XRP whale holdings willingness hits a new high, exchange inflow drops to the lowest since 2021

Recently, it has been observed that XRP whales are continuously reducing their holdings, with the amount flowing into exchanges dropping to 48 million to 56 million coins, the lowest since 2021. This indicates a decrease in selling pressure, with holders tending to accumulate, which boosts market confidence. XRP price remains above $2.06, and historical data shows that subdued whale selling often signals the arrival of a bull market. Currently, market conditions are showing positive signals.

Abstract generation in progress

【CryptoWorld】Recently, an interesting phenomenon has been observed: the holdings of large XRP holders flowing into exchanges are continuously shrinking. According to on-chain data, the 30-day moving average shows this number has dropped to the range of 48 million to 56 million coins — in other words, the lowest since 2021.

Why is this worth paying attention to? Simply put, the reduction in large holders selling means less selling pressure. The circulating supply of XRP in the market is becoming tighter, and holders are more inclined to hoard rather than sell, which directly boosts market confidence. In plain terms, whales are voting with their actions — they are optimistic about the future market.

The price has also responded. XRP is steadily holding above the key support level of $2.06, with no signs of collapse. Historically, whenever large holders’ selling volume enters a lull, it often signals the eve of a bull market. That was how the 2021 rally happened — the period of accumulation finally exploded into a significant price surge.

The current situation is like a buildup, with exchange available supply locked up and large capital holdings firm in their positions. These are all positive signals. The future direction depends on the overall market rhythm, but from an on-chain perspective, risks are gradually being released, and opportunities are quietly accumulating.

Wait a minute, all the whales are accumulating, so should I go all-in? No, I need to add another round... Anyway, history always plays out this way. If I can't hold the 2.06 level, that's the real problem. Recharging faith.

Whales hoarding coins without selling, this time really different, right? The 2021 wave exploded directly.

Is this the same old trick of whales hoarding coins? Is it really different this time? The $2.06 support level feels like it's about to break at any moment.

Whales are all accumulating, which means they know something... It was the same time last year, and the result? It exploded.

Whales are really holding back big moves; this time, the selling pressure feels different with less intensity. --- $2.06 is firmly holding, quite interesting. --- More and more people are holding without selling, indicating everyone is waiting for that one moment. --- History always repeats itself; is a 2021 remake coming? --- The inflow of XRP into exchanges is decreasing, and the tight supply can indeed push the price. --- Whales have voted, so let's follow and enjoy the gains. --- Less selling pressure is the real signal; it's more reliable than anything else. --- The lowest point has appeared, usually not a good sign… or so it seems, but this time might be different. --- This wave of XRP is truly accumulating, waiting for a breakout. --- Staying above $2.06 is fine; breaking below would be problematic.

Are huge whales really that reliable in accumulating coins? Last time I said the same thing, but I didn't see a rise either.

Whale accumulation is really the best signal; with selling pressure gone, the market naturally gets a breather. Holding firm at the 2.06 level, is a bull market still far away?

Here we go again with this theory: whale accumulation = the night before the bull market? I heard this back in 2021, and I'm still paying off my loans now.

Whales hoarding coins, retail investors getting stuck with the bags—this trick has been played for years, and you still believe it?
