Institutions are quietly accumulating large amounts of XRP, a pattern that analysts say could tighten available supply and influence prices as tokens become scarcer.
On April 4, market analyst @CryptoCupra on X reported that major institutions have already committed more than $200 million to XRP, describing the activity as only the beginning.
The analyst said prominent players, including Goldman Sachs, have entered the market alongside several top investment funds. He characterized the accumulation as strategic positioning by large-scale investors rather than typical retail participation.
@CryptoCupra argued that as institutions buy XRP, the number of tokens available for trading continues to decrease. He said this type of accumulation often precedes a “supply shock,” which can occur when demand rises while sellers are unwilling to offer tokens.
In such scenarios, price can be affected as buying pressure increases while liquidity remains limited.
Among the firms cited in the analyst’s post, Goldman Sachs has the highest exposure to XRP, holding more than 83.63 million tokens valued at over $153.8 million. Millennium Management LLC is listed as the next-largest buyer, with approximately 12.54 million XRP purchased, valued at more than $23 million.
The accumulation comes while XRP faces significant volatility and price declines toward $1.3. The cryptocurrency has recorded six consecutive months of losses since October 2025, contributing to sustained pressure on its price and market structure.
Despite the downtrend, institutional investors continue to accumulate, which the reports frame as a “buy the dip” approach ahead of a potential rebound.
Additional support for the supply-tightening thesis comes from reported liquidity changes on Binance. Arthur, CIO of RoyalPeakCap, said XRP’s 30-day liquidity index on Binance has fallen to zero.
The reports also note that trading volumes have declined from $200 million in January 2025 to almost nothing today.
The liquidity and supply narrative follows news of XRP holders boycotting Coinbase, which spread across the market. As holders withdrew XRP from the exchange, rumors of a potential supply shock increased, with expectations that continued outflows could support price.
