In an exciting turn of events, following a remarkable month witnessed by XRP as its price soared nearly 30%, a noteworthy rise in whale activity appears to be piquing the interest of crypto market traders and investors globally. This burgeoning whale activity hovering over the crypto horizon, while the Ripple-backed token continues to pave its way toward the $0.7 mark, birthed a tidal wave of speculation for XRP across the vast sea of crypto.

Numerous whale addresses collectively accumulated 95.2 million XRP from Binance, whereas a renowned XRP whale transferred 22.6 million XRP to Bitstamp. These colossal accumulations garnered noteworthy attention among crypto market investors globally, hinting at a bolstered sense of confidence among whales for the Ripple-backed digital asset. Meanwhile, the renowned XRP whale’s dump to Bitstamp has emerged as a recurring phenomenon following Ripple’s strategic stake acquisition in the CEX, signaling efforts to regulate the token’s supply. 
With XRP showcasing phenomenal monthly and weekly gains, per CoinMarketCap’s data, these accumulations further fell in line with the market optimism for the Ripple-backed token.
