This accumulation has sparked positivity among market participants about the coin’s future potential.
CEXs have observed the accumulation of 139 million XRP through six whale transactions in the last 24 hours, as reported by Whale Alert.

However, it’s important to note that the renowned whale address ‘Rzn’ sold 43.72 million XRP to the CEXs Bitstamp and Bitso within the same timeframe. Furthermore, the price of XRP experienced a 6.28% decline to $0.574, hitting 24-hour lows and highs at $0.5685 and $0.6366, respectively.
This downward movement aligns with the broader trend in the crypto market, and recent developments around the XRP lawsuit, including the U.S. SEC calling off a closed-door meeting that could have addressed discussions about a potential settlement, have impacted market sentiment.
