Whales Accumulation Triggers Bullish News for XRP
Ripple whales purchased more than 250 million XRP over the weekend, according to on-chain data platform Santiment. It follows as whales moved to buy the dip after a recent selloff of XRP during the weekend.
Popular trader Ali Martinez signaled that the Ripple whales are bullish on a further rally in XRP price. The significant transactions indicate confidence in XRP or strategic accumulation. Traders must watch for potential market moves and legal resolutions of crypto lawsuits.
Whale Alert reported multiple XRP tokens transactions, including a transaction of 149,000,000 tokens worth $227 million transferred from crypto exchange Bybit to a wallet. Also, a whale accumulated 20 million XRP from South Korean exchange Upbit.
In addition, on-chain data reported 58,333,326 XRP valued at $87 million transferred from Binance to a whale wallet.
As CoinGape reported earlier, whales are accumulating the tokens massively amid bullish sentiment. Donald Trump’s win in US presidential election and US SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s resignation have fueled sentiment for the potential end of the Ripple lawsuit.

Ripple’s token saw a correction over the weekend but whales buying the dip came as major news for XRP investors. The recent dip came from South Korean investors. However, analysts have given a target of $2 and a long-term price target of $20 amid various bullish news for XRP.
Total XRP futures open interests have now surpassed $2.50 billion, hitting a new high. The futures OI increased to 1.59 billion XRP worth $2.50 billion amid massive buying seen on Binance and Bybit, as per Coinglass data.
XRP price has jumped by more than 7% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $1.446. The 24-hour low and high are $1.327 and $1.535, respectively. However, the trading volume has dropped by 0.87% in the last 24 hours to $11.86 billion.
This mild slip is an indication that trader interest is down and generally market-dependent.
