In a thrilling plot twist witnessed recently, a staggering 427 million XRP on the move appears to have piqued the interest of crypto market traders and investors globally. As per insights unveiled by the blockchain tracker Whale Alert, a whopping 400 million XRP was unlocked from escrow at Ripple, whereas a renowned XRP whale shifted nearly 27 million XRP to a centralized exchange.

An eminent crypto market analyst, Ali Martinez, contrastingly proclaimed the token to be potentially gaining a bullish momentum ahead, garnering noteworthy interest among crypto market enthusiasts. The derivatives data for the Ripple-backed token further fell in line with the analyst’s remarks, illustrating new money entering the market.
Ripple’s Escrow Unlock & Whale’s Dump
According to the data revealed by the blockchain tracker Whale Alert, Ripple was noted to be unlocking the aforementioned amount of coins, worth $217.40 million, from escrow on Sunday, February 25. Whereas, an XRP whale, going by the address r4wf7enWPx…5XgwHh4Rzn, transferred 27.40 million XRP, worth $14.92 million, to Bitstamp, a Luxembourg City-based CEX.
Intriguingly, Ripple’s massive unlock welcomed new XRP coins into the market, increasing the token’s supply. Additionally, the whale’s enormous dump to a CEX also aided the rise in supply, aligning with the token’s trading in the red witnessed recently. Usual market sentiments of a slump in price with a pump in supply seem to be lingering with these XRP moves.
