$XRP Analysis.

The recent stagnation of the spot price of XRP may be less due to a decrease in market interest and more to an increase in over-the-counter trading, according to Jake Claver, a cryptocurrency expert and CEO of Digital Ascension Group. In a thread of 23 posts published on X, the commentator argued that "dark pools are an invisible force... that keeps prices stable," even with the acceleration of institutional demand.

Claver's thread, seen more than 250,000 times in 48 hours, posits that private liquidity centers are absorbing large buy orders that would otherwise inflate the public order book. "So, what is exactly a dark pool? Imagine trying to buy 500 million dollars in XRP without alerting the market," he wrote. "Dark pools are private spaces where large orders are executed from the major exchange platforms."
