XRP (XRP) whale accumulation has surged to a 10-month high — with large holders now buying more than 11 million tokens daily — as Ripple executives prepare to speak at the XRP Tokyo 2026 conference hosted by XRPL Japan on Apr. 7.
Whale Accumulation Hits 10-Month Peak
On-chain data shows the Whale Flow 30DMA indicator has climbed to levels not seen in 10 months, reflecting sustained buying activity during recent market turbulence.
Whales are now accumulating more than 11 million XRP per day.
The indicator turned positive after more than three months of dormancy. Exchange outflows have also accelerated, reducing sell-side pressure across major platforms.
This pattern of whale activity resembles moves seen before previous rallies. However, institutions and some large holders maintain short positions at $1.35, making that a key level to clear for potential advances toward $1.40 and $1.60.
XRP traded at $1.34 at the time of writing, with trading volume up 72%. Spot XRP ETFs have attracted over $41M in net inflows in 2026, even as the token remains roughly 40% below its price from a year ago.
