  • Crypto whales accumulate over 4 billion XRP since the October crash.

  • When will Ripple’s XRP price surge to new ATHs?

  • Expectations for XRP price to rise dramatically remain strong.

The crypto community continues its bull vs bear tug-of-war as the price of BTC continues its sideways movement. Over the last few days, the price of BTC reignited hope for bullish weeks ahead when it reclaimed prices above $70,000, only to crush those hopes with another fall to the $60,000 range. Meanwhile, supporting bullish views is the fact that crypto whales accumulate over 4 billion XRP since the October crash.

Crypto Whales Accumulate Over 4 Billion XRP Since the October Crash

Since the October 10, 2025, crash, any bullish sentiments for high ATH prices were all crushed. With over 20 billion wiped out in leverage, long, and even short trades, the crypto market and its community were left devastated, leading to an even greater heartbreaking collapse of promising crypto projects like Kadena. Following that most analysts were certain that the bear market had begun.

If this were true, then this was a highly disappointing bull run for altcoin holders. While the price of the pioneer crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), went on to hit multiple new ATH price targets, going even as far as 6-digit prices, altcoin prices barely moved, which was highly disappointing as many were certain that altcoins would outperform Bitcoin during altseason’s peak phase.

Unfortunately, altseason or its peak phase never arrived this cycle, leading many experts to lean toward the 5-year supercycle theory. According to this theory, 2026 will bring in a final surprise pump for BTC, which will be followed by the long-awaited altseason that will go on to push the price of all promising altcoins to hit new ATH prices and enter a strong price discovery phase.

When Will Ripple’s XRP Surge

One of the most bullish altcoins this bull cycle is Ripple’s XRP. This promising altcoins is expected to make a highly anticipated bull pump this cycle. This is because XRP missed the pump in the last 2 bull cycles due to its conflict with the SEC. Having won that battle and being recognized with total regulatory clarity, many expect the inevitable price pump for XRP to be an extremely volatile pump that could propel XRP to 2 and 3-digit prices soon.
