XRP whales make a splash: 10K+ wallets skyrocket to 6-month high

Amid positive predictions for the price of the XRP Ledger (XRP) token in the next few months, the cryptocurrency market’s largest traders seem to be doing their part to help its recovery, evident in the massive surge in the number of crypto wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP.

Indeed, the number of wallets holding 10,000 XRP or more has skyrocketed in the past five weeks, reaching the number of 279,400 such addresses, which also marks a six-month high, according to the data shared by blockchain and crypto market intelligence platform Santiment in an X post on July 31.

Furthermore, the Santiment team has observed that the “correlation between these wallets and XRP’s market value has been undeniable throughout 2024,” suggesting that the rise in the number of shark and whale XRP addresses is a bullish signal for the crypto asset in line with analysts’ expectations.

Indeed, the sixth-largest asset in the crypto sector by market capitalization is already witnessing remarkable price gains, including advancing 7.58% in the last 24 hours, accumulating an advance of 7.17% across the previous seven days, and increasing 34.65% over the past month, leading to the price of $0.65.

It is also worth noting that crypto trading expert Dark Defender has recently suggested that XRP’s technical Analysis (TA) indicators point to a potential breakout that could culminate with the token hitting an exceptionally high price level at $18 in the following months.

All things considered, XRP whales are demonstrating confidence in the token, which could certainly continue to grow its price, perhaps even to the extremely optimistic $18 target, especially if the Ripple vs. SEC court case finalizes positively for the blockchain company.

However, things in the crypto market do not necessarily stay as predicted, even by the industry’s most experienced analysts, so doing one’s own due diligence, keeping up with any XRP news today and in the future, as well as understanding all the risks is critical when investing.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 The Cake Group CEO argue

Will Bitcoin Benefit From the Declining Dollar?

The U.S. dollar has been put under the limelight for an array of reasons. BRICS undoubtedly tops the list after its De-dollarization initiative. Amidst this, Stanley Druckenmiller, a billionaire investor, disclosed that he has shorted the U.S. dollar. He believed the Federal Reserve would soon need to lower interest rates due to a setback in the economy. In what he described as the most uncertain phase of his career, he claimed the move is his lone confident trade while speaking at an event. He added, “One area I’m comfortable with is I’m short the US dollar. Currency trends tend to run for two or three years. We have had a long [run] higher.” The investor believed that the dollar would continue to decline. Druckenmiller pointed out that Fed will take action to counteract the impacts of a downturn in the economy. However, if interest rates decrease the value of the dollar will tag along. While it is certainly bad for the dollar, Bitcoin [BTC] and other investments

Cardano, HEX Fail to Rally Post Whale Activity, But SHIB Does, Why?

Image
According to Santiment, the cryptocurrency analysis firm, Hex (HEX) and Cardano (ADA) are seeing a rise in whale activity. Santiment noted that transactions over $100k are historically associated with upcoming price shifts. However, both HEX and ADA have failed to rally following the whale activity spike. Alongside the former assets, Shiba Inu witnessed increased whale activity as well. SHIB, however, has rallied 19.3% in the seven-day chart. 🐳 Three of the more polarizing assets in #crypto, #Cardano, #ShibaInu, and #Hex, are seeing big spikes in large whale transactions. When $100k+ transactions spike on a network, it historically is associated with upcoming price shifts. Monitor closely. 👀 https://t.co/KG0mTWH11y pic.twitter.com/PHI9NOaxbn — Santiment (@santimentfeed) February 5, 2023 In the last 24 hours, Cardano ( ADA ) has fallen 2.4%, while HEX has fallen 5.7%.
