XRP whales have amassed a record 45.8 billion tokens worth over $68 billion, the highest since 2018. Despite this strong accumulation, XRP's price remains range-bound between $1.3 and $1.6 due to weak inflows into U.S. Spot XRP ETFs and subdued retail interest. ETF demand peaked in late 2025 but has stagnated in 2026, mirroring flat whale demand. Market sentiment is cautious, with only a 2% chance priced for XRP to break above $2 soon, suggesting sideways price action may continue unless ETF and retail demand improve.
