On November 19, 2024, Whale Alert (@whale_alert), a prominent crypto whale tracking platform, reported two substantial XRP transactions. These transfers, involving millions of dollars, come at a time of heightened bullish sentiment around XRP.
The first transaction involved 100,000,000 XRP, valued at approximately $110.17 million, moving between two unknown wallets. Shortly after, a second transfer of 110,930,712 XRP, equivalent to $123.59 million, was sent from Binance to an unknown wallet.
Such large transactions often signal significant activity by cryptocurrency whales, entities, or individuals holding substantial amounts of digital assets.
Are Whales Preparing for Something Big?
This surge in whale activity aligns with a broader trend of XRP accumulation. Recent data revealed that whales acquired 453.3 million XRP, representing 18% of the total XRP available on exchanges. This trend indicates strong confidence in XRP’s prospects among large-scale investors.
XRP has experienced a notable resurgence, surpassing the $1 mark for the first time since 2021. This milestone has fueled optimism within the XRP community, particularly amid expectations of significant developments in the regulatory landscape.
Among these developments is speculation about the potential resignation of Gary Gensler, Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Gensler is closely tied to the ongoing legal battle between the SEC and Ripple, the major distributor of XRP, and has aggressively gone after other cryptocurrency companies.

The recent whale activity highlights a possible strategic accumulation ahead of this anticipated positive development. Large holders often act as early indicators of market sentiment, and their actions are closely monitored for insights into potential price movements.
Despite the optimism, market participants remain cautious. XRP’s price recovery faces challenges, including broader macroeconomic uncertainties and potential delays in regulatory progress. The digital asset seems to have stalled around $1.1, as no notable developments have occurred since Gensler hinted at his resignation.
However, the digital asset is still seeing notable activity, as its trading volume has risen by 10% over the past 24 hours. The continued interest from whales and increasing trading volumes signal robust support at current price levels.
The XRP community remains optimistic about Ripple’s ongoing efforts to expand its use case. Recent partnerships and developments in cross-border payments have reinforced XRP’s position as a leading cryptocurrency for facilitating fast and cost-effective transactions, and the community is patiently waiting for another price increase.
