XRP News: Reflecting on the Red Monday Price Crash

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here with my ballpoint pen in hand, looking back at the XRP news from one of the most volatile days in our history while I prep for the next era of the XRP Ledger. It is October 2026, and the market feels so different now, but I still get chills when I flip back to Crypto Diary #40. That specific page was born during the chaos of January 27, 2025, a day I vividly remember as the Red Monday where global markets were reeling from Deepseek headlines and yen fluctuations. On that day, the XRP price was sitting at a precise 2.96 dollars, while Bitcoin was struggling to hold onto the 100k level at 100,945 dollars. The Fear and Greed index was at 55, showing a market that was completely undecided—caught in that weird Limbo between optimism and pure panic. I remember the ink flowing onto the paper as I captured those numbers, feeling the weight of the red candles through my neon markers. It was a raw moment for the Ripple community, yet it is exactly these moments of tension that make this hand-drawn collection so vital. Today, we see the XRPL growing faster than ever, with more utility and institutional interest than we dreamed of back in early 2025. People are constantly searching for XRP news to see where the next breakout will lead, but I find the most value in looking at where we have been. My mission with the Crypto Diary has always been to document this journey through human eyes, rejecting the flood of AI-slop that has taken over the internet. There is a soul in a physical drawing that a machine just cannot replicate, especially when recording the history of the XRP Ledger. As BiTi Artist, I am committed to building the biggest and most recognized NFT collection in the world, one page at a time. Every stroke of the pen on Crypto Diary #40 represents a real human reaction to the market. Whether the XRP price is flying or bleeding, it is all part of the story we are writing together on the blockchain. You can find this specific piece of history and follow the rest of my hand-drawn journey by visiting the collection at xrp.cafe.
