XRP Fails to Meet Bullish Expectations in October Amid Severe Consolidations
XRP has fallen short of the strong bullish expectations for October, experiencing significant consolidations throughout the month. According to data from crypto analytics platform CryptoRank, the leading altcoin recorded a 10.8% decline in its monthly returns for October. As of October 31st, XRP had yet to recover the losses incurred amid recurring periods of intense consolidation during mid-October.
Although XRP showed a decent resurgence toward the end of the month, it was unable to generate any gains for its October 2025 returns.
### XRP Posts Worst Monthly Performance Since Mid-2025
Despite starting October on a positive note with massive daily gains fueling optimism for a strong “Uptober” rally, XRP ultimately disappointed bulls by closing the month down 10.8%. This decline marked the altcoin’s worst monthly performance since April 2025.
What’s particularly striking is that October’s drop came after a volatile yet largely positive year for XRP. The asset had recorded significant gains in five of the previous nine months. The October decline sharply contrasts with July’s impressive 35% rally. In fact, the only worse monthly decline since then was in February 2025, when XRP dropped about 29.3%. Since that February downturn, the October loss represents the most substantial negative performance, dealing a blow to optimistic investors’ hopes.
### XRP Bulls Shift Optimism to November
Despite the setback in October, XRP remains one of 2025’s better-performing leading altcoins, buoyed by hype around the anticipated XRP ETF launch and major developments from Ripple that have reignited interest in the asset.
Year-to-date data further shows that XRP is still significantly up, following an impressive first-quarter performance that included gains of over 46% in January alone. Many XRP traders believe that all is not lost and are hopeful the asset will surpass expectations in the coming month.
With the XRP community eagerly awaiting the launch of the first U.S. spot XRP ETF in November, expectations are high that the asset will outperform projections and deliver significant gains during the period.
