XRP whales made an unusually large move off Binance as accumulation accelerated alongside the token’s powerful weekly rally above 40%.
ByChayanika Deka
XRP briefly surged past $1.7 before stabilizing near $1.4. While the token appears to have hit a wall after a massive rally, whale withdrawals from Binance have surged to their highest level in six months.
According to the latest findings by <a href="https://xpertsstudio.com/polands-crypto-firms-hit-a-regulatory-deadlock/” title=”Poland’s Crypto Firms Hit a Regulatory Deadlock”>CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, more than 231 million XRP have moved off the exchange by large holders.
Whale Accumulation
The withdrawals totaled more than $335 million in a single day, far above the 90-day average of roughly $40 million. Darkfost described the move as both sudden and powerful compared with the recent trend, while pointing to a significant change in behavior among large XRP holders.
The surge in whale outflows comes as the crypto asset’s market capitalization increased by $25 billion over the past week, during which the token gained more than 40%.
According to the analyst, this trend has potentially helped fuel XRP’s strong market performance and renewed attention. If this accumulation trend continues, Darkfost said the asset could potentially test the $2 level within a relatively short period.
This week, Ali Martinez flagged a major jump in XRP network activity, after active addresses rose to 356,070 from 47,180. That represents a surge of well over 654%, a level of activity that typically suggests increased participation and can coincide with sharper price swings.
Trouble Ahead?
But the derivatives market showed short-term pressure for XRP after the token cleared liquidity around resistance and moved back toward a major support zone. Long liquidations were recorded at approximately $4.66 million, a 31.82% daily increase, while short liquidations stood near $1.13 million after rising 61.61%.
