⚪ $XRP: Funding Crosses Zero While the Transfer Channel Stays Sealed 1️⃣ $XRP closed at $1.413 on Sep 5 as #Binance funding printed -0.002 — the first sub-zero reading in 14 sessions. 2️⃣ A two-way flush preceded it: $4.67M short liquidations on Sep 3, then $8.23M long liquidations on Sep 4 — ~$14.2M cleared both ways in 48h. 3️⃣ Open interest eased from $558M → $478M (-14%), leverage ratio from 0.203 → 0.182 vs. a 6M mean of 0.164. 4️⃣ Spot stayed out: #Binance inflow/outflow ran at just 6.6% and 2.1% of their 6M means, deposit addresses down to 36 (-91%). 5️⃣ Reserve functionally flat at 2.6176B $XRP — and 88% of weekly inflow came from one single session. 6️⃣ Positioning has cleared, supply hasn’t moved. This may set up base-building once funding normalizes — or a thinner-liquidity retracement if reserves start rising. #Crypto #CryptoQuant #Ripple
