MEXCXRP Whales Holding Hits ATH; Will XRP Price Surge?
XRP News: The long running legal tussle between Ripple and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is moving toward the much awaited Summary Judgment. The anticipation around the Ripple lawsuit ruling has driven the crypto whales to go on a heavy XRP accumulation spree.

Why whales are adding Ripple’s native token?
XRP price is on a constant decline over the past weeks. Its price has dropped by 12% in the last 7 days. This price action has motivated whales to accumulate more XRPs.
However, crypto whales have managed to move 120 million XRP in the last 24 hours. WhaleAlert reported that a whale address bought $17.6 million worth of XRP from the Bitso crypto exchange. Meanwhile, whales have moved around 70 million XRP to crypto exchanges in order to dump them.
