Despite the plummet, data indicates that large XRP token wallet holders remain reluctant to release their tokens. The whales are reportedly taking advantage of the opportunity to buy the dip across various exchanges.&nbsp;
WhaleAlerts mentioned that major whales transferred substantial amounts of XRP from various exchanges to private and unknown wallets. The on-chain data analytics platform pointed out one particular transaction worth over $12 million from <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/binance-contests-tax-penalty-by-indias-dggi/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance </a>to an unknown wallet.
WhaleAlerts also revealed that the transaction is part of a larger trend that illustrates a reluctance to sell the tokens. In the past 24 hours, over $75 million worth of XRP tokens were moved to private addresses from major exchanges.

WhaleAlerts also reported an accumulated 228.54 million XRP token transfer from various exchanges in the past 48 hours.
Data from Santiment revealed that whale accumulation of XRP tokens has significantly increased in the past few months. Santiment stated that more wallets hold between 10,000,000 and 100,000,000 XRP tokens now than three months ago.&nbsp;
The on-chain data analytics platform also suggested that the increased XRP token accumulation by the whales indicated investors are ready to re-enter the <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/bitcoin-fear-and-greed-index-territory/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency </a>market.&nbsp;
Observers pointed out the behavior illustrates optimism in XRP’s long-term performance amid the overall market price drop. They added that increased holding reduces selling pressure and is often followed by price gains.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 This crash which pushed XRP to an oversold position was a result of the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple. Despite this the contraction eventually resulted in an XRP upsurge to $1.96 in April 2021.

WhaleAlerts data also revealed contrasting trends, with more sell-offs in the past 24 hours. Over $15 million worth of XRP tokens were transferred from a private wallet to the exchange Bitstamp.&nbsp;
