Furthermore, Santiment spotlighted XRP social dominance metrics, indicating that discussions related to XRP soared, accounting for 7.4% of all discussions among the top 100 market cap assets.
The intelligence firm noted that this is the highest level of conversation related to XRP over the past three years. It added that this level of crowd recognition and fear of missing out (FOMO) will subside eventually. However, it may also pave the way for a second pumping wave.
Santiment also revealed that large whale transactions on the XRP network had reached their highest level this year. It also attributed the surge in XRP to over 600 investors carrying out transactions worth above $100k.
The intelligence firm highlighted the context of these trades, noting that whales and sharks increasing their holdings suggests that this may be the beginning of a substantial upward trend.
As The Crypto Basic reported today, the XRP rally is just starting, with XRP seeing about two million trades per minute globally. Meanwhile, XRP trades at $0.7853, with crypto traders buying and selling over $3.3 billion in the last 24 hours.
