XRP has seen an 8% price increase over the past five weeks, driven by significant accumulation from large holders, or whales, while smaller investors have been selling off. On-chain data from Santiment reveals that wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million XRP have increased their holdings by 2.8% during this period. This accumulation coincides with XRP's price rebound to $1.16 from $1 at the end of June. In contrast, smaller wallets have reduced their XRP holdings by 5.2%, indicating a capitulation among small investors. Santiment suggests that this divergence in behavior is bullish for XRP, as historically, the cryptocurrency's price has aligned more closely with the actions of large stakeholders. The positive sentiment is further supported by developments such as improved institutional access through potential ETF products and ongoing utility on the XRP Ledger.
