The XRP whale has once again made its presence known, and blockchain data shows that the billionaire has turned off about 40 million tokens per day. The move comes from wallets that hold between 10 million and 100 million XRP. This is a bracket that is often used to measure the location of an institution or similar large entities.
So this type of wallet has lost over $120 million in XRP at its current price. This suggests that top players in the market are making major changes to their holdings.
Chart data shows how these wallets carry around XRP, from around XRP 7.78 billion to XRP 7.74 billion, confirming the scale of the sale. But that’s interesting. Because even with a massive decline, the market price of the XRP remained roughly the same as about $3.02.

Typically, changes in whales’ prices line up with changes in distribution between growth and decline. The latest patterns fit that bill. Large holders began trimming exposures as XRP recovered from their late August lows.
Market reaction
The whales are on sale strong, but their holdings are far higher than the lows we saw in mid-August, when the balance falls before it bounces back.
What’s really interesting about this episode is that the market didn’t break under pressure. Typically, 40 million XRPs can occur in the market very quickly, but in this case the tokens hold their position, suggesting that current demand is healthy enough to handle many outflows.
