XRP is one of the top gainers in the last 24 hours. As to why the crypto token is up, a popular crypto sleuth has some answers, as he recently revealed a significant move made by Ripple. This revelation also has the possibility of ending talks that XRP\u2019s price is being manipulated by Ripple, considering that the crypto firm has so far shown that it has XRP\u2019s best interest at heart. Ripple Allegedly Buys Back Around 700 Million XRP In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) platform, crypto sleuth Mr. Huber mentioned that Ripple bought back around 700 million XRP from the open market. According to him, Ripple usually does this to keep the XRP markets stable and liquid. This endeavor could explain why the token\u2019s price has suddenly picked up.\u00a0 Related Reading: Dogecoin Above $0.1? Crypto Analyst Lists Reasons Why DOGE Price Will Continue To Rally The XRP price has underperformed in recent times, with many speculating why this could be happening. Some simply stated that the price was manipulated as there was no other logical reason to explain the underperformance, especially considering that other altcoins were enjoying significant gains.\u00a0 However, Mr. Huber had another plausible explanation for this decline as he stated that it could be one of Ripple\u2019s ODL customers selling their XRP tokens on the open market. It had previously been reported that Ripple\u2019s XRP sales to these ODL customers do not impact prices on exchanges. However, it does when these customers, in turn, start to sell these XRP tokens to retail investors.\u00a0 Therefore, noticing the trend of the XRP sales from ODL customers, Ripple could have bought back these XRP tokens in order to stabilize the XRP price. It is worth mentioning that Mr. Huber seems to have reached his conclusion of a massive buyback due to the decline in XRP\u2019s circulating supply. He asserted that Ripple\u2019s holdings are not calculated in the circulating supply.\u00a0 XRP recovers above $0.68 | Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview.com XRP Price Underperformance Is Concerning Before his revelation about Ripple\u2019s massive buyback, Mr. Huber had raised concern about XRP\u2019s worrisome price action. He noted that the XRP price had \u201clost literally\u201d all the gains it made against the broader crypto market following Judge Analisa Torres\u2019 ruling. The Judge had ruled that the crypto token wasn\u2019t a security in itself.\u00a0 Related Reading: XRP Price To Go Parabolic?

However, the XRP price has been on a notable decline since posting those gains. It has even become concerning ever since the broader crypto market picked up as many continue to wonder could be the reason for XRP\u2019s rather relatively tepid movement.\u00a0 At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.69, up over 7% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.\u00a0 Featured image from Watcher Guru, chart from Tradingview.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":594,"featured_media":564750,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16894],"tags":[167,6664,26263,14690,3680,17209,4531,83637,13172,16289,10972,78763],"class_list":["post-564745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ripple","tag-analyst","tag-crypto","tag-crypto-analyst","tag-crypto-news","tag-ripple","tag-ripple-news","tag-xrp","tag-xrp-news","tag-xrp-price","tag-xrp-price-prediction","tag-xrpusd","tag-xrpusdt"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
