Ah, XRP. Still here. Still causing panic in the realms of finance where people wear suits and frown. New data from Bitrue suggests someone tripped over a calculator and accidentally hit “maximum buy”-because 212% growth in spot purchases isn’t just a surge; it’s a dragon sneezing into a savings account.
According to the exchange, XRP’s buying pressure has more than doubled the sell side. One wonders if the sell side had a heart-to-heart and decided to take a coffee break. This surge coincides with institutions finally noticing XRP after a decade of pretending it didn’t exist, likely spurred by the launch of XRP-linked exchange-traded products. (Because nothing says “trust us” like wrapping a token in paperwork.)
Market Reset Clears the Way
The recent market shakeout in mid-February-when $1.9 billion in realized losses hit like a rogue elephant at a tea party-cleared out leveraged positions. It was the crypto version of a really bad hair day for short-term traders.
With weaker hands now politely escorted out of the room, order books resemble a well-organized library, which is to say, suspiciously tidy. Capital, ever the opportunist, is rotating into assets with fresh momentum. Over five weeks, Bitcoin ETFs coughed up $3.8 billion, while XRP-linked products siphoned in $1.1 billion. Some investors, clearly bored with Bitcoin’s “I’m here to save the world” vibe, are now diversifying into alternative large-cap digital assets. (Who needs drama when you can have decimals?)
Institutional and Retail Flows Converge
Bitrue’s data reveals XRP has been hoarding inflows like a squirrel with a Bitcoin stash. Only a handful of days showed net outflows-remarkable for an asset that once made headlines for getting stuck in regulatory limbo. Combined institutional and retail participation? It’s like a team-building exercise where everyone agrees the goal is to inflate a balloon.
Retail buyers are stepping in, presumably because they’ve run out of things to buy on Amazon. Traders call it a “less crowded market structure,” which is Discworld-speak for “no one’s yelling at each other in chatrooms anymore.” When leveraged positions unwind, volatility takes a breather, and resistance levels drop like a wizard forgetting the password to their own vault.
As long-time supporters of #XRP, we’re watching this very closely at #Bitrue. You should too.
Stay tuned as we prepare something special for the #XRP community.

If inflows keep coming while exchange supply tightens, some analysts predict upward pressure. For context, “upward pressure” in crypto is code for “we’re not sure what happens next, but it’ll be loud.”
Broader XRP Ecosystem Developments
Beyond price action, the XRP Ledger ecosystem is expanding. Tokens like RLUSD are now trading pairs and liquidity pools, because nothing says “financial innovation” like adding a middle initial. Exchanges are scrambling to position themselves as liquidity venues for XRP and friends-like a student cramming for an exam they forgot about.
