On-chain data indicates that XRP exchange reserves have fallen dramatically, a trend often viewed as bullish and typically associated with long-term accumulation by large holders.
XRP Supply Shock Brewing?
Something unusual is unfolding in the XRP market as the amount of XRP held across major exchanges, including Binance, has declined to 2,748,007,351 as of today, signaling potential accumulation activity from larger holders and strengthening the case that the asset could be entering a potential “supply shock” scenario.
According to CryptoQuant data, this marks a notable decline from the previous day’s 2,761,849,617 XRP, as selling pressure appears to be easing—fueling expectations that the asset could be positioning for a potential upside move.
The bullish shift in exchange balances comes as XRP posts a modest 0.6% gain over the past 24 hours, lifting its price back above the $1.37 threshold, per CoinGecko data.
With this kind of exchange flow, XRP’s gradual price uptick over the past 24 hours is not entirely unexpected, as sharp declines in exchange reserves—particularly for XRP—often indicate that holders are moving tokens into private wallets.
 
Unlike inflows back into exchanges, such withdrawals are commonly interpreted as a sign of accumulation, potentially setting the stage for further upside and opening the door to a move toward the highly-anticipated $2.
Further strengthening the bullish case for XRP are rising institutional inflows, which add to the narrative of growing investor confidence and potential continued upside momentum.
As reported by ZyCrypto earlier, crypto investment products recorded $224 million in inflows over the past week, after a $414 million outflow in the prior week.
Weekly data showed XRP emerging as the top performer, attracting nearly $120 million in inflows—its strongest weekly figure since mid-December 2025. The surge pushed XRP’s year-to-date inflows to $159 million, accounting for roughly 7% of assets under management.
