In a strategic move that has the cryptocurrency community buzzing, Ripple, a major player in the American payment industry, recently unveiled its Q4 2023 report, offering a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of its XRP holdings.

It’s not going to be an easy ride from here. Are you ready for the rollercoaster?

Understanding the Numbers

In the transition from Q3 to Q4 2023, Ripple’s spendable XRP balance experienced a noteworthy decrease, dropping by a staggering 180,503,629 tokens. The dust settled at 5,077,658,695, signaling a significant strategic shift in the company’s portfolio. Simultaneously, the escrow balance witnessed a decline of 600 million tokens, settling at 40,700,000,005.

This cumulative decrease amounted to a hefty 780 million tokens, culminating in a total XRP holding of 45.77 billion by the close of December 31, 2023.

XRP’s Strategic Sale

One of the most eye-catching revelations from the report is the sale of over a billion XRP tokens during Q4 2023. Compare this to the beginning of the quarter, where Ripple held 46.55 billion XRP, and the report suggests a strategic maneuver involving the sale of a whopping 1,006,417,233 (1.006 billion) XRP. It’s a chess game, and Ripple just made a strategic move.

Over the past month, data obtained through Ripple’s API reveals a persistent decrease in Ripple’s XRP holdings. As of January 28, the spendable balance stood at 5.05 billion XRP, coupled with an additional 40.5 billion XRP secured in escrow. The fusion of both accessible and non-accessible wallets paints the picture of a total XRP portfolio now amounting to 45.5 billion. The plot thickens.

A Look into the Future

Yesterday, XRP experienced a noteworthy surge, reaching $0.5338, hinting at potential upward momentum. Eyes are set on the next target: a resistance level at $0.5629, a pivotal point aligning with the 50% retracement of its decline from the highest point in 2024 to the low on January 31. Should XRP breach this resistance, it paves the way for a continued rally toward the next frontier at $0.6012.
