$XRP : Institutional Accumulation Against the Background of Minimum Exchange Reserves
While the price of XRP consolidates around $1.49, fundamental indicators signal serious preparation for the next surge. The market has cleared of rumors, and large players continue to “vacuum” the supply.
📉 Binance reserves at the minimum of 2024
On-chain data is impressive: XRP reserves on Binance fell to 2.5 billion coins.
• For comparison: in November 2024 there were over 3.2 billion.
• What does this mean? The withdrawal of 700 million tokens to cold wallets indicates long-term accumulation and reduced pressure from sellers.
🏛 Goldman Sachs and SBI: Institutional Foundation
The era of “crypto-skepticism” is finally over:
• Goldman Sachs officially disclosed a $152 million position in the XRP ETF (as of Q4 2025). This is about 14% of all net inflows into XRP funds for the year.
• SBI Holdings has dotted the "i": the company owns 9% of Ripple Labs shares (worth ~$4.5 billion), and not the tokens themselves. This is a strategic bet on the ecosystem and infrastructure, which is even more important for the stability of the network.
🔮 Forecast and key levels (according to CoinCodex):
• Short-term: Stabilization in the range of $1.52 - $1.53 is expected in February-March.
• Medium-term: A break above $1.55 will open the way to $1.80.
• Summer 2026: Forecast for August - $2.11 (+42%), with a possible peak in July to $2.19.
⚠️ Critical zone: It is important to hold support at $1.45. A close below this mark may temporarily break the bullish structure.
