What to know:
- XRP, in true fashion, has declined about 4 percent this month. Yet, the underlying currents are whispering of newfound interest from investors. What delightful contradictions!
- U.S.-listed spot XRP ETFs are showing more gumption than their Bitcoin counterparts, attracting a neat sum of $91.72 million. Such a delightful change of character within the month!
Lo and behold, XRP’s price tumbled about 4% this month, setting a somber tone for the new year. However, beneath this rather dreary state, the on-chain data sings a tale of hope. The number of “millionaire” wallets, abodes of at least 1 million XRP, has increased for the first time since September 2025 – a scene to warm even the coldest of investor hearts.
According to the esteemed data source Santiment, these millionaire communities expanded by 42 this month, bringing their total count to a remarkable 2,016 – thus concluding four months of melancholic declines. Oh, XRP, the fintech darling and pathway for cross-border exchanges, what secrets do you carry within your convoluted code!
“A net of +42 wallets with at least 1M XRP have returned to the ledger, an encouraging sign for the long-term,” proclaimed Santiment on X. What a time to be alive, where encouragement is distilled into the digital age.
The good tidings for XRP aficionados continue. U.S.-listed spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to this shimmering digital hope now proudly report a net inflow of $91.72 million this month. It seems November and December were prosperous for these funds, amassing golden sums of $666 million and $499 million respectively – a stark contrast to the dwindling affection for Bitcoin ETFs, which have endured redemptions worth $278 million this month.
Alas, XRP’s price remains in the clutches of a broader downtrend, stubbornly resisting the allure of its 50-day moving average. Oh, the agony of rallies that fade near the $2 handle, suggesting larger holders might be plotting some long-term intrigue rather than pursuing ephemeral glories.
Indeed, this divergence – rising balances among the wealthy investors and unwavering ETF interest juxtaposed with a weak price march – whispers tales of quiet accumulation rather than mere speculative froth. Historically, such setups in XRP have heralded periods of consolidation soon followed by sharper, less predictable movements.
For now, XRP dines at the table of longer-term strategies while shrouded by the shadows of short-term apprehensions. Without a broader revival in the cryptographic realms, particularly among Bitcoin and Ether, it might find itself unable to transform these enhancing fundamentals into enduring progress.
