More Than 573 Million XRP Moved Within 24 Hours: Details

The bearish state of the crypto market has not deterred whales from moving large amounts of the 7th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, XRP.

Whereas these hefty XRP transfers have become a norm, more than 573 million units of the XRP token have been shifted within the past 24 hours. According to Whale Alert, the leading platform that tracks and reports whale activities, 573,603,776 XRP have been moved within the last 24 hours and in 6 transactions. 

Notably, these XRP movements involved unknown wallets and several top crypto exchanges like Binance, Bitso, and Bitstamp. 

Binance, the largest digital assets marketplace, facilitated the movement of 350 million XRP in one transaction. This transfer, which is the largest XRP transaction in the last 24 hours, involved the movement of XRP, worth about $134.8 million at the time of execution, from a wallet on Binance to an unknown wallet.

The increasing interest in the XRP Ledger native token, majorly backed by the San Francisco-based crypto solutions company, Ripple, could be attributed to the positive developments surrounding the Ripple-SEC case. Following the false settlement rumor in the XRP lawsuit, spread by Fox Business News, XRP rallied over 12% on Tuesday.
