Top Two ‘Whale Approved’ Altcoins To Stack For Massive December Rally
The U.S. Senate has passed a bill to end the government shutdown, with the House expected to approve it soon. This could reopen federal operations and potentially inject liquidity into global markets, benefiting risk assets like cryptocurrencies. XRP has gained attention due to its banking adoption, regulatory clarity prospects, and potential ETF launch, while whales are accumulating XRP, with predictions of a price rally. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) is witnessing significant whale accumulation ahead of its global adoption roadmap. Recent collaborations, including with Google Cloud, and rising on-chain activity have strengthened confidence in its ecosystem. Analysts highlight key price levels for both XRP and ADA amid growing investor interest.

Senate Passes Bill to End Government Shutdown
The U.S. Senate has passed a bill to end the government shutdown, and the House is expected to move quickly to approve it. Once the bill reaches the President’s desk, federal operations will reopen, a move that could inject new liquidity into global markets.
The U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA) balance has swelled to over $1 trillion due to the shutdown delay. Once government spending resumes, this excess liquidity could flow back into risk assets, including crypto.
Whales Take Notice of XRP Amid Banking and ETF Developments
A research outlet recently called XRP “the best-looking major” following news of the government reopening, citing its exposure to banking adoption and upcoming regulatory clarity.
Whale tracking data supports this claim. Over 22 million XRP (worth $56 million) was recently withdrawn from centralized exchanges—a classic sign of accumulation.
The community is closely watching three key catalysts:
- The banking charter approval for Ripple’s institutional operations.
- The Clarity Act, expected to bring regulatory certainty.
- A potential XRP ETF, which analysts suggest could arrive soon.
XRP Price Predictions and Accumulation Zone
Analyst Ali Martinez recently predicted that XRP could revisit $1.90–$2.00 before rallying toward $6.00 in the coming months.
While XRP failed to close above key daily resistance levels this week, analysts see the $2 range as a strong accumulation zone if Bitcoin retests lower levels.
Cardano Whales Accumulate Ahead of Major Updates
Cardano (ADA) has emerged as the second altcoin seeing strong whale activity. Data from Santiment shows that whales and sharks accumulated 348 million ADA (valued at $24.3 million) in just four days—nearly 1% of the circulating supply.
This buying spree aligns with the Cardano Foundation’s roadmap for global ADA adoption, which emphasizes:
- Stablecoin liquidity
- Real-world asset integration
- Enterprise partnerships
Partnerships and Major Milestones for Cardano
Cardano’s Midnight privacy sidechain recently announced a collaboration with Google Cloud, boosting confidence in its enterprise-grade ecosystem.
In Q3 2025, Cardano’s on-chain activity surged:
- NFT volume: up 561%
- ADA price: up 41% to $0.81
- DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL): up 28.7% to $423 million
Cardano Price Outlook
Analysts believe ADA must hold above $0.50 to maintain a bullish structure. A breakdown could test $0.45, while forming a higher low could set the stage for a strong December rebound.
