Shiba Inu's price advance is struggling as about 81.5 trillion SHIB remain on exchanges, keeping strong sell pressure in place. Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin has removed 500,000 tokens from circulation via an on-chain burn, while Cardano-based NIGHT has posted 24-hour trading volume of roughly $4 billion after its Dec. 8 launch. These moves highlight contrasting supply and trading dynamics across major altcoins in the current market.

On December 22, 2025, Flare launched earnXRP, an XRP-denominated yield vault that uses FXRP and is built on Upshift’s infrastructure with a strategy curated by Clearstar Labs. The product deploys FXRP across multiple on-chain smart contracts, combining carry trades, staking via Firelight, and concentrated AMM liquidity to generate return. Users receive earnXRP tokens when they deposit FXRP and later burn them to withdraw compounded XRP back to self-custodial wallets.

XRP has dropped into Santiment's "fear zone," where strongly negative social sentiment has often appeared near local price bottoms. While trading around the $1.83–$1.87 support band, XRP is showing stabilizing price action and small higher lows on the 12-hour chart. On-chain and technical indicators such as CMF suggest selling pressure is easing and that capital may be starting to flow back into the market, increasing the odds of a near-term bounce.

XRP is trading near $1.92 after recovering the $1.80 support and holding above $1.90. Analysts cite either a double-bottom toward $2.3–$2.5 or a double-top risk that would put $1.77 and $0.8 back in play. The token's 24-hour volume is $2.24 billion, and it has declined over 1% daily and almost 4% weekly.

Dogecoin is stabilizing around $0.13 after modest 24-hour gains, while still underperforming on a weekly view. Momentum signals, including a daily RSI in the mid-40s and a flattening MACD, suggest selling pressure is easing. A 2-hour inverse head-and-shoulders near $0.13 puts $0.14–$0.15 in focus if the $0.12–$0.13 support range remains intact.

Shiba Inu is signaling a potential rebound as its hourly chart approaches a golden cross, with the 9-day and 26-day moving averages nearing convergence around $0.000007271. SHIB trades near $0.000007328 with a modest 0.38% daily gain, while 24-hour volume has climbed to $93.52 million amid ongoing volatility below the $0.00001 level and inconsistent token burns. Despite recent supply reductions via dead wallets, persistent sell-offs and bearish sentiment suggest a sustained rally may be difficult without a stronger catalyst from the current technical setup.

On 18 December, a coalition of over 125 crypto firms and advocacy groups urged the US Senate Banking Committee to oppose expanding the GENIUS Act, challenging banking lobby efforts to limit stablecoin returns. Banks, in Capitol Hill briefings, warned of up to $6.6 trillion in deposits shifting to digital platforms. Companies named include Coinbase, Gemini and Kraken.

CoinShares' latest weekly report shows XRP-based products attracting $62.9 million of inflows, a 34% increase from the prior week's $46.9 million and the largest positive figure among major assets. Over the same period, digital asset investment products recorded $952 million in outflows, with Bitcoin and Ethereum bearing the brunt, while U.S. XRP spot ETFs added $13.21 million in net inflows on Dec. 19 and pushed cumulative net inflows to $1.07 billion. XRP's price hovered around $1.93 on Monday, as institutions continued shifting capital away from Bitcoin and Ethereum toward XRP exposure.
