XRP whales are seen transferring their assets to Binance in large amounts, ranging from 0.2 billion to 6.9 billion tokens per day. Binance stands out as the leading platform for XRP deposits in the industry.
Speculations suggest that the increasing positivity surrounding XRP ETFs is contributing to this trend. Although the final approval for XRP ETFs might still be some time away, progress being made has effects on the overall XRP market.
The cryptocurrency community is showing great enthusiasm for XRP ETFs, influencing some optimistic behaviors. Recent data indicates that monitoring XRP whale activity on Binance serves as a valuable indicator of market dynamics.
As per CryptoQuant's analysis, Binance is currently experiencing the highest level of XRP whale activity. These traders are not only participating in the market but are also impacting it with consistent movements.
Despite potential risks of XRP price decline due to continuous deposits on Binance, the trend persists:
"The influx of XRP by whales into Binance tends to signal turning points for XRP's price. For instance, a surge in XRP inflows from 1.2 to 6.9 billion bottomed out the XRP price between Apr 7-9. Similarly, in early March, the XRP price reached a local peak as whale deposits rose from 0.7 to 2.9 billion XRP," stated Julio Moreno, Head of Research at CryptoQuant.
In March, a notable surge in XRP whale activity was observed, potentially indicating an upcoming distribution phase. Recent data confirms that these high-volume traders purchased over 900 million XRP tokens in April.
The trading volume of XRP on exchanges is markedly increasing.
This surge in activity may have adverse effects on the XRP price, but the impact might be minimal in the long term as these traders have the ability to sway the XRP market, taking this into consideration in their strategies.
Although the XRP ETF faced some setbacks recently, the overall outlook remains positive. Even in the event of approval, there are concerns about its limited market appeal, particularly when Bitcoin ETFs dominate around 90% of this market segment.
Nevertheless, the strong optimistic sentiment displayed by these whales towards the future of XRP is noteworthy.
