Binance and Upbit have witnessed a significant outflow of $12.4 billion worth of XRP in the past week, accounting for approximately 10% of the total XRP in circulation.
South Korea's Upbit experienced the largest reduction in XRP reserves, losing nearly 5 billion tokens, while Binance saw a decrease in its XRP stash as well.
Analysts speculate that the substantial withdrawals may indicate a potential supply squeeze, with discussions surrounding users moving XRP off exchanges in anticipation of market shifts.
Despite a cooling off in short-term trading and a drop in trading volume, XRP's technical setup shows signs of recovery, with recent market activity driven by factors like the possibility of a court settlement and geopolitical tensions easing.
