Ripple Whales Fill the Void as Retail Investors Withdraw From XRP, Says Analyst

A notable market observer has highlighted an "ideal situation" for XRP, with large whales now serving as the primary buyers of the asset. This shift comes as XRP's price has faltered, dropping 5% in the last week and slipping to fifth place in market cap rankings. Despite a lengthy history and a vocal retail investor base, recent activity in the XRP ecosystem has shown a decline in retail interest. Instead, whales have been increasing their spot and futures XRP positions, a move the analyst regards as highly favourable for the asset. It was also noted that these whales have been on an accumulation spree for over a year, buying at low points prior to uptrends and focusing on the $1.20 and $3.00 price cluster.
