ALRIGHT FAM, something huge just went down in the XRP ocean and the whales are NOT playing.
On May 9, a Ripple-linked giga whale dropped 370 million XRP (that’s like $782M in real world money) straight into unknown wallets. Just vibes? Or some next-level chess? Let’s break it down like you actually wanna read this.
First up: XRP ain’t flinching.
Current price? $2.36
Daily range? Calm. Holding between $2.29 – $2.42
Price change? Basically sideways but not dead. Holding it down above that juicy $2.10 support.
So yeah, the market shook a little but XRP said “nah I’m good.”
Meanwhile… Whale Alert went full detective mode:
• 70M XRP → mystery wallet
• 300M XRP → straight from Ripple to another mystery spot
That’s not pocket change. That’s “we’re planning something” energy. Maybe internal moves. Maybe big boy plays behind the curtain. Either way, eyes on Ripple.
Zoom out: The whales are stacking.
According to Santiment, addresses holding 1M–10M XRP are now sitting on 9.44% of the supply (up from 8.24% in Jan). Translation? Smart money ain’t leaving. They’re buying.
Long-term vision. Diamond hands. You already know the vibes.
Also, the Fed tried to steal the spotlight.
Powell & crew decided to keep interest rates unchanged. No surprise. But the market gave it a side-eye. Crypto didn’t moon. Didn’t doom. XRP just… chilled.
New alpha drop: Ondo’s got plans.
Ondo Finance is pulling up with a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund on the XRP Ledger. Big institutions might be coming through the backdoor with this one. It’ll use Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD to mint/redemption U.S. gov assets 24/7. Yeaaah… that’s real yield on-chain talk.
Oh, and Ripple? They’re done dropping quarterly reports. Too many haters twisting the info during court battles. Fair.
What the charts say:
• Support: $2.10 (holding like a champ), next levels: $1.85, $1.60
• Resistance: $2.40 (short-term), next block is $2.90 – $3.00
• That curve near $3.80? Classic whale dump shape—rounded top alert.
Death cross might be brewing (50-day SMA creeping under 200-day SMA), so watch your levels.
Bottom Line:
The XRP whales just made a power move. Big wallets are still loading up. Real-world finance is tiptoeing into the XRP Ledger. And despite some warning signs on the charts… XRP’s holding its ground like a seasoned vet.
Is this calm before the next XRP BLAST?
Keep your eyes peeled. Something’s brewin’.
