XRP’s liquidity profile has changed noticeably in 2026, with CoinGecko data showing that buy-side depth now outweighs sell-side liquidity across eight major exchanges.
The chart shows roughly $18 million in bids versus about $14 million in asks within a ±2% price range.
That gives the XRP order book a clearer buy-side skew than it had in 2025, when liquidity was more evenly distributed on both sides of the market.

CoinGecko’s Chart Shows a Clear Buy-Side Tilt
The most important part of the chart is the imbalance around the market price.
Across Binance, Bitget, Bybit, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken, MEXC, and OKX, liquidity builds more heavily below the current price than above it.
That means there is more capital waiting to buy XRP on dips than there is liquidity waiting to sell into a move higher.
In simple terms, the order book currently offers more support underneath price than resistance above it.
That does not guarantee XRP will move higher, but it does create a healthier structure for buyers.
Binance and Coinbase Lead at Different Depth Levels
The exchange breakdown is also interesting.
Binance still has some of the deepest XRP liquidity closest to the market price, while Coinbase becomes more competitive at slightly wider price deviations.
$XRP's liquidity is widely distributed across 8 exchanges at ±2%.

Notably, liquidity is skewed to the buy side with $18M in bids vs. $14M in asks, with total depth relatively unchanged from 2025 at ~$30M.

The chart also shows that liquidity is spread fairly evenly across exchanges rather than being concentrated in one venue.
That is generally positive because it reduces dependence on a single exchange and gives XRP a more distributed trading structure.
Bybit and Kraken appear thinner right around the market price, with less than $100,000 in liquidity at the tightest deviation level, but depth improves farther away from spot.

Total XRP Market Depth Has Not Changed Much
There is one important caveat.
Even though the liquidity curve is now more favorable to buyers, total market depth remains around $30 million, roughly similar to 2025.
So this is not a story about XRP liquidity suddenly exploding.
The bigger change is where that liquidity sits.
The market has shifted from a relatively balanced structure to one where bids are more prominent than asks.
That could matter during periods of volatility because deeper buy-side liquidity can help absorb selling pressure.
XRP Still Trails Solana in Liquidity
CoinGecko also points out that XRP still has less cumulative liquidity than Solana across the same exchanges.
That is notable because XRP’s market cap is substantially larger than SOL’s, yet Solana still sees stronger average daily trading volume.
So while XRP’s liquidity structure has improved, it is not necessarily the deepest large-cap altcoin market.
For now, the biggest takeaway is the shift in positioning.
XRP’s total depth may not have changed much, but buyers are now showing more willingness to sit below the market and absorb supply. That is a meaningful difference from last year’s more symmetrical order book.
