The crypto market is currently experiencing turbulence, and XRP (XRP), the native cryptocurrency of the Ripple network, is no exception. ⚠️

On Monday, August 26th, the XRP price dropped for the second time in a row, breaking through the crucial $0.60 mark. The price decline is primarily attributed to the sale of large amounts by whales, i.e., major investors with substantial holdings. 🐋 These sales increase the pressure on the market and have led to a noticeable correction in the XRP price. 📉

🐋 Whale Sales Increase Pressure Data from the analysis company Santiment shows that investors holding over 100 million XRP sold around 140 million of these tokens within a week. 😱

Such massive sell-offs by large investors often trigger a chain reaction that drives the price of a cryptocurrency further down. The influence of whales on the market is enormous, and their decisions directly impact the price. 🌀 Recently, Ripple announced initial tests with its own stablecoin. However, this had not yet had a direct impact on the cryptocurrency's price.

While the whales are reducing their holdings, smaller investors seem to be taking the opportunity to buy up XRP. 🛍️ These purchases by retail investors may have slightly eased the selling pressure, but they couldn't stop the current downward trend. 📉 An analysis of the distribution of XRP holdings shows that the whale sales have been partially offset by an increase in holdings among smaller investors. 📊
