Friday saw crypto's worst liquidation as a crazy volatility bout ripped through the market, triggering one of the largest declines in prices of XRP, BTC, ETH and other digital assets seen all year.
XRP fell as much as 42% in Friday’s session, its sharpest one-day drop in the recent year. The sell-off drove XRP's price as low as $1.77 from a high of $2.83 before slightly rebounding.
The price of XRP steadily declined from a high of $3.10 on Oct. 2. Although the drop was punctuated with slight rises, bears gained an upper hand on Friday, crashing XRP's price to a low of $1.77, last seen in April 2025. As reported, multiple death cross signals had appeared on XRP's short-term charts (the one-, two-, three- and four-hour charts), preceding the massive drop.

Coinbase director, Conor Grogan, stated that the recent market drop marks the "worst altcoin flashcrash" he has ever seen across the board.

Volatility is part of the journey. So if you can't stomach it it's ok to step back for a bit.

Amid the market volatility, Ethena's USDE, BNSOL and WBETH saw a price depeg, which caused forced liquidations in positions.
