Following the massive accumulation of the XRP, its price action spiked by almost 6%. An unknown whale amassed a total of $500 million worth of XRP on the 16th of September, 2022. The development was shared by CryptoVinco, a cryptocurrency data provider that covers market updates about top cryptos, especially Ripple.
After the fat purchase, Ripple’s XRP spiked from a 48-hour low of $0.324 to $0.37 at an almost 6% increase as stated by Coingecko.
Per CryptoVinco, XRP appears to be decoupling from the entire crypto market, as the asset’s price is up while others continue to decline.
