Whale selling pressure drops to 2025 lows, XRP's AI-driven growth story grows stronger
XRP may be entering a new phase of its market cycle as one of its biggest sources of selling pressure continues to weaken. According to market analyst Crypto Patel, whale deposits flowing into Binance have dropped to the lowest level since January 2025, indicating that large households are no longer transferring large amounts of XRPs to exchanges for clearing. Historically, a decrease in whale deposits has been seen as a bullish signal because it reduces the supply available for immediate sale. As whale selling decreases, demand has an increased influence on price movements. Patel believes that this shift marks a transition from a distribution phase to a demand-driven market, identifying US$0.70 -1.00 as the long-term accumulation range for XRP, and predicts that if adoption and buying momentum continue to increase, the long-term goal may reach US$10.
As of writing, CoinCodex data shows the XRP price is US$1.14, putting the token slightly above this key accumulation range. Maintaining current support and attracting new demand will help strengthen the view that XRP is laying the foundation for its next major rally.
On-chain data further strengthens the bullish outlook. XRP whale holdings increased 2.8%, while asset prices rose to two-week highs, even as retail investors reduced their positions. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as this divergence suggests that large investors are still confident in XRP's long-term prospects and are quietly accumulating, tightening available supply, which could amplify future price increases if demand continues to rise.
Reduced whale selling and explosive growth in XRP Ledger AI combine to form a bullish pattern for XRP
In addition to market dynamics, XRP Ledger adoption is accelerating with the emerging AI-driven economy. Autonomous infrastructure provider t54 has processed more than 1.4 million autonomous AI transactions through its x402 facilitator on XRPL, highlighting the network's growing role in machine-to-machine payments. David Schwartz, director of engineering at RippleX, believes this is just the beginning. He predicts that as AI agents increasingly pay for APIs, computing power, digital services and other autonomous transactions, XRPL transaction volume will grow from about 1 million currently to 10 million to 100 million in the next few years.
If whale selling pressure continues to decline while institutional accumulation and XRPL adoption accelerate, the next major rise in XRP may be driven by more than just market sentiment. Tightening supply, expanding practical application scenarios and rising demand from institutional investors and the fast-growing AI economy may provide the basis for a continued long-term upward trend.
