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.

XRP price is trading at $0.49, up 0.5% in the past 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $0.489 and $0.505. While the price is trading below the support level, the strong trading volume of more than $1 billion shows promise of upside momentum.
