XRP Profit-Taking Divergence Signals More Pain Ahead for Ripple’s Price

2025/11/09 15:19

Ripple’s XRP experienced a modest revival last week, but its momentum was halted at $2.40, and the asset now struggles below $2.30.

What’s more worrying about its potential in the following weeks is the behavior of whales and long-term holders, as the latter cohort of investors has been showing a rather different approach than in previous cycles.

Glassnode has repeatedly indicated that XRP holders used to realize profits during rallies in the past, such as the run to the new all-time high in July this year or the surge to $3.40 in January.

However, they have changed their tune now, and they have been disposing of substantial portions of their token holdings as the asset’s price has been on an evident decline since late September.

This aligns with other reports informing that whales are selling en masse. The latest one came yesterday, which showed that 500,000 tokens had been offloaded in the span of just 48 hours.

The timing now is quite intriguing and perhaps unexpected because of the developments on the ETF front. According to the latest news on the matter, numerous companies have updated their S-1 filings with the US SEC to remove “delayment amendments.”

This change allows the ETF in question to launch directly after a 20-day period, unless the Commission objects. The first such product that has a chance is Canary Capital’s application, which could see the light of day as early as this week (November 13).

Consequently, the behavior of whales and long-term holders could be a classic “buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news” approach, in which they expect XRP’s price to dump after the ETFs finally launch.

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
