The XRP Market Witnesses Significant Whale Transactions
In the last 48 hours, the XRP market has seen a surge in large-scale transactions, grabbing the attention of the cryptocurrency community. Four major whale transactions were observed in the XRP market, with the biggest one involving the transfer of 424,354,912 XRP from one unknown wallet to another. Another transaction worth noting was the movement of 19,920,318 XRP to the Binance exchange. Ripple, the company behind XRP, also transferred 75,000,000 XRP from its Binance wallet to an unknown wallet, leading to speculation about an impending market dump.
Ripple’s Transaction Sparks Investor Speculation
Many investors believe that the unknown wallet to which Ripple transferred 75,000,000 XRP is also owned by Ripple itself. This has led to predictions of a market dump as the company may be planning to offload the tokens on an exchange. Additionally, Ripple locked about 800,000,000 XRP in escrow on September 1, which is a routine practice for the company. They release 1,000,000,000 XRP at the start of each month and lock up a significant portion of the new tokens later on.
Whale Movements Lead to Positive Effects on XRP
On-chain analytics firm Santiment has reported that the recent whale movements in the XRP market have resulted in positive outcomes. The transaction volume of XRP reached 4.8 billion, marking a seven-month high. The circulating supply of XRP is currently at 2.03 billion, the highest since May 31. Furthermore, XRP development activity has been on the rise. Despite these positive indicators, XRP is facing difficulties in the overall market downturn, with a 1.88% loss in the last 24 hours.
