The chart shared by the analyst shows that whale flows on the XRP Ledger recently flipped into negative territory. πŸ“‰ Like a toddler with a cookie, the whales are taking their share and running. πŸͺ

A similar pattern, for instance, could be seen in early 2025, when the price of the token reached a local peak. This coincided with sustained whale distribution. Of course, the XRP token suffered a major correction back then. 🀯 Remember when we thought we were on top of the world? Now we’re just a footnote in the XRP saga. πŸ“œ

At the same, open interest (OI), which measures the total value of outstanding XRP futures and options contracts, currently stands at $8.11 billion. This represents a 3.55% increase over the past 24 hours. πŸ’° CME’s XRP futures are gaining more popularity with a 16% increase increase in OI. As reported by U.Today, they recently became the fastest contract of the Chicago-based trading behemoth to reach $1 billion in OI. πŸš€ The OI is on a rollercoaster, and it’s not the fun kind. 🎒
