A large XRP transaction moved quietly through the ledger with no announcement and no promotional push. The transfer did not coincide with a major price swing or a spike in routine, but a closer look at the transaction shows a different story.
Crypto commentator X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) shared a video detailing the movement, pointing to what he described as a $110 million worth of XRP transfer tied to BTC Markets, a leading Australian exchange. The video shows the execution of a 55 million XRP payment on the XRP Ledger.
The destination address shows clear signs of institutional custody. The wallet uses multi-signature security. The master key is disabled, and the destination tag is also required and locked. The account connects to BitGo, a well-known digital asset custodian used by regulated financial entities. This setup does not match retail behavior or active trading accounts.
BOOM!🚨🚨🚨 $110M $XRP just moved from Australia’s top exchange and landed in cold custody!
No headlines, No marketing
Just deep, institutional flow straight into a BitGo wallet, multi-sig, tag-locked, key disabled
That’s not retail, that’s legacy finance getting on-chain

What the Transaction Data Shows
The source account belongs to BTC Markets. The exchange operates as a known Ripple On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) partner. The transaction moved exactly 55,000,000 XRP from the exchange to a BitGo-initialized wallet. The destination wallet now holds just over 55 million XRP.
X Finance Bull states that the movement represents institutional flow rather than a market sale. He describes it as liquidity leaving an exchange environment and entering cold custody. He adds that this type of movement does not aim at speculation. It prepares assets for operational use across payment corridors.
Why Does Custody Matter for XRP?
Exchange-held XRP supports trading liquidity. Custodied XRP supports settlement. Moving assets from an exchange wallet to a BitGo-controlled wallet removes them from immediate sell-side availability. It does not guarantee future usage, but it signals a change in intent.

X Finance Bull emphasizes that this type of flow focuses on rails, not charts. He states that institutions care about custody standards, transaction reliability, and compliance readiness. BTC Markets’ role as a Ripple ODL partner adds context.
ODL moves XRP within jurisdictions. Assets used for that purpose must sit in secure, compliant custody before deployment. The transfer fits that operational pattern.
XRP and Institutional Positioning
This transaction does not confirm a price move or predict a rally. Instead, it shows how XRP functions beyond speculation. XRP serves as a liquidity tool when entities move value across borders in real-time.
X Finance Bull summarizes the event by stating that this was not a trade. “It was a move.” The available information supports that view. The transaction removed XRP from exchange liquidity and placed it into infrastructure-grade custody.
