XRP has surpassed $1.60 for the first time since February 4, coinciding with 1,917 whale transactions worth over $100,000 each, the strongest high-value activity in roughly a month. While whale transactions alone don’t confirm accumulation, they show major holders actively repositioning as price climbs. The breakout also brought fresh participation, with 3,647 new XRP wallets created, adding new buyers to the rally rather than relying solely on existing traders.
