Ripple’s XRP is witnessing rising whale activity despite the massive sell-off across the broader crypto market. Top cryptocurrencies Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have tumbled significantly amid the rising selling pressure.
The BTC, ETH, and XRP prices are down 8%, 9%, and 6%, respectively in the last 24 hours, with risks of more correction. However, Ripple’s global expansion of its services and presence raises optimism over the XRP price rally.
