Market structure often shifts long before price reacts. In XRP’s spot market, that change has been taking shape quietly. Order sizes reveal who controls liquidity at key moments. Recent data shows that control has moved decisively toward large players. Crypto investor and data analyst CW (@CW8900) highlighted this trend using a CryptoQuant chart tracking average spot order sizes on the XRP Ledger. He showed a clear pattern of large holders dominating trading activity. Retail participation remains minor, and the setup mirrors conditions seen before XRP’s last major upside move. Recently, spot trading in $XRP has been dominated by big whales. In addition, retail investors have never dominated trading. Whales are strongly leading $XRP , and the rally led by whale is about to begin. Whales led trading at the bottom, and the current trend is similar to… pic.twitter.com/wgGU2LwPK5 — CW (@CW8900) November 29, 2025 What the Order Size Data Shows CW stated that “spot trading in XRP has been dominated by big whales.” The chart supports that claim. Large orders persist through periods of consolidation and pullbacks. Retail never takes control, even during volatility. The chart separates trades by size. Big whale orders stand out across recent months. These trades consistently form the largest share of spot activity. Smaller whale orders appear less frequently. Retail-sized trades barely register as a leading force at any point. This matters because average order size reflects intent. There has been speculation that whales and institutions could price retail investors out of the XRP market. These large participants do not trade randomly. They act with structure and clear objectives. XRP Whales Led at the Bottom CW also noted that “whales led trading at the bottom.” The timing aligns with a visible shift in order size behavior. Whale activity increased when XRP traded near the lows before the late 2024 rally. At that time, large orders absorbed supply during weakness. The current setup shows similar sequencing. While XRP has not fallen to 2024 lows, whales have also dominated the recent price struggles .

The data confirms this point across the entire period shown. Retail-sized orders fail to control market flow, even during sharp rallies. That absence reduces noise. Whale-led markets often move slowly at first. They also tend to build stronger base structures, as liquidity stays concentrated among fewer actors. This dynamic reduces reactionary trading . It also limits emotional swings common in retail-heavy markets. What’s Next for XRP? XRP is now mirroring conditions from late 2024. Both periods feature heavy whale participation near lows. Both lack retail dominance. In 2024, XRP’s price followed after accumulation became clear. The chart suggests a comparable phase. Large orders remain present even as XRP’s price fluctuates, and the asset might soon experience a similar price explosion.
