What Does it Mean for Ripple’s Price?

Tl; DR

• The XRP whales, or those holding at least 10,000 tokens, have continued to accumulate in recent months, because the total number of these portfolios now exceeds 300,000.
• Although the price of XRP has remained relatively slow on a weekly scale, industry experts think that the accumulation of whales is “incredibly raised”.

As the graph below will show you, the XRP whales underwent a substantial purchase frenzy after the American elections, which was somewhat expected given the anticipation of major regulatory changes in the country that could affect national cryptography companies, such as Ripple.

After a minor interruption in December, when the total number of these investors dropped, they returned in force at the beginning of 2025 and did not look back since, apart from a few minor differences.

Glassnode data show that the number of addresses with more than 10,000 XRP exceeded 300,000, which is a record. According to the popular commentator of the Amonyx industry, this is “incredibly bullish” because he serves as “absolute proof of investors' confidence.”

Incredibly optimistic: #Xrp The whales arise a lot!

According to Glassnode, the number of addresses holding 10K + XRP has just fucked after 300K – absolute proof of investors' confidence.

Recall that the whales bought more than 900,000,000 XRP in April only. In terms of USD, this massive fortune was worth nearly $ 2 billion.

With the legal case of the SEC which apparently behind Ripple, the company now focuses on expansion after the acquisition of Hidden Road and the unsuccessful attempt to take over the circle. The XRP army, on the other hand, anticipates the approval of an ETF Spot after the recent good news on the front of the future ETF.

However, the American securities regulator delayed decision-making on the applications of Franklin Templeton ETF XRP and the new deadline is set in mid-June. ETF experts believe that summer 2025 will see the approval of many financial vehicles of this type depending on the performance of various cryptocurrencies, including XRP.

This may be that the “big money” is preparing.
