Whale Dumps 60M Coins To CEXs

In the latest XRP news, Whale Alert reported that the renowned address Rzn collectively shifted 68.13 million coins to the CEXs Bitstamp and Bitso over the past day. The first transaction pointed to 34.23 million coins, worth $14.88 million, shifted to the Bitso crypto exchange. Simultaneously, the second transaction flagged 33.90 million coins, worth $14.75 million, moved to the Bitstamp exchange.

These transactions, underscoring the presence of considerable selling pressure on the asset, have failed to pull the price down. The Ripple-backed crypto has, in turn, defied usual market sentiments, gaining unprecedentedly today.

Meanwhile, CoinGape Media has previously reported that the abovementioned XRP whale address has been making recurring similar dumps for quite some time. This has added a layer of intrigue to the whale’s movements and potential motive, painting an uncertain scenario over whether the dump is due to a loss of interest in the asset or a broader approach to another strategic move.

Simultaneously, with the looming end of the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit, crypto market participants are extensively eyeing on-chain movements as the price could take a paradigm shift ahead.
