XRP Early Buyers Accelerate Profit-Taking as Regulatory Wins Bolster XRP Ecosystem
XRP XRP has staged one of the strongest rallies among crypto majors this cycle, but early retail holders are heading for the exit under the surface.
Now trading above $2 — more than thrice its pre-rally base from October 2024 — XRP has become one of the best-performing large-cap tokens over the past 8 months. Investors who bought below 60 cents are sitting on gains upward of 300%, prompting a sharp pickup in profit-taking.
According to on-chain data from Glassnode, the 7-day simple moving average (SMA) of realized profits from XRP wallets hit $68.8 million earlier this month, the highest in over a year. That's a clear sign of distribution pressure, with early accumulators cashing out into strength as the token tests key resistance levels just below its 2021 peak.
That profit-taking pressure may help explain XRP's failure to break above $2.20 in recent sessions, despite multiple bullish headlines and technical tailwinds.While the broader setup remains positive, supported by regulatory clarity in the U.S. and Ripple's growing push into tokenized asset infrastructure, the near-term price action reflects a supply overhang from long-term holders.
A recent CryptoQuant analysis showed that the 1-year cumulative buy/sell quote volume difference for altcoins (excluding BTC and ETH) — a proxy for net investor flows — currently stands at negative $36 billion. That's a sharp reversal from December 2024, when the metric briefly flipped positive, marking a local top for altcoins.
Since then, it's been a one-way bleed, with 'altcoin investors MIA,' CryptoQuant independent analyst Burak Kesmeci said in a Thursday post.
Despite pockets of strength in XRP, SOL, and a few narrative tokens tied to real-world assets (RWAs), the broader altcoin ecosystem remains stuck in a bear market, he noted.
Unless risk appetite returns or capital flows back into Layer 1s, DeFi, and gaming, hopes of an 'altseason' may continue to fade into the summer.Sign in to access your portfolio

BTC, ETH, XRP: Crypto Thefts Hit Record $2.1 Billion in Year's First Half
Cryptocurrency investors have lost $2.1 billion to hacks, thefts and scams in this year's first half, the worst six-month period on record for the security of digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP (XRP). Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter A new report from TRM Labs found that there have been 75 major incidents related to cryptocurrencies in the first six months of 2025. That topped the previous first half record set in 2022 by about 10% and nearly matched the amount of crypto assets stolen in all of 2024. TRM Labs blames the rise in crypto thefts on North Korea intensifying its cyber attacks in the crypto space. Researchers say North Korean-linked groups are responsible for $1.6 billion, or 70% of all the stolen funds from digital assets this year. State Actors The biggest hack that occurred in this year's first half was the $1.5 billion Bybit hack that took place in February. The Bybit attack is widely viewed as the largest crypto theft in history and is believed to have been perpetrated by North Korea. TRM Labs says that crypto hacks and cyber attacks by nation states are evolving and pose the biggest threat to investments related to digital assets. Additionally, more than 80% of the crypto funds stolen in this year's first half stemmed from infrastructure-level breaches, including private key thefts and front-end hijacks. Bitcoin, the largest crypto by market capitalization, has risen 15% this year. Is BTC a Buy?
