Ripple’s XRP Sees Significant Price Surge: What You Need to Know

XRP has emerged as a standout performer among larger cryptocurrencies today, reaching almost $2.30 for the first time in about a week.

Despite this rise, which has been accelerated by the introduction of new XRP ETFs in the US market, there are signs that large investors, or whales, might be offloading their assets again.

XRP Reaches Weekly Peak

The cross-border token suffered a substantial decline last week, dropping from over $2.50 to below $1.85 within just ten days. However, after hitting a low point for several months, buyers stepped in, pushing prices back up to above $2.00 in the days following.

In the last 24 hours, XRP has climbed close to $2.30, marking a weekly high. The driving factor behind this significant increase appears to be the launch of spot XRP ETFs in the United States, specifically the two that began trading on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.

These XRP ETFs have attracted considerable capital, with total net inflows currently exceeding $164 million. Grayscale’s ETF launched with an impressive $67.36 million, while Franklin Templeton’s product saw $62.59 million on its debut. This marked the second-best day for net inflows for XRP ETFs, just behind Canary’s launch on November 14.

The price movements of XRP now contrast sharply with other recent ETF launches from Bitwise and Canary Capital, where subsequent corrections followed quickly after their introduction.

Whales Continue to Offload

Despite today’s impressive 7% gain, XRP has risen nearly 20% over the past three days. The arrival of new ETFs in the United States is seen as a positive development for XRP holders. Nonetheless, whales have been actively selling, as indicated by recent data.

According to insights from Ali Martinez, these large investors have sold over 180 million XRP tokens, adding pressure to the market. Such actions could trigger panic among smaller investors, potentially leading to further sell-offs.
