Blockchain tracking service Whale Alert has reported significant movements of XRP over the past 24 hours. Several large transactions involving the seventh-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization have been recorded, generating increased interest and optimism within the community.
Data from Whale Alert revealed that just over 400 million XRP were transferred across five transactions, with four of these transfers occurring rapidly between two blockchain addresses. Each transfer moved substantial amounts of the asset, prompting speculation among market participants.
Three of these large transfers consisted of 95 million XRP each, valued at approximately $55.5 million at the time of the transaction. The fourth transaction involved a transfer of 98.85 million XRP, worth roughly $57.8 million. These transactions were executed between wallets ending in -1h7Bn and -zSoQbF. In total, the value of the four transfers amounted to $224.2 million.
While these transactions appear to be internal movements between wallets, possibly reflecting the actions of a large investor or exchange, they have attracted attention within the community. The large-scale movement of the token is often interpreted as a positive signal, leading to an increase in bullish sentiment among traders and investors.
In addition to these internal transfers, another 17.23 million XRP was sent from an anonymous wallet to the Bitstamp exchange. Unlike the previous transactions, this movement could indicate intentions to sell or distribute the tokens.
According to data from Bithomp, the wallet involved in this transfer is linked to Ripple. This suggests that the transfer may be related to Ripple’s ongoing partnership with Bitstamp for its international payment platform, Ripple Payments.
The fact that this transfer was directed to an exchange rather than remaining within private wallets has led to speculation regarding its purpose. Some in the community believe it could be part of a broader effort by Ripple to support liquidity on exchanges or related to its payment processing solutions.
Ripple continues to advance its testing of RLUSD, a dollar-backed stablecoin developed on the XRP Ledger. On September 24, Ripple issued two batches of 485 RLUSD tokens as part of the testing phase, according to the “Ripple Stablecoin Tracker” account on social media. Ripple also burned two batches of 50 RLUSD from its Treasury.
Ripple began testing its stablecoin in August, with plans to capitalize on the growing stablecoin market, projected to reach $2.8 trillion by 2028. Currently, the market is dominated by stablecoins such as Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC.
Ripple aims to position RLUSD as a viable alternative, particularly in the cross-border payments sector, where stablecoins can offer more efficient solutions for settlement and value transfer.
