The asset has corrected roughly 40% since the start of the year, with the decline pushing it down to a 15-month low near the $1.00 level earlier in the month.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, the Ripple token was trading at around $1.42, down 4.5% in the last 24 hours and 27% over the past month, based on data from CoinGecko. Over a year, XRP has fallen by more than 44% and currently sits 61% below its all-time high of $3.65 reached in July 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the token has risen about 3% in the last week, outperforming the broader crypto market\u2019s 1.4% gain in the same period. Daily trading volume has also climbed about 6% to just over $2.3 billion, a sign of increased activity even with prices slipping.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Sentiment Diverges From Price Action<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the price pressure, XRP has continued to attract attention from investors and analysts, with Grayscale recently <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/grayscale-says-xrp-is-second-most-talked-about-asset-after-bitcoin\/\">identifying<\/a> it as the second-most discussed asset in its community after Bitcoin (BTC).<\/p>\n<p>The firm\u2019s head of product and research, Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, said during Ripple Community Day that clients frequently ask about XRP and related products tied to the Ripple ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a recent report from CoinShares <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/crypto-funds-see-4th-week-of-outflows-but-xrp-and-sol-shine-coinshares-report\/\">showed<\/a> XRP-linked funds drew about $33 million in inflows at a time when crypto investment products associated with heavyweights like Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) suffered a fourth straight week of outflows.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, some market observers and traditional financial institutions have tempered expectations about XRP\u2019s performance this year. For instance, banking giant Standard Chartered slashed its year-end XRP price target by 65%, pushing down its forecast from $8.00 to $2.80, citing challenging near-term conditions across digital assets. The firm also lowered forecasts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana (SOL).<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/200m-xrp-pulled-from-binance-bullish-signal-or-false-alarm\/\">200M XRP Pulled From Binance \u2013 Bullish Signal or False Alarm?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP holders have moved approximately 200 million tokens off the Binance exchange over the past ten days, according to CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost.
