XRP Whale Activity Signals Potential Profit-Taking
Recent spikes in XRP whale transactions on the XRP Ledger indicate that large holders are potentially preparing to take profits after the cryptocurrency's price jumped over 40% year-to-date. This surge has pushed XRP to a price of around $3.2, according to CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu.
Woominkyu, citing historical data, notes that similar spikes in whale activity often precede notable market corrections, typically driven by profit-taking. This latest surge, as analyzed in a CryptoQuant report (link), strongly suggests whales are positioning for profit realization.

Recent XRP Market Performance and Factors
XRP's market capitalization recently surpassed that of Goldman Sachs, reaching $193.5 billion, fueled by several factors:
- Potential for XRP ETFs: A JPMorgan report highlights the potential for billions of dollars in inflows from a spot XRP ETF.
- Positive Regulatory Expectations: The anticipated change in US regulatory environment under President-elect Donald Trump, including the appointment of a crypto-friendly SEC Chair Paul Atkins, has boosted investor confidence.
- Ripple's Legal Battle: The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC has created market uncertainty, yet the potential resolution could positively impact XRP.
