XRP Market Resilience in the $500 Million Whale Movement: An In-depth Understanding of Price Stability and Investor Behavior

XRP market showed resilience in the third quarter of 2025, whales trading volume exceeded $500 million, but prices remained stable between $2.75 and $3.00. Whale activity included 340 million XRP accumulated in self-custodial wallets and 16.6 million XRP sold on exchanges, while institutional inflows surged after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) settlement, including $1.2 billion inflows into the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF. The clarity of regulation and the approval of ETFs have sparked optimism, although the volatility risk of whale sell-offs remains historically. Analysts predict that XRP may rebound to $8-9 if it breaks through resistance, but caution still needs to be maintained amid macroeconomic uncertainty.
