XRP’s Price Volatility Hits Rock Bottom – Quietest Since Trump’s 2016 Win. Is a Storm Brewing?

XRP just flatlined harder than a Wall Street intern after bonus season. The crypto's volatility cratered to levels unseen since November 2016 – back when markets were shocked by an orange-hued political upset.

The calm before the storm?

Traders are eyeing the charts like hawks. This eerie stability either signals institutional adoption... or a coiled spring waiting to snap. With Ripple's legal battles fading, the 'banker coin' might finally be growing up – or preparing for its most dramatic mood swing yet.

Volatility vacations never last

History screams one truth: crypto never stays quiet for long. Whether XRP's next move rockets toward $2 or craters below $0.30, one thing's certain – the suits will still charge 2% management fees either way.

What next?

Volatility is mean-reverting, which means that, over time, it tends to fluctuate around its long-term average. In other words, a sharp rise in volatility often paves the way for consolidation, and a prolonged drop in volatility usually sets the stage for strong directional trends.

That said, the 30-day realized volatility is still well above the 15% to 30% range, which has marked volatility bottoms and renewed price turbulence since 2014.
