At the same time, XRP Ledger activity reached 36,300 active accounts, presenting two developments that crypto analyst Xaif Crypto considers important for understanding current XRP movements.

The figures show a significant difference between the amount of XRP leaving Binance and the amount entering the exchange. They also come alongside increased account activity on the XRP Ledger, raising questions about where investors are moving their holdings and how they are using the network.

XRP exchange outflows are getting harder to ignore.

Binance recorded a netflow of -14.97M XRP on November 2, with outflows hitting 15.32M against just 341.7K in inflows.

Binance reserves are down 5.2% in 30 days to 2.38B XRP.

Meanwhile, network activity is surging, with 36.3K… https://t.co/wGp3PXz1jF pic.twitter.com/UGO4sFV23p

Binance Hack Adds Context to the XRP Outflows

The figures come shortly after Binance experienced a major security breach on October 29, 2026. The exchange confirmed that attackers compromised its internal wallet signing infrastructure and transferred approximately $6.34 billion in digital assets across several blockchain networks.

Among the affected assets was XRP. Five Binance hot wallets transferred 233.46 million XRP to an attacker-controlled address within four minutes. Binance subsequently suspended withdrawals while it addressed the security incident and strengthened its wallet infrastructure.

The timing provides important context for the November 2 exchange figures. Binance began restoring withdrawal services in phases, giving users an opportunity to move their assets after the disruption. Some of the XRP outflows could therefore reflect customers transferring their holdings into personal wallets following the breach.

This makes it difficult to interpret the negative netflow as a straightforward sign of investor accumulation. Security concerns and the desire for greater control over personal holdings could also explain the withdrawals.

XRP Ledger Activity Reaches 36,300 Active Accounts

Xaif Crypto also reported increased activity on the XRP Ledger, with active accounts reaching 36,300. The figure adds another dimension to the exchange reserve data because it shows that network activity increased during the same period that Binance recorded substantial XRP outflows.

Some users withdrawing XRP from centralized exchanges may move their holdings into self-custody wallets, creating or activating accounts on the XRP Ledger. Others may use their assets for transfers, decentralized exchange transactions or other network activities.

However, active account growth alone does not establish how many new investors have entered the network or how much additional economic activity those accounts represent. It provides a measure of network participation that requires further context.

XRP Community Reacts to the Exchange Data

XRP HERALD responded to Xaif Crypto’s figures by connecting the declining Binance reserves with increased network activity.

“Outflows like that with reserves down 5.2% in a month is a clear trend. Coins are leaving exchanges and active accounts are surging. That’s not just holding, that’s the network getting used. Supply tightening while activity grows is a good setup,” the commenter wrote.

If XRP continues leaving exchanges and remains in self-custody, the amount immediately available for trading on centralized platforms could decline. A sustained reduction in exchange liquidity could influence market conditions if buying demand increases.

For now, Xaif Crypto’s data presents two developments worth monitoring: Binance’s declining XRP reserves and rising XRP Ledger activity.

The post Here’s What Just Happened to XRP On Binance appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The funds, taken during the October 29 Binance hack, were split across six fresh addresses. He identified this as a pattern analysts associate with money laundering preparation.

How the Binance Hack Unfolded

Early reports suggested XRP had no involvement in the Binance breach. Further investigation told a different story. The XRP theft did not follow the hack, it started it.

Between 20:05 and 20:09 UTC on October 29, five Binance wallets transferred 233.46 million XRP to a single attacker-controlled address. The entire transfer was completed in four minutes. From there, the attack spread across nine more blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, and Solana.

By the time investigators compiled the full picture, total losses reached approximately $6.36 billion, making it the largest cryptocurrency theft in history. The XRP alone accounted for roughly $296 million, or about 4.7% of the total stolen.

233 Million Stolen XRP On The Move pic.twitter.com/Ca2XOlK2eq

— Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) November 2, 2026

The Scale of the Attack

The attack hit ten blockchains in under 20 minutes. Tron losses totaled around $628 million. Solana lost approximately $96 million. The largest share came from Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings.

