Arthur highlighted this divergence in a recent X post that quickly drew attention. His assessment focused on shifting exchange reserves and the behavior of both whales and retail traders. The data he shared shows the market moving in two directions at once.

Binance Reserves Show Clear Outflows

Binance has recorded a steady decline in XRP reserves over recent sessions. Whales continue to withdraw large amounts from the exchange. These withdrawals usually point to long-term accumulation.

Off-exchange storage often signals stronger conviction among deep-pocketed holders. Lower supply on Binance tightens the liquidity pool. This tightening can support higher prices if demand continues to rise.

XRP gives a mixed signal right now

Binance reserves keep dropping → whales are withdrawing, supply is tightening

Upbit & Bithumb reserves are rising → short-term selling pressure, Asia taking profits

Korean Exchanges Show Rising Supply

Upbit and Bithumb are moving in the opposite direction. XRP reserves on both exchanges have been climbing. This rise suggests active selling and short-term profit-taking in the South Korean market.

Korean traders often respond quickly to sharp movements. Their reactions sometimes cause sudden pressure during periods of uncertainty. The increase in supply on these platforms reflects a more defensive tone among retail participants.

Two Markets Create Two Distinct Moods

The global XRP market now splits into two clear camps. Western-based traders appear focused on accumulation and long-term positioning. Asian retail traders want to lock in gains while volatility stays high.

These conflicting behaviors create mixed signals across major trading hubs. The result is an uneven structure that complicates short-term predictions.

Impact on Market Structure

The shrinking supply on Binance creates a potential bullish foundation. Reduced availability can amplify upward moves once demand strengthens. However, the rising supply on Korean exchanges introduces friction.

This friction can slow momentum and delay breakouts. Traders now face a tug-of-war between tightening liquidity and renewed selling pressure. The balance between both forces will shape the next major move.

Why These Signals Matter

Exchange reserves often act as early indicators of sentiment. Withdrawals hint at stronger confidence. Rising reserves suggest hesitation or caution. XRP’s current split highlights a broader theme in global trading behavior.

Different regions react to market conditions with different priorities. Understanding these flows helps traders avoid misleading signals and rushed decisions.

What Traders Should Watch

Short-term direction depends on which trend becomes dominant. If Binance outflows continue, tightening supply could support higher prices. If Korean sales accelerate, downward pressure may increase. Traders should monitor changes in exchange reserves and regional volume shifts. These metrics provide clearer insights than price alone.

XRP now sits between two moods that define its immediate outlook. Arthur’s observation captures a market struggling between optimism and caution. The coming days will reveal which side gains control as liquidity patterns continue to shift.

The post XRP Gives a Mixed Signal Right Now. Two Markets, Two Moods appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto pundit Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto) shared findings showing a newly created XRP wallet holding approximately 2 billion XRP valued at $4.5 billion.

The wallet’s creation immediately positioned it among the largest XRP-holding addresses in existence, surpassing several well-known exchange reserves. Xaif’s post, accompanied by on-chain data, revealed details of the wallet, which currently lists an available balance of more than 1.7 billion XRP.

His observation came as the token’s market momentum continues to strengthen, with analysts closely monitoring large wallet activities for signs of institutional accumulation. The timing of this movement, paired with its size, added weight to speculation that it may be connected to preparations for upcoming spot XRP ETF launches rather than ordinary exchange activity.

What Could the Wallet Represent?

Following Xaif’s post, a community member provided context, clarifying that the transfer originated from another Bithumb-controlled wallet. The comment stated that it was “a transfer from Bithumb 7 to Bithumb 12,” implying that the massive shift did not represent a new external buyer but rather an internal reorganization of funds.

However, the same comment also suggested that the transfer could be related to preparations for large institutional inflows tied to exchange-traded funds. According to the reply, the transfer might be linked to advance purchases of assets in preparation for ETF-related inflows, suggesting that exchanges could be positioning themselves to hold equivalent amounts of liquidity.

The user also noted that if multiple ETF products were to launch at the same time, the 2 billion XRP movement could seem relatively small in comparison. This view supports the idea that exchanges are organizing their reserves ahead of major financial product releases.

