XRP Price Slips 1.7% Despite New 'earnXRP' Yield Product Launch
XRP's price has fallen 1.7% despite the launch of 'earnXRP', a new DeFi yield product. Analytics firm Santiment notes that current negative social sentiment could be a contrarian signal for a rebound.
A new way to earn income on XRP has arrived, but the market isn't celebrating. The price of the payments-focused cryptocurrency fell 1.7% to $1.8662 on Tuesday, tracking a broader crypto market downturn, even as a new product designed to generate yield for holders was unveiled by Upshift, Clearstar, and Flare.
How 'earnXRP' Simplifies DeFi
The new offering, called 'earnXRP', is a DeFi vault created to allow XRP holders to generate returns without selling their tokens. Users deposit Flare'sFXRP—a 1:1 representation of XRP compliant with Ethereum's ERC-20 standard—into the vault. The capital is then deployed across various DeFi strategies. In exchange, users receive earnXRP, a receipt token representing their share, and the yield is paid out in XRP. This system is designed to bypass the complexities of managing DeFi strategies directly.
Contrarian Signals Amid Negative Sentiment
The muted price reaction comes during a time of year typically marked by low investor participation and thin liquidity, which can lead to erratic price moves. However, analytics firm Santiment suggests the current negative social sentiment could be a contrarian indicator for a potential rebound. According to Santiment, this setup has historically preceded price recoveries. "When retail has doubts about a coin's ability to rise, the rise becomes significantly more likely," the firm stated on X. This points to a potential year-end bounce if the pattern holds.
