A frustrated XRP supporter criticizes Ripple's leadership as the token's price lags despite the company's recent successes. XRP (XRP) is trading at R$6,8 ($1.25). This is an original Criptano brief based on reporting by CaptainAltcoin, with live market data added, as of Mon, 02 Nov 2026 08:15:01 UTC.

Why it matters

This development highlights the growing disconnect between Ripple's business achievements and the XRP token's price performance, raising questions about investor sentiment and market dynamics.

Key takeaways
  • XRP supporter expresses frustration over token's stagnant price despite Ripple's business wins.
  • Ripple has secured multiple business victories in 2026, yet XRP struggles to gain momentum.
  • Current XRP price is $1.25, with a 7-day decline of 3.20%.

Despite Ripple's series of business victories in 2026, the XRP community is expressing growing frustration over the token's stagnant price. This sentiment was prominently displayed in an emotional message from XRP supporter Fabrizio Scudu, who directed criticism at Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and CTO emeritus David Schwartz.

Scudu's message underscores a key issue: the disconnect between Ripple's corporate achievements and the performance of its native token, XRP. While Ripple has secured multiple high-profile partnerships and regulatory wins, these developments have not translated into significant price gains for XRP.

Currently, XRP is trading at $1.25, marking a 0.20% decline over the past 24 hours and a 3.20% drop over the past week. This price action contrasts with the overall crypto market, which has remained relatively flat, with Bitcoin showing a modest 0.29% gain in the same period.

The broader market context shows a total crypto market cap of $2.69 trillion, with a Fear & Greed index of 37, indicating a sentiment of 'Fear.' This suggests that while the overall market is not in a state of panic, investor sentiment remains cautious.

The situation raises important questions about the factors driving XRP's price and the expectations of its community. As Ripple continues to expand its business operations, the disparity between corporate success and token performance may become a focal point for further discussion and analysis.

What this means in real

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ R$6.71 (about $1.25), down 0.1% over 24 hours. The real itself trades about 1.3% below the official rate on the P2P market, so a Brazilian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
