Record Whale Holdings: Wallets holding over 10 million XRP now control 68.5% of the circulating supply, the highest since 2018, which, while often seen as bullish, also poses a risk of concentrated selling pressure if large holders decide to exit.
Exchange Reserves Plummet: XRP reserves on exchanges have fallen to approximately 1.6 billion tokens, down about 50% from the 3.76 billion peak in October 2025, indicating a significant compression of sellable liquidity that could lead to violent price movements when demand surges.
Shifting Supply-Demand Dynamics: The dramatic decrease in exchange reserves means that the available supply of XRP for sale has significantly diminished, suggesting that when demand arrives, prices may rise sharply due to insufficient supply to meet it, making this supply-demand imbalance critical for investors.
Potential Impact of the CLARITY Act: Should the CLARITY Act pass, it could unlock between $4 billion and $8 billion in ETF inflows for XRP, and combined with the current tight supply conditions, this could lead to substantial price volatility, necessitating careful risk assessment by investors.
