An abrupt XRP sell‑off by more than -15% on 23 July was driven overwhelmingly by aggressive market selling on South Korean exchange Upbit, according to independent analyst Dom (@traderview2), who published multi‑venue order book heatmaps and cumulative volume delta (CVD) data to X. “Korean market Upbit chose violence today on XRP,” he wrote, quantifying “Over 75 million XRP sold at market over the last 24 hours.” Why Did XRP Crash Yesterday? The spot CVD chart shared by Dom isolates net market buying and selling across major venues. While Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, Kraken and Bitstamp CVD lines remained comparatively flat to modestly negative, the Upbit CVD (purple line) plunged in a near‑one‑way trajectory to roughly –75 million XRP during the period, mirroring the intraday decline in the average spot price plotted alongside it. The analyst stated: “The pump AND dump was brought to you by Upbit… The orderbooks have been pretty empty, thus the quick move down today.” Concurrent order book heatmaps for Binance, Coinbase, Binance USDⓈ‑M perpetuals and Kraken show a sharp breakdown from recent highs above $3.5 toward the mid‑$3.1 area during the session. Visible liquidity pockets were thin above price, with bids clustering just below, consistent with Dom’s observation that depleted depth amplified the impact of the concentrated Upbit flow.

He added that “We have reached some bids around $3, which I am monitoring now,” emphasizing that “I think we want that area hold to keep shorter term bull structure in tact.” The same source underscored that the Korean venue had also dominated the preceding upside phase. On 11 July, Dom attributed the earlier surge to localized demand: “XRP pump brought to you mainly by the Koreans on Upbit. Binance market tailing behind. All other venues basically flat (Coinbase barely participating). Nearly 30M $XRP market bought on top exchanges over the last hour.” That earlier burst of concentrated buying was later offset by the latest wave of concentrated selling, producing what he characterized as a “pump AND dump” sequence centered on Upbit’s order flow. Related Reading: XRP Could Skyrocket 500% Against Bitcoin, Analyst Warns Taken together, the data depict a two‑stage move in which initial Korean spot accumulation drove price expansion, followed days later by heavy Korean liquidation into a structurally thin global order book, accelerating XRP’s descent. Dom’s monitoring focus now rests on whether the identified bid interest around $3 can stabilize price and preserve the shorter‑term bullish structure he references. As of the charts published, that support zone remained the critical near‑term level. Notably, derivative positioning intensified the move: CoinGlass data shows that XRP futures long positions suffered approximately $82.8 million in liquidations yesterday, second only to Ether and ahead of Bitcoin, with total market long liquidations exceeding $630 million. This forced deleveraging likely compounded the spot pressure as cascading margin calls translated into additional market sell orders, reinforcing the rapid downside extension initiated on Upbit. At press time, XRP traded at $3.09. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

According to Arkham Intelligence, the US government still holds more than 198,000 Bitcoin. That’s around $23.4 billion sitting in digital wallets across several agencies. Related Reading: PEPE Sparks Google Frenzy With 300% Surge In Search Interest A recent public spreadsheet showed just 28,988.356 BTC under the Marshals Service. But looking at FBI, IRS, DEA and Justice Department seizures makes the total jump far higher. Government Stash Spread Across Agencies Based on reports from the Marshals Service, 28,988.356 BTC—worth roughly $3.45 billion—has been under its control since July 15, 2025. Other agencies don’t share that data publicly. They manage coins from crime probes and prize auctions. Arkham gathered on‑chain data and linked addresses tied to each agency. When added, the total hits at least 198,012 BTC. DID THE US GOVERNMENT JUST SELL 170,000 BTC ($20 BILLION)? No. This Freedom of Information Request response from the US Marshals Service (USMS) cites them as holding 28,988 BTC ($3.4B), but other departments of the US Government also seize and hold Bitcoin, including the FBI,… https://t.co/8kpjwyKcT9 pic.twitter.com/uB7EejUCVz — Arkham (@arkham) July 23, 2025 In everyday terms, that means the US is a massive bitcoin “whale” that still owns about 198,000 BTC. It’s not just sitting at the Marshals Service. The rest is spread out in hidden pockets. Those coins haven’t moved in the last four months. Traders who saw only the Marshals number panicked. Senator Cynthia Lummis even warned it would be a “total strategic blunder” if the reserves really fell below 30,000 BTC. Arkham: The US Government currently holds at least 198,000 BTC ($23.5B) across multiple addresses held by different government arms. None of this has moved for 4 months. pic.twitter.com/nhWWeWqhmh — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) July 24, 2025 Big Cases Make Up Most Holdings A huge chunk—114,599 BTC—came from the 2016 Bitfinex hack case against Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan. That haul alone counts for more than $13.65 billion. Silk Road‑related seizures add about 94,643 BTC. That breaks down into 51,680 BTC from James Zhong’s theft and 69,370 BTC linked to another hacker, sometimes called “Individual X.” Other cases help pad the total. Arkham spotted $81.25 million in BTC taken from Alameda Research’s Binance accounts after FTX collapsed. Another $79.50 million came from HashFlare scammers Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turogin. Even small hits like 58.7 BTC from Ryan Farace’s case show up in the chain records. Sales Haven’t Touched Core Supply The US sold 9,861 BTC worth about $215 million in March 2023 from the Zhong case. In August 2024, another 10,000 BTC went for $594 million. Then in December 2024, 10,000 BTC sold for roughly $968 million. Despite that activity, the main piles from Bitfinex and Silk Road haven’t moved. Those coins still sit where seizing agencies left them.