Blockchain analytics firms TRM Labs, Chainalysis, and Nansen all confirmed the XRP transfers as part of the same coordinated operation. The $296 million in XRP is now included in all major estimates of the total theft, and is much more than the 103 million XRP ($158 million) stolen from Bitget less than a month earlier.

Binance pledged to cover all losses from its own funds, setting aside $6.34 billion to compensate affected users.

Stolen XRP On the Move

For roughly 80 hours after the theft, the stolen XRP remained untouched in its single destination wallet. Investigators monitored the address closely. No outgoing transactions appeared during that window.

Then on November 2, the attacker moved. Nine transfers between 3:52 and 4:00 UTC redistributed approximately 233.45 million XRP across six newly created wallets. Digital Asset Investor flagged the movement, noting the split is a recognized step in laundering operations.

XRP cannot be frozen at the protocol level, which limits the options available to authorities and exchanges. Ripple did freeze $40.5 million in RLUSD connected to the hack, but native XRP does not carry that capability.

Where Things Stand

As of November 3, the six wallets holding the stolen XRP have not sent funds onward. Investigators continue to monitor the addresses. The movement signals the attacker is preparing next steps, though no exchange has reported receiving the funds.

The post 233 Million Stolen XRP On The Move. Here’s the Latest appeared first on Times Tabloid.

What Happened at Binance

On October 29, Binance suffered a security breach that drained an estimated $6.3 billion in digital assets. A compromised laptop belonging to a DevOps engineer gave attackers internal access. They used it to push unauthorized withdrawals through Ethereum hot wallets, moving funds across 10 blockchains in around 20 minutes.

Around $3 billion was subsequently frozen, with stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle both stepping in to lock portions of the stolen funds. Binance suspended withdrawals and committed to covering user losses. No previous crypto theft has come close to this scale.

So binance just proved why xrp is the chosen one

— Zolid (@Zolid_XRPL) October 30, 2026

Why XRP Was Never Touched

The compromised wallets were Ethereum wallets which held no XRP. Native XRP exists exclusively on the XRP Ledger and cannot be held in an Ethereum wallet. The attackers had no technical path to it, and ended up not taking any XRP.

Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD was present among the stolen assets, as it runs on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, and the Ethereum-based version sat in the affected wallets. XRP itself was never at risk.

The Community Responds

Many commenters pushed back on Zolid’s post, and many others made jokes about the situation. One commenter stated that the hackers don’t want XRP.

Another jokingly claimed that the hack confirmed the XRP community was right. He attached an image of someone in a tinfoil hat, treating Zolid’s post as a conspiracy theory.

Others took a more critical tone. One said the situation only proved that nobody wants XRP, hackers included. Another commenter questioned when being right about XRP would ever translate into actual financial gains. Another said hackers did not want XRP because it never goes up.

Is XRP the Chosen One?

The XRP Ledger’s separation from Ethereum infrastructure kept XRP outside the attack surface entirely. That is a technical reality, not a market judgment.

XRP holders on Binance were subject to the same counterparty risks as everyone else on the platform. The breach was a failure of Binance’s internal security, not a validation of any particular asset.

XRP made up the largest share of funds stolen from Bitget in September, countering Zolid’s assertion that the asset is special. Whether “chosen one” claim holds up depends on how much stock one puts in architectural separation as a security advantage.

BREAKING: The Binance hacker didn’t bother to steal any XRP https://t.co/gOzufUU537

— Cobb (@Cobb_XRPL) October 29, 2026

The Biggest Hack in Crypto History

The breach itself was historic. Binance, the world’s largest exchange, confirmed a security incident affecting approximately $6.3 billion in digital assets. Attackers moved funds across 10 blockchains in roughly 20 minutes.

Binance says a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop gave them access to a service container, enabling unauthorized withdrawals from Ethereum hot wallets. About $3 billion has since been frozen on-chain.

