XRP News: 48M Coins Purchased Amid Legal Developments

Notably, Judge Phyllis Hamilton recently rolled out a July 26 deadline for the parties to file a notice revealing whether they seek to continue the exclusion of four experts’ testimony. Simultaneously, the Zakinov vs. Ripple Labs case was referred to Magistrate Judge Robert Illman for resolution.

It’s worth noting that Judge Hamilton sided with Judge Torres’ summary judgment on the programmatic sales, deeming the asset not a security. In the wake of this court order, whales have taken action to heavily hoard Ripple’s crypto.

As per insights revealed by the tracker Whale Alert, two whales collectively bagged 48.13 million coins from Binance today. The whale wallet address rfQ9EcLkU6 bagged 24.29 million coins, worth $14.52 million, whereas the address rarG6 bought 23.84 million coins, worth $13.77 million, from the mentioned exchange.

However, it’s worth mentioning that Judge Analisa Torres’ final judgment still looms, with the crypto community expecting positive XRP news with Ripple’s lawsuit’s conclusion. Meanwhile, the coin soared remarkably in tandem with the buying pressure brought by the abovementioned transactions.
