XRP whales add 42 'millionaire' wallets as price remains below $2
On‑chain data shows large XRP holders accumulating even as the token trades in a narrow range under $2.
XRP opened 2026 trading in a tight range below $2 and failed to establish a clear directional trend during January, with price action described as stuck under the $2 level by market coverage [1][5].
On‑chain analytics firm Santiment reported a net increase of 42 “millionaire” XRP addresses — defined as wallets holding at least 1 million XRP — since the start of 2026, indicating accumulation by high‑net‑worth holders despite muted price movement [1][4][6].
Separately, industry commentary and unverified reports have surfaced linking institutional interest and bullish technical scenarios to XRP, including a rumor about a potential BlackRock filing and chart‑based forecasts projecting large upside; these items have been reported as market chatter and forecasts rather than confirmed developments [2][3][5].
The available on‑chain data points to accumulation among large XRP holders while price action remains subdued below $2, and other market narratives range from speculative forecasts to unconfirmed institutional rumors [1][4][6][2].
