XRP holds $1.45 as Binance whale outflows hit seven-month high

What happened

XRP traded near $1.48 and was down 1.4% in 24 hours, Coinspeaker reported. CoinGape put the daily decline at 2.3% and linked it to a wider crypto downtrend caused by long liquidations.

CryptoQuant data cited by CoinGape showed the 30-day sum of XRP outflows from Binance rising to 1.38 billion XRP. Analyst Arab Chain said this was the highest whale outflow in seven months and read it as large holders keeping coins away from the exchange instead of leaving them ready for sale.

Coinspeaker cited CryptoQuant reporting about 1.6 billion XRP flowing into Binance over 30 days, adding that inflows alone do not confirm selling. Binance's reserve fell from 2.704 billion to 2.631 billion XRP between September 26 and October 4.

On the four-hour chart, XRP consolidated inside a falling wedge. CoinGape said a close above $1.51 could open a push toward the September high of $1.65, while the ADX and an RSI at 38 pointed to a downtrend with support at $1.43. Canada's CDCC also listed options on the XRP Evolve ETF and the XRP Purpose ETF, BankXRP noted.

Why it matters

The whale data changes where coins sit, not necessarily whether they are sold. Coinspeaker wrote that an exchange inflow is not a sell order and that falling reserves can point to less immediately available supply, and it kept its forecast conditional on $1.45 holding.

Coinspeaker added that a retreat toward support sharpens the downside risk, with $1.38 cited as the next level if $1.46 gives way. CoinGape tied the bearish case to Bitcoin breaking resistance at $86,000, which it said could shift sentiment toward bulls across altcoins.

What the data shows

Spot XRP ETFs drew net inflows of 2.08M XRP on October 6, below the 14.76M recorded on September 25. Bitwise added 7.00M, while Canary (−2.22M) and Franklin (−2.70M) saw outflows, and cumulative net inflows since November 14, 2025 stand at 978.05M XRP.

CoinGlass data showed open interest at 2.37 billion coins on October 6, up from 2.32 billion coins on October 4, while the long/short ratio fell to 0.92. Santiment's bullish-to-bearish ratio dropped to 0.67, its weakest since August 17.

Market cap was $93.01B, 24-hour volume was $2.13B and perpetual futures open interest was $4.62B. The daily chart marks $1.6238 as resistance and $1.2507 as support.

What is still unclear

• The figures come from different measures and periods, so none of them shows what holders will do next.
• The two reports describe the recent daily move differently, at 1.4% and 2.3%.
• ETF demand looks strong in one dataset and slower in another, with Ripple products among the few to see inflows on October 6.
