XRP has captured the attention of the crypto market with a remarkable 40% price increase over the past week, driven by significant whale activity. According to data from Santiment, wallets holding at least one million XRP have reached their highest accumulation levels since June 2018. This surge in interest is also tied to regulatory speculation and the ongoing SEC-related developments.
Major Accumulation Boosts XRP’s Market Value
XRP’s impressive rally saw its price soar to $0.847 last Thursday, marking its highest level in four months. This performance coincided with a substantial increase in accumulation by large XRP holders, often referred to as “whale” and “shark” wallets. These wallets now hold a total of 45.61 billion XRP, with an additional 3.44 billion XRP accumulated over the last two years—a 8.16% increase in holdings.
This growing accumulation reflects long-term confidence in XRP’s potential, as large investors align their strategies with the ongoing market rally. In just one week, XRP managed to surpass $0.82, maintaining its upward trend. Speculation about possible changes at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including rumors of SEC Chair Gary Gensler stepping down, has further fueled optimism about a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies.
The Future of XRP
Ripple’s XRP has long been at the center of critical legal battles, particularly with the SEC. These regulatory challenges have significantly impacted its price and market perception. However, XRP’s recent gains may be tied to expectations of reduced legal uncertainty or a potential softening in regulatory policies.
The token’s future performance will largely depend on the strategies of major investors and the outcomes of ongoing regulatory developments. As Ripple seeks to rebuild investor confidence after its legal hurdles, the rising demand for XRP signals that the token retains its long-term potential.
Key Insights for Investors
XRP’s rally demonstrates its resilience in the face of regulatory challenges, while major investors’ growing interest underscores its continued relevance in the crypto market. As the landscape evolves, XRP’s success will likely hinge on both the regulatory climate and its expanding use cases.
