Recent developments in the XRP market show an increase in significant wallet transactions, occurring as the cryptocurrency experiences a period of market consolidation. After reaching $0.60, the upward trend has paused, with the market now observing notable movements of XRP across multiple wallets.
On September 24, 2024, an address activated by the exchange Bitstamp initiated a series of major XRP transfers to a single wallet. In total, 383 million XRP were transferred across four separate transactions.
The first of these occurred at 16:07 UTC and involved a transfer of 98.852 million XRP, valued at approximately $57.8 million, between two unknown wallets. This was swiftly followed by three additional transfers of 95 million XRP each, valued at between $55.5 million and $55.8 million.
Following the completion of these transactions, the receiving wallet proceeded to transfer 1 million XRP to another unknown wallet. This further sparked speculation within the crypto community regarding the motives behind these movements and the potential market impact.
Additional Movements Raise Interest
Alongside these transactions, other significant transfers involving XRP were observed. The South Korean exchange Upbit transferred 30 million XRP, valued at roughly $17.4 million, to an unidentified wallet.
Whale Alert, a well-known tracker of large cryptocurrency transfers, flagged this transaction, further raising interest. Large-scale movements of XRP, particularly those initiated by whales, often suggest holding intentions, which can reduce the selling pressure in the market and may be interpreted as a positive indicator for the asset.
Concerns Surrounding Larsen’s XRP Transfers
Another key development involved Chris Larsen, the co-founder of Ripple and a major holder of XRP. Larsen moved 20 million XRP from his known wallet to a private wallet that had previously been associated with sales on Binance.
This action, coupled with subsequent transactions directed towards Binance, has fueled speculation about potential sell-offs, which could influence market dynamics and XRP’s price stability.

Price Action and Potential Breakout
While the significant wallet movements have captured attention, XRP’s price behavior continues to be a focal point for market analysts. Sahintas, a well-regarded market analyst, has noted the potential for a strong upward breakout. His analysis suggests that while XRP remains volatile, it could approach or even surpass its previous all-time high in the future.
There is speculation that the current period of consolidation may pave the way for a larger move in the coming months. Analysts will continue to monitor both price action and significant transactions closely, as these factors could provide further insight into XRP’s future trajectory.
