Why XRP’s Big Drop on Exchanges Could Push Price Toward $4–$5.
In 2026, one of the most important signals for XRP is how many coins are sitting on exchanges and that number has fallen a lot.
Over the past year,
$XRP held on trading platforms dropped from about 4 billion tokens to around 1.5 billion, a massive 57% decrease. That means a huge amount of XRP has been moved into long-term wallets and institutional custody instead of being kept ready to sell.
When fewer coins are available to trade, prices can move much faster. What once caused only small price changes can now push XRP 10–15% in just a few days if buying picks up.
At the same time, new spot
$XRP ETFs have been soaking up supply. Since launching in November 2025, these ETFs have taken in about 750 million XRP, backed by $1.37 billion in total inflows. Big firms like Canary Capital, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton are behind these products, adding more pressure on available supply.
Blockchain data from Glassnode and CryptoQuant shows this isn’t panic selling it looks more like accumulation. Even major exchanges like Binance have seen their XRP reserves drop sharply, while large custody wallets linked to institutions keep growing. Some regions, including Korea, also recorded heavy withdrawals, tightening supply even further.
Because of all this, analysts think
$XRP could be setting up for a stronger move possibly toward $4–$5 instead of stalling under $3 like in previous rallies.
👉 Less XRP on exchanges + strong ETF buying = tighter supply.
👉 Tighter supply means prices can jump faster.
👉 That’s why many believe XRP could be gearing up for a big breakout. 🚀
