Data from CryptoQuant reveals that 472 million XRP, valued at approximately 652 million dollars, flowed into Binance following military strikes on Iran, increasing uncertainty across the crypto market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran over the weekend drove more than 472 million XRP onto Binance, marking the largest exchange inflow recorded in February. The substantial transfer of tokens to the exchange suggests that some investors may be preparing to sell, potentially putting downward pressure on XRP in the near term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geopolitical Turmoil Impacts XRP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after traditional markets closed last Friday, the United States and Israel carried out strikes on Iran, resulting in the reported death of Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, the timing intensified uncertainty across risk sensitive assets, with cryptocurrencies reacting swiftly to the unfolding events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exchange data indicates that Binance received more than 472 million XRP during the past week, with the largest daily inflows occurring toward the end of February. Moving large quantities of tokens onto exchanges is often viewed as a signal that holders may be preparing to sell or seeking liquidity during volatile conditions. Darkfost explained that inflows of this scale can set the stage for sudden selling pressure, influencing short term price movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XRP experienced sharp price swings on Saturday, falling from 1.43 dollars to 1.27 dollars before rebounding after initial reports of Khamenei\u2019s death surfaced. The token later recovered close to its previous level, highlighting how geopolitical developments are shaping short term trading behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surge in exchange inflows comes as XRP exchange traded funds show slowing momentum. Following a strong debut in November 2025 that drove cumulative net inflows above 1 billion dollars within a month, activity has cooled significantly. In the final full week of February, funds attracted only 9.55 million dollars, and total inflows over the past two months have reached just 240 million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XRP Maintains Key Support Level<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, XRP was trading near 1.35 dollars, reflecting a 1.3 percent decline over the past 24 hours and a 1 percent drop over the past week, according to CoinGecko. During the recent volatility, the token touched a weekly low of 1.28 dollars and a high of 1.48 dollars, with the 1.30 dollar level acting as support during Saturday\u2019s sell off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Futures data from CoinGlass shows that XRP liquidations totaled 5.37 million dollars in the last 24 hours, with long positions accounting for 3.70 million dollars of that figure. Open interest currently stands at 2.14 billion dollars, while combined spot and futures trading volume reached approximately 5.2 billion dollars over the same period. The liquidation data indicates that leveraged long traders absorbed most of the impact from the weekend\u2019s volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the large inflows to Binance do not guarantee immediate selling, transfers of this magnitude can alter market dynamics even without a full scale sell off. It remains unclear whether this development signals the start of a broader distribution phase or simply reflects short term reactions to ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
