13.24 million XRP leave exchanges, large wallets increase by 60 million

Ripple (XRP) saw 13.24 million tokens withdrawn from crypto exchanges around 10 a.m. KST on the 5th, according to a figure shared by analyst Ali Martinez on X and cited by DailyCoin. Over the past week, large wallets increased their XRP holdings by roughly 60 million tokens, though the two metrics cover different timeframes and the data alone cannot confirm the withdrawn coins moved into those wallets. The exchange outflow figure represents tokens moved off exchanges at a single point in time and should be distinguished from net outflow or an overall decline in exchange balances. The divergence between the one-off withdrawal and the weekly accumulation by large holders matters because it hints at possible supply migration into long-term storage, but the link remains unproven. What to watch next is whether exchange balances keep falling and whether large-wallet holdings continue to climb, which would strengthen the case that coins are being absorbed rather than merely shuffled.
