XRP Price Faces Decline in Oct With 11% Dip

XRP price had a significant drop in its monthly return for the month, rather than the significant surge that was anticipated for the altcoin in October.

The extreme consolidations that occurred during the month of October have caused the XRP price to fall short of the high optimistic expectations for the month. According to data from the crypto analytics platform CryptoRank, the top altcoin's monthly returns for October have decreased by 10.8%.

According to the source's data as of October 31st, XRP price was unable to recoup its losses during the frequent, intense consolidations that occurred in the middle of the month. Even though it had made a respectable comeback as the month was coming to an end, XRP was still unable to generate any profit for its October 2025 returns.

October Was the Worst Month For the XRP Price Since 2025

XRP has let bulls down, ending October with a 10.8% fall, despite getting off to a strong start at the beginning of the month with huge daily gains that boosted hopes for a robust Uptober rally.

After this significant monthly drop, the altcoin ended up recording its worst monthly performance since April during the anticipated Uptober surge. Surprisingly, XRP had a fluctuating but generally positive year, recording major increases in five of the previous nine months, before the dramatic October dip.

Although XRP price saw robust performance for the majority of 2025, the drop is a stark contrast to the 35% surge that occurred in July. The asset's slide was only worse in February 2025, when it fell by almost 29.3%. The hopes of hopeful investors were dashed by this October fall, which was the worst performance XRP has experienced since February.

Bulls Express Optimism in November

Because of the excitement surrounding the launch of the XRP ETF and significant advancements from Ripple that have sparked new interest in the asset, XRP is still one of 2025's top altcoins, even with the October drawdown.

XRP traders think that all hopes are not lost and that XRP could surpass their expectations in the upcoming month, even though the data also reveals that XRP is still up considerably year-to-date after an outstanding first-quarter performance that witnessed gains of over 46% in January alone. The XRP community anticipates that the asset will surpass forecasts at this time, providing notable increases for its November returns, as the first U.S. spot XRP ETF is set to launch in November.
