XRP Exchange Reserves Surge as Binance Leads Inflow

Singapore, September 11, 2025 – XRP exchange reserves climbed by 1.2 billion tokens in just 24 hours, with Binance contributing 610 million XRP, according to CryptoQuant. The increase pushed total reserves on major exchanges to 7.2 billion tokens, valued above $3.6 billion at current prices of $0.50 per XRP. Other contributors included Bithumb, Bybit, and OKX.

This sudden jump has fueled speculation over whether the inflow signals potential sell pressure or strategic accumulation.

Historical context of XRP exchange reserves

XRP reserves have long been a barometer of market sentiment. During the 2017 bull run, they peaked at 10 billion tokens, while the 2020 SEC lawsuit triggered significant outflows. By mid-2025, holdings on exchanges stabilized at around 6 billion tokens.

The latest increase, led by Binance, lifted its holdings from 2.928 billion to 3.538 billion XRP. The move follows Ripple’s partial legal win in 2023, which helped XRP’s price hit $0.60.

Market impact and long-term outlook

Rising XRP reserves on exchanges typically suggest looming sell pressure, potentially limiting short-term price growth. Analysts warn of a possible pullback to $0.48 if selling accelerates. Yet, the timing—coming after a 7% breakout above $0.55 on September 9 and amid ETF speculation—indicates possible accumulation.

Over the next decade, sustained growth in exchange-held XRP could strengthen its role as a bridge asset in global remittances. Ripple’s ecosystem may expand toward tokenized payment solutions, positioning XRP to challenge competitors and influence the future of decentralized finance.
