The clarification process for regulation hits setbacks, and market sentiment quickly cools: $XRP fell 10.3%, and $XLM dropped 9.9%; payment-related tokens have become the main focus of this round of selling pressure.
This is not a case of one individual coin weakening on its own, but rather capital is repricing policy expectations. Popular assets such as Cardano and Ondo are under simultaneous pressure, indicating that overall risk appetite for high-risk assets is declining. Gains built earlier on “compliance-positive” news often reverse quickly and sharply once the information cycle repeats.
In the short term, focus on two things: whether after the drop the price can stabilize near key support with reduced volume; and whether, during a rebound, capital is willing to return to the sector’s leading players. If volume is insufficient, any bounce is more likely to be treated as a de-risking (position-reduction) window rather than a trend restart. Leverage positions still need to be strictly controlled—don’t take regulatory expectations as certainty.
