According to The Defiant, XRP dropped 24% over four weeks, lagging behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. Its 7-day decline reached 18.3%, compared to a 5.7% drop for Bitcoin over the same period. The report also noted that stolen XRP continues to be converted into Bitcoin. The aforementioned figures represent market statistics across different time windows at the time of reporting; the 7-day and 4-week declines should not be conflated, nor should they be used alone to determine the reasons for the price changes.
