XRP Open Interest Falls to $773.5M as Market Activity Slows

XRP has shown market weakness lately, with activity slowing across multiple metrics. Open Interest across all exchanges fell to around $773.5 million, down from levels above $1 billion in May, while market cap declined to approximately $10.89 billion. The decline reflects reduced trader willingness to take on new positions, with demand yet to recover in the leveraged trading environment.

XRP Open Interest Falls to $773.5 Million

XRP's Open Interest across all exchanges fell to around $773.5 million, representing a substantial drop from levels above $1 billion recorded in May. On Binance alone, the Open Interest fell to nearly $350.6 million, indicating that leveraged traders may be reducing exposure.

The lower Open Interest occurred alongside a market cap decline to about $10.89 billion, suggesting new capital is not entering the market. The NVT ratio remained elevated, implying that network activity was yet to be strong enough for recovery.

Binance Reserves Drop to 2.62 Billion XRP

Binance reserves fell to around 2.62 billion XRP. The decline in exchange reserves reduces the amount of tokens available to sell on the platform.

Lower exchange reserves can help reduce sell-side pressure in the short-term. However, the fall does not indicate that investors are buying or that a price recovery is imminent. Limited support remains present in the market.

Whale-to-Exchange Flows Decline to 82

XRP whale-to-exchange flows have mostly stayed low, despite occasional spikes. After rising to nearly 27,000 in early July, the latest reading dropped to just 82. The low reading reduces the risk of whale selling.

The weak market cap and higher NVT still indicate less demand and network activity. For a stronger recovery, XRP may need Open Interest to stabilize alongside price, new capital to return to the spot market, and on-chain activity to improve.
