It’s safe to say that XRP, alongside most of the cryptocurrency market, has been in a dire state for the past few weeks, which was exacerbated on October 10 with a painful crash that was almost mimicked a week later.
Ripple’s native token, though, has recovered some ground following the low charted yesterday, and now sits close to $2.40 after a 4% daily increase.
Data shared by Santiment shows that the long-term trends for the token remain positive as the number of mid- to large stakeholders “continues to grow.” More precisely, the wallets containing at least 10,000 tokens have hit a new all-time high of 317.5K, the analytics resource said. Additionally, the chart shows a consistent increase for nearly a year after a brief slip in late 2024.
XRP’s price has rebounded back a modest +5.3% since its bottom 12 hours ago. A good long-term sign is the amount of mid to large stakeholders continues to grow. There are now an all-time high ~317.5K wallets with at least 10K $XRP.

Later on, Cobb explained that a whale had jumped into the XRP meme landscape by splashing $1 million into blue-chip tokens.
In terms of price action and performance, CRYPTOWZRD said the asset closed indecisively against the greenback, although the XRP/BTC pair “needs to push more bullish from here to help XRP.” The analyst said the expectations for the weekend should remain “rational,” and hinted that more volatility is expected at the start of the new business week.
