Per the chart shared by CryptoQuant, there are three distinct periods marking whale token movements to Binance since April 2022. The first comes around November 2022 when large buyers moved 2.4 billion XRP to the trading platform. Also, April 2024 saw a bump in this figure to 2.8 billion XRP. The current figure 2.6 billion XRP underscores sustained interest in the coin.
There are different explanations that addresses the XRP whale movement to Binanc. According to J.A. Maartun’s analysis, this trend often connote a change in activity. It could signal selloff signs as top crypto trading platforms boasts of a robust liquidity to cushion the withdrawal demands.
With Ripple escrow intervention, this XRP market liquidity is balanced out, helping to sustain the coin’s price.
At the time of writing, the price of XRP was changing hands for $2.25, down by 3.3% in 24 hours. For a coin that dropped to a low of $1.912 within the same time span, this recovery is considered a positive sign for the coin.
The recovery comes after Ripple Labs announced it has secured approval for RLUSD stablecoin in New York. The license from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) paves the way for the stablecoin to launch on its pre-revealed partner platforms.
As a token in the broader XRP ecosystem, the RLUSD stablecoin may favor the ongoing revival in the price of the coin.
