*#XRPExchangeReservesHitSevenYearLow* 📦
Big supply shift happening quietly.
### The numbers
- *Exchange reserves*: ~*1.6-1.7B XRP* - lowest in 7 years
- *Down 50%* from Oct 2025 peak of *3.76B XRP*
- *Binance alone*: Down 20% since Nov 2024 to ∼2.6B XRP in its wallets
- *Price context*: XRP trading $AAPLB 1.13-1.14, down ∼70% from July 2025 high $3.65 0f4b

### Where did it go?
1. *Spot ETFs*: U.S. XRP ETFs absorbed *∼970M XRP* and now hold $NVDA.US 1.35B-$1.45B cumulative inflows after 9 straight weeks of inflows
2. *Cold storage*: Long-term holders moving to private wallets
3. *Not back to Ripple*: Escrow still ∼36B XRP, but monthly releases haven't offset the drain
### Why price hasn't pumped yet
This is the weird part - classic supply squeeze setup, but demand is weak:
- Whales distributed 30M+ XRP in 5 days last week
- Daily ETF flows just saw *$AAPLB 5.15M outflow* on Thursday - biggest since Sept 2
- On-chain payment volume is up (1.1B XRP / day), but market buying is thin
- Similar tight float preceded XRP's 2024 rally from <$1 to $3#BTCBreaks80K +
Low float = high sensitivity. Analyst Ali Martinez calls it "constructive" - any incoming demand (like if CLARITY Act passes and unlocks institutional money) hits thin order books and can cause big moves both ways.
*Bottom line*: Sell-side liquidity is at multi-year lows. Scarcity Index at 2-year high. Setup is bullish for volatility, but needs a demand catalyst to turn into price.
