In a latest development, an onchain analyst Kriptolik has noted <\/a>the increasing whale activity on XRP. He noted that Since its launch, XRP has never caught the attention of whales to this extent. With XRP whale activity at an all-time high, this indicates that XRP has now been embraced as a valuable asset by whales.<\/p>\n

Notably, XRP has recently hit yet another multi-year high of $2.79. This rally pushed its market cap beyond $130 billion, which led to XRP outperform popular coins like Solana (SOL), BNB, and Dogecoin (DOGE). Remarkably, this bullish momentum has led XRP to unseat Tether as the third-largest crypto by market cap, with XRP currently sitting at a market cap of $154 billion compared to Tether\u2019s $134 billion.<\/p>\n

Crypto analysts suggest that XRP\u2019s recent rally was largely driven by whale activity, triggering a fear of missing out among retail investors. In a latest X post, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that whale activity on Coinbase played a significant role.<\/p>\n

He noted that \u201cCoinbase whales are driving this XRP rally. Over the past 30 days, Coinbase\u2019s minute-level price premium has ranged from 3% to 13% during the surge. Meanwhile, Upbit, a Korean exchange with more XRP investors than Binance, has shown no significant premium so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

???? XRP has skyrocketed to an astounding $2.49 market value for the first time since January 8, 2018. The 6-year (nearly 7-year) high comes as wallets with 1M-10M XRP have accumulated 679.1M tokens (currently worth $1.66B) in just 3 weeks.

Notably, crypto whales aren\u2019t the only ones driving XRP\u2019s recent surge. Sentiment data also highlights significant involvement from retail investors. The total number of XRP wallets has reached an all-time high of 5.5 million, indicating that many previously inactive wallets are now holding balances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

RLUSD Around The Corner?<\/h2>\n

According to Fox Business<\/a>, Ripple is preparing for a potential launch as early as Dec. 4. If this happens, it will be crucial for Ripple as it would position RLUSD as a direct competitor to established stablecoins like USDC and USDT.<\/p>\n

RLUSD would enable Ripple to provide a stable alternative for users seeking the benefits of digital assets without the price volatility associated with XRP or other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Analysts Bullish on XRP<\/h2>\n

While XRP is currently sitting at $2.68, it still trades about 30% below its all-time high of $3.84, achieved in January 2018. Notable crypto analyst Dark Defender<\/a> has identified a Fibonacci-based target of $5.85, marking it as a key level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He noted that XRP has consistently met critical milestones, including its recent surge past $1.88, and highlights support levels at $1.88 and $2.13 as potential safety nets. His roadmap even charts a long-term target of $18.22, which is bold prediction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raoul aul, the CEO of Real Vision, also shared XRP\u2019s \u2018good-looking chart\u2019 and believes that it has a lot of potential to go up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
