Context

Analyst reports rising exchange inflows and declining large‑wallet holdings suggest weakening support for XRP, raising risk of a drop toward $0.98.

Expected impact

likely pressure as whales sell and exchange balances rise

Evidence & confidence

Large‑wallet exits and higher on‑exchange supply typically drive price lower in the short term.

Market effects

Sector

May signal broader risk for other high‑volume crypto assets if whale exits become systemic.

Regional

Limited to markets with high XRP trading volume, primarily North America and Europe.

Global

Modest impact on overall crypto market sentiment due to XRP’s sizable market cap.
