Ripple Expands RLUSD Access in South Korea With Coinone Listing

XRP is struggling to hold current support levels. The market is uncertain. And 
in the final days of March, the largest XRP holders on two of the world&#8217;s 
biggest exchanges made a decision that the price action is not yet reflecting.

When Demand Returns A CryptoQuant report has documented the strongest wave of 
whale-sized XRP withdrawals since early February. Across two sessions — March 
27 and March 30 — large outflows from Binance and Coinbase combined to reach 
approximately 442 million XRP, worth nearly $592 million at prevailing prices. 
That figure did not accumulate gradually. It arrived in two concentrated 
bursts: $298.8 million on March 27 and $293.5 million on March 30, with 
Coinbase contributing the larger share on both days. The historical context 
makes the magnitude more meaningful. Following the February 6th spike — when 
large XRP outflows reached approximately 530 million XRP in a single day — 
activity had quieted significantly, averaging close to 50 million XRP daily 
through much of March. The late-March surge represents a return to February- 
scale behavior after weeks of relative silence. Nearly $600 million in XRP 
left the two most significant Western exchanges in 48 hours. The coins did not 
go to other exchanges. They left the sell side entirely — and that changes the 
supply equation for whatever comes next. Below February&#8217;s Peak. Miles Above 
March&#8217;s Average. That Gap Is the Signal The report&#8217;s comparative framework is 
where the late-March data finds its proper weight. The February 6th spike — 
530 million XRP in a single day — remains the exceptional reference point of 
this cycle, a reading that has not been matched since. The late-March wave, at 
442 million XRP across two sessions, falls short of that single-day record. 
But framing it against February&#8217;s peak understates its significance. The more 
relevant comparison is what came immediately after February: a sustained 
retreat to roughly 50 million XRP per day through much of March. Against that 
baseline, the late-March readings did not merely recover — they multiplied by 
nearly nine times the recent daily average across two consecutive sessions. 
That reacceleration is what the report identifies as the structural signal. 
Whale-level withdrawal activity does not return to near-February scale after 
weeks of quiet by accident. When outflows of this magnitude reappear after a 
subdued stretch, the pattern consistently points to a renewed and deliberate 
pickup in large-holder movement — participants who had been inactive choosing, 
simultaneously, to act. The market structure consequence is direct. Nearly 
$600 million in XRP moved away from immediate sell-side availability in 48 
hours. That supply is no longer on the exchange. It cannot be sold from where 
it now sits. Whether the holders who withdrew it do so in anticipation of a 
move or simply in preference for custody, the effect on Binance and Coinbase&#8217;s 
available XRP float is the same — and it is meaningful enough to matter for 
short-term price conditions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Are Selling While

Trades Near Support as Multi-Timeframe Weakness Persists On the 3-day 
timeframe, XRP is consolidating around the $1.30 level after a sustained 
decline that has eroded its prior bullish structure. The chart shows a clear 
transition from a mid-2025 expansion phase into a prolonged distribution and 
breakdown, with price now stabilizing near a critical support zone. XRP is 
trading below the 50-period and 100-period moving averages, both of which are 
trending downward and acting as resistance on any recovery attempt. The 
200-period moving average, positioned above the current price, reinforces the 
broader bearish alignment across timeframes. This stacked structure signals 
that sellers remain in control from short to long-term perspectives. Related

Here Is What It Says The February breakdown stands out as a decisive event. 
With a sharp drop accompanied by elevated volume, suggesting aggressive 
distribution or forced liquidations. Since then, the price has entered a 
narrower range between approximately $1.15 and $1.50. Indicating a temporary 
equilibrium but not a confirmed reversal. Recent price action shows repeated 
failures to sustain moves above $1.40, with lower highs continuing to form 
within the range. Volume has declined during consolidation, pointing to 
reduced participation and limited conviction from buyers. As long as XRP 
remains below its key moving averages, the structure favors continuation or 
extended consolidation, with the $1.15–$1.20 zone acting as the next critical 
support if current levels fail. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from
