2-9-2025 – Cryptocurrency experts are alleging that Binance is deliberately suppressing XRP prices through strategic sell-offs, despite the token’s strong fundamentals and recent legal victories. Crypto analyst Pumpius claimed on X that the exchange creates “artificial liquidity drains” whenever Ripple achieves positive milestones, keeping XRP positioned as “just another altcoin.”
The accusations center on timing patterns where significant sell pressure emerges following favorable XRP developments. Analyst Pepesso cited Binance’s recent offloading of over $1.5 billion in Ethereum through market-making firm Wintermute as evidence of coordinated manipulation tactics. Similar selling patterns have allegedly affected Solana markets, with critics arguing these actions force mass liquidations among leveraged traders.
🚨 BINANCE IS DUMPING $XRP 🚨
Massive sell pressure. Sudden liquidity drains. Charts spiking red.
But here’s the part the peasants don’t get: Binance isn’t just dumping crypto, they’re deliberately manipulating XRP’s price.

XRP has declined 4% over the past week while broader crypto markets recovered modestly, though the token gained 1.94% to $2.80 in recent trading. On-chain data shows XRP Ledger active addresses dropped from 45,000 in mid-July to approximately 20,000 currently, suggesting increased investor caution. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has shifted from “greed” to “neutral” territory over the past month.
Despite the selling pressure, whale activity remains strong with 340 million tokens accumulated over two weeks. Chinese supply chain giant Linklogis recently integrated XRP Ledger for its global finance platform, marking continued enterprise adoption in Asia.
