XRP, a digital asset associated with Ripple, is experiencing a significant decrease in value in line with the overall trend in the cryptocurrency sector. Recently, XRP hit a new low of $0.4486, showing a 7% drop in just 24 hours from its previous high. This decline compounds the ongoing struggles of XRP, especially evident in its negative growth of 26% year-to-date.

Amidst this downward trajectory, legal expert Bill Morgan, known for his support of XRP, made a sarcastic comment regarding the continued price decline. Morgan emphasized that despite the extended period of XRP's price reduction, it should not be a reason to overlook the broader market correction that is currently taking place.

This downward spiral in XRP's value contrasts starkly with the performance of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, highlighting XRP's lag in the market despite positive sentiments towards digital assets.
