XRP Derivatives Market Sees Highest Selling Pressure Since 2026
XRP's derivatives market is showing its strongest net selling pressure of 2026, with Binance recording roughly $96 million in sell-side dominance. The surge follows a sharp XRP rally of about 70%, increasing speculative activity among derivatives traders.
Despite the bearish signal, XRP remains above $1.40 while Binance Open Interest has climbed 14.8%, indicating stronger market participation. This divergence between aggressive derivatives selling and resilient spot prices is giving traders a key signal to watch.
The broader altcoin market has also strengthened in recent sessions, adding more than $183 billion in total capitalization within a few days. That represented an increase of roughly 20%, while XRP gained about 70% over the same period, making it one of the stronger performers during the recovery.
