XRP Whale Selling Hits $480 Million In 48 Hours As Price Falls Below $2

2025/11/23 04:34

XRP has fallen below the key $2 psychological support level as bearish pressure intensifies across the broader market. The altcoin’s decline has accelerated over the past week, prompting significant selling from major holders. 

This shift in behavior from large investors has amplified downward momentum and weakened XRP’s short-term outlook.

XRP Whales Switch Their Stance

Whales have moved decisively from accumulation to heavy selling. Addresses holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP have dumped more than 250 million tokens in the past 48 hours alone, worth over $480 million.

This selling wave follows more than 20 consecutive days of accumulation by the same group of holders.

Such an abrupt shift signals a loss of conviction among large investors who had previously supported XRP’s rise. Their exit removes a crucial source of market strength and may prolong XRP’s decline. Without renewed confidence from whales, recovery momentum could weaken further and keep prices under pressure.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Forward Industries’ $1B SOL Buyback Program Fails to Lift Price as Technical Weakness Persists

Forward Industries’ $1B SOL Buyback Program Fails to Lift Price as Technical Weakness Persists

The post Forward Industries’ $1B SOL Buyback Program Fails to Lift Price as Technical Weakness Persists appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Alvin Lang Nov 22, 2025 02:42 Solana trades at $127.72 despite Forward Industries announcing 6.9M SOL holdings and $1B share repurchase program, as technical indicators signal continued downside pressure. Quick Take • SOL trading at $127.72 (down 4.2% in 24h) • Forward Industries’ massive SOL treasury announcement fails to provide lasting support • Price testing lower Bollinger Band at $121.89 amid bearish momentum • Following Bitcoin’s broader weakness as crypto markets remain under pressure Market Events Driving Solana Price Movement The most significant development this week was Forward Industries’ announcement that it now holds 6,910,568 SOL tokens and has authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program. The company, which has rebranded itself as a “leading Solana treasury company,” revealed that most of its substantial SOL holdings are currently staked. Despite this institutional endorsement, the SOL price has failed to sustain any meaningful rally. Adding to the institutional adoption narrative, SOL Strategies announced it will provide staking services for VanEck’s Solana ETF, utilizing an Orangefin validator node acquired in December 2024. This partnership represents another step toward mainstream institutional integration for Solana’s ecosystem. However, these fundamentally positive developments have been overshadowed by broader market weakness. The disconnect between positive news flow and price action suggests traders are focused on technical factors and risk-off sentiment across crypto markets. Solana Company’s third-quarter operating results, while highlighting its digital asset treasury strategy, provided neutral market impact. SOL Technical Analysis: Bearish Momentum Dominates Price Action Context SOL price action reveals concerning technical deterioration despite positive fundamental developments. Trading at $127.72, Solana sits well below all major moving averages, with the 20-day SMA at $147.88 acting as immediate resistance. The 50-day and 200-day SMAs at $177.87 and $179.78 respectively highlight the significant technical damage from recent selling pressure.…
