XRP Exchange Reserves Rise to 240,000 Coins as Retail Investors Keep Buying Despite Price Struggles
The latest XRP news shows a strong rise in XRP retail investment. Small investors are growing fast. Data shows 5.66 million XRP wallets now hold less than 100 coins. This is the highest number ever.
This growth has been steady. Small investors kept buying XRP for over a year. They continued even when the price did not move much. This shows strong trust from retail buyers.
Rising Retail Confidence
Mid-level investors also increased. Wallets holding 100 to 100,000 XRP crossed 2 million. This group adds balance to the market. It shows more people are joining with bigger amounts.
But large investors show a different trend. Wallets with over 100,000 XRP have dropped. The number fell from over 33,000 last year to just above 32,000 now. This means whales are stepping back.
Whale Activity Weakens
XRP exchange reserves also moved up. Around 240,000 XRP flowed back into exchanges in recent weeks. These levels match November 2025. Higher reserves often mean more selling pressure. This keeps prices low.
XRP price is still not moving much. It went up to $1.60 earlier this month. But it could not stay there. The price dropped to around $1.39. It is now back in the same range seen in February.
Price Struggles Continue
Other big coins performed better. Bitcoin and Ethereum saw good gains in early March. XRP also rose about 15%. But it failed to break its resistance level.
Institutional demand remains weak. XRP ETF flows stayed mostly negative in mid March. Some money came back later. But the flow stayed low. Big investors are still cautious.
Technical signals show mixed signs. RSI remains slightly high. Retail buying is helping the price stay stable. But weak support from whales increases risk. Any market drop could push XRP lower.
The current XRP news shows a clear gap. Retail investors are active and growing. Big investors are still waiting. XRP wallets continue to rise, but XRP price needs strong support to move higher.
