Binance's XRP reserves have dropped to approximately 2.61 billion tokens, marking the lowest level since February 27, 2026. This decline, observed as of July 16, follows a peak in reserves on March 23 and reflects shifting investor behavior on the exchange.
Supply Decline and Whale Activity
Data from the XRP Exchange Reserve Binance SMA (7) tool by CryptoQuant reveals a steady decrease in XRP reserves over the past five months. Historically, such a reduction in reserves on Binance has indicated increased demand from whale investors, suggesting less sell-off pressure from large holders. Binance remains the largest cryptocurrency exchange by daily average traded volume and global users, making its reserve trends significant for market dynamics.
Price Implications and ETF Inflows
The shrinking XRP supply on Binance has coincided with inflows into U.S. XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for four of the last five months, according to SoSoValue metrics. Despite this renewed demand signal, XRP's price reached a fresh low recently, trading around $1.09 at the time of reporting. Analysts suggest a potential rebound to $1.35 if the current trend continues. Conversely, an increase in Binance's XRP reserves could lead to further price declines, aligning with forecasts generated by the Finbold AI algorithm.
