Two Bullish Points in XRP Price News
1. Whales bought over $200 million worth of XRP this week.
Ripple wallets holding 1 – 100 million XRP tokens swelled with 320 million coins added from Sunday, Dec. 17 to Friday, Dec. 22. The XRP price surge over the holiday break may have happened as a result of these whale moves diminishing supply and led other market participants.
Meanwhile, a Solana whale recently moved 500,000 SOL, worth some $47,042,615 at the time, from an unknown wallet to Coinbase, according to Whale Alert.
There’s no telling for sure what they’ll do with their SOL on Coinbase, but ostensibly, the move onto an exchange is for selling or trading to scoop some profits on SOL price.
