XRP reserves on Binance drop by 45%. Is a price increase ahead?
Over the past year, reserves of XRP held on Binance have declined sharply. On January 18, 2025, the total value of XRP tokens on Binance stood at $10.16 billion.
By January 17, 2026, this figure had fallen to $5.55 billion, representing a decline of roughly 45% in XRP reserves over 12 months (according to CryptoQuant).

The reduction in XRP reserves on Binance suggests that investors are moving their assets to personal wallets or long-term storage, a behavior typically associated with accumulation rather than short-term selling. With fewer XRP available on exchanges, any increase in demand could have a disproportionate impact on price.
At present, XRP is trading at $1.97, down 4% on the day and 3.6% over the past week.
At current levels, the token is hovering near its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at around $2.02, indicating that short-term price support is under pressure.
The much higher 200-day moving average at $2.53 points to a bearish market structure, showing that XRP remains below its long-term trend. A sustained move higher would be required to signal a meaningful trend reversal.
The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) stands at approximately 50.7, in neutral territory, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions.
