The value of XRP reserves held on exchanges has seen a sharp decline, decreasing by more than $1 billion in the last month.
On November 10, 2025, the value was $7.03 billion, with XRP priced at $2.50. By December 10, 2025, the value of reserves had fallen to $5.70 billion, reflecting a decrease of $1.32 billion, according to the latest on-chain data obtained by Finbold from CryptoQuant.
This reduction represents a decrease of 18.83% in XRP reserves over the period of one month.
Notably, the decline in reserves coincides with price movements suggesting that investors are withdrawing XRP from exchanges or reducing their positions. Data shows fluctuating reserve levels, with significant drops in early November, a brief recovery at the end of November, and a new sharp decline in early December.
This pattern may indicate that market participants are becoming more cautious, possibly abandoning speculative positions or taking profits during periods of high volatility.
Impact on the price of XRP
At the same time, the decline in exchange reserves points to a reduction in market liquidity, as there are fewer tokens available on exchanges. Lower liquidity generally increases an asset's vulnerability to large price swings, which can compromise the price stability of XRP.
Along with lower trading prices, the reduction in reserves suggests weaker short-term demand for XRP, which may continue to pressure its valuation.
The decline occurs during a period when XRP has struggled to maintain important support levels, such as $2, pressured by the overall sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.
This decline persisted despite U.S. spot ETFs recording continuous inflows, even in bearish market conditions.
XRP Price Analysis
At the time of publishing this news, XRP was trading at $2.08, with an increase of about 0.6% in the last 24 hours, while accumulating a decline of approximately 5% for the week.
The price of XRP remains notably below its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $2.30 and its 200-day SMA of $2.62, reinforcing a bearish trend in the short to medium term, as the asset is trading in a bearish trend territory without bullish crossover support.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 47.18, a neutral reading that suggests limited immediate momentum for a reversal, but potential stabilization if buying pressure pushes it toward the 50 level.
Remember folks, that nothing said here constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold assets.
