XRP Binance Supply Drops 500 Million Tokens
XRP (XRP)

bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that XRP supply on Binance has decreased by approximately 500 million tokens, reducing the monthly average from over 3.1 billion in November 2025 to about 2.6 billion as of September 1, 2026. This withdrawal of hundreds of millions of tokens signals sustained investor demand and leaves fewer tokens available for immediate selling. The shrinking reserve metric has drawn attention from market analysts, particularly because XRP remained volatile during this period of supply contraction.
Although the asset ended August with a 30% gain, it is currently trading around $1.35, which is still significantly below its previous high of $3.66. The data indicates that at least some participants are accumulating the token for the longer term, potentially reducing sell pressure. This reduction in exchange supply is viewed as a bullish signal that could contribute to a future price recovery.
The move coincides with what was described as the best-performing month for XRP so far in 2026. Despite the recent parabolic price move, the asset remains about 63% away from setting a new all-time high. CryptoQuant data confirms the scale of the supply shift, highlighting the extent to which holders are moving assets off the exchange.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 2 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is trading at $1.35 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.2%, indicating that buyers are currently in control of the market flow. The 1-hour buy ratio sits lower at 46.6%, suggesting that short-term momentum is slightly weaker than the broader daily trend. However, the 4-hour buy ratio of 52.4% aligns with the daily average, showing that buying pressure is stabilizing over the medium term. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at $6,740,623, meaning that the total value of buy orders exceeded sell orders over the last day. This net inflow of capital supports the current price level against the backdrop of reduced exchange supply. The positive volume delta confirms that aggressive buying is outweighing selling pressure in the spot market.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 83rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.5% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XRP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, XRP experienced a 5.8% price decline with a negative volume delta of -$2,872,673. Today's 24-hour buy ratio of 52.2% is 2.6 percentage points higher than the 7-day average of 49.6%, marking a shift toward stronger buying activity. Volume today is at 0.78x the weekly average, indicating that trading activity is lighter than usual despite the improved buy ratio. While the weekly trend was bearish with only three days of net buying out of seven, today shows a reversal in sentiment. This represents an unusual day for the coin compared to the preceding week's overall negative flow.
