Whales Snap Up 11 Million XRP Tokens Every Day
While smaller investors are hesitating, whales, the people with the largest accounts, have completely shifted their strategy. According to data from CryptoQuant, these big players are now buying more than 11 million XRP every single day.
This is the highest level of whale buying we have seen in ten months. For the first time in three months, the “Whale Flow” has turned positive, meaning these big holders are no longer selling; they are hoarding. Even better for the bulls, these tokens are being moved off exchanges and into private wallets. This leaves fewer coins available to be sold, which can help push the price up if demand keeps growing.
Japan Event Creates a Green Light for Big Money
The timing of this massive buying spree isn’t an accident. A major XRP Ledger conference is happening in Tokyo this week, bringing together top executives from Ripple and SBI Holdings (SBHGF).
Japan has always been a stronghold for the token, and investors are watching this event for news on institutional adoption and new banking partnerships. History shows that these whales often buy heavily just before major news breaks. While retail traders might be panicking over short-term price drops, the biggest investors seem to be betting that the Tokyo meetings will provide a long-term boost.
A Quantum-Safe Future Keeps XRP’s Network Strong
Beyond the price charts, new research shows that XRP is built to last. A recent audit found that about 2.4 billion XRP is stored in quantum-safe accounts. These are wallets that have never made a transaction, meaning their secret keys have never been exposed to the public.
This makes the network one of the most secure in the world against future hacking threats. Only 0.03% of the total supply is considered at risk from theoretical quantum attacks, which is much lower than other major cryptocurrencies. The network already uses a tool called “key rotation.” This allows you to update your security settings without moving your money or changing your wallet address. Big investors feel safe putting millions of dollars into this network today because the technology is designed to last a long time.
At the time of writing, XRP’s price is sitting at $1.3374.
