XRP whale activity: A potential accumulation phase?
Recent on-chain data suggests a divergence between retail sentiment and institutional behavior regarding XRP:
Whale accumulation: While retail traders have been selling during recent price pullbacks (XRP holding near $1.06), large investors ("whales") are quietly increasing their positions.
Exchange metrics: Coinbase has seen a surge in large withdrawals (moving to private wallets), while Binance is approaching 50% whale dominance.
Market outlook: Analysts suggest this "quiet accumulation" by large holders—often seen when retail investors panic—historically precedes stronger upward momentum. With July historically being a strong month for XRP, some see this as a consolidation phase before a potential rally.$XRP
