- XRP Whale Accumulation Contrasts With Bitcoin and Ethereum Selling — this brief
Blockonomi reported that Santiment’s whale data showed large 
XRP wallets accumulating 65.32 million XRP, worth nearly $72 million, during a four-day period. The buying came as 
Bitcoin and 
Ethereum whales were reducing their positions rather than adding exposure.
According to Blockonomi, Bitcoin whales sold more than 34,000 BTC, representing about $2.6 billion in holdings. The report also cited Ali Charts data showing that Ethereum whale wallets shed roughly 17,800 ETH, valued at $40 million, over the preceding week. Blockonomi noted that Bitcoin traded below $73,000 during the week covered by the report.
The available coverage comes from one outlet, so these transaction estimates have not been independently corroborated in the supplied material. The figures rely on separate datasets from Santiment for XRP and Bitcoin whale activity and Ali Charts for Ethereum wallets, with no conflicting source amounts provided for comparison.
Live market data shows broad weakness despite the reported XRP accumulation. Bitcoin trades at $73,933, down 1.10% over 24 hours and 5.00% over seven days, while Ethereum is at $2,064.63 after declines of 2.28% and 9.90%, respectively. XRP is priced at $1.056, down 3.43% over 24 hours and 16.92% over seven days. The total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.52 trillion, and the Fear and Greed Index is at 29, indicating fear. Further whale accumulation or distribution and whether the three assets’ price declines stabilize are the relevant signals to monitor.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹7.32M (about $73,668.00), down 1.3% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
