⬤ XRP caught everyone's eye when blockchain metrics revealed massive buying by major holders. Whale wallets grabbed around 130 million XRP in just about 48 hours. The numbers break down into two groups: addresses sitting on 100 million to 1 billion XRP, and the real heavyweights holding over 1 billion tokens.
⬤ The biggest players kept climbing steadily, pushing their combined stash toward 25.4 billion XRP. Meanwhile, the mid-tier whale group took a dip around December 11 before leveling off. This split tells us tokens were moving between big holders rather than people rushing for the exits.
⬤ XRP's price stayed pretty calm while all this buying went down. Markets handled the extra demand without freaking out, which means there was enough liquidity to absorb the pressure. No panic selling showed up in the data either—this was clearly whales shuffling positions among themselves.
⬤ Why does whale watching matter? These massive wallets control huge chunks of XRP supply. When they move fast, it changes how liquid the market is and reshapes trading patterns. The data doesn't tell us where price goes next, but it shows how the dominant holders are setting up, and that tends to influence what everyone else thinks and does.
