Realized price is widely used as an on-chain proxy for holders&#8217; aggregate cost basis.<\/p>\n<p>When spot trades below that level, the average holder is underwater. That condition often changes the behavior of rallies, turning them into opportunities to repair the balance sheet.<\/p>\n<p>For XRP, that cost-basis gap has become central to the market\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n<p>With spot XRP trading around $1.35 and a realized price of around $1.44, the token remains below the level at which the broader holder base begins to move back toward profitability. That places the next meaningful recovery zone directly in an area where selling pressure can build.<\/p>\n<p>Other on-chain indicators support the same picture. Glassnode\u2019s Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) remains below 1, indicating that coins moving on-chain are being spent at a loss on average.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, XRP&#8217;s Net Unrealized Profit and Loss (NUPL) is also negative, indicating that the market as a whole remains in aggregate loss territory.<\/p>\n<p>Taken together, those readings point to a market that has yet to move out of its loss regime.<\/p>\n<p>However, these readings do not mean XRP price cannot rally. Instead, it shows that the hurdle for a sustained rally is higher.<\/p>\n<p>This means that XRP needs sufficient new demand to clear a sizable block of supply held by holders who have been waiting for better exit levels. Until that happens, the realized-price band is likely to remain a reference point for both bulls and bears.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed__media\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/xrp-supply-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Why 26.5 billion XRP tokens are now sitting at a loss despite a $2 price tag\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazyload\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/xrp-supply-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Why 26.5 billion XRP tokens are now sitting at a loss despite a $2 price tag\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\"> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Why 26.5 billion XRP tokens are now sitting at a loss despite a $2 price tag<\/h3>\n<p class=\"cs-article-embed__summary\">XRP struggles as profit realization by holders accelerates 240%, yet institutional inflows hint at possible stability ahead.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__meta-item\">Nov 19, 2025<\/span> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__meta-divider\">\u00b7<\/span> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__meta-item\">Oluwapelumi Adejumo<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Sell-side aggression is showing up across order flow and derivatives<\/h2>\n<p>The institutional picture has also become less supportive of any uptrend for XRP.<\/p>\n<p>Data from SoSoValue shows spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) products recorded their third weekly outflow of the year in the week ending March 6, with about $5 million leaving the funds.<\/p>\n<p>Those products still show about $70 million in net inflows for the year, though the shift in recent weeks suggests some allocators have become more selective amid rising volatility across markets.<\/p>\n<p>For context, CoinShares data shows XRP-focused investment products are the worst-performing this month, with over $30 million in outflows.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_523078\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-523078\" style=\"width: 936px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-523078\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-09-142509.jpg\" alt=\"Crypto Investment Products Flows\" width=\"936\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-09-142509.jpg 936w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-09-142509-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-09-142509-768x498.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-523078\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-09-142509.jpg\" alt=\"Crypto Investment Products Flows\" width=\"936\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-09-142509.jpg 936w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-09-142509-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-09-142509-768x498.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-523078\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crypto Investment Products Flows (Source: CoinShares)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The flow picture shows a marginal pullback rather than a collapse.
