XRP Whale Transfers Jump as Large Holders Re-Engage

According to recent on-chain data, whale transfers of XRP to Binance have climbed to their highest level since December, signaling renewed activity from large portfolios.

The 30-day moving average of large transfers now stands at approximately 82.1 million XRP, while price trades near $1.47.

This marks a clear shift after several weeks of relative stability.

From Consolidation to Repositioning

Following a spike in December, whale flows declined and stabilized within a 50–60 million XRP range. That period coincided with price consolidation, suggesting reduced direct selling pressure and limited large-scale distribution from major holders.

The recent return to the 80+ million XRP range indicates that larger participants are becoming active again.

Whale inflows to exchanges typically represent potential supply entering the market. However, the direction of price depends on how demand responds to that supply.

A Critical Test for Market Structure

If rising inflows are met with weak spot demand, additional downside pressure could emerge as liquidity builds on the sell side. In that scenario, exchange-bound transfers may reflect preparation for distribution.

On the other hand, if XRP stabilizes around the $1.47 region despite elevated whale flows, it would suggest that the market is absorbing the available supply. Such behavior can indicate early base formation, where incoming liquidity is matched by sustained buying interest.

At this stage, the data points to repositioning rather than confirmed distribution. The next move will likely depend on whether demand strengthens enough to offset the renewed exchange inflows from large holders.
