How XRP whales are preparing for Ripple win against SEC

• Ripple whales holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP tokens have been accumulating the altcoin since March 7. 
• Daily active addresses on the XRP network have increased consistently over the past week, signaling rising activity in Ripple. 
• Experts are bullish on Ripple’s win with Messari CEO backing the payment giant in a recent tweet.

Ripple has garnered support from several experts and influencers on crypto Twitter in its legal battle with the US financial regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Messari CEO Ryan Selkis expressed his support for the payment giant in a recent tweet. 

The recent XRP accumulation by large wallet investors has supported the bullish thesis for the altcoin.

Typically, whale accumulation is considered a bullish sign for an asset. It supports the bullish thesis for Ripple with influencers and experts voicing their support for the payment giant’s win in the lawsuit. 

Ryan Selkis, CEO of Messari recently tweeted:

I've been critical of Ripple in the past (various reasons), but more aligned with them than ever before.

Ripple should win the overreaching XRP-SEC case, and the XRP Ledger should be afforded the opportunity to compete fairly on digital payments infra globally.

Another metric that supports XRP’s bullish potential is the rise in daily active addresses. After the spike observed on March 19, Daily Active Addresses on XRP network have climbed consistently, this points at higher utility and relevance of the chain among crypto market participants.
