From August 22 to September 17, XRP open interest on Binance fell about 32%, dropping from $323 million to $219 million, signaling significant deleveraging in the derivatives market. During the same period, XRP's price declined by roughly 11%, showing that derivatives exposure shrank much faster than the price. Selling pressure intensified, especially in spot markets where cumulative volume delta (CVD) fell sharply, indicating aggressive sell-side activity beyond leveraged positions. This reduction in leveraged exposure may help stabilize the market, while ongoing institutional interest and regulatory developments continue to shape XRP's outlook.
