A closely followed analyst says that deep-pocketed crypto investors have scooped up over $2.5 billion worth of XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE) in just a couple of days.

In a new thread, crypto trader Ali Martinez tells his 111,500 followers on the social media platform X that whales have been making moves to accumulate payments-focused altcoin XRP.

At time of writing, XRP is trading for $2.54, indicating that the whales accumulated $2.54 billion worth of the third-largest altcoin by market cap.

Moving on to the popular meme asset DOGE, Martinez says that crypto whales gobbled up massive amounts of the dog-themed altcoin over a two-day period.
