These actions match the panic that the FTX issue has induced. Furthermore, it is not unusual to see such whale moves when the volatility of the price action of an asset increases. Investors rush to transfer their funds to the proper channels in order to make smart trade decisions at this point.
However, among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap, XRP has appreciated by 10.86% during the past day, making it the asset with the biggest gain. As previously reported, the recent reports of a settlement between Ripple and the SEC may have contributed to the price increase of XRP. As of press time, the XRP has surged to $0.38 amid a recovering market as it moves to retake the 40-cent region.
In response to the growing FUD caused by the unfolding FTX crisis, XRP declined along with the rest of the markets on November 9, dropping to $0.32, a level last seen in mid-July. Despite the decline, XRP outperformed the majority of assets in its resistance to the negative impacts of the FTX scandal. It seems to be among the highest-gainers now that the markets are showing signs of recovery.
