Large XRP holders are continuing to buy and store more of the cryptocurrency, with the number of wallets holding at least 10 million XRP reaching its highest level in eight years.

Around mid-May, Santiment noted that XRP wallets holding 10 million or more tokens collectively possessed 45.83 billion XRP (approximately $68.5 billion). This is the largest amount these wallets have held since May 2018, representing over 68% of the total XRP supply.

XRP hits milestones

CME Group recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of its XRP futures contracts. Over the past year, trading activity has been significant, with 1.32 million contracts traded and a total notional volume of $62.87 billion – representing 28.6 billion XRP.

CME Group’s XRP and Micro XRP contracts let investors participate in the price movements of XRP, and they’ve become increasingly popular since their introduction last year.

As of today, XRP’s price had decreased by 0.4% over the past 24 hours, reaching $1.36. It was also down 4.34% for the week, coinciding with fluctuating activity in the overall cryptocurrency market on Thursday.

XRP’s price has dropped for five consecutive days, falling below its 50-day moving average of $1.394. However, it’s currently holding steady above $1.30, which is a positive sign. If the price can climb back above the 50-day moving average, it could potentially rise to around $1.61, though it might encounter some selling pressure at that level.

If XRP remains above $1.61, its price could start to rise. It might then reach $2, and potentially climb even further to $2.40.

If XRP’s price keeps falling, sellers could take over, potentially pushing the price below the $1.27 support level. If that happens, it might then fall to $1.11.
