Binance Sees Surge in Whales Driving XRP Outflows

CryptoQuant has reported an unusual surge in whale activity for XRP on Binance. The seven-day moving average of whale dominance in XRP outflows from Binance rose to 81% on August 3rd, marking the second-highest level since June 11th when it was 81.3%. This indicates that four-fifths of XRP outflows from Binance originated from whale-sized transfers.

On the same date, individual investors' share decreased to 18%, mirroring the level seen on June 11th. However, a more balanced distribution was observed across all centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, with whale dominance at 72% and individual investors' share at 27%. This means that whale dominance on Binance is approximately 9 points higher than the overall average for centralized exchanges.

CryptoQuant noted a change in the XRP outflow pattern across centralized exchanges compared to July 2nd. During this period, whale dominance decreased from 79% to 72%, while individual investors' share increased from 20% to 27%. This shift indicates that XRP outflows across the general market are less concentrated among large investors.
