XRP News: Whales Buy 48M Coins After In re Ripple Lawsuit Developments

Published by

XRP News: Ripple Labs-backed crypto has once again raised eyebrows across the broader market. Whales accumulated more than 48 million XRP anticipating upside momentum amid the market recovery. Also, a stipulation order by Judge Phyllis Hamilton in the In re Ripple Lawsuit and deadlines set for further resolution have boosted positive sentiments.

Let’s look at the recent developments surrounding Ripple’s cryptocurrency that have ignited a tidal wave of speculation among market participants.

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.
