The assets were routed through an intermediary wallet before being forwarded to a Coinbase address. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Normally, large exchange inflows suggest that investors may be planning to sell or restructure their positions, as assets are more readily tradable on exchanges. <\/span><span>Then again, transfers like this point to asset repositioning, over-the-counter settlements, or custody transfers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Even so, the size and timing of the whale transfer are significant for those watching this payments-focused crypto, as large flows can sway sentiment despite uncertain motives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At the same time, XRP\u2019s derivatives market continues to show signs of weakness. According to data from Glassnode, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptopolitan.com\/xrp-open-interest-recovers-on-binance\/\">XRP open interest<\/a> has dropped significantly since the October 2025 market crash, when a wave of liquidations wiped out leveraged positions.<\/p>\n<h3><span>XRP open interest declined to roughly $2.01 billion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Open interest fell from roughly 7 billion XRP in early October 2025 to about 2 billion XRP, marking a 71% collapse. Since then, it has declined further to approximately 1.5 billion XRP, indicating that traders have yet to return to the market in meaningful numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Glassnode<\/span><\/span> also showed that XRP investors who bought above the $2 mark in the past year have been realizing losses of $20 million and as much as $110M each day since November 2025.<\/p>\n<p><span>In response to that analysis, Bitcoin Fair Value <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BitcoinFV\/status\/2043692629615886528?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span>suggested<\/span><\/a><span> that deleveraging is a much-needed reset that would shake off the speculators, making the underlying price trend more sustainable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Before October last year, XRP open interest was on the rise. CoinGlass showed that XRP open interest soared by billions, peaking at over $10 billion in July 2025, up from about $4 billion in June 2025. The increase in OI coincided with a price rise to a new all-time high of $3.6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The market didn\u2019t just die out after the July high\u2014active positions stayed remarkably high for the next few months, ranging between $7.3 billion and $8.2 billion. However, after the Oct. 10, 2025, crypto market crash, XRP OI shrank by over $5.5 billion in just twelve days. The slow bleed didn\u2019t stop there\u2014XRP\u2019s betting volume hovered around $3 billion until January before slipping even lower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So far, data from Santiment shows that XRP retail sentiment has declined to its third-weakest reading in two years. The positive-to-negative ratio of XRP comments on X and Reddit has entered the FUD zone. The analytics firm has argued that when sentiment becomes this negative, short-term price rebounds have often followed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Nonetheless, the firm\u2019s analysts noted that asset prices could rise despite prevailing crowd sentiment. They contended, \u201cHistorically, when bullish comments get replaced by this level of bearish ones, the probability of a relief rally climbs significantly higher.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>They also stated that, with retail traders bailing after the XRP\u2019s 63% nine-month drop, the current gloom is a prime opportunity for patient buyers to step in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">As XRP navigates this phase of heavy deleveraging and shifting sentiment, the convergence of weakening derivatives activity and significant whale movements is keeping traders on edge.<\/p>\n<p>For now, XRP remains at a crossroads, with market participants closely watching whether this period of caution evolves into renewed momentum or further downside pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-news-ad\" data-rand=\"0.901304\">Still letting the bank keep the best part?
