In recent developments, whales have recently acquired approximately 47 million XRP tokens which is valued at $25.86 million. This accumulation of tokens comes at a time when its price has experienced significant price declines, sparking speculation about a potential market reversal.

According to on-chain transactions tracker Whale Alert, it has been reported reported that two major transfers to unknown wallet addresses. The first transaction saw 22 million tokens ($12.08 million) moved from Upbit to wallet “r418…pVGH“. In the second transfer, 24.8 million tokens ($13.7 million) was sent from Binance to wallet “rfQ9…k8Cvi“. This substantial accumulation by XRP whales during a price dip suggests that some large investors see current prices as an attractive entry point, possibly anticipating price reversals.

However, amidst all these developments the market sentiment remains mixed.

This selling activity is viewed by some analysts as profit-taking which is only normal amongst investors as well as being a common strategy among traders.
