Buy Side Explodes: XRP Liquidity 7x Heavier Than Sells On CoinbaseTraders watching Stellar’s 40% weekly surge are now turning their attention to XRP, asking whether the older and larger token could be next. The two assets share a long history of moving in tandem, and some analysts say the setup is starting to look familiar. Related Reading: Unknown Wallet Destroys $8.5 Million In Bitcoin In Shocking Burn XRP And XLM: A Recurring Pattern Analyst Kevin Cage pointed out that while XLM broke out after months of sideways trading, XRP has remained range-bound. Reports indicate that if momentum picks up, some traders are projecting a move toward the $1.76 to $2 range for XRP sometime in June. XRP itself posted a 2.50% gain in the past 24 hours, though it remains down 2.50% over the last seven days and about 5% over the past month. The price was last seen hovering near the $1.23 to $1.30 liquidity zone on Coinbase‘s spot market. $XRP orderbook on Coinbase is still heavily skewed towards bids (nearly 7x on the large bands) Now this doesn’t automatically mean “price go up” But it does mean it’s much easier to move price meaningfully up then down The book is simply intentions. Early 2025 I used the large… pic.twitter.com/VCdbjp7MLT — Dom (@traderview2) May 28, 2026 What The Order Book Is Showing That liquidity zone is exactly where analyst Dom’s findings get interesting. According to Dom, a heatmap of Coinbase’s XRP order book shows buy orders stacked heavily below the current price, with sell orders above appearing far smaller by comparison. He put the difference at roughly seven times — meaning buy-side depth dwarfs whatever selling pressure currently sits above. Dom was clear that order books reflect trader intentions and not guaranteed price outcomes, but he said the data still carries weight. He pointed to a 2025 Bitcoin call where similar order book readings supported his bearish view before BTC fell around 30%. The implication is that when the data lines up, it tends to mean something. Adding to the discussion, reports note that new wallets on Hyperliquid have been opening large XRP long positions using 20x leverage, with some bets running into the millions of dollars. That kind of activity has fueled further chatter about a potential move higher.

Less buying pressure would be needed to push the price higher than it would take selling pressure to drag it sharply lower. Whether that plays out depends on whether broader market sentiment shifts. For now, traders are watching both the Coinbase order book and XLM’s momentum for clues on what XRP does next. Featured image from Westend61/Getty Images, chart from TradingView

Ethereum Price Falls, But Whales Push Holdings To 10-Week HighOn-chain data shows large wallets on the Ethereum network have continued to accumulate despite the price decline that the asset has faced. Ethereum Holders With At Least 100,000 ETH Now Control 22% Of Supply According to data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the Ethereum investors owning at least 100,000 ETH have been accumulating recently. At the current exchange rate, this 100,000 ETH cutoff converts to nearly $200 million, so the only holders that would qualify for the cohort would be the big-money ones. Related Reading: Cardano Millionaire Wallets Reach Highest ADA Holdings Since 2017 In fact, the sums held by members of this group are so significant that they would be classified as large even among the whales, the popular cohort for classifying influential investors. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the total supply held by these Ethereum mega whales over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum investors with 100,000+ ETH have collectively added a net amount to their holdings since the start of May. Interestingly, this trend of accumulation has maintained despite the bearish turn that the market has taken in the second half of this month. From the chart, it’s visible that these humongous ETH investors now hold a total of 17.41 million tokens, the highest in around nine weeks. In supply percentage terms, their holdings occupy a share of 22.03%, which is a 10-week high. The fact that the massive Ethereum whales have been adding to their holdings recently can naturally be a positive sign for the cryptocurrency, but something to keep in mind is that the supply of this group has still followed an overall decline since Q4 2025. Considering this, it only remains to be seen whether the current trend will continue for long enough to reverse this drawdown. Related Reading: Crypto Faces Nearly $1 Billion In Liquidations As Bitcoin, Ethereum Crash In related news, on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant has also shared some data related to large holders, this time for the Bitcoin network. As is apparent in the graph on the right, the Bitcoin whales saw their supply go up during January and February, but since then, their 30-day supply change has dropped off to neutral levels. At the same time, the smaller dolphin group (displayed on the left) has also been pulling back on its accumulation. “Historically, when both cohorts stall simultaneously, sustained price weakness tends to follow,” explained CryptoQuant. ETH Price Following a drop of more than 6% over the past week, Ethereum has found itself back under the $2,000 level for the first time since late-March.
