Recent trading data shows a clear tilt toward optimism among Binance users when it comes to XRP.
According to figures from CoinGlass, nearly 68% of traders on the platform have opened long positions on the token, giving it a long-to-short ratio of 2.09. This trend is mirrored among Binance’s top-tier traders — those ranked in the highest 20% based on margin balances — who also appear to be betting heavily on XRP’s upward potential.
