3%.

He was more forceful on the long-term figure, noting that readings below negative 30% tend to mark a point where the average active holder has already absorbed substantial losses. “Anything below 30, no matter what asset you’re looking at, that’s something that should provide confidence in your investment because you have something that quantifies how much blood in the streets there is,” he said. “You can buy knowing that your fellow peers that you’re trading against, you’re not on the same team just because they’re investing in the same asset. You’re buying when those fellow peers have already experienced immense losses that you haven’t because you’d be opening a fresh new entry into XRP.” Related Reading: XRP Declines 8%, But Whales Scoop Up 71 Million Tokens Sentiment data added another layer to the setup. Brian said XRP’s social tone had been “pretty up and down lately,” but leaned more negative than usual, which Santiment typically treats as constructive from a contrarian perspective. The asset was showing about 1.7 bullish comments for every bearish comment, a level that may sound elevated in isolation but is below XRP’s usual social baseline, which Brian said tends to run closer to a 2-to-1 bullish ratio. Outside of one outlier around May 14, he said XRP sentiment had remained below its typical average for roughly the prior 10 days. That matters because, in Santiment’s framework, overheated bullishness often appears closer to local tops, while apathy or frustration can emerge near more attractive entries. The livestream also framed XRP within a softer altcoin environment. Brian noted that many assets have faced negative sentiment because they failed to follow Bitcoin into a more convincing rally. He pointed to the way market attention around specific integrations or partnerships can fade quickly if price does not respond, referencing XRP-related hype around a Rakuten partnership roughly a month earlier as an example of how narratives can lose traction without confirmation from the market. At press time, XRP traded at $1.36. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Michael Saylor is calling $60,000 Bitcoin’s floor. The Strategy co-founder made the claim during a Thursday appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, saying the asset is now entering what he described as a “spring phase” — backed by solid support levels and a favorable broader market environment. Related Reading: Zcash Soars 88% In 30 Days: Is ZEC The Stealth Winner Of This Crypto Cycle? A Target Built On Bold Math Saylor’s confidence ties back to a specific projection he has held for some time: a 30% average annual return for Bitcoin. That number forms the backbone of his prediction that Bitcoin will hit $13 million by 2045, a figure he arrived at by modeling a 29% yearly return sustained over roughly 19 years. Among the forces he expects to drive that growth are institutional adoption, government-level treasury strategy, and Bitcoin’s fixed supply — factors he believes will pull capital away from gold and traditional financial markets. $MSTR Co-Founder @saylor explains why he thinks $BTC will outperform the S&P 500 over time:https://t.co/REOnScJVPZ — Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC) May 21, 2026 The S&P 500, one of the most closely watched benchmarks in global finance, tracks 500 of the largest publicly traded companies in the US. It has delivered an average annual return of around 10%, making it a reliable standby for investors who want steady, long-term growth. Saylor is betting Bitcoin can do triple that — a claim he repeated plainly on Squawk Box: “We expect 30%.” Numbers Tell A Complicated Story The current numbers don’t immediately support his case. As of the time of his interview, Bitcoin was down 12% for the year while the S&P 500 had gained 8%, according to Google Finance. Saylor has long maintained that short-term swings don’t define Bitcoin’s trajectory, and he reiterated that position Thursday, pointing instead to what he sees as a building wave of regulatory and institutional support. Among the specific developments he cited was the CLARITY Act, which cleared the US Senate Banking Committee last week with bipartisan support after months of delays. He also pointed to upcoming innovation exemption guidelines from the US Securities and Exchange Commission aimed at allowing securities tokenization on crypto networks, calling it a potentially major development for the industry. Related Reading: Analyst Warns XRP Could ‘Shake Out’ Traders Before Major Breakout Looking Ahead To A Bigger Market Share Saylor has made similar predictions before. Earlier this year, he said Bitcoin would double or triple the S&P 500’s returns over the next four to eight years. His longer-range view sees Bitcoin eventually overtaking gold in total market value by 2035, pulling in fresh capital that was previously locked in conventional assets.