Binance suspended deposits and withdrawals and pledged to cover all losses. The attack surpasses the $1.5 billion Bybit hack of 2025, making it the largest crypto theft on record.

Why XRP Was Absent

The reason XRP escaped the breach is technical. XRP operates on the XRP Ledger, not Ethereum. The hackers targeted Ethereum infrastructure exclusively. RLUSD runs on both the XRPL and Ethereum network, explaining its presence among the stolen assets. XRP had no presence in those wallets to begin with.

Community Responses

Reaction in the thread reflected both technical clarity and community confidence. One response addressed the architecture. Native XRP lives on the XRP Ledger and cannot exist inside an Ethereum wallet, so there was no path for the attackers to reach it.

Another user confirmed the same technical detail, noting that RLUSD is also Ethereum-native, which explains its presence in the compromised wallet.

Many in the community made jokes out of her situation. One commenter said the XRP community was in trouble because even hackers don’t want to hold the asset. Another made a similar joke about hackers not wanting XRP, writing, “we are cooked.”

The Bigger Picture

The crypto market has been under attack lately, as Ledger lost over $91 million to a hardware wallet breach less than a month ago. The Binance breach raises serious questions about hot wallet security across the industry.

While XRP was absent from the hack, the event has caused a market-wide decline and many market participants have serious questions about the safety of their assets.

The post Binance Hackers Ignored XRP appeared first on Times Tabloid.

This amount makes it the biggest crypto heist in history. The news triggered immediate selling across crypto markets. Traders reduced exposure as details of the unauthorized transfers spread.

XRP now sits at $1.25. The token fell 3.2% from the prior close and touched a session low of $1.20 before a partial recovery.

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the co-founder and former CEO, weighed in immediately, reassuring the community that their funds are safe and thanking Tether and Circle for their quick action in freezing almost $971 million USDT and $823 million USDC.

User funds are safe!

It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m).

I don't manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered. https://t.co/oufpyNChxI

Security Breach Hits Binance

Attackers moved funds from several Binance hot wallets in a brief period on Thursday. The exchange suspended deposits and withdrawals while teams contained the activity. Officials reported no evidence of any private key leak in their initial findings.

Binance worked with partners to locate and secure affected assets. About $3 billion has been frozen so far through those efforts. CZ assured the community that while he doesn’t manage Binance anymore, user funds will be completely covered.

Further Comments from Zhao

In a later post CZ went further, repeating: “User funds are SAFU!” This is a reference to Binance’s Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), the same fund that covered losses from the 2019 breach.

He thanked the team that worked overnight, including his pregnant co-founder and Chief Customer Service Officer Yi He. He also thanked industry partners who assisted. He noted that even some previously less friendly competitors offered help.

In another reply, he said the loss might be a bit higher than early figures but the company will cover it. These statements reinforced the commitment to protect account holders. Further replies reveal that USD1 has frozen $27 million, the Arbitrum Security Council froze $30.5 million, and Ripple is monitoring the situation to support the investigation.

Binance Investigation Details

Binance released initial findings. The company indicated a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop may have allowed unauthorized withdrawal transactions. Access to a service container enabled the submissions. Teams continue coordination with law enforcement and blockchain partners.

The exchange has now resumed deposits and expects to resume withdrawals within 48 hours. It has also committed to publishing an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.

Market Reaction Following the News

The confirmed $6.3 billion breach drove rapid selling across major tokens. This happened less than 3 weeks after over $91 million was stolen from Ledger through compromised chips in its hardware wallets. Liquidity thinned as participants reduced exposure and XRP declined with the rest of the market during the session.

The token reached $1.20 before recovering to the current $1.25 level. Trading volume rose as the news circulated. Binance maintains that user balances remain protected through the coverage plan. The exchange continues its review while markets absorb the information.

The post Here’s What Caused Recent XRP’s Massive Price Crash appeared first on Times Tabloid.

