DTCC Collateral Eligibility List Sparks XRP "Delisting" Fears, Explained With Key Dates

A DTCC collateral eligibility update circulating on social media triggered "delisting" fears around Ripple's XRP, prompting a retail rotation into XLM and pushing XRP below $1.30. The DTCC lists are described as post-trade collateral reference tools rather than instructions to exchanges, and the sell-off was framed as FUD-driven capitulation. On-chain data showed $900 million in weekly realized losses at the peak of the panic, the largest spike since 2022.
