Crypto commentator Austin Hilton says XRP is in a major accumulation phase right now. Whale wallets are growing, exchange supply is falling, and his trading indicator has issued a buy alert. Hilton argues these signals are arriving simultaneously and confirm that large holders are buying XRP at current prices.
Whale Wallets Hit a 2026 High
Hilton focused his analysis on wallet data tracking holders of over 1 million XRP. Those wallets now number 2,147, a new high for 2026. That figure represents 28 new wallets in just 10 days. Hilton describes this as “major accumulation signal” territory.
Large holders, in his view, represent “the smart money in the room.” These wallets have added over 60 million XRP in the last two weeks alone.

XRP is Leaving Exchanges
Exchange supply is also declining. He noted that XRP holdings on major platforms like Binance, Coinbase, and Crypto.com have dropped by 149 million, bringing exchange supply to 22.34 billion. Hilton says this is a signal many people misread.
When XRP leaves exchanges and moves into private wallets or cold storage, holders are signaling they do not plan to sell. Exchanges are where most XRP gets sold. Removing the asset from that environment suggests long-term conviction.
A Trading Indicator Confirms the Zone
Hilton also referenced his proprietary trading indicator, which has generated a buy alert for XRP. He walked through previous signals, noting gains of 44%, 13%, and 48% across prior buy-to-sell cycles.
XRP is currently trading at $1.15, below its 200-day moving average. His indicator is showing the same accumulation signal currently visible in XLM, which recently produced a 39% move following three consecutive buy signals.
Key Levels and Liquidity
Hilton says XRP can recover above $1.30 to $1.40 in the near term, but only if liquidity returns to the crypto market. He sees current conditions as bearish, with money flowing into short positions on XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. Inflation data and Federal Reserve decisions will play a role in determining when that liquidity shifts. He also flagged macro risks including geopolitical tensions as potential headwinds.
What to Watch
Hilton outlined three metrics to track. He wants to see whether million-XRP wallets continue to grow, whether large holders keep adding to their positions, and whether exchange balances continue to decline. He acknowledged XRP could still see further downside if the broader market pulls back.
Despite that, he says the accumulation data is clear. “Accumulation signals are everywhere,” he stated. The next catalyst is a liquidity event that returns buying pressure to the market.
