NewsletterXRP Whale Moves For Profit: $50M Token Transferred as Ripple Case Ends
Highlights
- A whale transferred $50M XRP to Coinbase, sparking speculation of a potential sell-off.
- The Ripple vs SEC lawsuit officially ended with a joint dismissal, clearing the legal uncertainty for XRP.
- The XRP price surged nearly 10% in 24 hours, creating profit-taking opportunities for investors.
XRP takes a bullish turn today, inspiring a crypto whale to move its $50M token to an exchange wallet. Notably, the macro events have favored the digital asset’s uptrend today, and the Ripple token has greatly benefited from it, gaining nearly a 10% price surge. Interestingly, in this case, the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit also played a significant role.
XRP Whale Transfers $50M Token to Coinbase
In an X post, the on-chain analytics page Whale Alert revealed that an individual whale has sent 16,594,920 XRP tokens to a wallet in Coinbase. Notably, this many tokens are worth more than $50M, the current XRP price, as it trades above $3 mark.

This token move comes as its recent developments in the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit fuel investors’ optimism. Moreover, the crypto market is up today thanks to Friday’s Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech, where he left a hint for a potential interest rate cut in the future.
As a result, the Ripple token’s worth grew nearly 10% in 24 hours, currently trading at $3.03 with a market cap of $180B. The whale move is also alleged to be in attempts to take the opportunity of the ongoing uptrend, but there’s no confirmed update on the sell.
Ripple vs SEC Case End: What It Means For XRP?
For more than four years, the Ripple case has been the biggest hurdle for XRP. Its performance often tumbled due to the legal issues before finally things began to settle in late 2024. Now, as the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit came to an end after both parties’ joint dismissal at the beginning of the month, and the Second Circuit court’s approval on August 22, the hurdle shouldn’t exist anymore.

For years, analysts have anticipated the XRP to hit $10, $100, or even $1,000 once the case ends. However, that is not reality, as the token still tumbles around $3, but the regulatory clarity could push it higher.
In today’s rally, an XRP whale has made the move to send its holdings to a wallet on Coinbase, in the hope of further uptrends. However, if the whale drops this large sum in the market, a downtrend may begin.
