XRP Holds $2.10 Support as Golden Cross Forms After Leverage Reset
However, whale activity has been slowly declining since mid-December. This suggests large holders may be stepping back after months of heavy involvement near the top of the rally, allowing the market to cool and stabilize.
Institutional & ETF Flows Remain Key Support
At the same time, institutional interest remains a key support. Spot XRP ETFs have attracted nearly $1.49 billion in inflows since launch, even though they saw a $40.8 million outflow on January 7 during the recent price dip.
This shows that while short-term sentiment can weaken, longer-term interest has not disappeared.
