XRP Whales Quietly Add 1.53 Billion Tokens As Retail Hesitates

XRP Whales Quietly Add 1.53 Billion Tokens As Retail Hesitates

In a new market update, a popular crypto commentator argues that large XRP holders are treating the recent pullback as a buying opportunity, not a reason to exit.

Oscar Ramos highlights fresh on-chain data showing aggressive accumulation by “whales” and frames the move as a textbook dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy while retail sentiment sits in “extreme fear.”

Whales Accumulate 1.53 Billion XRP, Eye Potential 50% Run

Citing data from Santiment, Ramos notes that wallets holding at least 1 million XRP have added roughly 1.53 billion XRP over the past six months. These high-balance wallets now control about three-quarters of the circulating XRP Ledger supply, according to the figures shared in the video.

The host links this accumulation to a recent on-chain signal suggesting a “potential 50% rally” in XRP, referencing a report that whales have pulled more than 720 million XRP from exchanges as “multiple bullish signs converge.”

The analyst points to a prior move when XRP traded more than 10% higher just days earlier, arguing the token “can pump” and may be setting up for a sharper move if broader market conditions improve.

Extreme Fear, Sideways Bitcoin & Regulatory Overhang

While XRP whales build positions, overall market sentiment remains deeply negative.

The YouTube video repeatedly shows the “extreme fear” reading on a popular crypto fear-and-greed gauge and contrasts it with the host’s own strategy: preferring to buy into fear rather than chase euphoria. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is holding around the $64,000 level with total crypto market capitalization near $1.3 trillion.

Oscar Ramos briefly references ongoing regulatory dynamics and Federal Reserve policy, mentioning a scheduled FOMC event and “clarity tomorrow” as potential catalysts for volatility.

Wider market movers over the last 24 hours and seven days are name-checked — including Sky AI, Worldcoin, Jito, Celestia, and others — but the focus stays on XRP’s positioning and whale behavior.

Staking, DeFi Expansion & XRP’s Long-Term Targets

Beyond near-term price action, the analyst flags Flare Network as a way to “put your XRP to work with DeFi,” implying expanding utility for the asset if Flare’s ecosystem continues to grow.

He also highlights a regulated yield platform listing XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other majors, emphasizing audited disclosures as a key selection criterion for liquidity pools.

Personally, the host says they have been accumulating XRP “for so long” and do not plan to sell below $3, a level not seen since the last cycle.

Yield from staking and liquidity strategies is central his approach: “I’m accumulating, letting the APY come in, and once the time comes we’ll take some profits and repeat the cycle.”

Viewers are left with a blunt choice: let whales “have it all” or “come to the party” while fear keeps prices subdued.
