The large migration of XRP from exchanges: What does it mean?
A notable trend is unfolding in the XRP market - "whales" have withdrawn a massive amount of tokens, 1 billion, from exchanges in just three weeks! 🐋 Exchange reserves have plummeted from 3.5 billion to about 1.5 billion tokens, coinciding with the launch of spot XRP ETF funds in the US.
This massive migration has created an interesting situation where exchange reserves have fallen below price trends for the first time this year - often a precursor to bullish momentum.
What is driving this? There are several factors:
- Demand for ETFs is increasing (nearing $1 billion in assets).
- Institutions are buying in.
- The use cases for XRP are expanding.
- Token burn reduces supply.
Market commentators are increasingly discussing the potential "supply shock" scenario, as demand outstrips available supply, which could drive prices higher.
This withdrawal model shows that large holders are shifting to self-custody for long-term holding - a strong sign of confidence in XRP's future prospects!
