XRP Scarcity Index on Binance hits lowest level since January 2025

The XRP Scarcity Index on the Binance trading platform has dropped to -0.94, marking its lowest level since January 2025. This decline indicates a significant increase in the availability of XRP for trading on the exchange compared to historical norms.

This shift represents a sharp reversal from July, when the index reached a two-year high of 0.77. While a positive index typically suggests lower availability and potential bullish sentiment, a negative index indicates higher liquidity, which can increase potential selling pressure.

Analysts from CryptoQuant note that while Binance's total XRP reserves have decreased by approximately 20% since November 2024, the remaining tokens appear more active for trading rather than being held in cold storage. This change reflects a shift in how existing supply is being utilized on the platform rather than a change in total holdings.
