While the move signals a massive buy activity from a high-profile investor or an institutional holder, speculations suggest that the move might have had a direct impact on the price of the token, fueling its modest hourly resurgence.
Nonetheless, the data further revealed that the massive transfer was executed by an unknown wallet address in a single transaction, suggesting heightened interest in the future potential of the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
What's next for XRP?
Although XRP's previous price history has seen the token struggle in the month of August for several years, investors are optimistic that its performance this August may be different, with positive market signals on the horizon.
Data from CryptoRank shows that XRP has scored an average monthly return of just 1.07% in August over the past decade, marking the worst-performing month in the price history of the token.

However, with over $240 million in XRP already purchased on the first day of the month, it appears that investors are willing to go hard on the token this month. While this signals a rapid reinvestment in the asset, it indicates strong confidence in XRP’s future performance. This suggests that the market sentiment is shifting back towards optimism.
While the launch of the XRP ETF is currently in view, there are possibilities that the U.S. SEC might approve the product soon, spurring the price of XRP to break major heights during the month.
