Updated: Jan 09 2026- Change in Whale Activity: Since December 2025, large XRP transfers to Binance have significantly declined, indicating reduced selling pressure from whales, which could stabilize XRP's price in the short term.
- Rise of Retail Investors: As whale activity decreases, retail investor participation in XRP transfers has increased, reflecting a shift in market dynamics that may support XRP's price.
- Market Dynamics Shift: The reduction in whale inflows suggests a transition from whale-driven volatility to more retail-led activity, potentially leading to a more stable market environment for XRP.
- Future Outlook: While the decline in whale activity may alleviate downward pressure on XRP's price, the market must monitor whether retail investors can sustain this momentum or if whales will re-enter when conditions improve.
