XRP Hits Monthly High While Traders Look the Other Way

Ripple’s token surges past resistance—yet market players act like it’s just another Tuesday. Classic crypto: assets moon when nobody’s watching.

Price action defies SEC drama, but institutional interest remains tepid. Retail FOMO? Nowhere in sight.

Pro tip: Banks still won’t touch this with a 10-foot pole. Some things never change.

Fueling the buzz, a massive 29.5 million XRP (worth about $68.7 million) was transferred to Coinbase, one of the largest crypto exchanges.

This massive trade, settled on the Ripple blockchain, occurred with a minuscule fee of only 0.00001 XRP. Large whale moves like this tend to indicate big action to come in the market — either big sales, or positioning before more price appreciation.

Several important factors are driving XRP’s rally. There is mounting hope that an XRP futures ETF will get approved shortly, and data from Polymarket puts the chances at 78% by the end of the year.

If that happens, it could flood the market with billions in institutional money, just like it did for Bitcoin. On top of that, major investors (whales) are buying up XRP, and the technical setup is flashing bullish signals.

Adding to the hype, early Bitcoin advocate Davinci Jeremie recently made a bold prediction. Even though he admits he “hates XRP,” Jeremie said in a video that XRP could skyrocket to $20 or more based on the charts. While he calls the forecast “crazy,” he believes technical patterns point to a massive breakout.

Earlier this year, XRP was already showing strength after Ripple’s court victory against the SEC cleared a major legal hurdle.

Since November 2024, XRP has surged nearly 5x, and is now up 280% compared to last year. With ETF hopes, whale moves, and bullish technicals aligning, XRP’s future could be even more explosive — but as always, crypto markets can be unpredictable.
