A new project built on the XRP ecosystem, SurgeXRP, has already filled more than 10% of its soft cap just days into its token presale. The early momentum is drawing attention from large holders — so-called whales — who normally trade on platforms like Hyperliquid and Zcash. The team behind SurgeXRP says a leaderboard is coming soon.
Who’s buying in
Hyperliquid and Zcash whales are among the investors moving into the SurgeXRP presale. That shift signals that deep-pocketed crypto traders see potential in the XRP-linked project. While the exact number of participants isn't public, the 10% soft-cap fill suggests demand is strong out of the gate.
Why the soft cap matters
For token launches, the soft cap is the minimum amount needed for the project to move forward. Hitting 10% of that target in a few days is a fast start. It gives the team a solid base to build on — and it often triggers more buying, as latecomers worry about missing out.
What’s next: a leaderboard
SurgeXRP has announced plans to release a leaderboard. That move could add a competitive element to the presale, encouraging bigger contributions from those who want to top the rankings. No exact date for the leaderboard has been set, but the announcement is expected soon.
For now, the presale remains open. The team hasn't disclosed a hard cap or a closing date. Whether the whale interest continues — and whether the leaderboard accelerates the raise — are the open questions. Smaller investors are watching closely.
