On May 9, a massive XRP whale linked to Ripple made waves by transferring 370 million XRP (worth $782 million) into unknown wallets. Is this just a move, or part of a larger strategy? Let’s break it down.
Price Update:
Current Price: $2.56
Daily Range: $2.39 - $2.5
Support: $2.5 (holding steady)
Despite market fluctuations, XRP isn’t flinching—it's holding firm.
Whale Activity:
70 million XRP moved to an unknown wallet.
300 million XRP transferred from Ripple to another unknown wallet.
Looks like Ripple's got something brewing behind the scenes. 🧐
Whale Behavior:
Big investors are loading up on XRP—wallets with 1–10 million XRP now control 9.44% of the total supply, a jump from 8.24% in January. This isn’t panic selling—it’s smart buying.
On the Horizon:
Ondo Finance is launching a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund on the XRP Ledger, using Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. This could attract major institutional players.
The Chart Says:
XRP
2.5694
+2.42%
Support: $2.10 (solid)
Resistance: $2.40 (short-term), then $2.90–$3.00
Warning: Watch out for a potential "rounded top" pattern around $3.80, signaling a possible sell-off. Plus, a death cross may be forming—something to keep an eye on.
Bottom Line:
With whales still loading up and major finance moves on the horizon, XRP is positioned for something big. The question is, is this the calm before the next big explosion? Stay tuned! 🔥

The news rippled through the financial world, a familiar tremor emanating from the core of the Bitcoin market. In mid-May 2025, as the digital asset consolidated its gains after the halving, Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy once again stepped onto the grand stage of accumulation. With the price of Bitcoin hovering above $100,000, many anticipated a pause, perhaps a strategic re-evaluation. But Saylor's conviction remained unyielding.
fueled by the successful execution of their capital-raising strategy, MicroStrategy announced yet another substantial Bitcoin acquisition. Reports confirmed they had added thousands more Bitcoin to their already colossal treasury, pushing their total holdings well over the half-million mark, nearing an astounding 600,000 BTC. The sheer scale of the purchase underscored Saylor's unwavering belief in Bitcoin as the premier store of value and the ultimate long-term investment for a corporate treasury in a world of expanding money supply and economic unpredictability.
Critics who had long questioned the aggressive leverage and the concentration risk were, for the moment, quieter. The surging price of Bitcoin in the wake of the halving and increasing institutional adoption had vindicated, at least partially, Saylor's audacious strategy. He had consistently articulated his view that holding fiat currency was a losing proposition, a melting ice cube, while Bitcoin represented a scarce, appreciating asset with the potential to preserve and enhance shareholder value over decades.
This latest acquisition in May 2025 was more than just a transaction; it was a statement. It signaled that MicroStrategy, under

In a financial landscape often dominated by short-term thinking, relentless, conviction-driven accumulation of Bitcoin stood out – a strong narrative in the ongoing story of the digital transformation of corporate balance sheets.

How to Share a Trade Using the Trade Sharing Card



With Bitcoin breaking $100,000, #Binance ’s Changpeng Zhao outlined a golden rule to follow for good information.
The flagship cryptocurrency reclaimed $100,000 on Thursday, extending its recent high. The rally in particular has sparked enthusiasm in the crypto trailblazer, replacing the fear and panic seen a few weeks ago when Bitcoin hit $80,000.
Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao recently acknowledged this mood swing in a post by X, advising enthusiasts on how to stay profitable in crypto. He noted that Bitcoin is easy “only if you don’t panic.”
Don’t Just Panic Sell: CZ
#CZBİNANCE ’s tweet was specifically aimed at those who have been hesitant to sell their holdings due to market volatility in the past few markets.
According to him, it is very important to stay on top of fear, doubt and events (FUD), as panicking in adverse market conditions can lead to selling at a loss.
Remarkably, the former Binance CEO remained exceptionally calm during Bitcoin’s recovery from its all-time high of $109,300 in January to $74,000 last month. He often encouraged investors to leverage the dips to stay calm and buy more.
As Bitcoin regains its bullish momentum, CZ reiterated the benefits of not panicking and just holding. Accordingly, if you follow this simple yet golden rule, it is easier to make astonishing returns in cryptocurrency and crypto market cap in general.
Why People Don’t Hold: CZ
Meanwhile, in a parallel tweet on May 9, it was emphasized that for some people, the reason for holding is even more pressing. The article emphasized that the lack of an environment for HODLing is not the growth that comes from understanding blockchain technology and finance.
The reason for not holding is often due to lack of knowledge about technology, finance, and the world.
If you only bought Bitcoin because someone else told you to, you are less likely to panic.
Reading more helps. 🙏
— CZ 🔶 BNB (@undefined binance) May 9, 2025
The prominent industry leader noted that buying based on recommendations without knowledge of the data and outflow that holds Bitcoin everywhere results in lower conviction to hold during declines. To remedy this, CZ suggested personal research and learning.
As expected, CZ remains optimistic that recent gains are insufficient compared to future developments. Recall that you could previously predict that Bitcoin would trade between $500,000 and $1 million during this bullish debate.
