While most major cryptocurrencies saw red over the past 24 hours, XRP showed a rare sign of strength. Crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) shared a chart revealing that XRP’s trading volume rose 7.45% even as its price fell by over 5%.
The move stood out sharply against Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and most major assets, which all recorded steep declines in both price and volume.
The chart showed Bitcoin at $91,074.7, down 2.55% with a 15.58% drop in volume. Ethereum fell 2.85% to $3,113.04 with volume down 9.88%. Solana recorded a larger 5.02% price drop and a 14.59% fall in volume. XRP, however, showed the opposite pattern. Despite its price decline, the increase in volume suggested an influx of capital.

Are Whales Accumulating XRP?
EGRAG CRYPTO noted the contrast, emphasizing that XRP inflows were rising while the rest of the market contracted. The data hinted that whales might be accumulating XRP. “Understand what whales are doing,” he wrote, implying that the volume surge could be a sign of strategic positioning rather than panic selling.
XRP has seen notable whale activity in December. The chart shows that its daily trading volume of $5.57 billion placed it fourth overall, ahead of DOGE and BNB. When inflows rise during price dips, it often indicates accumulation by larger investors. The increase in trading activity amid a price decline supports that view.

Market participants closely watch these metrics to identify potential turning points in liquidity cycles. EGRAG CRYPTO’s post drew attention to this divergence.
While he did not make explicit price predictions, his focus on inflows highlighted a key shift in XRP’s market behavior. Historically, such volume changes have preceded strong rebounds in assets with deep liquidity and institutional participation.
XRP’s Unique Market Position Strengthens Its Case
XRP has received much attention lately. Multiple asset managers have launched spot XRP ETFs in recent weeks. These products have received significant attention from institutional and retail investors. The digital asset has yet to react positively to these developments. However, these whales might be accumulating XRP in anticipation of this upcoming rally.
EGRAG CRYPTO’s chart suggests renewed accumulation interest rather than distribution. For traders, that often signals confidence among larger entities. These whales can influence future price trends. If these inflows continue, XRP could be positioned for a stronger recovery.
