Ripple News: XRP Turnover and Liquidity Drop to Fresh Multi-Month Lows

Ripple news remained in the spotlight on April 3, as new market data showed XRP liquidity and turnover on Binance falling to fresh multi-month lows. The slowdown came as XRP remained under pressure after failing to hold above $1.35, its recent gain. At the same time, Ripple also drew attention after a new report detailed the economic impact of its earlier RLUSD donation to the small-business lender Accion Opportunity Fund. Ripple News: XRP Liquidity and Turnover Sink on Binance Recent CryptoQuant data showed XRP’s 30-day liquidity index on Binance falling to about 0.062. The 30-day turnover index also dropped to roughly $4.46 billion, pointing to weaker trading activity on the exchange. Lower liquidity usually means the market has fewer buy and sell orders at different price levels. When order books thin out, even one large trade can move price faster than usual, especially during short-term volatility.

Market depth weakened as XRP pulled back from the April 1 high near $1.36, adding to signs of soft demand. This trend followed a prolonged period of declining activity. Earlier March data had already placed XRP turnover near 7.02 billion XRP and the liquidity index at around 0.097, both of which were weak readings compared with earlier cycles. XRP Data Shows a Long Decline in Market Activity Binance data from 2022 through 2024 painted a very different picture. During that stretch, XRP’s liquidity index moved above 3 at times, while turnover ranged between 180 billion and 240 billion XRP. Those readings reflected a much more active market with deeper order books and stronger trading flow. By contrast, the current figures show a sharp drop from those earlier levels and confirm that market activity has cooled over time. The downturn appears to have started in July 2025. From that point, turnover began to slide, and the liquidity index fell below 1 before continuing lower in the following months. The addition of exchange transaction data added another layer to the slowdown. In the last 30 days, Binance recorded about 310,500 XRP deposit transactions and roughly 329,400 withdrawals, resulting in a net difference of about -18,900. XRP Price Structure Remains Below Resistance XRP's price action also aligned with softer market readings. After reaching $1.60 on March 17 amid market tension tied to the Iran conflict, XRP began trading within a descending channel, with lower highs and lower lows. By March 27, the token had dropped below $1.35, and that level later turned into resistance. A move back to $1.36 on April 1 failed to hold, and XRP fell again on April 2, extending the short-term downtrend. At press time, XRP price traded at $1.31, slightly up over the past 24 hours, with a market cap of $80.59 billion. Still, the latest bars have become lighter, which may indicate easing selling pressure. XRP now needs a clear move above $1.35 to break the current channel and improve the short-term structure. Ripple Donation Report Adds Another Angle Separate from XRP market data, Ripple and Accion Opportunity Fund released new details on the results of Ripple’s earlier $15 million RLUSD donation. The funds helped AOF unlock and deploy more capital to underserved small business owners in the United States. The program funded 905 loans for 895 unique business owners. It also supported the creation of 1,003 jobs and the retention of 1,631 existing roles, while generating more than $100 million in broader economic activity. The update also showed how Ripple continues to use RLUSD beyond trading and settlement. AOF used part of the funding to expand advisory and educational support for borrowers through longer-term business programs.
