XRP's price dropped 7.3% to below $1.30, marking a 23% decline from its recent peak near $1.68, amid a Federal Reserve rate hike and a failed Senate vote on the CLARITY Act. Despite strong August gains and record low RSI levels, investor interest waned as prominent investor Royal Kane declined to buy due to XRP's large market cap.

XRP's derivatives open interest also contracted, reflecting cautious market sentiment.
