XRP Exchange Reserves Drop to Seven-Year Low Amid ETF Demand

The XRP market is showing potential signs of future price changes despite its current bearish trend. Key points include:

Exchange reserves have decreased to a seven-year low of 1.7 billion XRP, suggesting tightening liquidity.
Three factors likely to influence XRP's price by 2026 are regulatory clarity, investor demand through spot ETFs, and real-world adoption of the XRPL network.
XRP ETF products in the US attracted significant inflows initially, indicating a shift from speculative to structural investment strategies.
As per 21Shares, XRP's smaller market cap compared to Bitcoin could mean a larger impact on price due to proportionally higher capital inflows.

The report outlines possible scenarios for 2026: a base case peak of $2.45, a bull case of $2.69, and a bear case of $1.60.
The base scenario expects steady ETF inflows and gradual utility improvement.
The bull scenario anticipates institutional tokenization and reduced liquid supply enhancing pricing.
The bear scenario considers stagnant adoption and capital moving away from XRP.
