An anonymous whale recently transferred 23,037,429 XRP tokens valued at $11,550,284 from Binance to an undisclosed wallet, indicating strategic accumulation, potentially influencing the market.

XRP, currently trading around $0.5069, has been on a downtrend with sellers controlling the market since the previous month. Despite no significant price changes post-Bitcoin halving, XRP has maintained a sideways trend between $0.6413 and $0.4336.

Recent data from Coinanlyze shows a 2.12% reduction in XRP's Open Interest (OI), totaling $3808.7 million, with Perpetual Contracts at $374.5 million. Notably, the recipient address of the transferred XRP holds over 32.112 million XRP, indicating plans for accumulation during the market discount.

Moreover, the crypto market has collectively lost billions in value in the last month. Ripple, the issuer of XRP, is challenging the SEC's proposed $2 billion penalty, claiming it to be unjustified, as part of its ongoing legal battle.

Ripple's ongoing legal dispute with the SEC regarding XRP sales is reaching a climax, with the regulator set to submit a reply brief on May 6, 2024, before the final judgment is decided.
