Whales have accumulated 360 million XRP over the past week, while the Polymarket contract for XRP being above $0.90 on April 15 sits at 100% YES.
Market reaction
XRP is trading between $1.30 and $1.50, down 60% from a July 2025 peak. Whale holdings now total 11.33 billion XRP, with daily whale purchases exceeding 11 million tokens. This accumulation follows the XRP Tokyo 2026 conference, where Ripple executives presented. The April 15 market holds at 100% YES.
Why it matters
The $0.90 threshold is roughly 30–40% below where XRP currently trades, which explains the 100% odds. The more interesting signal is the whale behavior during a consolidation phase: large holders adding 360 million tokens in a single week, while the token sits well off its highs, suggests these buyers expect prices to recover rather than fall further toward $0.90. That said, the contract has no visible trading volume data, which means the 100% figure may reflect thin liquidity and speculative positioning rather than deep market conviction.
What to watch
A break above $1.65 could trigger a short squeeze. Key variables: whether whale accumulation continues at this pace, trading volumes on exchanges like Binance and Kraken, and Federal Reserve monetary policy signals that could affect risk appetite across crypto markets. The $0.90 floor looks safe at current prices, but a broader market selloff could make that threshold relevant again.
