XRP Price Jumps 4% Today As Ripple Whale Wallets Hit 1.1 Million

Ripple’s native cryptocurrency XRP is outperforming the rest of the altcoin space, gaining 4% in the last 24 hours.

Investors are closely watching the XRP price trajectory following the bounce from $1.32 levels over the past week.

On the other hand, inflows into spot XRP ETFs have been gathering pace. This showed that institutional demand is rising.

XRP Price Rallies As Whale Wallets Hit 1.1 Million

Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, XRP, is once again on investors’ radar amid strong whale activity. Santiment reported that XRP wallets holding between 1,000 and 100,000 tokens hit a record high. The number of such wallets has climbed to 1.1 million.

The data shows that wallets in this category increased by 77,500. This growth came even as the XRP price declined by about 52% since October 25. It shows that the whale entities have been clearly buying the dips.

Santiment noted that these mid-tier wallets have accumulated more than 500 million XRP since the fourth quarter of 2025.

Along with big wallet holders, the retail participation in XRP is rising again. XRP wallets holding between 1,000 and 100,000 tokens have increased their cumulative balance to a new all-time high.

As of October 1, 2025, wallets with 1,000 to 10,000 XRP held 2.46 billion tokens. At the same time, those with 10,000 to 100,000 held 7.58 billion, bringing the combined total to 10.04 billion XRP. This figure has now jumped to 10.56 billion XRP, marking a new record.

This shows that retail players have accumulated a total of 520 million XRP over the course of the past 6-7 months.

XRP ETF Inflows Rise Again

Over the past week, inflows into spot XRP ETFs have surged once again, showing renewed institutional interest. On Wednesday, April 15, the net inflows across all US XRP ETFs were $17.11 million, with net inflows since inception crossing $1.25 billion.

Yesterday, the Bitwise XRP ETF (XRP) saw the most inflows at $6.23 million. However, the 21Shares XRP ETF (TOXR) stood second at $5.43 million, as per data from SoSoValue. However, Franklin’s XRPZ stood third at $5.30 million in net inflows.

Recent inflows continue a recovery trend that began on April 10, marking four consecutive days of gains. This is the first four-day inflow streak since early March, when funds saw sustained outflows. Cumulative inflows have now risen to $1.25 billion, reflecting improving investor sentiment.

Rise In XRP Adoption

Solana has hinted at a possible integration of XRP after sharing a video labeled “XRP” on social platform X. With this move, the Solana blockchain seems to position itself as a capital market layer for a wide range of assets.

Co founder of Solana also responded to the post, suggesting that plans to introduce a wrapped version of XRP on the network may be under consideration.

Previously, Hex Trust partnered with LayerZero to launch Wrapped XRP (WXRP) across multiple networks, including Ethereum and Solana. However, adoption of the wrapped token on Solana has remained limited, with most of the supply currently residing on Ethereum.

Rakuten, a Japanese conglomerate, is integrating XRP into its Rakuten Pay app, enabling its 44 million users. Thus, XRP will be available as a payment method across more than 5 million merchant locations in Japan.

According to Tatsuya Kohrogi, Rakuten will also allow users to spot trade XRP directly within the app. Users will be able to purchase XRP using Rakuten loyalty points and store the asset in their Rakuten Wallet.
