XRP Exchange Inflows Top 6 Billion Tokens as Whale Outflows Drop to Five‑Year Low
Current overview (not historical)
XRP exchange inflows climbed to 6.05 billion tokens over the past 30 days, the highest level in seven months, according to CryptoQuant data. The 90‑day moving average of whale outflows fell to $49.7 million, a five‑year low, suggesting large investors are holding back amid unfavorable price conditions. XRP/USD surged from around $1 to a peak of $1.70 before correcting to roughly $1.30. The data indicate a shift in market dynamics, with institutional players reducing outflows while retail and smaller holders increase exchange activity, potentially signaling a more cautious stance from whales as the price stabilizes. The inflow spike contrasts with the declining whale outflows, highlighting a divergence between retail participation and institutional sentiment. If the trend continues, it could affect liquidity and price volatility in the XRP market, though the long‑term impact remains uncertain.
