XRP’s 365-day MVRV is about 0.92, putting holders in that measurement window roughly 8% below their cost basis, while aggregate exchange reserves stand at 11.81 billion XRP, worth about $15.7 billion at $1.33. Binance has shed leverage, but it accounts for only about 27% of tracked XRP futures open interest.
Why it matters
A sub-1 MVRV can mean fewer holders have gains to take, but it does not guarantee a rebound. It can also reflect weaker marginal demand. Exchange reserves are balances held at exchange addresses and may be used for custody, market making, hedging or collateral; they are not equivalent to sell orders.
The leverage reset is also uneven. Binance XRP futures open interest fell 15.8%, from $538.1 million on Oct. 4 to $453 million, as XRP slid from $1.52 to $1.29. But Glassnode’s Oct. 19 figures put total XRP futures open interest above $1.4 billion, with roughly 73% of tracked exposure on other venues. Positive funding across major exchanges indicates traders are again paying to hold long positions.
Market impact
XRP was near $1.33 on Oct. 20. The levels highlighted in the analysis are conditional: holding $1.25 and clearing $1.35 and $1.40 on spot-led demand could bring $1.55 into view. A rally accompanied by rapidly rising open interest and stronger positive funding would point to leverage rebuilding instead.
A decisive close below $1.25 with weak spot demand would raise downside risk, particularly if Bitcoin loses its cited $80,000 to $81,500 support area. The core test for XRP is whether spot buyers can support a recovery while futures leverage stays contained.
