Ripple Whales Push 120 Million XRP in Recent Market Dip

In the last 24 hours, with an impressive surge of 12.8%, XRP has outperformed almost all the other cryptos in the top ten by market cap list, including BTC and ETH. Reports indicate that Ripple whales have played a crucial role in this bullish momentum. In a recent X post, a crypto expert, Ali Martinez, stated that at least 120 million XRP were brought by whales during the recent market dip. Read on for more details! 

Ripple Whales Drive XRP Recovery 

At the start of the year, the price of XRP was around $2.0813. Between January 10 and 17, the market witnessed a steep rise of 44.72%. On January 16, the market touched a monthly peak of $3.4040. On January 19, the market experienced a severe single-day correction of 9.74%. The market has not yet fully recovered from the correction, even though buyers successfully pushed the price to $3.28 on January 22. 

According to Ali Martinez’s post, as many as 120 million XRP were purchased by Ripple whales during the recent market dip. This indicates that the recent market correction has made no influence on the confidence of investors in the future of XRP. 

In the last 24 hours alone, the XRP market has experienced a rise of 12.8%.

Ripple recently secured Money Transmitter Licenses in New York and Texas, indicating its growing acceptance in the United States market. 

Most experts think that these developments have positively influenced the XRP market.
