XRP slid to $2.00 after a September $3.00 test; funding, whales and ETFs shape rebound

Ripple's XRP fell from the $3.00 area in late September to the $2.00 demand zone as the OI‑weighted funding rate turned negative. Whale activity rose with 1,389 transactions above $100,000 and 78,727 active addresses in eight hours, while November's XRP ETFs reached $1 billion AUM. These shifts support a recovery toward $2.80–$3.00.
