The selloff pushed XRP's market capitalization down to $19.55 billion, or 10.84% of the total cryptocurrency market cap—a significant contraction from its historical high of $79.53 billion.

Bitcoin maintained dominance with a 53.20% market cap share ($95.95 billion), while Ethereum represented 9.66% of total crypto market value at $17.42 billion. This synchronized weakness suggests sector-wide liquidation or macroeconomic headwinds affecting risk sentiment across digital assets.
