New Whale Buys 410 Million XRP Worth Over $200 Mln, What’s Happening?
The XRP community gets enthusiastic as almost 410 million XRP worth $201 million moved to a new wallet address from a crypto exchange on Tuesday. The move comes after the recent decline in XRP price as traders book profits amid a selloff in the broader crypto market.
According to a transaction report by Whale Alert on October 17, a whale moved 409,776,402 XRP worth more than $201 million from the crypto exchange Bitvavo. Transaction data revealed that the wallet address is activated today, thus it can be a new whale or an entity buying XRP.
XRP continues to gain acceptance globally after Ripple Labs’ another win in the long-running lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Judge Torres denied the SEC’s motion to file an interlocutory appeal against an earlier order qualifying XRP as not a security. Now, the trial is set for April 2024.
