In a recent missive on the ever-chattering platform X, the on-chain analytics firm Santiment-those modern-day oracles of the blockchain-has deigned to inform us of the latest trend among the mid-to-large holders of XRP. The “Supply Distribution,” a metric as dry as a witless socialite’s humor, reveals the number of wallets belonging to this esteemed cohort. Addresses, you see, are grouped by the number of tokens they cradle in their digital bosoms.

As an analyst, I’ve been tracking the recent performance of the 11 spot bitcoin ETFs that launched in the U.S. While they initially saw strong inflows, bringing in $3.29 billion in March and April, we’re now seeing those funds start to flow *out*. And it’s happening on a significant scale.
