$XRP Rebounds 32% as ETF Money and Whale Activity Surge

$XRP has rebounded 32% from below $1 as ETF money pours in and whales reposition, setting it up for its strongest monthly gain since July 2025. The token traded near $1.40 as of press time, down about 5% over the past 24 hours after climbing as high as $1.70 during last week's broader crypto market surge.

The price performance contrasts with the fact that $XRP is on track for a roughly 32% gain in August, per CryptoRank's data, which would mark its best monthly performance since July 2025 when it advanced about 35%. The recovery has been accompanied by stronger demand for US spot exchange-traded funds and rising stablecoin activity on the $XRP Ledger.

Large holders have also moved billions of $XRP through Binance in recent weeks, creating competing signals over whether whales are accumulating or preparing to sell into the rebound. In fact, CryptoQuant reported that daily whale inflows to exchanges surged to roughly 460 million $XRP during the rally, their highest level since February.

However, more recent data shows the trend extended beyond a single session, with whale inflows into Binance reaching approximately 1.451 billion $XRP over 30 days, the highest four-week total in four months. The activity shows how rapidly large-holder behavior has changed as $XRP recovered from below $1.
