XRP selling pressure is fading fast as Binance exchange inflows have dropped to an all-time low. This suggests that investors are choosing to hold rather than sell as XRP continues to hold above the crucial $1 mark after falling more than 72% from its peak.
CryptoQuant analysts Darkfost now believe this rare on-chain shift could decide whether XRP is preparing for its next major move.
XRP Holders Slow Down Binance Deposits
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost highlighted that XRP inflows to Binance have reached their lowest level on record. The platform is now receiving an average of just 3.6 million XRP per month, a sharp decline compared to previous market cycles.
The data comes as XRP continues to recover from its long correction. Since reaching a cycle high of $3.66, the token has fallen more than 72%, briefly slipping below $1 before reclaiming the level. It is now trading at around 70% below its all-time high while trying to build support above the psychological $1 mark.
According to Darkfost, this drop in exchange inflows points to one thing: sellers are running out.
Consolidation periods usually happen when buyers gradually absorb selling pressure. With fewer XRP tokens reaching exchanges, the market may be entering that phase.
On-Chain Data Shows Sellers Are Stepping Back
The Binance inflow chart reveals a major shift in whale behavior. At its peak, Binance received around 583 million XRP, worth roughly $1.36 billion, from large holders. That figure has now dropped to only 25.3 million XRP, or about $23 million.
The longer-term trend tells the same story. CryptoQuant’s 90-day moving average of exchange inflows has fallen from nearly $460 million in early 2025 to around $69 million, showing that selling activity has slowed consistently rather than temporarily.
CryptoQuant data also shows exchange outflows have reached record highs, meaning more investors are moving XRP into private wallets instead of leaving it on trading platforms.
Together, these signals suggest that many holders are preparing to keep their XRP rather than sell into the current market.
Can Lower Supply Push XRP Higher?
While lower exchange inflows reduce selling pressure, analysts believe that alone will not trigger the next rally.
Darkfost noted that the market now needs fresh demand to match the shrinking supply. If buyers begin entering while exchange balances remain low, XRP could react quickly because fewer tokens are available for sale.
On the technical side, crypto analyst ChartNerd believes XRP is still trading under a weekly Supertrend bearish signal. He pointed out that the price has yet to reclaim the $1.50 resistance zone, which remains the key level needed to confirm a broader trend reversal.
Until then, XRP is likely to remain in a consolidation phase despite signs that sellers are losing control.
