XRP Faces Downward Pressure as Large Wallets Distribute Holdings

XRP's price support at $1.3 is at risk as whales offload tokens, with 50 million tokens entering exchanges.

XRP's price support at $1.3 is at risk as whales offload tokens, with 50 million tokens entering exchanges. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹124 ($1.30). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by U.Today, with live market data added, as of Sun, 25 Oct 2026 17:00:02 UTC.

Why it matters

The distribution of tokens by large holders could increase selling pressure, potentially impacting XRP's price stability and investor sentiment.

Key takeaways
  • 12 large XRP wallets are actively distributing holdings.
  • 50 million XRP tokens have moved to exchanges.
  • XRP's August support level at $1.3 is under threat.
  • Current XRP price is $1.3, up 2.55% in 24 hours.

Large XRP holders are actively distributing their tokens, with 12 wallets identified as the source of the distribution. This movement has resulted in 50 million XRP tokens being transferred to exchanges, according to U.Today.

The influx of tokens to exchanges could increase selling pressure, potentially impacting XRP's price. The current support level at $1.3, which has been in place since August, is at immediate risk.

While the news of the token distribution could suggest a bearish trend, the broader market context shows a different picture. The total crypto market cap is $2.76 trillion, and Bitcoin is up 1.11% in the last 24 hours, indicating a generally positive sentiment.

XRP is currently trading at $1.3, up 2.55% in the last 24 hours and 1.88% over the past week. The market cap of XRP stands at $82.23 billion, reflecting its position as one of the top cryptocurrencies.

The distribution of tokens by large holders is a significant development that could influence XRP's price trajectory. Investors should monitor the situation closely, particularly if the selling pressure intensifies.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹130.51 (about $1.30), up 2.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