James Rule XRP’s tweet read: “Curious about XRP distribution? xrpscan.com shows Ripple holds 39.5% of top accounts. Exchanges like Upbit (6.4%), Coinbase (5.8%), and Binance (2.75%) also have significant holdings, alongside Robinhood and Uphold (1.75B XRP).”

Ripple Leads the Rich List

XRPScan’s October 18, 2026 snapshot confirms Ripple as the dominant entity on the rich list. Ripple holds 39.50% of XRP across 31 accounts. That figure includes both liquid holdings and the approximately 35.7 billion XRP Ripple holds in cryptographically secured escrow accounts, which release on a scheduled monthly basis.

— James Rule XRP ⟐ (@allthemoney) October 18, 2026

Exchanges Hold Billions in Custodial Wallets

The data shows major exchanges occupy several of the top positions on the rich list. UPbit ranks second with 6.44% across 13 accounts. Coinbase follows at 5.84% across 344 accounts. Binance holds 2.74% across 145 accounts.

Robinhood controls 2.37% across 6 accounts. Uphold holds 1.75% across 22 accounts. Bithumb accounts for 1.86% across 3 accounts, while bitbank holds 0.58% across 2 accounts.

XRPScan notes that exchange holdings represent custodial wallets. Substantial portions of those balances belong to retail customers, not the exchanges themselves.

Individual Holders Also Feature Prominently

Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen appears on the list under the label “chrislarsen.” His 7 accounts hold 2.53% of XRP in the rich list. Arthur Britto, another XRP co-creator, appears under the label “ahbritto” with 7 accounts holding 1.30%.

The remaining 9,420 rich list accounts hold 24.78% collectively. XRP held outside the top 10,000 accounts accounts for 10.30%.

What the Data Shows

The XRPScan rich list covers 8,194,963 funded XRPL accounts as of October 2026. A single entity can control multiple addresses, and exchange wallets custody assets on behalf of thousands of users. The data reveals concentration at the top of the ledger, but it does not establish exact beneficial ownership across those accounts.

The post XRP Distribution: Ripple, Upbit, Coinbase, and Binance Holdings Revealed appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The chart covers a wide price range and reveals the scale of resistance XRP faces before any sustained upward move becomes viable. Volume registered at 13.443 million. The asset is consolidating near the bottom of an enormous range of stacked sell orders.

Sell ​​walls from $XRP Binance whales exist up to $15, and sell walls from Coinbase whales exist up to $31. pic.twitter.com/dZ87LdL5iP

Binance Whale Sell Walls Extend to $15

On Binance, whale sell walls stretch from just above current price levels to approximately $15. The chart displays dense horizontal red bands across this range. These represent large limit sell orders placed by large holders. The volume and distribution of these orders suggest that upward price movement on Binance will encounter persistent resistance at multiple levels below $15.

CW’s note identifies these orders as Binance whales’ sell walls, distinguishing them from Coinbase by their position on the left side of the chart and their concentration in the lower price range.

Coinbase Whales Have Placed Orders Up to $31

The Coinbase sell walls are more extensive. They begin at a similar price range but extend upward to approximately $31. The red horizontal bands on the right portion of the chart are denser and cover a wider vertical span. Whales on Coinbase have distributed sell orders across a much broader price range than their Binance counterparts.

The levels on Coinbase have dropped from the $33 level highlighted by another analyst in early September, but the highest level still sits far above XRP’s current price. The concentration of orders between $15 and $31 creates a layered ceiling that XRP would need to absorb before reaching those price levels.

What’s Next for XRP?

Green circles appear along the bottom of the chart near the $1.3580 level. These represent buy orders and large trade activity clustering close to the current price. The contrast between the buy activity at current levels and the sell walls above is the central data point in CW’s post.

XRP has whale-placed sell orders spanning from current levels to $31 across two of the world’s largest exchanges. The volume of supply stacked above current price suggests any significant rally will be gradual rather than sharp. How quickly buyers absorb that supply will determine the pace of any upward move.

