XRP has witnessed a sharp increase in trading volume, hitting $16.69 billion in the past 24 hours. This sudden spike coincides with several large-scale transactions involving major holders, often called whales, suggesting strategic positioning in the market.
Whale Movements Signal Market Activity
Data from Whale Alert, a blockchain monitoring service, shows that approximately 292.7 million XRP have changed hands across multiple transactions in the past day. These significant movements hint at possible preparations for a market shift or a redistribution of XRP holdings by large investors.
One of the largest transactions recorded involved the transfer of 120 million XRP, valued at around $228.7 million, from the Bithumb exchange to an unidentified wallet. Additionally, Binance saw 13.46 million XRP worth $25.9 million transferred off its platform.
Upbit also reported the movement of 20 million XRP, worth nearly $36 million, to an unknown wallet. Two other transactions involved 109.4 million XRP, further emphasizing the heightened activity.
Analysts speculate that these transfers are a sign of whales anticipating a potential price rally or preparing for market volatility.
XRP Road to $2
Over the past 24 hours, the asset’s price has surged by 9.73%, reaching $1.90. Weekly gains have totaled 28%, propelling the token’s market capitalization to $108.26 billion. This increase has allowed it to surpass Binance Coin (BNB), solidifying its position as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency.
The $2 mark is now seen as a critical resistance level. If the token can break through this price point, it could open the door to further gains, showing the possibility of sustained upward momentum in the market.

Regulatory and Technological Developments Drive Optimism
Positive regulatory developments have also contributed to the recent enthusiasm for the token. Reports suggest that the RLUSD stablecoin, a dollar-pegged asset, could receive approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) as early as December 4. Such an approval would likely enhance the asset’s role in the broader financial ecosystem.
On the technological front, the Ledger is set to benefit from a new security proposal known as “XLS-86 Firewall.” This proposed feature aims to safeguard users by preventing large, unauthorized withdrawals where account keys may be compromised, adding an extra layer of security for XRP holders.
With trading volumes soaring and key whale movements signaling potential market shifts, the token appears poised for further gains. As market participants watch for a breakthrough at the $2 level, the asset’s momentum continues to build, positioning it for future success.
