Bybit surpasses Binance in $XRP open interest volume
Notably, Bybit had a total volume of $215.77 million in $XRP open interest. This puts it over $12 million above Binance known to take the lead. Following the reversed gain, Binance recorded $202.88 million in trade volume.
Other exchanges such as BitMEX ($5.3 million), Kraken ($4.4 million), Bitfinex ($3.5 million) and Huobi ($2.3 million) all registered transaction volumes in units of millions. However, OKX was an exception to the lesser transacted volumes with a $44.6 million flow.

These open-interest data are significant to investors because they provide insights into market speculation. A rise in open interest signals uptrends, while the opposite holds for dipping open interest figures.
Will $XRP resilience fuel rebound?
As per $XRP, the asset recorded a staggering leap in volume by 566% shortly after the Ripple penalty verdict as investors jumped on the train. At the same time, the open interest data surged by over 49%. Analysts attributed this to renewed optimism on the part of investors.
However, the recent slump in the open interest figures and a notable slip in the market price of $XRP signals that $XRP needs more support to guarantee stability.
The current performance of $XRP open interest stands in sharp contrast to the bullish momentum registered in July. Market observers remain optimistic that $XRP's resilience might help the asset in the long run now that the legal battles with the U.S. SEC are over.
