One big $XRP holder just saw their portfolio crash from $26M to $18M in only a month — and they’ve finally thrown in the towel, blaming “market manipulation” timed perfectly with Ripple’s Swell 2025 conference.

It’s been a rough ride. The investor, known online as TheXRPguy, claims the dump was deliberate — calling it “market manipulation at its finest.” What hurts even more? The crash happened right when Swell was supposed to be bullish news for #XRP . Instead, the chart turned into a nightmare.

👉 Here’s What the Chart Shows:

Early crash: Started near $26M, then quickly dropped below $22M.

Fake recoveries: A couple of mid-month bounces back to $24M — but every rally got rejected hard.

Final pain: Ended the month around $18–19M, a brutal 31% loss.

Swell timing: The steepest drop hit exactly during the Ripple Swell conference, fueling suspicions of coordinated selling.

👉 Manipulation or Just Typical Crypto Volatility?

Hard to prove anything, but XRP has a history of this: price pumps before Swell, then dumps right after — the classic “buy the rumor, sell the news.”

On top of that, XRP’s also feeling pressure from:

Bitcoin stuck under $100K,

money rotating into AI and DeFi tokens,

and continued regulatory uncertainty.

Add in some liquidations from over-leveraged traders, and it’s no surprise we saw carnage.

TheXRPguy summed it up perfectly:

> “Only the mentally strong can process this.”

It shows how brutal crypto can be — even for millionaires. Panic-selling near the bottom usually locks in losses
 but it might also mark the point where smart money starts buying again.

Whether XRP bounces or keeps bleeding, this whale’s $8M loss is a harsh reminder: crypto rewards patience, not panic.
