XRP, a cryptocurrency backed by Ripple Labs, once again echoed a sense of curiosity among crypto market enthusiasts across the globe as it witnessed phenomenal whale activity recently. Intriguingly, this whale activity promptly gained significant traction as news of SEC’s appeal to Judge Torres appears to be surfacing over the crypto horizon. The U.S. SEC recently appealed to the court to delay the pending deadlines for remedies-related briefings.
Meanwhile, data revealed by the blockchain tracker Whale Alert showcased nearly 300 million XRP on the move, piquing the broader crypto market’s attention. These massive XRP whale transfers illustrated the shifting of noteworthy amounts of XRP to and fro from two CEXs.
Furthermore, when aligned with its derivatives data, the Ripple-backed token surged substantially, birthing market optimism while also hinting at an uptrend.

Meanwhile, with the impact of the colossal whale accumulation weighing in, as mentioned above, XRP’s price maintained a substantial upward momentum. Contrastingly, the whale dump to Bitstamp appears to have no impact on XRP’s price.
