XRP Whale Inflows to Exchanges Drop to Four-Year Low as ETFs Keep Drawing Cash

Lower exchange deposits by big holders point to fading near-term sell pressure.

Overview

  • On-chain trackers show 30-day large-holder transfers to Binance have fallen to about 736 million XRP from 2.6 billion in March, the lowest since November 2021, which signals less immediate supply heading to market.
  • XRP trades near $1.41 after a roughly 30% rebound from February’s ~$1.11 low, with price stuck in a tight $1.40–$1.42 band and still below major moving averages.
  • U.S. spot funds that hold XRP took in $81.6 million in April and another $28.17 million in the first week of May, bringing total assets to about $1.43 billion, with UBS disclosed as an investor in the Grayscale product.
  • Traders are watching a push above roughly $1.45–$1.47 for a bullish break noted by several analysts, while a drop under about $1.33 could open a slide toward ~$0.93.
  • This mix of thinner sell flow from whales and steady institutional demand creates a compressed setup where a clean move out of the range could travel fast, which matters for everyday holders who can face sharp swings once the market picks a direction.
