The Whale vs. Retail Battle Has Begun in $XRP – A New Market Era Unfolds

CryptoQuant data shows whales were buying aggressively in futures hours ahead of the $XRP Spot ETF announcement, taking advantage of price pressure.

After the announcement, the trend flipped: retail investors surged in, with small-scale orders exploding. The classic “whales first, retail later” dynamic is back.

Analysts note this pattern suggests:

• A new era for $XRP is starting

• Increased volatility ahead

• Emotional trading is rising

Early movers benefited, but late-arriving volatility caught many off guard.

Whales’ strategic positioning is now colliding with retail’s reactive behavior, setting the stage for potentially sharp price movements in $XRP.

Not investment advice.
