Retail traders panicked and dumped XRP at $1.85, thinking the rally was finished. What they didn't see? Institutions were quietly accumulating over $1.3B through spot ETFs in early 2026. Fast forward to now—XRP is trading near $2.30 while exchange reserves hit 8-year lows. The disconnect tells you everything: panic sellers covered their shorts, while patient holders are sitting pretty. When exchange supply dries up this badly, volatility usually follows. Who's winning? Anyone who held through the noise. 💎

Retail investors are still proud to complain after being cut, while institutions have already quietly taken their profits. This is the gap.

It's the same old trick again—retail investors get slaughtered while institutions feast on the meat. The same old playbook.

Retail investors are being pushed out again. This wave of institutions is really ruthless. The low supply level at an 8-year low—what does it indicate? It means it's going to rise.

Exchange reserves hit an 8-year low. Let's dig into this data—could it just be that large holders are transferring to self-custody wallets? The 1.3B institutional inflow also needs to be verified on-chain; don't just listen to stories.

Retail investors should really see what institutions are doing at $1.85, quietly taking profits.
