Ripple’s XRP Price Explodes – But Will Whales Crash the Party?

Well, well, well, look who decided to take center stage today – Ripple’s native token! It shot up faster than a speeding bullet, reaching almost $2.30 for the first time in a whole week. Someone’s been hitting the gym, huh?

But before you start making your “XRP to the moon” memes, let’s pump the brakes for a sec. Sure, the rally’s nice, but there’s a little thing called “whales” lurking in the background, and they’re really good at spoiling the party. 🐋

XRP’s Wild Ride to the Top

Last week, XRP took a dive that made people question if it had a parachute. The price plummeted from over $2.50 to under $1.85 faster than you can say “cryptocurrency crash.” But, just like a bad soap opera, the bulls swooped in to save the day! They rallied and got it back over $2.00. Big applause for them, huh? 👏

And now? Well, the party continues! In the last 24 hours, XRP shot up to nearly $2.30, setting a weekly high. You can thank the launch of spot XRP ETFs in the good ol’ US of A for this magical moment. It’s like the crypto equivalent of a golden ticket. 🍫

These new ETFs are rolling in the dough, with net inflows reaching a jaw-dropping $164 million. Yes, you read that right – MILLION. Grayscale’s product made a splash with $67.36 million, and Franklin Templeton’s ETF wasn’t far behind with $62.59 million on day one. It’s like a crypto version of “who’s got the biggest wallet?”

XRP ETF FLOWS: $XRP ETFs saw $164.04M in net inflows yesterday.

On its first day of trading, the Grayscale XRP ETF saw a net inflow of $67.36M.

While Franklin Templeton’s ETF saw inflows of $62.59M on its first day.

And while XRP’s price is looking hot, the past launch experiences of Bitwise and Canary Capital were anything but. Both of those had a “whoops, not again” moment followed by an immediate correction. So, what’s the deal? Is history repeating itself, or is this a one-time love affair? 😏

Whales are Party Poopers, Again

Okay, okay. So, Ripple’s token soared by 7% today and nearly 20% in just three days. That’s impressive, right? But here’s the plot twist – while small investors are dancing, the whales are selling. And when they sell, the price gets a little… wobbly. 🎢

Ali Martinez has the scoop: These giant market players offloaded another 180 million tokens. And guess what? The selling pressure increases, which could trigger a panic-sell among the little guys. It’s like that one kid who keeps crying during dodgeball – ruining it for everyone else. 😩

While $XRP jumped 17% in the last 72 hours, whales used the move to lock in profits, selling more than 180 million tokens.
