XRP News: Ripple Whales Sparking Optimism With Massive Accumulation

Investors are keeping a close track of the XRP news and updates amid the soaring price of the crypto. Notably, the crypto has hit its highest level recently since 2021, crossing the brief $1 mark, sparking market optimism.

Amid this, a flurry of reports indicates that XRP whales are on a buying spree which has fueled the market optimism. Besides, a recent Santiment report showed that the rally comes with backing from whale and shark wallets that hold between 1 million and 100 million tokens. The report showed that this group has accumulated a total of over 453.3 million tokens, worth around $526.3 million, in the last week alone.
