Payments-focused cryptocurrency XRP’s price has risen over 8% in five weeks and during this time, there has been a notable divergence in accumulation trends of large holders or whales and small holders. According to on-chain data from Santiment, wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million XRP added 2.8% more coins to their balances over the past five weeks. This accumulation by whales and sharks coincided with the token rebounding to $1.16 from $1 at the end of June, suggesting stronger hands are leaning into the current price action.
