According to recent reports, XRP slid about 15% after peaking at $3.66 on July 18, wiping out roughly $2.4 billion in open futures positions. That sharp drop has traders debating whether to hunker down or scoop up XRP near the $2.60 mark. Rally Driven By Big Bets XRP’s surge from $2.17 on July 1 to $3.66 by July 18 was powered by a surge in open interest that peaked at $11.2 billion in dollar terms. That means a lot of traders had large positions riding the upswing. Related Reading: Countdown To August 15: What XRP Investors Need To Know Since then, open interest has fallen to $8.8 billion, a 20% drop in US dollar value. In XRP units, contracts fell 10% to 2.80 billion. Liquidations of roughly $325 million over the two weeks ending July 25 show some of those big bets were wiped out. Futures Traders Hold Steady Annualized futures premiums for monthly XRP contracts have stayed in a 6% to 8% range. That suggests traders aren’t panicking even after the price dipped below $3. Short‑term swings didn’t spark a rush into bullish bets when XRP briefly rose past $3.60, slowing the risk of more forced exits. The calm premium levels hint that professional players remain cautious but not overly concerned. Growing chatter about a US spot ETF for XRP has added to the mix. Ether products crossed $18 billion in assets under management, so some expect a similar boost if a spot‑XRP ETF wins approval. But approvals can take many months, and nothing is certain. Rumors about banks or a tie‑up with SWIFT have popped up online without proof. Traders know that hype only lasts so long when there’s no real deal. On‑Ledger Activity Trails Peers DeFi use on the XRP Ledger is still small. According to RWA.xyz data, just $134 million of tokenized assets sit on the network, compared with $190 million on Avalanche. Decentralized exchange volume barely makes the top 50 chains. DefiLlama shows Sui recorded $13 billion in 30‑day DEX trading, and Sei handled $1.43 billion. Those gaps show that XRP’s on‑chain tools haven’t drawn the same crowd as rival networks. Related Reading: Bitcoin Ain’t ‘Better’, ADA Is, Cardano Founder Says Looking ahead, clear growth in real‑world use could help XRP break out of its current $3.00–$3.15 range. For now, traders are watching both price action and on‑chain metrics. It may take fresh catalysts beyond ETF hopes to drive sustained gains. Until then, the market could stay choppy and reactive to any big swings in open interest. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

A large number of token unlocks are expected to hit the altcoin market this week, and Dogecoin is one of those with the most notable unlocks happening this week. With the uncertainty in the market, token unlocks like these could affect the Dogecoin price. However, with deep liquidity, there is a high possibility that the meme coin is able to absorb this massive unlock without much effect. Large Dogecoin Unlock To Hit The Market In an X post, Wu Blockchain reported that there are a number of single token unlocks that are set to go live in the altcoin market over seven days. However, the ones of concern are the linear unlocks that will continue into the first week of August, putting hundreds of millions of dollars into the market. Related Reading: XRP Won’t See Devastating Pullback Because ‘The Train Has Left The Station’ One of the major unlocks shown was for Dogecoin, which is supposed to see approximately 95.5 million DOGE tokens added to its supply. Going by the current supply, this would be an additional 0.06% added to the circulating supply. At the current market price, this would be around $22.9 million worth of tokens being added. Naturally, token unlocks can impact the price of a digital asset, and Dogecoin is no different. However, looking at the daily trading volume of the cryptocurrency, which is in the billions of dollars, as well as the deep liquidity across major crypto exchanges, it is likely that the DOGE market will absorb this new supply without much fuss. Additionally, not all of the 95 million tokens will be sent into circulation at once. Given that it’s a linear unlock, meaning the coins will be released into circulation in smaller batches, it is much easier for the market to absorb the supply without any negative impact to the Dogecoin price. Other Tokens Being Unlocked While the Dogecoin token unlock is significant, it is not the largest token unlock expected to happen this week. The crown goes to Solana, which is expected to see 465,770 tokens unlocked. This stash is worth a staggering $87 million and translates to 0.09% of the total supply. Related Reading: The Days Of Parabolic Bitcoin Bull Runs Are Over: Analyst Reveals How BTC Will Reach $1,000,000 Next on the list is the TRUMP token at 4.89 million tokens worth $50.13 million. This accounts for 1.67% of the total supply. Then, it is followed by Worldcoin (WLD), with an expected 37.23 million tokens to be unlocked, worth $44.67 million, and translates to 2.16% of the total supply. Other major unlocks include TAO with 50,400 tokens worth $21.49 million. There’s also Avalanche (AVAX) with 700,000 tokens worth $18.07 million, and Celestia (TIA) with 6.96 million tokens worth $14.20 million. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
