Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) highlighted a concerning trend for XRP as net unrealized profits hit a yearly low.
The analyst shared a Glassnode chart showing XRP’s NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss) declining sharply while the price currently hovers around $1.87. This development signals that a significant portion of holders are now underwater on their investments.

Understanding the Chart and NUPL Metrics
The chart shows XRP experiencing a peak in unrealized profits in December, amid a massive rally that began the previous month. Following that strong run in late 2024, XRP’s price briefly surpassed $3, driving high unrealized gains. Over the subsequent months, profit-taking, regulatory concerns, and broader crypto market trends contributed to a downward trajectory.
While the asset’s NUPL saw another resurgence in July when XRP hit its peak price, the overall trend was downward. XRP’s price followed that downward trend, experiencing notable losses in the months following its peak. As a result, NUPL metrics now show a contraction, signaling lower investor confidence in near-term price growth.
The NUPL line has transitioned from green, representing belief and minimal losses, into yellow and orange hues, indicating growing anxiety and hope as prices fall. This shift suggests that many early buyers are holding positions at a loss, while the broader market sentiment edges closer to fear.
Potential Recovery and Opportunities
Despite the current trend, many analysts remain bullish on XRP. Its ecosystem, particularly adoption in cross-border payments, continues to attract interest. Low unrealized profit levels can create entry points for strategic investors.
A shift in sentiment may turn underwater positions into support, helping the price recover. Investors observing these NUPL levels may see an opportunity to buy at a lower risk. Historical patterns suggest that XRP often rebounds after periods of high losses.

Looking Ahead
XRP’s present unrealized profit low highlights both market volatility and potential for recovery. Careful monitoring of technical indicators, regulatory updates, and ecosystem growth is essential. If investor sentiment improves, NUPL can return to positive territory, signaling renewed optimism.
The current period could represent a strategic buying opportunity for long-term holders looking to increase positions ahead of a potential rebound. XRP has demonstrated resilience through previous cycles. Current NUPL readings may be a critical moment for investors considering long-term strategies.
While the market shows pressure, the fundamentals remain strong. Those who act with insight and timing could benefit if XRP regains traction.
