Late Wednesday, Oracle published its fiscal second quarter 2026 earnings (Q2 FY26), covering the period ended Nov. 30, 2025. Total revenue came in slightly below consensus, with legacy software revenue down and new license sales particularly weak.

This has once again highlighted the gap between the debt-fueled AI infrastructure spending spree, the promised revenue and the reality of delayed cash flows hitting the coffers.

The Financial Times reported that Oracle’s earnings were overshadowed by a $15 billion jump in planned data centre spending and a revenue miss, while its long-term debt increased to $99.6 billion, a jump of 25% from one-year ago. The cloud infrastructure revenue came in at $4.1 billion, below expectations, relying further on debt expansion.

The report quoted Morgan Stanley as forecasting a surge in Oracle's net debt to about $290 billion by 2028.

Shares on Oracle fell over 10% in after market hours, dragging down the AI stocks and offering bearish cues to the crypto market. The price swoon renewed social media focus on Oracle's five-year credit default, a type of an insurance contracts that reflects perceived default risk.

It has jumped to the highest since 2022. The surge reflects the material repricing of risk, according to the Special Situations newsletter.

"Historically, ORCL CDS traded around 20–40 bps, so 117 bps represents a material repricing of risk, but not a distressed profile," the newsletter service said on X.

"Oracle 5Y CDS graph looks exciting $ORCL until you run the math and realize that it is only pricing in 1.93% probability of default per year and a 9% 5 year cumulative probability of default," it added.

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