He noted that this is the largest such movement in six months, raising fresh interest in how large holders are positioning their tokens.

The attached chart gives the transaction more context. It tracks XRP whale outflows from Binance over the past several months, alongside XRP’s price. The latest spike stands well above most of the activity shown across the period, and Pumpius suggests a supply shock may be coming.

WHALES JUST YANKED 231 MILLION XRP OFF BINANCE IN ONE GO — BIGGEST MOVE IN 6 MONTHS!

Supply shock incoming? pic.twitter.com/DeXR42v39Q

— Pumpius (@pumpius) August 26, 2026

A Sharp Outflow Spike

The chart shows several sizable XRP outflow events since February. Activity increased at various points in March, May, June, and July, with a notable one occurring just before XRP’s decline in early June and another coinciding with that move. None of those movements reach the level of the latest spike shown near the end of the chart.

The 231 million XRP transfer represents a significant single movement off a major centralized exchange. Analysts generally interpret withdrawals of this size as accumulation by large holders moving assets into private custody rather than positioning for an immediate sale.

However, the chart cannot establish where the XRP went or whether the holder intends to keep it outside the exchange. The chart also shows why the transaction has attracted attention. It represents a sharp increase compared with the surrounding readings, and it coincided with XRP’s sharp upward move.

Community Focuses on Supply and Price

Several community responses focused on the transfer volume compared with XRP’s total supply. Some participants viewed 231 million XRP as relatively modest against XRP’s circulating supply of over 60 billion tokens.

We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

Price action also featured in the responses. One commenter complained that XRP’s price is still falling despite the whale activity. Another looked at the transaction as a potential sign of stronger price action ahead, setting a target of $3.1 for September.

Is a Supply Shock Coming?

231 million XRP leaving Binance in a single transaction is not routine. The transfer removes significant sell-side supply from one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges. Pumpius raised the possibility of a supply shock.

Whether this transaction is enough to shift market conditions depends on demand holding up on the other side. XRP has continued to fall in the short term, and the market will determine if this withdrawal marks the beginning of a larger structural change in XRP’s supply dynamics.

The post Whales Just Scooped 231 Million XRP Off Binance. Here’s the Impact appeared first on Times Tabloid.

What Agent OS Is

Agent OS is a developer platform that connects AI applications directly to Binance’s trading infrastructure, market data, payment rails, and on-chain services. At its core is a Binance Model Context Protocol server — a standardized interface that lets compatible AI applications authenticate with Binance’s systems and interact with them as tools, rather than requiring developers to build custom API integrations for every agent they want to deploy.

Compatible environments at launch include OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Codex, Anthropic’s Claude Code, and Cursor — the coding tool SpaceX acquired last week. Once connected and authorized, an agent can view account information, analyze market data, place orders, and execute trades within limits the user sets up front. The platform also links agents to Binance Wallet’s agentic hub, the exchange’s x402 transaction verification API, and Binance’s Skill Hub.

The Guardrails — and the Gaps

Binance has built several constraints into the structure. Agents operate in dedicated subaccounts, isolated from a user’s main Binance account. The separation is meaningful: agents cannot initiate cryptocurrency withdrawals to external wallet addresses, and they cannot transfer assets from the primary account into the agentic subaccount — users must manually fund the subaccount before an agent can deploy capital. Binance’s VP of Product Jeff Li confirmed that withdrawals from subaccounts are disabled by default.

What Agent OS does not provide is a cap on how much an agent can lose within a subaccount. The exchange noted that it cannot observe an agent’s reasoning, information sources, or strategic logic — only the transactions it executes. The platform recommends users carefully review all specifications before final confirmation and restrict agent permissions to the minimum necessary, but the framework places significant responsibility on individual users to configure their own risk limits rather than imposing universal guardrails. TechCrunch’s coverage summarized it directly: keeping AI agents in check “is largely up to users.”

