XRP whales buy $72M in tokens as Bitcoin and Ethereum whales sell amid market downturn

While Bitcoin and Ethereum whales have been selling off large amounts of their holdings during a recent market downturn, XRP whales have been accumulating nearly $72 million worth of XRP tokens. Bitcoin whales reduced their holdings by over 34,000 BTC, coinciding with Bitcoin's price drop from $79,000 to below $73,000. Ethereum whales also sold about 17,800 ETH. In contrast, XRP whale holdings increased from around 3.90 billion to 4.00 billion tokens. Analyst Ali Martinez suggests XRP could rebound by 13% if it holds support at $1.14, signaling potential recovery amid broader crypto sell-offs.

Following the recent whale activity in XRP highlighted in the news, XRP is trading at Rp19,082 on Pluang with a 1-day change of -4.61% as of Nov 11, 2026 08:31 WIB. Bitcoin and Ethereum also show declines with Bitcoin at Rp1,333,413,219 down 1.74% and Ethereum at Rp37,131,876 down 3.48%. XRP's market cap stands at Rp1,208.96 trillion, while Bitcoin and Ethereum hold Rp26,750.38 trillion and Rp4,533.35 trillion respectively, reflecting ongoing volatility in major cryptocurrencies on Pluang.
