XRP whales accumulated nearly 900 million XRP tokens throughout April, defying market uncertainty and ongoing regulatory noise surrounding the cryptocurrency sector. While much of the crypto community remained fixated on Bitcoin narratives and speculative rumors involving U.S. government Bitcoin reserves, large holders of XRP quietly made big moves.

XRP’s price briefly dipped to around $1.60 in early April but swiftly rebounded, crossing back over $2.20 by month’s end. This recovery coincided with heavy buying from whale addresses, showing confidence in XRP’s long-term prospects despite broader market volatility.
