XRP News: Ripple Moves $915M Coins Sparking Speculations
In the latest XRP news, Ripple has conducted a massive transfer of its native coin, sparking speculations in the market. According to a recent report by the on-chain transaction tracking platform, Whale Alert, the blockchain firm has moved 380 million XRP, worth $915.17 million, to an unknown wallet “rP4X2….sKxv3”.
Notably, the firm has also made similar transfers previously, which has further fueled speculations. While many see this transfer as a selling move by the blockchain firm, others have argued it to be an internal transfer. According to XRPScan data, the address was activated by Ripple (50).
Meanwhile, some other large XRP transfers were also noted recently, which has fueled discussions in the market. For context, the same address was noted transferring a 200 million XRP, valued at around $485.37 million, to an unknown wallet “rJqiM…La8nE”. However, XRPScan showed that this address belongs to a Ripple (50) account.
In addition, another transfer of 60 million tokens, worth about $145 million, was noted between two unknown wallets, further fueling discussions. It’s also worth noting that both these addresses belong to the “Top accounts by XRP balance” list on XRPScan.
Speculations Soar Amid RLUSD Optimism
The transfers have fueled discussions in the broader crypto sector, with a flurry of market enthusiasts looking for the potential reason behind the transfer. However, it appears that most of the transfers were internal movements, which is less likely to impact the prices.
Notably, Ripple has also previously made similar internal transactions. Besides, the market sentiment appeared to have remained high despite the recent transfers, as evidenced by the current price chart. As of writing, XRP price was up more than 5% and exchanged hands at 2.43, and its one-day trading volume slipped 45% to $13 billion.
The crypto has touched a 24-hour high of $2.48 while noting monthly gains of 265%. Furthermore, CoinGlass data showed that XRP Futures Open Interest rose 11%, indicating strong market confidence towards Ripple’s native crypto. Besides, a top market expert has recently predicted the crypto rally to $5, if it holds above a key support level.
Meanwhile, this rally comes as Ripple Labs secured approval from NYDFS for its RLUSD stablecoin. The development was lauded by the broader crypto community, especially amid soaring optimism towards pro-crypto regulation in the US with Donald Trump’s election win.
