XRP News Today: XRP TON Outperform in Crypto Downturn Amid BTC Slide

Despite a broad downturn in the cryptocurrency market over the weekend, a handful of altcoins demonstrated unexpected resilience. XRP, TON, TOSHI, XCN, and XMR remained relatively stable or even posted gains, contrasting with the sharp declines seen in Bitcoin and other major assets [1]. This divergence has sparked investor interest in understanding the factors behind these coins' performance.

XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has maintained its position near key support levels. The token’s price movement has remained within a defined range, resisting the broader market selloff [1]. Analysts have highlighted the historical significance of XRP’s current price zone, noting its role as a critical area that once triggered a major collapse in 2017. Since breaking out in 2024, this level has become a key support-resistance zone, now representing a potential gateway to new highs [1].

Similarly, Toncoin (TON) has exhibited strong stability. The token’s trading volume has remained consistent, with no erratic price swings observed over the weekend [1]. TON has also seen growing ecosystem development, which some observers suggest has contributed to its relative insulation from the broader downturn. Its 7% rise in the last 24 hours and a surge in trading volume to $584.94 million indicate renewed attention from traders [3].

Meme token Toshi (TOSHI) also bucked the trend, posting a rare gain in a market dominated by losses. Unlike other meme coins that typically follow the broader sentiment, Toshi’s performance was unexpectedly robust. While its long-term potential remains uncertain, its short-term stability is notable [1].

Onyxcoin (XCN), a less frequently discussed asset, showed consistent price behavior, trading within a narrow range without experiencing the heavy outflows or liquidations seen in many other altcoins. Its performance was neither accompanied by increased trading volume nor by significant exchange outflows, suggesting a degree of independence from the broader market [1].

Monero (XMR) also stood out, avoiding the sharp selloffs affecting other top privacy tokens. The asset’s price fluctuated within a narrow band, maintaining an average volume and no extreme downward movements. XMR is currently retesting its multi-year support zone around $290–$320, a level that could signal a potential bullish turn if it holds firm [1].

The weekend’s market dynamics highlighted a key divergence between major cryptocurrencies and certain altcoins. While Bitcoin and others fell under pressure from macroeconomic factors and regulatory uncertainty, XRP, TON, and others showed resilience, suggesting that market sentiment is not uniformly bearish [2]. These performances may reflect a growing appetite for assets with more stable use cases or stronger liquidity, even in volatile environments [1].
