# A crypto whale has made a $224,000 bet that XRP's price stays perfectly flat through June

-   A large trader booked a "short strangle" strategy on Deribit, expecting XRP to stay close to $1.40 till the end of June.
-   The trader collected about $224,500 in premiums and will keep the full amount if XRP remains close to $1.40.
-   The low-volatility wager comes as macroeconomic pressures and a key U.S. crypto regulatory bill, the Clarity Act, raise the prospect of bigger price swings.
