XRP Spot Buying Pressure Builds as Rally Outpaces Top-10 Peers
XRP (XRP)
BeInCrypto.com reports that XRP gained 43.7% in the seven days to August 26, marking the strongest run among top-10 coins by market cap. Three distinct demand channels drove this rally, with ETF desks, Korean spot traders, and Binance's largest futures accounts all participating simultaneously. None of these drivers were a simple futures squeeze, indicating a broad-based accumulation phase. This coordinated buying activity propelled XRP to outperform other major assets without a general altcoin season.
What Whalio's data showed
Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was published on 26 August 2026.
Whalio spot data shows a 60.1% buy ratio on the 1-hour timeframe, which is significantly higher than the 53.2% seen over 4 hours and the 49.7% average over 24 hours. This shortening timeframe skew indicates that buying pressure is intensifying in the immediate term rather than fading. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at $1,983,348, contrasting with the negative $2,173,359 delta recorded over the full 24 hours. This divergence suggests that recent spot volume is net bullish, effectively offsetting earlier selling pressure. With 12 of 24 hours showing net buying, the current order flow reflects a decisive shift toward accumulation.
