XRP Price Prediction: Important Data Shows Whales Just Bought $1.3 Billion in XRP – XRP Buying Spree Starting?

As the market recovers, XRP is retesting the $2.20 level again, and on-chain data is showing a clear surge in whale accumulation along with record-breaking XRP velocity.

According to CryptoQuant, on December 2, the Velocity metric on the XRP Ledger suddenly spiked to 0.0324, its highest level this year.

That jump basically means the network got much busier: more real transactions, more payments, more trading, more movement overal,l instead of people just holding their XRP. A spike like that usually points to a highly active market, driven by either an influx of regular traders or a major move from whales.

Data Shows Whales Are Behind the Move: $1.36 Billion XRP Accumulated

Whale activity around XRP has surged, and it could set the stage for a move back toward those multi-week highs. Whales started loading up as XRP dipped toward the $2.00 psychological level earlier this week.

On-chain data shows wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP scooped up around 620 million XRP in just a few days. At today’s prices, that is more than $1.36 billion worth of accumulation, which is not the kind of buying you ignore.

This data lines up with the whale-to-exchange chart, which hit its lowest levels of the year in October, November, and now December. When those flows drop, it usually means whales are not sending coins to exchanges, which is a clear sign they are not looking to sell.

XRP Price Prediction: Can Whale Buying Finally Break the $2.20 Wall?

Ripple inflows keep climbing, with ETF clients buying another $50.27 million worth of XRP, pushing total ETF-held assets to 906.46 million dollars. XRP is currently trading around 2.13 dollars, down about 2% in the last 24 hours, and it has failed to break above 2.20 again as the broader market pulled back.

If XRP bulls can finally break above $2.20 or flip it into support, the price would be in a strong position to target 2.30 next. From there, XRP could even climb toward 2.50 and hit its highest level in three weeks.

If it fails again, though, investor confidence takes a hit, and the price will likely drop back toward the last key support around $2.00.

Bitcoin Hyper Could Be The Real Winner Of This Market Reset

While XRP whales are loading billions and ETF demand keeps rising, one project is quietly pulling even stronger momentum from the market’s recovery: Bitcoin Hyper. It is shaping up to be one of the few early-cycle plays attracting both retail and big wallets at the same time.

Bitcoin Hyper is building a fast Bitcoin Layer 2 using the Solana Virtual Machine, which means Solana-level speed and low fees but with Bitcoin security under the hood. That mix is exactly what traders are hunting for as liquidity rotates into real performance chains instead of slow legacy L2s.

The presale numbers prove it. More than $28.9 million has already been raised, even while most altcoins are struggling to find direction. Early whales have been loading up aggressively, treating BTHY like a high-conviction early entry rather than a gamble.

And with staking locked at a powerful 40% APY, holders are getting rewarded simply for staying put, which is the same formula that fueled the biggest breakout plays in past bull runs.
