XRP whale inflows to Binance have fallen to their lowest level since November 2021, according to CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain.
Summary
- XRP whale inflows to Binance fell sharply, lowering fears of large-scale selling pressure near term.
- Analysts say a confirmed XRP close above $1.45 could reopen the path toward $1.80 next.
- ETF inflows and weaker exchange deposits support XRP, but $1.45 remains the key breakout level.
The 30-day cumulative inflow reading dropped from about 2.6 billion XRP in early March to nearly 736 million XRP.
Large transfers to exchanges often draw attention because they can show possible selling or portfolio changes. A lower inflow reading can reduce the risk of sudden sell orders from large holders, especially during volatile market periods.
The latest drop also matches earlier crypto.news coverage, which reported that XRP whale inflows to Binance had already fallen to multi-year lows in January. At that time, the trend pointed to lower short-term selling pressure as XRP tried to hold its range.
Price stays near key resistance
Ripple’s native token (XRP) traded near $1.42, with a 24-hour trading volume above $2.64 billion and a market cap near $87.5 billion, according to crypto.news data. The token was down about 1.4% on the day but remained up 3.5% over the past seven days.
Analyst Ali Martinez said XRP needs a confirmed move above $1.45 to bring $1.80 back into focus. “A confirmed close above $1.45 could open the door to $1.80,” he said, according to market commentary shared on X.
That level remains important because XRP recently failed to hold above the same resistance area. Until buyers reclaim it with steady volume, the token may continue to trade inside a familiar range.
ETF demand adds market support
XRP has also gained support from ETF-related demand. As Crypto.news reported, U.S.-listed XRP ETF products pulled in $81.63 million in April, marking their strongest monthly inflow total of 2026.
That April inflow fully reversed March’s record monthly loss. XRP ETFs built a 20-day inflow streak before that run ended on April 30.
The ETF trend gives XRP another demand source at a time when Binance whale deposits are slowing. However, inflows alone have not pushed XRP into a clear breakout. Price action still depends on whether buyers can clear the $1.45 area.
Bulls watch $3.35 long-term level
Some analysts are also watching XRP’s higher timeframe setup. Market commentary from CW said XRP is showing a bullish signal on the three-week chart after the RSI crossed above its moving average.
The same analysis said the bigger rally would require a break above the old high near $3.35. That level sits far above the current market price and remains a long-term resistance zone.