Part of a Fast-Moving Crypto AI Race

Binance is not moving alone. Coinbase launched Agentic Wallets in June 2026, enabling AI agents to hold funds and make autonomous on-chain transactions through non-custodial wallets. OKX debuted a decentralized AI marketplace in late June where autonomous agents can find tasks, fulfill contracts, and pay each other in stablecoins programmatically. Kraken deployed an AI investment advisor in July that suggests opportunities but requires manual trade approval. The four largest crypto exchanges have each introduced a different point on the AI autonomy spectrum within the past three months — from Kraken’s human-in-the-loop advisory model to Binance’s fully autonomous subaccount execution.

Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao has been advocating for this convergence for months, publicly calling cryptocurrency the “native currency” of AI agents — an argument that crypto’s 24/7 markets, programmable infrastructure, and borderless settlement make it uniquely suited to autonomous AI operation compared to traditional financial markets with trading hours, settlement delays, and banking access requirements.

What It Means Bigger Picture

Binance’s Agent OS launch is the most operationally significant AI-in-finance development since algorithmic trading went mainstream, because it puts AI agency directly in the hands of retail participants rather than institutional quant desks. Someone with a Claude Code session and a funded Binance subaccount can now deploy an autonomous trading agent this afternoon. Whether that creates opportunity or accelerates losses for retail traders will depend heavily on how thoughtfully those users configure the permissions Agent OS hands them. Given the same week produced the first documented autonomous AI attack on a government’s infrastructure — covered in our story on Taiwan’s four-day AI agent breach — the question of what happens when AI agents operate without human checkpoints at every step is more than theoretical right now.

The announcement landed on X on August 15, posted from the official Binance account. Crypto commentator BankXRP (@BankXRP) amplified the news, pushing it to a community already watching XRP closely.

Binance is one of the largest exchanges in the world, and tying a reward pool of this size to the XRP ecosystem signals continued institutional confidence in what it can deliver.

Four more weeks of RLUSD airdrop rewards.

The campaign is back with the same terms and a bigger reward pool worth 1M XRP tokens at today’s USD value.

Last 7-day APR: 7.69%

Details https://t.co/LmdiRKIG7w pic.twitter.com/mQPt3xviiU

— Binance (@binance) August 15, 2026

What Binance Is Offering

The campaign runs through September 11. Binance will distribute 1 million XRP across four weekly installments, every Friday. The last reported 7-day APR on the program stood at 7.69%.

To qualify, users must hold at least 0.01 RLUSD in an eligible Earn or Margin account. They also need a minimum of $500 in average daily Margin or Futures trading volume. The trading volume can come from any supported pair, as long as RLUSD is used as collateral.

Binance calculates rewards using each user’s qualifying RLUSD balance. The lowest RLUSD balance recorded during hourly snapshots becomes the qualifying balance for that day. RLUSD acquired through borrowing other stablecoins receives a 60% haircut in the calculation.

A Bigger Pool Than Round One

This is not Binance’s first RLUSD campaign. The exchange launched the original program on July 17, offering $800,000 worth of XRP across four weekly distributions. That campaign ended on August 14. The new one began immediately after, with a noticeably larger reward pool.

The campaign excludes users in the U.S., UK, Canada, Japan, and several EEA jurisdictions. For eligible participants, distributions continue every Friday through September 11.

XRP Activity Rises Alongside the Campaign

On-chain data from Santiment shows XRP registered 49,929 active addresses within a single 24-hour period. That figure represents the network’s highest activity level in over two months. Earlier in July, XRP Ledger activity had dropped near 2026 lows, a stark contrast to the previous year.

The extension of the RLUSD campaign coincides with that uptick. More users holding RLUSD on Binance means more exposure to XRP as the reward asset. Each weekly distribution puts XRP directly into participant wallets.

This move could help expand RLUSD’s reach, and Ripple’s transparency data adds context. As of August 6, $1.59 billion of RLUSD was in circulation against $1.70 billion in reserve funds.
