XRP exchange outflows drop after 24 September exodus
According to AMBCrypto’s analysis of XRP exchange outflows, the altcoin has witnessed a significant exodus of assets from exchanges. This signals a shift in market sentiments.
Since then, a reversal in the trend has taken place, with XRP’s exchange outflows facing a sharp reduction. Such trend reversal would suggest the growing confidence of Ripple holders, as they prefer holding their positions to taking their assets off the exchanges.
This may in turn fuels the ongoing price rally as fewer coins are available for exchange, easing supply-side pressure.
