XRP\u2019s trading conditions on Binance have deteriorated sharply, according to a new analysis by market expert Sam Daodu. Daodu points to a 30-day liquidity index that has fallen to roughly 0.043, the lowest level since January 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For context, between 2022 and 2024 the same index typically sat above 3\u2014and at times above 4\u2014signaling a much deeper and more active market.<\/p>\n

XRP Liquidity Thins<\/h2>\n

What makes this shift stand out is that it appears to have happened while price strength was holding up. Daodu says <\/a>market depth thinned out as XRP pushed to new highs in 2025, then continued to thin even as the token maintained its current trading range this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The liquidity drop was reflected in exchange flows. Between May 3 and May 15, around 403 million XRP left Binance, with large wallets withdrawing tokens almost every session.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pattern resurfaced on May 22: whales removed $49.2 million worth of XRP while the price remained below $1.35. Daodu notes that similar behavior also showed up in late February and twice in March, again around the $1.35 to $1.40 area.<\/p>\n

On the surface, withdrawals <\/a>can look like a quiet positive because they reduce potential sell-side supply on the exchange. But Daodu\u2019s key point is that removing coins from Binance doesn\u2019t automatically produce a rebound. Price still depends on buyers showing up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CryptoQuant\u2019s interpretation adds another layer: the drain appears less like long-term investors losing confidence and more like a change in who holds XRP and where that liquidity sits.<\/p>\n

CryptoQuant\u2019s Explanation<\/h2>\n

CryptoQuant suggests large holders may be relocating XRP from Binance to venues such as over-the-counter (OTC) desks<\/a> and regulated funds\u2014places institutions typically use to trade large sizes privately.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In that reading, XRP isn\u2019t necessarily being dumped into the market. Instead, it\u2019s being moved beyond the reach of the retail order book, which is why liquidity on Binance is thinning while the token\u2019s broader narrative can remain intact.<\/p>\n

This distinction matters because a thinner order book <\/a>changes how XRP\u2019s price reacts to trades. Daodu explains that when there are fewer orders resting near the current price, there\u2019s less liquidity to absorb incoming market activity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That means even a single medium-sized order\u2014something that might barely register in a deeper environment\u2014can move XRP by roughly 4% to 5% on its own.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Neither And Both\u2019 Read<\/p>\n

The same thinness that makes sell-offs more painful can also make rallies more dramatic. If buyers return with size, there may be little resistance in the form of resting sell orders<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In that scenario, a wave of positive news or even one large buyer could push XRP higher quickly, because there\u2019s less in the way to slow the move.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So is the liquidity drop a red flag or a bullish setup? Based on the data, Daodu\u2019s framing is that it\u2019s both \u201cneither and both.\u201d A five-year liquidity low isn\u2019t, by itself, a crash signal. But it also isn\u2019t an all-clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the market\u2019s \u201cusual cushion\u201d stripped away, XRP appears caught between durable support<\/a> and an unusually hollow order book, leaving the next significant volume wave to decide the outcome.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"XRP\"<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the altcoin was trading at the lowest point of its three-month consolidation range, at $1.32. This represented a 5% drop over the course of the month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
