XRP (XRP) traded at $1.50 on Tuesday, a 3% rise in the past 24 hours as its relief rally stalled at $1.60. Still, growing network usage and increasing holder accumulation could provide a spark that may see the price finally break $1.50-$1.60 resistance.

Key takeaways:

XRP Ledger non-empty wallets hit new highs

Santiment reported that the number of daily active addresses on XRP Ledger (XRPL) rose to a five-week high of 46,767, as the increase in the network activity coincided with a price move that saw the price climb to a four-week high of $1.60. 

The number of non-empty addresses on XRPL has reached 7.7 million for the first time.

“XRP Ledger now has more than 7.7M holders (non-empty wallets) for the first time in its 13+ year history,” Santiment said in an X post on Tuesday.

The onchain data provider said this shows that the network’s “usage continues to grow,” even during periods of market downturns, suggesting investors were capitalizing on dips to buy XRP at a discount.

This aligns with aggressive accumulation by long-term investors who have increased their holdings since the US and Israel-Iran war began. 

A sharp spike in the XRP holder net position change can be seen on March 1, exceeding 351 million XRP, marking its strongest single-day accumulation since Feb. 1.

XRP holder net position change tracks the 30-day supply shift among long-term investors, with positive readings indicating net accumulation.

Meanwhile, XRP whales, entities holding large amounts of tokens, have bought more since the beginning of March.

This may continue to boost XRP’s price in the coming weeks, particularly when coupled with declining balances on exchanges, which have dropped to levels last seen in May 2021.

XRP price needs to flip $1.60 into support

Data from TradingView shows XRP attempting to breach the $1.50-$1.60 resistance that has capped the price for over six weeks.

XRP price “needs to move above the $1.51 resistance,” analyst CryptoWZRD_ said in a recent X post, adding:

The last time the XRP/USD pair reclaimed this level was in December 2024. It rallied 90% in less than a week. In April 2025, it served as a launchpad for a 64% XRP price rally, as shown in the chart below.

Analyst CW8900 said the area between $1.50-$1.52 was a big “sell wall” for XRP, adding:

This level aligns with the measured target of a rounded bottom chart pattern and the 200-day simple moving average (SMA).

Before reaching this level, bulls need to push the price above the pattern’s trend line at $1.60, validating the breakout.

As Cointelegraph reported, a decisive break above the upper trend line of a falling wedge at $1.60 would shift the bulls’ focus to the measured target at $2.55 next, potentially ending the downtrend.

The post Let insiders trade – Blockworks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from The Breakdown newsletter.

Two weeks ago, the CFTC gave Polymarket the green light to allow those very same US residents to place bets on whatever they like. This is quite the turn of events — and it’s not just about elections or politics. With its US government seal of approval in hand, Polymarket is reportedly raising capital at a valuation of $9 billion — a reflection of the growing belief that prediction markets will be used for much more than betting on elections once every four years. Instead, proponents say prediction markets can provide a real service to the world by providing it with better information about nearly everything. I think they might, too — but only if insiders are free to participate. Yesterday, for example, Polymarket announced new betting markets on company earnings reports, with a promise that it would improve the information that investors have to work with.  Instead of waiting three months to find out how a company is faring, investors could simply watch the odds on Polymarket.  If the probability of an earnings beat is rising, for example, investors would know at a glance that things are going well. But that will only happen if enough of the people betting actually know how things are going. Relying on the wisdom of crowds to magically discern how a business is doing won’t add much incremental knowledge to the world; everyone’s guesses are unlikely to average out to the truth. If…
