XRP Price is showing signs of weakness in the short term. The altcoin has slipped below its rising support line and is now trading under $1.450, which suggests buyers may be losing control.
The crypto market is also back inside its previous range. Unless XRP reclaims the $1.452–$1.465 zone, upside could remain limited, and any bounce into that area may face selling pressure. If the price falls below $1.4236, the next level to watch is around $1.387.
Ripple XRP Supply Drops, but Buyers Still Present
XRP reserves on Binance have dropped sharply from about $10 billion in July 2025 to roughly $3.9 billion in March 2026, a decline of around 61%.
This drop could be due to investors moving funds into private wallets, institutional accumulation, transfers to other platforms, or usage in DeFi and on-chain activity.
At the same time, order book data shows stronger buy-side depth than sell-side pressure. This suggests there is solid support at lower levels, and it may take less capital to push prices up than to push them down.
XRP ETF Sees Losses and Limited Inflows
Institutional signals are mixed. A fund from Bitwise Asset Management reported a net loss of $25.937 million, entirely due to unrealized losses on its XRP holdings. The fund holds 131.2 million XRP, reported no investment income, and recorded a loss of $2.31 per share. It was launched on November 19, 2025, with trading starting the next day, and it only sells XRP when needed to cover expenses.
More broadly, XRP ETFs in the U.S. have seen only four days of inflows in March, compared to six days of outflows. Total assets under management currently stand at about $1.02 billion.
XRPL Network Growth Continues
According to data from Santiment, the XRP Ledger continues to grow despite recent price pressure. There are now about 5.66 million wallets holding less than 100 XRP, around 2.01 million wallets holding between 100 and 100,000 XRP, and 32,054 wallets holding more than 100,000 XRP.
This steady increase across small, mid-sized, and large holders suggests that user participation remains strong even as overall market sentiment stays cautious.
Short-term momentum looks weak unless key levels are reclaimed, but falling exchange supply and steady network growth show that the interest in XRP has not disappeared.
