XRP was quoted at $1.2841, down 8.01% over the preceding 24 hours, in CoinGecko’s aggregate timestamped 09:00:40 UTC (14:30:40 IST) on September 16, 2026. Four decimal places are shown because rounding immediately to $1.28 would obscure smaller price differences.
The largest decline in this comparison
XRP’s fall exceeded Solana’s 3.58% decline by 4.43 percentage points. Bitcoin was down 1.59% and Ether 2.96%, making XRP the weakest of the four tracked assets in this particular rolling window. That finding does not establish XRP’s rank across the entire cryptocurrency market or identify why it fell.
Reported 24-hour trading volume was approximately $5.89 billion, with market capitalization near $80.71 billion. Their ratio was about 7.29%, the highest among these four snapshots. This measures reported turnover relative to market value, not net capital leaving XRP, unique holders selling, or payment usage.
XRP is distinct from Ripple
The XRP Ledger’s overview identifies XRP as its native digital asset and distinguishes it from Ripple, the technology company. Consequently, a token-price decline is not a move in Ripple shares. The ledger’s payment functions also do not prove that today’s exchange volume came from cross-border transfers.
The Coinbase XRP-USD ticker recorded a last trade of $1.2846 at 09:01:55 UTC. That was about $0.00052, or 0.04%, above the earlier aggregate. This cross-check supports the approximate price level, not CoinGecko’s full 24-hour calculation; the readings are separated in time.
A later update should test whether XRP’s relative weakness persists and consult dated primary evidence before attributing a move to company, legal or payments developments. No such catalyst is asserted here. AI assistance was used for research and arithmetic. Cryptoasset volatility and execution costs remain material risks; this report is not an investment recommendation.
