A recent post by analyst Ali Martinez says 900 million XRP was scooped up by whales in 48 hours. The analyst shared a chart indicating a substantial transfer of large holdings into whale-size wallets over a short timeframe.
The implications of this development merit careful consideration across liquidity, market perception, and ecosystem funding.
The chart attached to the post shows a marked increase in large-wallet balances that aligns with recent upward price movement. This concurrence suggests that large traders or institutional accounts increased exposure while prices were trending higher.
Such coordinated whale buying can strengthen upward price trends while maintaining the balance between buyers and sellers. This allows the market to handle trades without sudden price swings.

Liquidity Support and Market Stability
Significant whale accumulation often enhances available liquidity when held on exchange or routed through market makers. By concentrating sizable holdings within fewer accounts that actively provide liquidity, the market can absorb larger orders with reduced slippage. That mechanism benefits retail and institutional participants by supporting more orderly execution and narrower spreads.
When large holders demonstrate accumulation rather than rapid liquidation, they provide a stabilizing presence. Committed whale investors who retain positions through short-term volatility can mute downward pressure during sell-offs and support price floors. In this case, the 48-hour build suggests intent beyond opportunistic trading, which aligns with long-term accumulation behavior.

Ecosystem Investment And Confidence
Whales have also shown increased interest in XRP because of the recent conclusion of Ripple and the SEC’s legal battle, with one whale moving almost $100 million in XRP shortly after Ripple and the SEC filed the joint motion to dismiss their appeals.
Concentration of supply carries inherent risks. Rapid accumulation by a small number of wallets can create the potential for outsized market moves if positions are liquidated. However, many XRP whales are confident in the asset’s long-term performance, with significant long positions.
Whales have a great influence over market movements and can also act as sources of capital for projects that expand XRP’s utility. While most whales hold XRP as a long-term investment, some may channel resources into ventures such as payment gateways, liquidity services, or infrastructure, which could strengthen XRP’s real-world utility.
Additionally, visible whale accumulation functions as a signal of confidence to other market participants and potential institutional partners. It points to increased interest in the ecosystem and may improve liquidity and market functioning if holdings are used to foster practical use cases that extend beyond speculative trading.
