According to @AggrNews citing Bloomberg, Ripple Labs is leading a $1 billion fundraise intended to build an XRP hoard (source: AggrNews). AggrNews provides no timing, structure, or counterparty details, leaving traders with only the reported size and purpose to assess (source: AggrNews). Given the scale referenced by AggrNews, traders can monitor on-exchange XRP order-book depth and slippage, funding rates and basis on XRP perpetuals, and options implied volatility for signs of execution pressure or OTC absorption (source: AggrNews). AggrNews also does not cite confirmation from Ripple or describe execution mechanics, making the venue of execution (OTC vs exchange) a key determinant for near-term XRP liquidity conditions (source: AggrNews).

According to @lookonchain, two new wallets withdrew 33,323 ETH ($126.4M) from FalconX and Kraken during the drawdown, with transfers traceable on Arkham Intelligence at addresses 0x8DF4EF8b5871Ae3a9E0438369b3867F69a733776 and 0xedf1519979C5b71fF1452ac37d1c6cdA8CbEfeb9 (source: @lookonchain; Arkham Intelligence). According to @lookonchain, an OTC whale accumulated 14,165 ETH ($55.5M) via FalconX, Coinbase, and Wintermute, corroborated by Arkham Intelligence flows tied to addresses 0x2aAF355c820676C104bd00Ee6c506FA05998dDa2 and 0xA860a7CCa0E29Fb25f3667A4ADBD43f54F548CD7 (source: @lookonchain; Arkham Intelligence). For traders, these venue outflows and OTC routes point to ongoing spot accumulation and reduced immediately available exchange supply, based on the Arkham-tracked movements shared by @lookonchain (source: @lookonchain; Arkham Intelligence).
