XRP exchange reserves fell $1.32b in a month as price slid below the 50- and 200-day SMAs near $2, signaling thinner liquidity and a fragile, trendless setup.
Summary
- CryptoQuant data show XRP exchange reserves dropping from about $7.03b to $5.70b between Nov. 10 and Dec. 10, an 18.8% slide.
- XRP trades near $2.08, below its 50-day SMA around $2.30 and 200-day SMA near $2.62, with weekly performance slightly negative.
- The 14-day RSI hovers near 47, implying neutral momentum but leaving room for volatility as shrinking reserves cut available liquidity.
The value of XRP (XRP) reserves held on cryptocurrency exchanges declined by more than $1 billion over a one-month period, according to on-chain data from CryptoQuant retrieved by Finbold.
Exchange reserve values fell from $7.03 billion on November 10, 2025, to $5.70 billion by December 10, 2025, representing a decrease of $1.32 billion or 18.83%, the data showed. XRP traded at $2.50 on November 10, according to the report.
XRP price eyes rebound
The declining reserves occurred alongside price movements that suggest traders withdrew XRP from exchanges or reduced positions, according to the data. Reserve levels showed notable drops in early November, a brief recovery in late November, and another decline in early December, the data indicated.
The reduction in exchange reserves points to decreased market liquidity, as fewer tokens remain available on exchanges, according to market analysts. Lower liquidity typically increases an asset’s vulnerability to price volatility, the report noted.
The decline occurred during a period when XRP struggled to maintain the $2 support level amid broader cryptocurrency market conditions, according to the report. This persisted despite U.S. spot exchange-traded funds recording sustained inflows under bearish market conditions, the data showed.
XRP traded at $2.08 at press time, up approximately 0.6% in the previous 24 hours but down roughly 5% for the week, according to Finbold data.
The cryptocurrency’s price remained below its 50-day simple moving average of $2.30 and 200-day simple moving average of $2.62, indicating a bearish short- to medium-term trend, according to technical analysis. The 14-day Relative Strength Index stood at 47.18, a neutral reading that suggests limited immediate momentum for reversal but potential stabilization if buying pressure increases toward the 50 level, analysts said.
