Crypto commentator CryptoSensei has raised concerns about heightened market anxiety among XRP holders, pointing to what he described as a “massive panic sell off” amid a significant reduction in market capitalization.
In a recent post, CryptoSensei highlighted fears among investors as XRP’s market value reportedly fell below $90 billion, down from levels between $140 billion and $180 billion seen previously.
The crypto commentator addressed viewers, asking whether they were buying during the downturn or remaining on the sidelines. He acknowledged that the situation felt uncomfortable for many investors but emphasized that volatility is a recurring feature of the crypto market.
He noted that market participants must be prepared for sudden portfolio declines, describing the current environment as part of the broader cycle experienced across digital assets.

Factors Behind the Market Weakness
CryptoSensei explained that several macroeconomic and regulatory factors may be contributing to the current market behavior. He said uncertainty surrounding the passage of clear cryptocurrency regulation continues to weigh on investor confidence. According to him, a lack of clarity in policy direction often leads to hesitation among institutional and retail participants alike.
CryptoSensei also referenced monetary policy concerns. He mentioned the new Federal Reserve chair appointed by the President of the USA, Donald Trump, who he said appears inclined to maintain higher interest rates for a longer period. The crypto pundit suggested that this outlook, combined with broader economic uncertainty, has created pressure across the crypto sector.
The commentator described the situation as a “mixed bag” of influences, adding that many investors are operating under the assumption that the crypto market follows a four-year cycle.
He said this belief may be intensifying the current panic, with some participants choosing to exit positions as prices decline. At the same time, he acknowledged that others may interpret the downturn as a potential buying opportunity.
Uncertainty About the Market Bottom
CryptoSensei stated that while he believes the market will eventually reach a bottom, identifying the exact level remains difficult. He told viewers that some investors will continue to accumulate assets during the decline, while others may decide to leave the crypto market entirely. He concluded by assuring his audience that he would continue providing updates as conditions develop.

The conversation extended into the replies to the post, where an X user identified as MANGA offered a political interpretation of the situation. The commenter suggested that developments involving Bitcoin and political controversies could negatively affect Bitcoin’s performance and potentially influence the broader crypto market.
According to the user, such developments could temporarily push XRP below $1, which they described as a possible buying opportunity.
CryptoSensei’s message reflects the uncertainty currently present in digital asset markets, where macroeconomic policy, regulatory expectations, and investor sentiment continue to shape price movements and participation levels.
