XRP Whales Make Big Moves Amid Price Volatility

Popular altcoin XRP is experiencing significant whale activity amidst ongoing price volatility.

Recent blockchain data reveals that major investors are making substantial moves with XRP, hinting at a potential shift in market trends.

Recent reports show that whales have amassed approximately 47 million XRP, valued at around $25.86 million, despite recent price drops. Notable transactions include 22 million XRP transferred from Upbit and 24.8 million XRP moved from Binance to undisclosed wallets.

These large acquisitions during price declines suggest that major investors might be positioning for a future upswing.

Conversely, some large holders have also sold about 75 million XRP to various exchanges, a move interpreted by some analysts as profit-taking rather than a sign of bearish sentiment.

XRP is currently priced at $0.5554 with a 24-hour trading volume of $2.175 billion. Although it has dropped 4.55% over the past day, it has gained 18.5% over the past week.

Investors are waiting for the outcome of the SEC vs. Ripple case, which will most likely have a massive impact on the price of XRP.

If SEC deems that XRP is not a security, we could witness significant gains, while if Ripple lose, we can expect a plunge.
