XRP Transactions Hit Lowest Levels Since Mid-2025: Here’s What It Means for Ripple

Since the onset of the Middle East conflict, crypto markets have remained volatile in the short term but directionless overall. Several major assets, including XRP, have moved sideways during this period.

At the same time, XRP transaction activity on Binance has declined sharply, with both deposits and withdrawals falling to their lowest levels since 2025.

XRP Stagnation Deepens

Over the past 30 days, deposit transactions were found to be at approximately 310,500, while withdrawals reached around 329,400. This resulted in a net negative transaction count of about 18,900, which indicates continued net outflows from the exchange. In its latest analysis, CryptoQuant explained,

“This decline reflects a continued net outflow from the platform; however, it comes amid a significant drop in the total number of transactions, suggesting a period of market stagnation.”

Since mid-2025, activity has sharply contracted, as earlier periods of the year often saw combined deposit and withdrawal transactions surpass 6 million within a 30-day window. Following the decline, transaction volumes have stabilized at consistently low levels and have now reached their weakest point since that earlier peak period.

The data essentially showed that short-term investor interest and speculative trading have both decreased, contributing to a quieter market environment. Such low activity levels are typically associated with reduced price volatility, as buying and selling pressures weaken simultaneously. Despite this, the continued imbalance where withdrawals exceed deposits may indicate that some users are still moving assets off exchanges. The analytics platform stated that this behavior is often linked to accumulation strategies or transfers to private wallets, especially during periods when trading activity remains subdued and market momentum is limited.

XRP declined by nearly 3% over the past week, but still moved ahead of BNB in market cap rankings. It recorded a market value of $81.02 billion, slightly higher than BNB’s $80.1 billion.

On the institutional side of things, spot XRP ETFs recorded a small daily inflow of $64,610 on April 2, according to data compiled by SoSoValue. However, overall demand stayed low, as weekly outflows stood at $3.56 million. The weak flows suggest that investor confidence remains limited, as geopolitical tensions continue to reduce risk appetite across financial markets.

BBB Rating to Ripple Prime

Against this backdrop, Ripple’s brokerage arm has gained credibility among institutional players. As recently reported by CryptoPotato, ratings agency KBRA has assigned a BBB issuer rating to Ripple Prime. The agency cited the company’s progress in areas such as clearing and intermediation services, especially across derivatives trading and fixed income repo markets.

Since introducing its ETF platform two years ago, the firm has significantly expanded its operations. Its repo segment, for instance, achieved meaningful scale in 2025. Profitability was also reached during the year, aided by roughly $500 million in capital support from Ripple and continued balance sheet growth.

KBRA said that Ripple’s financial strength, including billions in cash reserves and large XRP holdings, played a major role in supporting the rating. It also projected margin expansion in 2026 as the business matures.
