XRP Surges as Whale Holdings Hit All-Time

XRP is breaking away from current market sentiment as it scored a major regulatory victory against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

XRP whales registered a new peak in their holdings after the end of the lawsuit between Ripple over the SEC

Whale holdings of XRP have reached an all-time high (ATH) after rising 42% over the past 30 days.

U.S. District Judge Annalisa Torres of the Southern District of New York found that 1,278 institutional sell transactions by Ripple violated securities law and ordered the company to pay $125 million in civil penalties, ending a years-long lawsuit.

Santiment reported that wallets holding 1 to 10 million XRP tokens have reached a new high. These large-holder wallets now hold 7.06 billion coins (worth an estimated $4.42 billion).
