【Crypto World】Although XRP is expected to decline by 12% this year, on-chain data reveals interesting signals. The unlocking of $1 billion in custodial funds sounds like significant pressure, but the key point is that the exchange reserves of XRP are continuously decreasing — in Q4 alone, 300 million tokens were reduced, and from the beginning of the year until now, the amount dropped from 3 billion XRP to 2.6 billion. This suggests the market is gradually accumulating. Technically, XRP has been trading around the $1.80 level for several weeks. During the sideways period, over 70% of perpetual contracts are long positions, indicating traders are betting on a rebound once regulatory clarity is achieved. So rather than XRP collapsing, it’s more like the market is gathering strength at a low level.

Exchange reserves are dropping straight down, this is no coincidence, everyone. Smart money is quietly accumulating. Once regulation is implemented, XRP is really going to take off. The gamblers all see through this game. Sideways consolidation at low levels is just a deep breath before going long. Over 70% of the bulls are already full. Talking about a 12% drop? I think it's actually giving the bottom enough bullets. Once the accumulation process starts, looking back at the current price will seem like a bargain. Every day people say XRP is doomed, but on-chain data tells a different story. Reserves have dropped from 3 billion to 2.6 billion, which is telling us it's time to take action, right?

Exchange reserves are really decreasing, and many people haven't noticed this detail... The signal of accumulation at low levels is still quite obvious.

On-chain data doesn't lie; the signs of accumulation are too obvious. Exchange reserves have dropped from 3 billion to 2.6 billion, indicating that the chips are quietly shifting. Over 70% of longs are waiting for regulations to be implemented, and I am betting on this wave. Accumulating at low levels, time will prove it.

The data is indeed impressive, but the question is when will this 70% long position be realized... Let's wait and see, we've already touched the historical lows, but as for regulation, it's uncertain.

ngl, the 300M XRP exodus from exchanges in Q4 is empirically more relevant than the escrow unlock noise. data suggests actual accumulation happening here, not panic selling—though i'd want to see voting participation rates before declaring this some grassroots governance moment. 70% long positions screams sentiment bias, not fundamental protocol health tbh

Exchange reserves are dropping rapidly. Isn't this a sign of accumulation? Why are some people still saying XRP is doomed? I've heard the logic of accumulating at low levels many times, but this time the data is indeed a bit interesting. More than 70% of longs don't dare to short, betting on the regulatory environment to ease up.
