XRP Holders Show Determination
The development suggests that many XRP supporters hold the crypto asset for the long term. Over the years, XRP has faced various challenges, including the ongoing lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC.
Despite the lawsuit, XRP holders have not lost faith in the crypto asset, as they continue to showcase their undying support for the coin. As reported earlier, large XRP holders with holdings of 1 million to 10 million XRP were seen accumulating huge amounts of the asset in the last days of 2022. According to Santiment, there were 1,617 addresses in this category that owned 7.23% of the XRP supply.
