Exchange holdings have declined, led by Binance, where about 100 million XRP left over the past month. Withdrawals have outpaced deposits for seven straight days. Whale wallets show steady net inflows, and spot ETF products recorded fresh inflows in June, despite a weak chart trend.

21Shares revises 2026 crypto outlook as prices lag and infrastructure advances
Asset manager 21Shares trimmed some bullish forecasts for the crypto industry, saying market weakness and slower retail participation make parts of its 2026 targets harder to reach.

The firm said bitcoin’s four-year cycle remains intact, while institutional ownership may have softened drawdowns without changing the cycle.
