Whale activity is on the rise as cryptocurrency heats up. The leading crypto Bitcoin (BTC) also crossed the $ 23 thousand line, boosting morale in the market. Most altcoin projects are enjoying the green zone after that. In this environment, Binance whales are paying special attention to some altcoins.

XRP became the most traded token among the top 100 whales on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network. In this move, he left Cardano (ADA) behind.

In addition, XRP accounts for 2.42% of the total assets of the 100 largest BSC whales (excluding BNB). To that extent, they have an estimated $27.8 million worth of XRP in their cumulative balances.

These metrics indicate a surge in investor interest as XRP recently regained the high price point of $0.41 during the market-wide rally that dominated the scene. The asset is also among the most traded tokens on Binance, ranking seventh with a 24-hour trading volume of 59.28M.

Thus, it recorded a weekly gain of about ‘3%. At the time of this writing, it was trading at $7 with a market cap of over $3.5 billion.
