XRP Open Interest Hits 2025 Levels: Bulls or Just Noise?

XRP‘s open interest has been about as stable as my diet on a Friday night-swinging wildly between highs and lows while the market collectively shrugs. Now it’s inching back toward 2025 levels, which either means the bulls are coming or someone’s been daydreaming.

XRP Open Interest: Bulls Returning or Just a Flash in the Pan?

In 2026, open interest took a nosedive, riding the crypto market’s bearish wave. Big surprise-XRP’s price was dragging its feet, and since these two are basically attached at the hip, open interest had to suffer too. Like when your friend cancels plans, and suddenly your couch feels emptier.

With the price perking up a bit, open interest is shaking off its coma, jumping from a sad $2.11 billion to around $3 billion. Traders are apparently giving XRP another look, maybe because they got bored of chasing memecoins that vanish faster than my willpower at a bakery.

On Coinglass, the Long/Short Ratio shows 51.58% of volume is long (betting on a rise) versus 48.24% short (betting on a crash). It’s nearly a dead heat, like debating whether to watch reality TV or actually accomplish something. Slight edge to the optimists, but who trusts numbers anymore?

Historically, retail traders are about as accurate as a horoscope. When everyone piles into longs, that’s precisely when prices tend to nosedive. So, with more expecting a rise? Statistically, it’s probably time to panic. Thanks, crypto, for never letting us down… in the worst way.

If open interest keeps climbing, it might nudge the price upward. But let’s be real: XRP is still Bitcoin‘s annoying younger sibling. If Bitcoin doesn’t recover, we’re all getting dragged into the mud together. Family vacation vibes, except nobody packed snacks.
