XRP\u2019s recovery above $1.16 this week has coincided with a shift in the token\u2019s supply picture, as large holders move fewer coins onto exchanges while US-listed exchange-traded funds continue to attract fresh capital.<\/p>\n

The retreat in exchange-bound supply follows weeks of consolidation around $1, when weaker prices and limited spot demand kept XRP from sustaining repeated recovery attempts.<\/p>\n

The change has eased one source of pressure but has yet to produce a decisive breakout. As of press time, XRP had surrendered part of Tuesday\u2019s advance and was trading near $1.14, leaving the next stage of the recovery dependent on whether ETF demand and broader spot buying can absorb the remaining available supply.<\/p>\n

XRP whales accumulate while exchange deposits plunge<\/h2>\n

XRP\u2019s largest holders are adding to their positions while taking a growing share of tokens leaving exchanges, a combination that points to stronger conviction among whales as the cryptocurrency attempts to recover from its recent downturn.<\/p>\n

Wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million XRP increased their collective balances by 2.8% over the past five weeks, Santiment data show. At the other end of the market, wallets containing less than 0.01 XRP reduced their holdings by 5.2% during the same period.<\/p>\n

The accumulation has coincided with a sharp change in how large holders are interacting with centralized exchanges.<\/p>\n

Whales accounted for a record 77.8% of XRP outflows across centralized exchanges on July 22, up from 63% on May 6, CryptoQuant data show. Retail investors\u2019 share fell to 22% from 36% over the same period, widening the gap between the two groups to nearly 56%.<\/p>\n

A similar pattern is visible on Binance. Large holders represented 71% of XRP withdrawals on July 22, compared with 67% in early May, while retail\u2019s share slipped to 28.7% from 32%.<\/p>\n

The higher whale share across the broader centralized exchange market suggests the movement is not confined to Binance.<\/p>\n

While the data do not reveal where the withdrawn XRP ultimately went, the increase in large-wallet balances provides separate evidence that whales have been accumulating during the same period.<\/p>\n

At the same time, those holders are sending far less XRP onto Binance, reducing the amount being positioned on the exchange for potential trading.<\/p>\n

Whale deposits to Binance have collapsed 96% to 25.3 million XRP from a previous peak of 583 million. The earlier inflow was worth roughly $1.36 billion at the time, compared with about $23 million for the latest reading.<\/p>\n

The decline extends beyond a single trading session. The 90-day average value of whale inflows to Binance has fallen to about $69 million from $460 million in January 2025, while the latest daily reading is the lowest since that month.<\/p>\n

Taken together, the data show whales increasing their XRP holdings and accounting for a greater share of tokens leaving exchanges while sending considerably less XRP onto Binance.<\/p>\n

That behavior is consistent with large holders becoming less inclined to position their XRP for near-term trading as they increase their exposure to the token.<\/p>\n

ETF inflows add demand as whale deposits fall<\/h2>\n

The decline in whale deposits is becoming more significant as XRP ETFs continue to bring fresh capital into the market.<\/p>\n

US spot XRP funds have attracted about $12 million so far in July, putting them on course for a fourth consecutive month of net inflows. The products drew $81.59 million in April, $131.94 million in May and $59.46 million in June, bringing inflows over the four-month stretch to about $285 million.<\/p>\n

Cumulative net inflows into the four funds have reached about $1.49 billion since their launch, while total assets have risen to roughly $1.06 billion.<\/p>\n

The monthly totals remain modest compared with the flows routinely recorded by Bitcoin funds. Their persistence, however, gives XRP a recurring source of demand at a time when large holders are accumulating the token and sending substantially less of it onto Binance.<\/p>\n

ETF subscriptions can require fund providers and their counterparties to source additional XRP exposure as new shares are created. Continued inflows therefore add a buyer to a market where one source of potential selling pressure has been receding.<\/p>\n

That interaction is becoming increasingly important for XRP\u2019s recovery. Falling whale deposits can reduce the amount of supply reaching Binance, but a sustained price advance still requires buyers willing to absorb the tokens available at higher prices.<\/p>\n

ETF investors are providing part of that demand. Whether their purchases are large enough to help push XRP beyond the range that has held since June remains the next test.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
