XRP Falls to 15-Month Low as Whales Accumulate $2.2B

XRP recently plunged close to $1.00, its lowest level in nearly 15 months, prompting widespread fear among short-term holders. The token rebounded and is trading near $1.44, holding a $1.42 support level, though downside risk toward $1.11 persists. Large holders returned to accumulation during the downturn.

Wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP added more than 1.6 billion tokens over the past week—exceeding $2.24 billion at current prices—which helped absorb sell-side pressure and stabilize the price. Long-term holders showed signs of distribution as XRP’s Liveliness spiked and long-held tokens moved back into circulation.

Continued selling from this group could offset whale demand and limit the token’s ability to sustain a recovery. Derivatives positioning remains bearish, with roughly $399 million in short exposure versus $152 million in long positions.