Projected ETF Inflows and Market Context

Canary Capital CEO Steve McClurg recently predicted that spot XRP ETFs could see inflows of $5 billion in the first month, and others have set targets as high as $10 billion for these highly anticipated products.

While the transaction may have originated internally, its timing, scale, and association with ETF-related forecasts continue to reinforce XRP’s image as a major player in upcoming institutional adoption cycles. Whether linked directly to ETF preparations or not, such large-scale transfers highlight growing confidence in XRP’s long-term utility and market relevance.

The post Owner of a Massive XRP Wallet Holding 2 Billion XRP Has Been Identified appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Following the massive surge in the price of the Ripple-backed digital token, XRP has overtaken Bitcoin (BTC) in trading volume on the top 4 crypto exchanges based in South Korea. 

Data extracted on Coinmarketcap shows that XRP dominates the market share across UpBit, Bithumb, Coinone, and Korbit, all among the five largest South Korean crypto trading platforms. Particularly, XRP trade volume on these exchanges surpasses Bitcoin trade volume as Korean traders seek to take advantage of XRP’s bullish outlook. 

On the Korbit exchange, XRP posts a 24-hour trade volume totaling $2.8 million. With this huge volume, XRP’s market share compared with  Korbit’s total 24-hour trade volume is 38.02%.

On the other hand, Bitcoin (BTC) has not been able to record such a huge trade volume. Bitcoin’s market share on Korbit is 36.99%. It bears noting that all volumes are taken from trades against the Korean won (KRW).

A look at trade statistics on South Korea’s third largest exchange Coinone shows a notable disparity between BTC and XRP 24-hour trade volumes.

On Coinone, XRP leads BTC in terms of market share with their 24-hour trading volume at $35.9 million and $16.4 million respectively. Accordingly, XRP accounts for 42.08% of Coinone’s total trade volume in the last 24 hours while BTC’s not up to $15%.

XRP is equally performing nicely on the Bithumb exchange which is the second-largest South Korean-based digital assets trading platform. At the time of writing, the trade volume of XRP on Bithumb stands at $137.9 million. 

This represents 34.05% of the exchange’s total trade volume in the last 24 hours which is far above Bitcoin’s market share (17.57%) on the exchange. The trade volume of BTC on Bithumb is only $71.1 million. 

Among these four exchanges, XRP’s largest 24-hour trading volume was recorded on Upbit. The 6th largest crypto asset boasts a trading volume of $569.2 million on Upbit in the last 24 hours while BTC records just $188.6 million.

Accordingly, XRP’s market share on South Korea’s largest exchange is 17.03% in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin accounts for only 5.64% of Upbit’s total 24-hour trade volume.

This high interest in XRP comes after veteran investor Peter Brandt shared a bullish outlook on XRP. According to him, $3 is the minimum target for the XRPL native token.

170 Million XRP Moved by Ripple and ODL platforms

According to the huge crypto transaction tracker, Whale Alert, around 170 million coins, was moved by Ripple and several leading crypto exchanges. These include South Korean Bithumb, as well as Coins.ph based in the Philippines and Mexico-based crypto exchange Bitso.

These three exchanges also operate as Ripple’s ODL platforms for sending low cost and fast payments, using the digital token XRP. Bitso received 20 million XRP from the US-based exchange Bittrex and shifted 17,700,000 coins from one of its wallets to another.

Bithumb sent 72 million XRP between its own wallets. Ripple sent 40 million XRP to its RL18-VN wallet, often used by the payment firm to send XRP to external wallets owned by customers, financial institutions, and crypto exchanges, for selling XRP to cover operational expenses or for enhancing the digital currency’s liquidity.

A total of 20 million XRP tokens from the same wallet belonging to Ripple were transferred to the Coins.ph exchange.

Crypto Whale Transferred 230 Million XRP

The rest of the 400 million XRP was shifted by an owner of an unregistered wallet. The XRP whale shifted a whopping 229,610,300 XRP from his address 3GmhuPLe8PWL4WJbSr8Uaj72o9ed3YETU to rUtSrjgTrten98AYPgJSVTGVY9Qx7Esrxr in a single transaction.
