The post XRP flipped by BNB after $7 billion outflow in a day appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

XRP has slid over the past 24 hours, losing its position as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after being overtaken by BNB amid a broad market sell-off. Specifically, the token’s market cap fell from $120.3 billion to $113.6 billion, marking a $6.7 billion contraction in a single day. XRP one-day market cap chart.

BNB’s market capitalization slipped from $122.58 billion to $118.35 billion over the same period, a decrease of about $4.23 billion.  However, BNB remained ahead of XRP in total valuation despite its price falling 3.5% to $859. Why XRP price is plunging  Notably, XRP’s weakness reflected broader risk-off conditions across crypto markets rather than any token-specific trigger. Trading activity was dominated by liquidity concerns and position unwinding, with selling pressure accelerating near well-defined technical support levels. Although spot XRP ETF inflows into crypto products have remained positive in recent weeks, short-term price action has been driven mainly by technical positioning and reduced risk appetite. The sell-off coincided with a weaker open in U.S. equity markets, which dragged down risk assets more broadly. With year-end liquidity thinning, relatively modest sell orders had an outsized impact, turning incremental declines into sharper moves. Macro uncertainty also resurfaced, limiting the positive impact of the Federal Reserve’s recent 25 basis point rate cut and dampening expectations for a seasonal year-end rally. Additional pressure emerged from renewed scrutiny of crypto activity in China, including reports of mining shutdowns in Xinjiang. While there is no clear evidence of large-scale bitcoin selling tied to these developments, the headlines added to cautious sentiment, reinforcing defensive positioning across major digital assets and leaving XRP more exposed relative to peers like BNB.
