Large XRP transfers continue to surface on-chain, prompting renewed debate over who is really driving recent selling activity. Crypto pundit and Digital Ascension Group CEO Jake Claver weighed in early on the issue, arguing that the dominant narrative around XRP supply misses what is actually happening behind the scenes. Market data has shown repeated high-volume XRP movements that do not align with Ripple’s escrow schedule or typical retail behavior. These transactions often appear without the sharp price reactions normally associated with open-market selling. That disconnect has made analysts reassess how XRP liquidity is managed and where these large blocks are headed. Large XRP sales aren't from escrow or retail, they're OTC trades through Falcon X, Kraken dark pools. Early investors and hedge funds moving massive positions anonymously. — Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) January 2, 2026 Institutional Channels Over Public Markets Claver stated, “Large XRP sales aren’t from escrow or retail, they’re OTC trades through Falcon X, Kraken dark pools.” According to him, these venues allow major holders to transact without exposing their positions to public order books. He added that the activity reflects “early investors and hedge funds moving massive positions anonymously.” Over-the-counter desks and dark pools exist to handle scale. FalconX operates as a prime brokerage for digital assets, servicing institutions that require depth and discretion. Kraken’s dark pool functions similarly, matching large buyers and sellers away from visible exchange liquidity. These mechanisms reduce slippage and limit short-term volatility. This context challenges the assumption that visible XRP selling pressure reflects fear or distribution into weakness. OTC transactions often signal structured reallocation rather than emotional exits . Large holders typically choose these routes to manage exposure efficiently. XRP’s global liquidity makes this type of activity feasible. The asset trades across many regions and pairs, allowing supply to change hands without immediate disruption. That helps explain why heavy on-chain movement has not consistently caused sustained price breakdowns.

They have challenged past price predictions that failed to meet earlier timelines, and raised allegations tied to previous business disputes, including claims of potential fraud. These issues are personal and contested. They do not alter XRP’s on-chain behavior or liquidity structure. XRP remains the focus of his comments. XRP remains the central focus. If OTC desks and dark pools handle a meaningful share of large transfers, public charts only capture part of the picture. The absence of visible selling does not mean inactivity. It indicates activity is happening elsewhere. XRP’s structure remains intact. Ownership may be rotating, but the market continues to absorb volume.
