- Price near $1.33. XRP traded near $1.33, with a 24-hour range of roughly $1.29 to $1.38.

What happened
Large XRP holders transferred 1.669 billion XRP to Binance over the past 30 days, pushing the exchange's whale inflow metric to its highest level in seven months, according to CryptoQuant contributor Arab Chain. The 30-day total surpassed September's previous peak of roughly 1.65 billion XRP. The activity came as XRP traded near $1.33 following a difficult October.
The move reflects sustained transfers over a broader window, not one unusually large transaction. Daily inflows stayed volatile, with a prominent spike in August, while the 30-day line declined from above 1.6 billion XRP earlier in the year, bottomed during the summer, and then climbed again in August and September.

Why it matters
Transfers into a centralized exchange can increase the amount of XRP readily available for trading. CryptoQuant said increased whale inflows to centralized exchanges can raise the risk of selling pressure. But the inflow figure alone cannot establish that those coins have actually been sold, because large holders may move XRP for portfolio rebalancing, collateral needs, internal transfers or access to other Binance services.
A separate CryptoQuant reading recently showed 30-day XRP whale outflows from Binance reaching about 1.38 billion XRP, also a seven-month high. Because the inflow and outflow readings were taken at different points in time, they should not simply be subtracted to calculate a current net-flow figure. The more useful next step is to watch net whale flows.
What the data shows
XRP Insights data for Oct. 15 indicates that publicly attributed exchange wallets collectively control approximately 22.06 billion XRP across 699 wallets associated with 24 exchanges. Upbit leads with approximately 6.44 billion XRP, followed by Coinbase with 5.84 billion and Binance with 2.76 billion. Bithumb ranks fourth with 1.85 billion XRP, while Uphold rounds out the top five with 1.75 billion.
Together, these five platforms account for approximately 18.64 billion XRP, representing nearly 85% of the publicly attributed exchange balances tracked in the dataset. Binance also recorded the largest weekly increase among the leading exchanges, adding approximately 54.6 million XRP to its tracked wallets. Across the broader exchange sample, balances increased by roughly 84 million XRP between Oct. 13 and Oct. 15.
What is still unclear
- Whether the latest whale deposits translate into stronger selling would need to show up in price behavior and trading activity.
- The cumulative inflow figure does not establish how much XRP remains on the exchange.
