Cardano and XRP Whale Activity Hits Multi-Month High Despite Recent Pullback
Bitcoin's drop to $114,600 during the early Asian session on Monday triggered a liquidation spree, but Cardano and XRP whales continued to accumulate despite the crypto market downturn. As the market corrected, XRP and Cardano are down 3.7% and 6.2% in the past 24 hours, CoinGecko data shows. "The recent correction from the last two weeks of exuberance is healthy for the markets,' Max Shannon, senior associate at Bitwise Europe, told Decrypt. On-chain data provides strong evidence for this contrarian trend. A look at Santiment's on-chain whale activity shows strong demand for both XRP and Cardano from large holders. The 50-day average of transactions worth $100,000 or more hit a five-month high for both cryptocurrencies in August. Corroborating this bullish outlook is the increase in high-net-worth investors' Cardano and XRP holdings over the past month, according to the platform. XRP wallets holding 1 million to 10 million tokens added 300 million to their portfolio, bringing their total holdings to 6.72 billion as of August 18. In the same period, ADA cohorts also accumulated 30 million tokens, bringing their total holdings to 5.55 billion. HYPE, SUI Lead Altcoin Losses as Ethereum Dips Under $4,300 At current prices, these outsized XRP and Cardano additions are worth $900 million and $27.3 million, respectively. XRP's year-to-date return hovers around 15%, showcasing the token's dominance. This strength is a result of the successful conclusion of the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit and favorable regulatory developments. 'In recent months, XRP's performance has been shaped by two opposing forces: regulatory clarity and renewed supply concerns due to the release of 1 billion XRP tokens from escrow,' John Murillo, Chief Business Officer of B2BROKER, told Decrypt. The decline in the net taker volume, the difference between the taker buy and sell volumes, over the past four days, shows seller aggression is reducing. Still, XRP's price has produced a lower low. XRP Army Celebrates Being on 'Right Side of History' as SEC's Ripple Lawsuit Ends 'It signals that selling aggression is fading even as price trades lower - a classic bullish divergence,' Maarten Regterschot, Contributing CryptoQuant analyst, told Decrypt. A similar signal spotted in late July and early August catalyzed a double-digit rally for the token, explained Regterschot. Though Cardano's year-to-date performance is -24%, it has started to pick up steam over the past week after Grayscale's August 12 filing for a Cardano Trust ETF. Its relative performance against Bitcoin hit a four-month high last week, indicating a potential altcoin season scenario, where profits from Bitcoin and Ethereum move into altcoins such as Cardano and XRP, giving rise to explosive trends. Crypto Market Conditions 'Exceptionally Strong' as Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Advance Looking ahead, the market's trajectory will be determined by major macroeconomic events this week, which could cause altcoins to have muted performance, explained Shannon. Expectations of a rate cut had driven Bitcoin to an all-time high last week, but the odds of a 25-basis-point rate cut have since dropped from 90% to 85%, the FedWatch tool shows. According to experts who previously spoke to Decrypt, a successful peace talk that leads to the end of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech during the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday, confirming the September rate cut could provide the tailwind required for reigniting the bull run. 'A Fed rate cut is arguably priced in,' Shannon said, but cautioned that there is 'more downside risk' for the current market conditions if there are 'any surprises… it could be negative for crypto assets.'

Samsung's New Galaxy Buds 3 FE Cost $100 Less Than the Flagship Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
Samsung's $250 flagship Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are among the top noise-canceling earbuds. Now Samsung has launched the more affordable "fan edition"Galaxy Buds 3 FE that look nearly identical to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro but are missing those buds' LED lighting element, have a single-driver design instead of a dual-driver design and leave off a few other features. They're available on Sept. 4 in black or gray. Read more: Best wireless earbuds of 2025 Like the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE have a noise-isolating design with silicone ear tips, and they feature noise-canceling as well as a transparency mode. Samsung is touting their AI features, which include "accessing Gemini for conversational AI assistance and Galaxy AI Interpreter app to use Real-Time Interpreter or Live Translate to translate phone calls." The Galaxy Buds 3 FE's "blade" design is a departure from the early Galaxy Buds FE ($70), which have a stemless design with wing tips that help lock the buds in your ears. Enlarge Image The buds in gray. Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET Since I haven't tried the Galaxy Buds 3 FE yet I can't tell you how much their performance differs from the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro's, but I suspect there will be a slight drop off in sound quality due to the fact that the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have a planar driver alongside a dynamic driver that helps improve clarity and treble performance. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are regularly on sale (you can get the Latin American version for $125 on Amazon) and Samsung says you can trade-in any wired or wireless headset and receive up to $30 off the Galaxy Buds 3 FE. So they, too should be regularly discounted and perhaps dip to around $100 during the holiday buying season. I'll let you know how they compare to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and other earbuds in their price range as soon as I get my hands on a review sample. For now, here are the Galaxy Buds3 FE's key specs: Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE key specs
