A wave of massive XRP movements has reignited bullish speculation across the crypto market. According to crypto analyst Xaif, two identical transactions, each transferring 153.2 million XRP, were executed from Uphold to the same wallet within just 60 seconds. Together, these transfers moved a total of 306.4 million XRP, worth nearly $998.1 million, making it one of the most significant whale activities seen this month.
While large transactions aren’t uncommon in crypto, the timing, volume, and precision of these moves have raised eyebrows. Earlier the same day, Coinbase also recorded a notable transfer, 9.2 million XRP worth over $30 million, sent to a different address. Though not nearly as large, the proximity in timing adds to the growing signs of strategic repositioning among major XRP holders.
Whale Accumulation Surges as Exchange Outflows Deepen
This activity coincides with a broader trend of intensified whale accumulation. On-chain data reveals that XRP wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million tokens added more than 130 million XRP in a single day. These wallets now control 8.31 billion XRP, or approximately 14% of the circulating supply, a historic high for this group.

In parallel, whale-to-exchange flows have sharply declined, dropping more than 93% since early July. This shift suggests a decrease in immediate sell-side pressure and a potential setup for a supply shock, should demand continue to rise.
XRP Price Holds Firm as Breakout Levels Approach
As of report time, XRP is trading at $3.16, consolidating after reaching an intraday high of $3.32. Analysts are closely monitoring the $3.35–$3.40 resistance zone, which aligns with a key one-hour God Candle backtest at $3.42. A breakout above this range could open the path to $3.62, and if momentum builds, further upside targets of $3.83 and even $4 are back in play.

Adding fuel to the bullish outlook, a whale recently opened a long position worth $11.44 million at $3.2979, notably higher than XRP’s 90-day average price. This bold bet has led some to speculate that larger players may be anticipating a major catalyst, whether technical or fundamental.
Positioning Ahead of Something Bigger?
While Ripple’s regulatory battle with the SEC remains an underlying factor, market watchers believe these synchronized transfers may foreshadow a more significant development. Possibilities range from institutional adoption moves and ETF-related momentum to upcoming announcements from Ripple or its partners.
Xaif’s alert about the rapid $1 billion shift from Uphold has caught the market’s attention. Combined with reduced exchange flows, increasing whale dominance, and strengthening technical signals, all signs point toward an XRP breakout. Whether that breakout arrives in the coming days or takes longer to unfold, the whales appear to be preparing for a move, and the market is watching closely.
