Renowned crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts) recently highlighted a significant development in the XRP market.
In a tweet accompanied by data from Santiment, a leading blockchain analytics platform, Ali reported that whales accumulated approximately 1 billion XRP within 48 hours.
This substantial purchase underscores a surge in interest among large-scale investors, typically considered a bullish signal for any asset class.
The chart shared by Ali provides a detailed view of this accumulation, showing a spike in XRP whale holdings. This activity involved wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP, a range often associated with institutional or high-net-worth individual investors.

Despite the substantial accumulation, XRP’s price has remained relatively unchanged, currently trading at $2.35, reflecting a 3.82% decrease over the past week.
Market Reactions and Community Sentiment
Ali’s tweet sparked varied reactions from the crypto community. An X user, Four, commented, “That’s a massive move! Looks like the whales are feeling bullish. Exciting times ahead for XRP holders!” Another user, Anier, added, “They know what’s coming,” implying that whale investors might anticipate significant developments for XRP soon.
However, not all responses were optimistic. ISOCRYPTOGUY questioned the lack of immediate price impact, stating, “And the price did nothing really.” This sentiment reflects a broader observation within the crypto market, where increased whale accumulation does not always translate into immediate price movements.

Price Performance and Broader Implications
XRP’s current price of $2.35 represents a 3.82% decline over the last seven days, suggesting that the market may still be consolidating or awaiting further catalysts. While whale accumulation is often interpreted as a precursor to potential price increases, the broader market sentiment and macroeconomic factors remain critical in determining the asset’s trajectory.
The significant accumulation also coincides with ongoing discussions about XRP’s role in the financial sector, particularly its potential utility in cross-border payments and integration with ISO 20022 standards. The timing of such whale activity might hint at strategic positioning ahead of anticipated announcements or broader adoption.
