XRP’s price has been slipping, and whales are making big moves. On-chain data reveals a surge in whale activity, with hundreds of millions of XRP changing hands.
In just one week, XRP whales snapped up over 420 million tokens, worth more than $915 million, which shows strong confidence among investors in XRP. However, new wallet creation has dropped to a two-month low, showing that while whales are buying, retail interest remains cautious.
Recently, XRP surged 6% to $2.23 as over 108 million XRP traded in a single hour. Whales were highly active during the rally. XRP held steady, backed by strong buying pressure.
On-chain data shows that whales have been actively moving XRP over the last two weeks. On June 18, Ripple transferred 200 million XRP (around $439 million) to an unknown wallet, possibly for institutional use or strategic purposes.
Meanwhile, on June 12, June 15, and June 19, three large transactions totaling over 80 million XRP (worth around $175 million) were sent from unknown wallets to Coinbase, which were likely whales preparing to sell or take profits.
Previously, 230 million XRP were moved from Ripple to an unknown wallet, and 50 million XRP were moved between two unknown wallets. These large transfers point to increased XRP activity.
XRP might be trading sideways, but these transactions show that whales are quietly loading up. The number of wallets holding over 1 million XRP also hit a record high of 2,850.
Recently, XRP also saw a massive 442.7% jump in daily active addresses, hitting 181,000 in just 24 hours. This shows growing user interest and real network activity.
XRP is currently trading at $2.18, up 3.6% in the last 24 hours. It is showing gains of 2.7% over the past week and has recovered after dipping below $2.00 earlier in the week. The recent rebound and rising volume show that buyers are stepping in. But for a clear breakout, XRP must hold above $2.20. If rejected, price could revisit the $2.05–$2.10 support.
Technicals are mostly neutral with momentum and MACD showing mild bullish signals. The short-term EMAs are bullish while the longer-term SMAs (50, 100, 200) still show some resistance.
XRP’s recent price increase (e.g., 3.6% in 24 hours, jumping to $2.18) is driven by significant whale accumulation (over $915M in a week), a massive surge in daily active addresses, and positive market sentiment from the expected end of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit, potentially expediting XRP-spot ETF approvals.
Analysts have diverse predictions for XRP’s price in 2025. Some conservative estimates range from $2.50-$6, while more bullish forecasts suggest it could reach $8-$15, or even potentially $20-$30, especially with the likely end of the SEC lawsuit and potential spot XRP ETF approvals.
Whether XRP is a “good” investment depends on individual risk tolerance and investment goals. It offers potential for growth due to its use case in cross-border payments, growing institutional interest, and the expected resolution of its legal battle with the SEC. However, it’s also highly volatile, like all cryptocurrencies, and faces competition. Always conduct thorough research and consider consulting a financial advisor.
