> XDC ranked among the top three gainers among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies, while exchange inflows pointed to potential selling pressure.

XDC, the native token of XDC Network, rose over the 24 hours covered by the report as derivatives activity increased and exchange inflows pointed to potential selling pressure near a prior resistance zone.

XDC ranked among the three biggest gainers across the 100 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as of 3 p.m. ET (7 p.m. UTC) Sept. 28. Its market capitalization stood at approximately $719 million.

The token had entered a supply zone that previously limited advances, although the exact price range was not specified. That setup left potential exchange-held supply as a factor that could limit further gains if spot demand does not absorb it.

The funding rate held at 0.0050% for several days. A positive funding rate generally means traders with long positions pay those holding short positions, reflecting stronger demand for bullish futures exposure.

Open interest increased 18% to $7.12 million. The measure represents the total value of unsettled futures positions, so the increase indicated that more contracts were open during the period.

XDC’s spot-market netflow was approximately positive $1.08 million over 24 hours, meaning more tokens moved into exchanges than out. Traders often monitor such inflows because tokens sent to exchanges may later be sold, but the figure does not prove that the tokens were sold.

The XDC mainnet launched June 1, 2019. Circle’s USDC and CCTP V2 went live on the network Sept. 17, 2025.
