Binance reports spike in OTC trades, says it has done 25% of its total volume for 2025 in just two months
Richard Teng, the co-CEO of Binance, has confirmed on X that the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume has already done 25% of the total OTC volume they achieved in 2025 in just two months of 2026. However, this announcement, which was first documented in the second issue of Binance’s OTC digest that was published on March 20, comes at a time when the crypto spot market is enduring a sustained downturn. The seeming success of Binance’s OTC arm is now raising questions about where and how institutional money is moving. Another question market observers now have to answer is if exchange spot volumes remain a reliable gauge of market health. What is happening in the spot market? According to industry data, the combined trading volumes across centralized crypto exchanges (CEXs) fell to $5.61 trillion in February 2026. Spot trading volume for the same month fell by 3% to $1.5 trillion. The spot market is not also rosy for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) with activity dropping by 15.5% to $287 billion in February, which was its first monthly decline in three months. Binance continues to lead the spot market, although its market share has shrunk to 22%, which is reportedly its lowest since 2020. The market capitalization of the spot market is currently around $2.3 trillion, down by over 2.5% over the past month. The retreat in spot trading volumes saw an increase through the final months of 2025. US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), usually a bellwether of institutional sentiment, registered net outflows of $4.57 billion across November and December, their worst two-month stretch since launch, as Bitcoin’s price dropped 20% over the same period. Where has institutional demand migrated? According to Binance March OTC digest , Bitcoin’s share of OTC volumes rose from 4.91% in January to 45.81% in February, which is nearly a ten-fold increase, while stablecoin and fiat-to-crypto volume went up by more than double, rising from 21.43% to 48.95%. Binance says that the activities that occurred during this period may be a result of bullish repositioning among institutional and high-net-worth clients. Industry-scale participants are moving large sums through back channels, while retail traders sit on the sidelines, and the recent data shared by Binance places it as one of the choice platforms. However, Binance’s OTC volume numbers do not tell the whole story about the market since its dynamics operate quite differently from public market sentiment. The latest growth may be as a result of a change in the routing preferences of institutional traders, instead of net new demand, and this could be a plausible reason why the spot market is where it is now.

Three AI Models Just Predicted A Shocking XRP Price For 2026
Crypto markets thrive on forward-looking narratives, and few tools amplify those narratives more than artificial intelligence. As investors increasingly turn to AI models for projections, the range of outcomes often reflects not certainty, but the sheer complexity of what drives price in a rapidly evolving market like XRP. Crypto analyst Levi Rietveld recently examined this dynamic by comparing forecasts from three major AI systems, revealing just how widely expectations can diverge. His analysis does not just highlight price targets—it exposes the assumptions required for each scenario to materialize. Why AI Models Disagree So Sharply Rietveld’s findings show that each AI model builds its projection on a different interpretation of growth drivers. Grok delivers the most aggressive outlook, suggesting XRP could reach as high as $250 under extreme bullish conditions. This scenario depends heavily on a powerful supply shock combined with rapid, large-scale adoption. 3 AI Models Just Predicted A SHOCKING #XRP Price For 2026 pic.twitter.com/OdoZrVMuo1 — Levi | Crypto Crusaders (@LeviRietveld) March 27, 2026 ChatGPT takes a more measured approach, projecting a potential peak around $20 in a best-case scenario. This estimate factors in institutional inflows, ETF expansion, and global payment integration, but it assumes a more gradual scaling of demand. Gemini presents a structured range of outcomes. Its base case places XRP between $2.50 and $3.50, reflecting steady ecosystem growth. A stronger institutional scenario pushes the price toward $8, while a retail-driven surge could lift it into the $4 to $6 range. The Core Drivers: Supply and Demand Despite their differences, all three models converge on a critical point: XRP’s future price depends on supply dynamics and adoption. A true supply shock would require a meaningful reduction in circulating tokens, paired with sustained demand from institutions and retail participants. Adoption remains equally important. Increased usage in cross-border payments , deeper integration into financial systems, and the expansion of stablecoin ecosystems all contribute to upward price pressure. Without these factors, even optimistic projections lose traction. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Extreme Scenarios and Their Limits Gemini introduces a speculative outlier that places XRP as high as $1,000 per coin. However, this scenario assumes near-total global adoption, where XRP becomes a dominant settlement layer across financial systems. Such an outcome would require structural changes far beyond current market conditions. These projections highlight the difference between theoretical potential and realistic execution. Market liquidity, regulatory frameworks, and macroeconomic forces all shape how far prices can move. What Investors Should Take Away Rietveld’s analysis reinforces a key insight: AI models map possibilities, not certainties. Each projection reflects a specific set of conditions, and the wide range of outcomes underscores how uncertain the path to 2026 remains. For market participants, the real value lies in understanding the triggers behind each scenario. XRP’s future will not hinge on predictions alone, but on whether adoption, liquidity, and sentiment align at scale.

Ethereum Price Falls Below Psychological $2,000 Support — What Next?
After a show of resilience over the past few weeks, the Ethereum price finally gave way, falling below the $2,000 level for the first time since March 10th. The “King of Altcoins” succumbed to the downward pressure that spread across the global financial markets on Friday, March 27th, as the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East rage on. With rising oil prices due to the supply shock driven by the partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz, inflation expectations across various world economies are rising rapidly. Specifically, the fear of inflation seems to have triggered the ongoing chatter about a potential hike in interest rates by the United States Federal Reserve, leading to a drop in crypto prices. $111 Million Flushed Out Of The Market In ETH Long Liquidations On Friday, the Ethereum price fell to a two-week low just below the critical $2,000 level, as the entire cryptocurrency market continues to struggle against the latest wave of bearish pressure. As the price of ETH slumped to this low, Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, also dropped to around $65,500 on the day. Related Reading: $2.3 Billion Ethereum Has Left OKX And Binance This Quarter: The Sell-Side Supply Is Thinning According to recent market data, this Ethereum price decline below $2,000 was accompanied by significant long liquidations of more than $110 million. With the altcoin losing such a critical support level, it is not totally outrageous to expect further decline over the next few days, especially considering the sluggish market climate. However, investors might want to look out for the Ethereum price close at the end of the week before making any conclusion. If there is a convincing close below the psychological $2,000 support, then the cryptocurrency stands at the risk of further decline, potentially to as low as the $1,750-$1,850 support region. As of this writing, the price of ETH stands at around $1980, reflecting a nearly 3% decline in the last 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the Ethereum price is down by more than 7% in the past seven days. Spot Ethereum ETFs Suffer $158 Million In Net Outflows Merely looking at Ethereum’s apparent demand trend over the past few days, the latest price fall seemed inevitable. According to recent market data, the US-based Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded total net outflows of around $158 million over the past week. The Ethereum ETFs have been on a seven-day streak of negative outflows, seeing more than $400 million flow in that period. This run of negative performances is a hallmark sign of waning demand in the market, with the downward pressure on price its consequence. Hence, sustained capital inflows into products like the spot exchange-traded funds could signal a return of demand into the market and perhaps bullish momentum for the Ethereum price.
