While Rest of Market Burns, XRP's 'Money Printers' Stay Chillin' With 0.01% Liquidation Risk

The smart money on Hyperliquid is quietly stacking XRP. According to CoinGlass data, the so-called "Money Printers"—those 598 wallets printing over $1 million in profits—are keeping their net long exposure on $XRP at $15.31 million versus $13.4 million in shorts. While the rest of the market apparently decided to reenact the 1929 crash for fun, these whales just ordered another round of XRP and asked the bartender to keep the change.

Meanwhile, the broader market picture tells a different story. These same wallets carry a cumulative short position of $1.292 billion against just $857 million in longs across the crypto market. Bitcoin and Ethereum aren't exactly winning friends either, with combined shorts sitting at $708 million against roughly $600 million in longs. Apparently, the cool kids' table has relocated to the short side of the room, serving up regulatory FUD as the main course.

But here's the kicker: XRP's liquidation risk is a microscopic 0.01%. Compare that to the MET token's 10.38% and suddenly XRP looks like the safe house in a neighborhood of degen gambling dens. It's the crypto equivalent of your grandma's house during a zombie apocalypse—boring, slightly embarrassing to admit you go there, but also kind of genius.
