Ripple Transfers 50 Million XRP
Meanwhile, Ripple has also been moving millions of XRP to unknown wallets. Just an hour ago, Ripple transferred 50 million XRP, valued at over $25.7 million, to an anonymous destination. This transaction follows Ripple’s recent move to cash out over $100 million XRP last week, sending it to an external wallet. The Crypto Basic reported on Ripple’s sell-off move.
These substantial transactions are occurring as XRP experiences a 2% loss in the past 24 hours, although the asset has maintained a positive gain over the week.
