As of today, November 10, a series of enormous whale transactions caught the attention of crypto traders and investors alike as crypto whales reshuffled around 150 million XRP tokens amid the ongoing XRP price fluctuations.
Following Ripple’s partial victory in the US SEC vs Ripple Labs lawsuit, the XRP token underwent constant price fluctuations, with whales jiggering over millions of tokens to date, to build up support orbiting the XRP token.
XRP Whale Transfers: A Detailed Report
According to the recent market data provided by Whale Alert, a blockchain tracking platform, approximately XRP 24.70 million was transferred from an unknown wallet, r4wf7enWPx…5XgwHh4Rzn, to Bitso, a Mexico-based digital asset exchange.
Furthermore, the same wallet transferred XRP 23.40 million to another centralized exchange named Bitstamp, headquartered in Luxembourg City.
The aforementioned transactions revolving around whales sending XRP to exchanges may indicate a possible increase in supply, pushing the market sentiment toward bearish.
However, another transaction that stirred up speculation among crypto enthusiasts involved an unknown wallet, rJqiMb94hy…W8AzELa8nE, sending a whopping XRP 100 million, to another unknown wallet, rP4X2hTa7A…7XZ63sKxv3, as of today.
The aforementioned whale movement to an unknown wallet appears to come contrary to the transfers made to exchanges. The transfer of tokens among unknown wallets indicates that the market might portray a bullish sentiment orbiting the token.
