$XRP whale inflows to Binance have fallen to their lowest level since November 2021, according to CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain.
The 30-day cumulative inflow reading dropped from about 2.6 billion $XRP in early March to nearly 736 million $XRP.
Large transfers to exchanges often draw attention because they can show possible selling or portfolio changes. A lower inflow reading can reduce the risk of sudden sell orders from large holders, especially during volatile market periods.
The latest drop also matches earlier crypto.news coverage, which reported that $XRP whale inflows to Binance had already fallen to multi-year lows in January. At that time, the trend pointed to lower short-term selling pressure as $XRP tried to hold its range.
Price stays near key resistance
Ripple’s native token ($XRP) traded near $1.42, with a 24-hour trading volume above $2.64 billion and a market cap near $87.5 billion, according to crypto.news data. The token was down about 1.4% on the day but remained up 3.5% over the past seven days.
Analyst Ali Martinez said $XRP needs a confirmed move above $1.45 to bring $1.80 back into focus. “A confirmed close above $1.45 could open the door to $1.80,” he said, according to market commentary shared on X.
That level remains important because $XRP recently failed to hold above the same resistance area. Until buyers reclaim it with steady volume, the token may continue to trade inside a familiar range.
ETF demand adds market support
$XRP has also gained support from ETF-related demand. As Crypto.news reported, U.S.-listed $XRP ETF products pulled in $81.63 million in April, marking their strongest monthly inflow total of 2026.
That April inflow fully reversed March’s record monthly loss. $XRP ETFs built a 20-day inflow streak before that run ended on April 30.
The ETF trend gives $XRP another demand source at a time when Binance whale deposits are slowing. However, inflows alone have not pushed $XRP into a clear breakout. Price action still depends on whether buyers can clear the $1.45 area.
Bulls watch $3.35 long-term level
Some analysts are also watching $XRP’s higher timeframe setup. Market commentary from CW said $XRP is showing a bullish signal on the three-week chart after the RSI crossed above its moving average.
The same analysis said the bigger rally would require a break above the old high near $3.35. That level sits far above the current market price and remains a long-term resistance zone.
