XRP Whales Shift Over $200M in Tokens amid Ripple-Cardano Partnership Speculation

Despite short-term price fluctuations, major XRP whale activity and rumors of a Ripple-Cardano collaboration have led to XRP’s recent 65% rally, reflecting heightened market interest.

XRP has been at the center of attention this past week, surging by an impressive 65% over the past seven days. Recently, two massive whales moved 210.93 million XRP tokens XRP $2.13 24h volatility: 5.7% Market cap: $124.73 B Vol. 24h: $5.09 B , worth $233.76 million, further signaling increased interest among investors.

According to Whale Alert, the first transfer moved 110.93 million XRP (valued at $123.59 million) from Binance to an unknown wallet, while the second involved 100 million XRP (worth $110.17 million) between unidentified wallets. Such movements often hint at strategic market maneuvers, possibly ahead of major announcements or partnerships.

These major whale movements come amid the speculation of a potential collaboration between Ripple and Cardano. Last week, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had a conversation. On X, Hoskinson described Garlinghouse as “a great CEO” and hinted at a collaborative future. In response, Brad Garlinghouse emphasized the importance of unity in the crypto industry, calling for “clear rules of the road.”

In addition, Hoskinson recently held discussions with Ripple CTO David Schwartz. The two industry leaders reportedly delved into Cardano’s Midnight project, a privacy-focused blockchain initiative designed to enhance confidentiality in the decentralized ecosystem.

During an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session, Hoskinson shared his vision for a potential collaboration between the two companies. He stated that combining Cardano’s innovative blockchain technology with Ripple’s robust liquidity infrastructure and stablecoin solutions could pave the way for groundbreaking advancements.

XRP Bullish Momentum despite Short-Term Dip

XRP’s price, currently trading at $1.09, has seen a 2.5% dip in the last 24 hours. However, technical indicators suggest this pullback might be temporary, with bullish momentum likely to persist.

A key signal comes from the formation of a golden cross on the daily chart, where the 50-day moving average has crossed above the 200-day moving average — a setup historically associated with sustained upward trends.

Moreover, XRP’s market cap, which now stands at $62.04 billion, has more than doubled in the past month, underscoring strong investor confidence. Analysts suggest that breaking the $1.14 resistance could lead to further gains, potentially setting the stage for a new rally.

On Monday, prominent commentator Moon Lambo noted XRP’s 20x rally in the previous market cycle. He speculated that this cycle could deliver even greater returns as institutional capital continues to flow into the crypto space. The analyst suggested scaling out at prices between $5 and $8 while holding for a potential breakout above $10.

With whales actively repositioning and technical indicators aligning, XRP appears poised for further milestones, especially if rumors of a Ripple-Cardano partnership come to fruition.
