Amidst a volatile crypto landscape, XRP has emerged as a beacon of resilience, outperforming market leaders like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). This notable recovery is underpinned by significant accumulation from large holders, commonly termed as \u201cwhales.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the broader crypto market has been in turmoil, XRP has demonstrated a remarkable recovery. After a steep 14% drop on August 17, XRP has rallied, surging by over 20% from its low of $0.43090 on August 17 to trade at $0.519 (where it is at the of writing). In comparison, Bitcoin has remained relatively stagnant, and Ethereum, despite a modest rebound, hasn\u2019t paralleled XRP\u2019s recovery trajectory.<\/p>\n

Last week, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a significant drop in its value, marking its most severe weekly decrease since the FTX crash in November 2022. The flagship cryptocurrency\u2019s price went under the $26,000 mark. At its lowest, Bitcoin\u2019s value dropped to $25,392, a price not seen since mid-June. This drastic fall is attributed to a series of liquidations of leveraged trading positions.<\/p>\n

On crypto exchange Bitstamp, at the start of the week, Bitcoin was trading at as high as $29,6659, and by Friday, Bitcoin was trading at as low as $25,601, which means a fall of 13.68%, which is not as bad as the 25% drop that occurred between 1 November 2022 and 21 November 2022, but is still the biggest drop in the Bitcoin price since then.<\/p>\n

A significant catalyst behind XRP\u2019s resurgence is the aggressive accumulation by large holders. <\/p>\n
