- XRP liquidity on Binance reached levels last recorded during early 2020.
- Arab Chain highlighted weakening market depth alongside declining speculative Binance trading activity.
- Traders monitor XRP volatility risks as Binance liquidity conditions continue deteriorating significantly
Despite XRP’s price remaining around $1.34, CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain noted that there is now less liquidity in XRP on Binance compared to January 2020. The 30-day liquidity index, the newest indicator, recorded relatively low trading interest, significantly lower than during the previous market cycles.
The data that Arab Chain provided earlier showed that the liquidity of XRP on Binance was relatively high from 2022 to early 2025 while market speculation was rampant. In those days, the index for liquidity has been surpassing the mark of 3 and 4 again and again, and during that period, XRP had a higher trading volume and more volatility.

XRP Trading Activity on Binance Continues Slowing
“This is the most recent index for liquidity, which is now down to almost 0.043, showing a significant drop in liquidity on Binance order books,” said Arab Chain. Thus, the current level of market depth is significantly lower than at previous times when inflows were strong and there was intense trading activity. In addition, thinner liquidity also makes the markets more sensitive to major trades when there are fewer orders to soak up buying and selling pressure effectively. Consequently, even modest transactions are likely to cause more price volatility in the current market.
The chart also illustrated that historically XRP volatility expansions have coincided with increases in liquidity. Liquidity has bounced on XRP upwards price momentum and significant derivatives activity during this time frame in the past (late 2022–2024). Moreover, the recent drop could be a sign of a waning interest of short-term traders. The trading turnover is also significantly lower than in the past, when XRP saw higher involvement from retail and institutional investors alike. XRP has been relatively stable around the $1.34 levels, despite the diminishing liquidity conditions. The split indicates that the existing investors are still holding on to their investments, and fewer people are joining Binance trading activity.
Traders Monitor Volatility Risks as Liquidity Weakens
“Low liquidity is not necessarily a sign of bulls or bears momentum,” said Arab Chain. However with compressed liquidity over long periods, they are often followed by a very volatile period when trading resumes aggressively. The new chart also showed a correlation between the current liquidity situation and the early 2020 market structure with XRP subsequently seeing greater market volatility.
Despite what looks like relatively stable price action around $1.34, XRP liquidity on Binance has now decreased to levels not seen since January 2020. Now traders are still waiting to see if there will be increased volatility movements as market depth gets reduced if buying and selling activity suddenly returns with force.
