XRP Whale Accumulation Reaches Record Levels

XRP whales holding 10 million to 100 million tokens now control 17.04% of the supply, up from 12.21% in October 2025. Their holdings rose from 7.89 billion to 11.06 billion XRP, equivalent to $4.5 billion, during a bearish market. The most aggressive buying occurred over 20 days in November, with holdings increasing from 8.33 billion to 10.82 billion XRP.

XRP Price Decline and Market Context

XRP has dropped 61.2% from its July 2025 all-time high of $3.66 to $1.42. The cryptocurrency has faced four consecutive bearish monthly candles since August 2025, with February showing a further 13.33% decline. A fifth consecutive negative month would mark the first such streak since 2016 and 2017.

Redistribution Among Smaller Whales

Smaller XRP holders (100,000 to 10 million tokens) have reduced holdings by 3 billion XRP since October 2025, with the 1 million to 10 million tier contributing 2.8 billion tokens to the decline. This reduction peaked in November, coinciding with the largest whale accumulation, suggesting a potential transfer of tokens to major holders.
