Structural Factors Limit XRP Price Growth Despite Demand
- XRP sales are primarily conducted through institutional channels like over-the-counter (OTC) trades and dark pools, avoiding public exchanges.
- Platforms such as FalconX and Kraken’s dark pool infrastructure facilitate these large transactions discreetly.
- Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are also sourcing XRP liquidity through OTC desks, reducing available supply.
XRP’s price remains stable due to large-scale sales occurring outside public view, preventing significant market disruptions. This method allows early investors to sell without affecting market prices visibly.
Despite demand, the ongoing use of OTC channels by both early investors and ETFs limits upward price momentum for XRP. Until OTC supply tightens significantly, price growth may remain restrained. Source
