XRP is up almost 40% in two weeks.
Most people assume that means leverage is piling in.
The data says the opposite.
Total futures open interest across exchanges actually fell 16% during the same stretch. Traders were cutting positions, not adding them.
The one place open interest did rise: CME. Institutional exposure there climbed about 36%, pushing its share of the total market from 10% to 17%.
Retail is de-risking. Institutions are stepping in through the regulated venue.
That's not the setup for a leverage-driven blowoff top. It's the setup for a rally that professional money is quietly accumulating into.
Doesn't mean it continues. A CLARITY Act vote is coming in mid-September, and that alone has moved this asset all year.
But when price rises and leverage falls, that's usually not the crowd you need to worry about.
