A notable shift has occurred among long-term XRP investors, with a rapid increase in outflows suggesting that some holders are choosing to take profits or reposition.
Data shared by crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) shows that XRP’s holder net position change fell from -18.5 million to -59.5 million XRP in just 4 days.
The move represents a 220% increase in outflows, marking one of the steepest short-term declines in recent weeks. The accompanying chart tracks the daily net position change among XRP holders over 2 weeks.
Early in the period, data reflected steady accumulation, with multiple green bars showing over 100 million XRP inflows. However, this pattern reversed sharply, and the final bars on the chart turned red, indicating sizable net selling by existing holders.
The last data point on October 21 recorded the largest outflow, with nearly 60 million XRP leaving long-term wallets as the price hovered around $2.43.
Although the chart presents a clear exit pattern from long-term investors, it also provides useful insight into potential phases of consolidation that often accompany such transitions.

Short-Term Pressure, Long-Term Opportunity
Despite the intensity of recent selling, the data may not solely signal weakness. Similar shifts have historically followed major rallies or preceded fresh accumulation cycles. Holder position changes of this magnitude often occur when traders rebalance portfolios after significant price movements or in anticipation of volatility.
While the drop in net positions highlights temporary pressure, XRP’s underlying market structure remains relatively firm. The price holding above the $2.4 level even amid the sell-off indicates that short-term exits have not translated into a broad loss of confidence.

Technical patterns also suggest the market could absorb current selling without severe disruption. Notable pullbacks in XRP’s history have tended to resolve into renewed buying interest once distribution phases subside.
If this behavior repeats, the ongoing reduction in long-term holdings may clear the path for stronger hands to reenter the market at adjusted levels.
Market Outlook as XRP Holds Key Levels
The next several trading sessions will likely determine whether XRP stabilizes above $2.40 or revisits earlier support zones. A sustained recovery in holder positions could serve as an early indicator of renewed investor confidence.
Steph’s chart highlights an important transition point. As sentiment oscillates, XRP’s resilience near the current range may reflect quiet accumulation under the surface. If that pattern holds, the latest outflows could ultimately precede a stronger base for the next upward phase.
