Well, well, well. Looks like the XRP whales have been on a shopping spree, and no, they weren’t at Costco. Between January 9 and January 11, 2026, these deep-pocketed crypto enthusiasts gobbled up 720 million XRP tokens. That’s right-720 million. Or, as I like to call it, “a lot.” 🛒💨
On January 11 alone, they snatched up 242.7 million coins. Because, you know, why buy a loaf of bread when you can buy the entire bakery? 🥖🐳 This sudden appetite for XRP comes after a three-month diet of selling, leaving everyone scratching their heads and muttering, “What do they know that we don’t?” 🤔
Meanwhile, XRP’s price has been as steady as a yoga instructor, trading between $2.03 and $2.28 in the past week. No drama, no fireworks-just a narrow range near key support levels. Analyst Steph Is Crypto chimed in with a tweet that screamed “BREAKING” in all caps, because nothing says urgency like a whale’s grocery list. 🛍️💥
BREAKING:
LONG-TERM $XRP HOLDERS JUST BOUGHT 720M XRP IN 3 DAYS.
WHAT DO THEY KNOW?

Earlier in January, CryptoPotato reported a surge in large XRP transfers, but that’s since cooled off. XRP did manage to climb from under $1.90 to $2.41 in a week, thanks to ETF inflows and a shrinking supply on exchanges. But now? Trading volume and volatility are taking a nap. 😴
At press time, XRP is chilling at $2.06 with $3 billion in daily volume. It’s down 13% in the last week, but hey, who’s counting? Without any juicy news, the market’s just staring at short-term ranges like it’s a particularly boring Netflix series. 📉📺
Chart enthusiasts (yes, those exist) are comparing XRP’s current pattern to its 2016 and 2017 glory days. Analyst ChartNerdTA pointed out that XRP is in a reaccumulation phase, just like before its last big breakout. The Stochastic RSI has reset, and the 13-month support base is holding strong. Or, as the analyst put it, “Invalidation consists of losing our 13-month support base.” Because nothing says confidence like a technical term no one understands. 📈🤓
XRP is also cozying up to its 21-month EMA, which apparently helped during the 2018 rally. It’s currently above $2.04, with resistance at $2.10. ETF inflows and institutional demand are keeping the broader trend afloat, but this week? Crickets. Liquidity is light, and everyone’s just waiting for something-anything-to happen. 🦗
So, are the whales preparing for a pump, or are they just stockpiling XRP for a rainy day? Only time will tell. Until then, grab your popcorn and enjoy the show. 🍿🐳
