The XRP cryptocurrency is gaining traction as another significant whale movement occurs. An unknown whale transferred a substantial amount of XRP to Bitstamp, a digital asset exchange. This transfer was worth $15.19 million at the time of writing. The same wallet has been noted transferring large amounts of XRP to other exchanges in recent days.
Despite the constant dumping of tokens to exchanges, the price of XRP has surged by 2.08% in the past twenty-four hours, reaching $0.6112 today. This price surge contradicts the expected decrease in demand due to the token being transferred to Bitstamp.
Interestingly, despite the continuous transfers to CEXs, XRP has experienced a significant upswing of 3.13% over the past week and a monthly increase of 12.20%.
Hot Take: XRP Price Surge Defies Dumping Trend
The recent movement of XRP by whales to exchanges would typically indicate a decrease in demand and a potential price fall. However, XRP has defied this trend by experiencing a price surge instead. This suggests that there may be other factors at play influencing the market sentiment towards XRP. Crypto enthusiasts are eagerly watching to see how this situation develops and whether it will have any long-term effects on the price and demand for XRP.
