There’s whale accumulation in XRP
cryptocoin.com As we reported, interest in XRP has grown exponentially after Ripple’s legal victory over the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The XRP Ledger native token has witnessed notable growth in active addresses, with an astonishing 23.7 percent average increase over the past 30 days. The number of active addresses for 365 days also showed an average increase of 43.2%, indicating an increased interest in XRP. Also, deep-pocketed investors have accumulated around 838 million XRP tokens since May, even before the positive decision in the SEC vs Ripple case. The increase in whale and shark hoards contributed to the increase in XRP trading volume, reaching levels not seen in more than ten months.
