WHALES REMOVE their XRP from exchanges! Something BIG is coming

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]I'm not going to lie, this is pretty hard to watch, especially when you can actually see what's going on. There is a massive divergence between retail and whales when it comes to XRP. And there is a significant breakout point that this usually historically leads to. So, I'm going to talk about all that stuff in this video.

[00:00:22]So, stay tuned. According to CryptoQuant, which is a data gathering organization that keeps an eye on things like movement of tokens on exchanges and stuff, apparently over 90% of crypto that is leaving centralized exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, etc. are whales and the amount that is accounted for by retail is lower than 8%. It also says that right now retail interest in XRP is down to an 18month low. And you know what? As someone that makes YouTube videos, I can actually corroborate this data. 18 months ago, that was when we were about to go into the final decision. Um, there's a lot of well like the climax and the grand finale of the XRP or should I say Ripple versus SEC case and there was massive interest.

[00:01:17]Yes, there was pentup anxiety and expectations. We had all these lawyers weighing in. We had the SEC's Gary Gendler and all that sort of stuff. And then that culminated in the Analysis Torres decision and then XRP not a security boom massive celebrations. Um sell the news event. I mean it did pump.

[00:01:39]I did a 5x and then slowly sort of you know you know the rest is history. So since all that sort of activity that happened 18 months ago roughly, now is the all-time low. Retail is exhausted.

[00:01:55]They're, you know, selling their bags to the whales. The whales are buying those bags and taking the the crypto off the exchange. And traditionally when this happens, this usually signifies a supply shock that is imminent. And this supply shock would usually lead at least on the exchanges to a kind of price pump which causes a price breakout. Where that's actually going like who knows. Okay.

[00:02:22]Another thing that the whales are doing by taking their crypto off the exchanges is that of course they believe that something's going to happen in the mid to long term rather than in the short term. So they're not ready to sell. So that sell the news event may not happen unless they suddenly move their stuff back in the last in in the next couple of days. For instance, in the last 24 hours alone, the whale activity has been over 100 million XRP in terms of how they move their stuff off of the exchanges. In the meantime, in that same time period, retail has been selling.

[00:03:00]Retail is exhausted. So what this signifies to me not financial advis you on research is unfortunately retail again by and large is going to miss out on the potential breakout that is about to happen. This happens pretty much in every crypto. The whales again have resources they have access to information. Also they have tenacity okay and endurance because usually these whales are already wealthy. They don't need this money to pay mortgage. They don't need it to pay, you know, school fees for their kids. They don't need it to eat, you know, they don't need it to cover their taxes. They have lawyers and accountants and stuff doing all that stuff. So, they have a long-term uh resilience to things that are happening, whether it be black swan events, global activities. Also, they have the dry powder to capitalize on events such as this one when the price is low due to macro situations all over the place. I'm going to talk about some epic potential black swan event that is looming uh in the horizon soon in maybe in the next video or so. Uh but yeah, whales are taking advantage of all that stuff and unfortunately as as it is usual for uh retail, people are capitulating. People are tired. They're bored. And only the hardest, most gangster, the most diamond of hands aren't perturbed by this stuff because they themselves have been around so long. They understand the game. They might not be financially whales but they are emotionally whales or they are intellectually whales or whatever. So not financial advice doing research.

[00:04:40]What I do of course in this aspect is to dollar cost average and hope for the best. Um yeah my dollar cost average by the way is not looking too bad. It's moved up slightly obviously because um I've been accumulating now for a while since I had it you know in the 50s of cents. So yeah, it's gone up a little bit, but again, I've got a conviction that the stuff is going to go upwards, so it's only going to get better in essence. Now, talking about deadlines and things that might happen and sell the news events, obviously today is the 12th of May. In the next couple of days, there's going to be a Senate vote deadline, I think it is, to vote on uh the Clarity Act. And if that happens, as a lot of people are predicting, it may well be passed in a couple of days. And if that happens, God knows where crypto is going to go. We know that that's going to have a big effect on companies that deal with stable coins. Ripple is one. And that is uh obviously going to also clarify what banks can do with things like XRP. So that's interesting.

[00:05:47]Now, if you think about how Wales have been aggressively moving the XRP off the exchanges in the last week or so, they've been really aggressive about it.

[00:05:56]And they've also been sweeping up all the lowhanging fruit. So, all of the uh retail bags that have been shaken. The whales have scooped that straight up and taken it off the exchanges to put god knows where in their own wallets or whatever, privately held. or perhaps they're, you know, they're doing yields and whatever or they're getting ready to earn yield in all sorts of ways. Who knows? These whales, they have more information than we do. We can only watch and see what what happens uh after the Clarity Act is passed. If it isn't passed, the Senate is apparently going into recess on the 21st of May. Okay. I think this called the memorial Americans, you you tell me if this is a thing. Memorial Day recess. And that is the recess that happens prior to them coming back and then embarking on the midterm election campaign. So that is going to occupy them once they get back from the recess. They're not going to have time to do, you know, cryptocurrency stuff until the campaigns are over or the elections are over.

[00:06:58]That's going to be next year. So let's let's uh let's hope the Senate get their act together and pass something. I think maybe the crypto companies might also be looking to make a few compromises as hinted by David Schwarz in one of his interviews there. You know, they can't both have their way 100%. So, one side has got to give a little bit, the other side's got to give a little bit. And that's how compromise sort of works and then, you know, get the thing passed and then we might work on amendments in the future, what have you. What is needed now is clarity for the companies that deal with stable coins and crypto to be able to do it without fear that the government is going to clamp down on them or there's going to be some sort of legislative or legal issue that they're going to fall into. Once they get that clarity, man, we're going to see all of the uh implementations of stable coin come out of the wazoo. We're going to see all the banks suddenly telling you that XRP and crypto is the best thing since sliced bread. stuff that they've they've spent basically years fighting, demonizing, and kneecapping and sabotaging all of a sudden would be the, you know, the best thing since the wheel, you know, invented. And, you know, of course, they're going to move the US financial system onto the new paradigm. All those financial rails that have been laid this whole time will suddenly become active. We know that the XRP ledger is a pretty much a fundamental part of all this stuff, you know, if not the main part. We know XRP is going to fuel a hell of a lot of this new financial paradigm. So, it's exciting times for me personally, probably for you guys if you're following as well. Of course, not financial advice, your own research. As of today, I'm dollar cost averaging, hoping for the best, expecting hoping for the best, expecting the worst, and hoping for the best. That's it. I'll see you right.
