XRP (XRP)

Cvj.ai reports that media personality Alex Jones has warned XRP holders that governments may seize private assets during a financial collapse. Jones clarified that he is not an XRP expert and is not predicting the cryptocurrency's price. He suggested that authorities like the FDIC and European regulators could impair private financial assets during a banking crisis.
Jones stated that the establishment will attempt to grab cryptocurrencies, bank accounts, and houses as the system faces pressure. He emphasized that his comments are not an attack on XRP or Bitcoin, describing both as great. His warning references existing bank-resolution frameworks in the US and EU that allow authorities to take over assets.
Jones noted that while the future is uncertain, the conversation around asset seizure cannot be ignored. He stressed that he is not involved in the market and does not consider himself an expert on the asset. The comments highlight broader anxieties about government overreach and the fragility of the current financial system.
This narrative adds to the scrutiny facing XRP alongside other major assets like BNB and UNI. Investors remain wary of regulatory actions and macroeconomic pressures amid renewed market volatility.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 6 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is trading at $1.41 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 56.1%, indicating that buyers are currently dominating short-term spot activity. However, this bullish sentiment fades over longer timeframes, with the 4-hour buy ratio dropping to 47.1% and the 24-hour ratio settling at 49.8%. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing a net inflow of $290,812 in the last hour compared to a net outflow of $987,879 over four hours. Over the full day, the volume delta is negative at -$418,904, with cumulative selling pressure reaching -$2,268,615 by close. The buy ratio measures the proportion of buy volume relative to total volume, while volume delta tracks the net difference between buy and sell volume. These figures suggest that while immediate buying pressure is present, it is not sustaining across the broader trading day.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 83rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.5% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XRP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 50.4%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 49.8% slightly below the weekly norm by 0.5 points. Daily volume was recorded at 0.63x the average, indicating a notably quieter trading day compared to the previous week's activity. Net buying occurred on 4 of the last 7 days, with a total volume delta of +$8,298,559 for the period. Compared to the daily spot volume of $104,518,243, the weekly average activity suggests this is an ordinary day for the coin. The price change over eight days was +1.1%, showing minimal movement despite the weekly net buying of over $8 million.
