Binance, the dominant player in XRP futures, has seen its Open Interest vault from around $544.4 million on March 11, 2025, to nearly $2 billion in just four months. This reflects a broader trend where major exchanges, including Bitmex, Coinbase, OKX, and Hyperliquid, witness multiple hundred-million-dollar positions being opened by traders betting on XRP’s next move. 

The correlation between Open Interest and price action often serves as a crucial signal in the derivatives market. Usually, when OI climbs alongside price, it suggests strong bullish momentum backed by real capital. Conversely, a surge in OI without a corresponding price increase can raise concerns over potential leverage traps or looming liquidations.In the case of XRP, both Open Interest and price appear to be rising, indicating sustained market confidence and the possibility of an even stronger uptrend.
