Social sentiment around XRP has hit a five-week high, outpacing both Bitcoin and Ethereum, according to analytics firm Santiment.
The Positive/Negative Sentiment indicator for XRP reached 2.35 over the past five days. A value above 1 shows that bullish mentions outnumber bearish ones. In comparison, Bitcoin sits near 1.05 and Ethereum at 1.4, showing far less social excitement.
XRP was trading near $1.42 with roughly $2.22 billion in 24-hour trading volume. Analysts say the social optimism comes despite recent price struggles in XRP and a broader crypto market losing momentum.
Santiment explained that its system scans crypto posts and threads using machine learning to classify comments as positive or negative. XRP’s recent surge reflects a wave of bullish commentary following announcements of new partnerships.
Bitcoin and Ethereum, by contrast, have seen muted social attention. Santiment notes that fewer bullish comments suggest weaker market enthusiasm for the two largest cryptocurrencies.
Historically, social sentiment doesn’t always match price moves. Santiment points out that crypto markets often move contrary to popular expectations, meaning BTC and ETH could be better positioned for a rebound despite lower social buzz.
XRP remains the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, and its rising social chatter highlights investor interest, even if short-term price gains remain uncertain.
The social data underscores a growing divergence between XRP’s community optimism and the wider crypto market’s cautious mood.
