Stablecoin-margined XRP open interest on Binance fell to about $186 million on July 31, its lowest level since April 2025, according to CryptoQuant. Bybit held roughly $229 million in the same contract type, about $43 million more than Binance.<\/p>\n

XRP trades near $1.03, putting the token roughly 3% above the $1 level that has become the market's most closely watched threshold.<\/p>\n

Binance carried more stablecoin-margined XRP<\/a> open interest than Bybit in every prior snapshot tracked, including roughly $222 million against $195 million in March<\/a> and about $205 million against $185 million in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The July 31 reading shows that XRP leverage has shifted between venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Glassnode's broader Aug. 5 dataset tracks total XRP futures open interest across every venue. It put Binance's open interest at $376.1 million, above KuCoin's $334.4 million and Bybit's $253.3 million.<\/p>\n

Binance still leads the broader futures market, with KuCoin<\/a> as the second-largest venue when all contract types are counted. The CryptoQuant<\/a> signal describes where stablecoin-margined leverage specifically sits within a much larger futures market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What the XRP leverage divergence could mean<\/h2>\n

Lower open interest on one venue means less leverage sitting there to get forcibly closed during a sharp move.<\/p>\n

If Bybit's book stays larger while Binance's shrinks, XRP's deleveraging is happening unevenly across venues. A forced liquidation on one exchange spreads<\/a> through arbitrage and market-maker activity, carrying the price<\/a> move across other venues, so a holder who never touches Bybit can still feel a decline that started there.<\/p>\n

Glassnode's<\/a> Aug. 5 data put Bybit funding at plus 0.001% and Binance at plus 0.003%, with the open-interest-weighted total across venues near 0.002%, close to flat. At this stage, the $229 million figure works best as a venue-concentration signal to keep watching as XRP nears $1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cascade<\/td>\n65%<\/td>\n75%<\/td>\n~$112M<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

CoinGlass<\/a> puts total XRP derivatives open interest near $2.36 billion, more than six times the token's roughly $379 million in 24-hour spot volume. That gap leaves plenty of leveraged exposure to work through relative to the market's buying and selling.<\/p>\n

Assuming 45% of Bybit's $229 million book is directional and half of that gets forced closed in a break, roughly $52 million in notional would be vulnerable. Push those assumptions to a cascade scenario, 65% directional and 75% forced-closed, and the number climbs toward $112 million.<\/p>\n

Those are stress assumptions built on the raw open-interest number, a way to size the risk before entry levels and positioning data confirm which way it leans.<\/p>\n

Where the price-target models point<\/h2>\n

The $1.05-$1.10 range became a key support zone in late June. A break below $1.05 would turn focus toward $1.00, while a reclaim of $1.18 to $1.30 would be needed to break the broader bearish structure.<\/p>\n

CryptoSlate's<\/em> Aug. 6 tracking of Polymarket<\/a> odds showed traders pricing a 71.5% chance XRP touches $1 in August<\/a>, compared with 18% for a move to $1.20. Those are binary threshold bets tied to Binance's one-minute price candles, useful for gauging trader sentiment more than for forecasting a price.<\/p>\n

The Fed<\/a> held its target rate at 3.50%-3.75% on July 29<\/a>, with three officials dissenting in favor of a hike and the statement describing inflation as still elevated. Crypto has also lagged the broader risk rally.<\/p>\n

XRP's exposure to the $1 test also depends on Bitcoin<\/a>. Bitcoin absorbed selling around its $62,000 to $65,000 cost-basis range, while weak stablecoin market-cap<\/a> growth and low volatility pointed to conditions that often precede a larger directional move.<\/p>\n

A sharp Bitcoin swing would test XRP's $1 level at the same time it tests Bitcoin's own support, a scenario neither market may be well positioned to absorb on its own.<\/p>\n

Which way the $1 test resolves<\/h2>\n

The bull case has Binance's<\/a> deleveraging turning out to be the real signal. XRP holds $1.04 support, open interest keeps falling on Bybit<\/a> as well as Binance, and funding stays flat while spot buying absorbs whatever leveraged selling remains.<\/p>\n

A reclaim of the 20-day and 50-day averages near $1.08 and $1.12 opens the path to $1.20. From there, room opens toward the $1.37 to $1.47 range if the move gains real spot participation.<\/p>\n

The bear case has XRP leverage on Bybit becoming the stress point that the data cannot yet rule out. XRP loses $1.04, then $1, while Bybit's stablecoin-margined open interest holds near current levels even as Binance's keeps falling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If Polymarket's 71.5% odds on a $1 touch are validated, the decline could run toward the $0.95 to $0.97 zone, and a break of $0.80 would open the wider $0.65 to $0.95 range further out.<\/p>\n

Binance's leverage reset is real, but whether it describes XRP's whole market still depends on what Bybit's book does next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
