XRP Price Heats Up as Whales Boost Holdings, OI Rises

Large XRP holders have bought 150 million XRP in the last two days, while open interest, a measure of trading activity, has risen to $1.9 billion. Wallets holding 10 million to 100 million XRP have increased their positions. Current XRP price is around $2.45 to $2.60. If buying continues and the price breaks above $2.75 to $2.80, then analysts believe it could reach $3.40 and potentially $5.85 to over $8. However, if the price drops below $2.44, it might fall to $2.00 before potentially rising again. Traders on Polymarket predict a 78% chance of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) being approved before the end of 2025.
