What a whale is
A whale is a wallet holding a huge amount of XRP. It can belong to a person, a fund, an exchange or Ripple. Size says nothing about the owner, so the first step is always finding out whose wallet it is.
Step 1: watch movements live
The tracker shows each large movement as soon as the network confirms it, with the amount, the wallets and the dollar value. You do not need to reload the page.
Step 2: find out who it is
Tap a wallet to open its profile: balance, history and name, if known. Many wallets have no name. The rich list shows the largest ones, and exchanges shows those with a known owner.
Step 3: check what it did before
One movement says little. The XRP Time Machine shows what that wallet held on any date since 2013, and who is accumulating XRP shows who added or reduced over 7 and 30 days.
Step 4: set an alert
Send /seguir and the address to the Telegram bot, and it tells you when that wallet moves. You can also save it in my wallets.
Step 5: avoid the common mistakes
- Internal transfers: an exchange moving XRP between its own wallets did not buy or sell anything.
- Exchange wallets: they hold XRP for thousands of customers, not one person.
- Escrow: Ripple moves a lot of XRP each month on a known schedule.
- Causes: the ledger shows what happened, not why. A large movement does not predict the price.
