In an intriguing turn of events witnessed recently, XRP, a cryptocurrency backed by Ripple Labs, birthed a tidal wave of speculations across the broader crypto market as it noted 73.81 million coins accumulated from a centralized exchange, nabbing significant attention across the global crypto realm. These transactions, showcasing accumulations worth $45.87 million, piqued the interest of crypto market traders and investors globally as XRP appears to be riding the optimistic wave to potentially reach $1. 
Meanwhile, the Ripple-backed token traded in the red as of writing, birthing speculations over the coin’s contrasting price action compared to the accumulations. Derivatives data, however, showcased a bullish sentiment among investors, aligning with the colossal accumulation witnessed, as mentioned above.

According to the data revealed by the blockchain tracker Whale Alert, the aforementioned amount was accumulated in four noteworthy whale transactions. Moreover, all these transactions showcased XRP accumulated from Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange. 
In alignment with this, the first XRP whale transaction recorded 18.40 million coins, worth $11.52 million, accumulated from Binance by an unknown wallet rfQ9EcLkU6…eN47Rk8Cvi. Whereas, the second transaction noted the accumulation of 18.52 million XRP, worth $11.39 million, from the same CEX by the address rarG6FaeYh…gFsPn2bZKk.
