Chief technology officer at Ripple Labs and co-creator of XRP Ledger <a href="https://u.today/ripple-cto-ends-speculation-on-xrp-ledgers-bitcoin-semblance" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">David Schwartz</a> has stirred the crypto community with his recent tweet about the Ripple-affiliated XRP token. 
Schwartz posted a video showing a car trying its best to get passed a big truck. It was a repost from another account with the comment made by the Ripple CTO, "XRP fixes this." 
An inflow of comments from the XRP army followed, including major XRP-focused accounts, where users began to post laughing emojis, comparing the speed of an accelerating car to the potential XRP price. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 XRP fixes this. <a href="https://t.co/BjZkIb7aSO" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/BjZkIb7aSO</a>— David "JoelKatz" Schwartz (@JoelKatz) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoelKatz/status/1693731311620690059?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">August 21, 2023</a>

The XRP army has demonstrated that despite the current drop in the token's price, they remain optimistic and bullish on XRP's future. 
<h2 id="whales-secretly-accumulate-billions-of-xrp">Whales secretly accumulate billions of XRP</h2> 
Recently, Santiment on-chain data vendor reported that large XRP wallet owners continued to accumulate massive amounts of XRP. These 221 wallets, which previously held between 10 million and 1 billion XRP, now hold 16.13 billion XRP tokens in total. That amount of XRP is worth <a href="https://u.today/xrp-whales-accumulating-billions-of-tokens-as-xrp-price-surges-green" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a staggering $8.1 billion</a>. 
This accumulation was a likely driver that pushed the XRP price up 6.5% over the weekend. However, since then, the price has <a href="https://u.today/xrp-makes-unexpected-u-turn-down-we-go-again" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">again dropped</a> by 5.4%, leaving XRP to trade at $0.51762, unable to push through the resistance level.
