New data shared by market intelligence and behavioral analytics platform Santiment Intelligence highlights a notable reversal in XRP exchange flows just one day after the digital asset recorded its largest exchange inflow of 2026.

In an X post, Santiment reported that XRP experienced a significant influx of tokens onto exchanges on May 28, with approximately 22.80 million XRP moving to trading platforms. According to the firm’s exchange flow balance data, that inflow marked the largest single-day movement of XRP onto exchanges this year.

However, the trend quickly changed. Santiment noted that over the following two days, roughly 25.24 million XRP moved back off exchanges, resulting in a net outflow that exceeded the previous inflow. The platform presented the findings alongside a chart tracking XRP’s exchange balance and price movements throughout March, April, and May.

Large Inflow Coincided With XRP Price Bottom

A key observation from Santiment’s analysis was the timing of the exchange inflow. The firm stated that the substantial transfer of XRP onto exchanges occurred at what proved to be a local bottom for the asset’s price.

According to Santiment, many retail traders appear to have moved coins to exchanges and sold during a period of heightened uncertainty. The platform suggested that these sales took place at XRP’s lowest price in approximately 15 weeks.

“Right after the largest XRP exchange inflow (+22.80M XRP) of the year happened Thursday, on-chain data indicates even more coins (-25.24M) have moved back off of exchanges since,” Santiment wrote in its X post.

The company further commented that the large movement of XRP onto exchanges occurred “right at the local bottom” for the asset, adding that traders who sold during that period may now regret their decision. Santiment noted that XRP’s trading value has increased by approximately 5% since what it described as a capitulation event.

Community Interprets Outflows as a Positive Signal

The post attracted reactions from members of the crypto community, many of whom focused on the significance of the subsequent outflows from exchanges.

Santiment Highlights Investor Behavior

While the post did not make a direct price prediction, Santiment’s analysis focused on investor behavior and how exchange flow data can reveal market sentiment. The chart shared by the platform suggests that a substantial amount of XRP left exchanges shortly after the large inflow event, coinciding with a modest price recovery.

The data underscores how exchange activity often provides insight into trader decisions during periods of volatility. In this case, Santiment’s findings indicate that a wave of selling pressure emerged near a local price low, followed by a larger movement of XRP off exchanges as market conditions stabilized and the asset recovered roughly 5%.
